The Trump administration is ripping away SNAP benefits from millions of children. House Republicans remain on a taxpayer-funded vacation for the sixth consecutive week. You deserve better.

this is horrifying

🚨DEI firings at CBS🚨 He asks for this to be downloaded and shared. He and his colleagues deserve so much more, but this is an easy ask. We see you CBS 1/2

I got all weepy

It’s getting harder and harder to avoid concluding that the people who keep voting for shitty people are shitty people themselves.

oh

How does this make us safer?

A Palm Beach commission approved the construction of a new helipad at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club on Wednesday. The plans approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission include a 60-foot helipad, sidewalk and lighting for possible night operations. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

​BREAKING: Today, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum opened all 1.56 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing. These lands are sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, home to irreplaceable wildlife and wilderness, and have never seen industrialization.

Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage. This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

Introverts are the only people who look forward to going home before they even leave their house

FFS, he was President. 😂

Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.

HHS announced today they will consider Head Start a welfare program, not an education program, and will subject it to new citizenship requirements. This goes against decades of legal precedence that all children in America have a right to education. Announcement here. www.hhs.gov/press-room/p...

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

this is a perfect instagram i saved from this morning.

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

Ezra Levin: Thank you for being part of what is a historic movement for liberty and justice for all! We are stronger than the forces seeking to divide us. There are more of us than there are of them. Together we will win. How many kings? Crowd: NO KINGS!!! nokings.org @indivisible.org

The parade today by contrast moves west to east, outside to in. It starts at the Pentagon not Arlington National Cemetary. It follows the symbolic route of troops entering to quell or occupy the city, not leaving with love and thanks. 8/

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

absolutely the lowest priority item in the news but actually makes me angry

“In Irvine, Calif., ICE agents drove a phalanx of military vehicles in the Orange County suburb to arrest a person, though not for illegal immigration. They were seeking a resident’s son who had allegedly posted fliers alerting neighbors to the presence of ICE agents.” www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

Horrendous. A man lying on the ground is repeatedly beaten by LA riot police, before one deliberately tramples him with horse. These officers should face charges. (🎥 Bricktop via X)

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

Tensions flare after ICE agents conduct raids across Los Angeles. Many protesters are out clashing with the authorities. You can see them throwing objects at the vehicles, while others tried to block the vans from leaving. Watch as ICE in the white van runs over a protester. WTF this is CRAZY!

enough is enough

ICE is denying people the right to due process, abducting and trafficking them to foreign countries and locking them up indefinitely in dangerous prisons. Now they’re preparing the military to deploy on US soil and in our communities to help. This is authoritarianism.

😁

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Uh-oh. The Dodgy Boyos have commandeered the NOAA social media accounts. Damnit! 😡

Easter Eggs. 🐣

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

there’s no reason not to do this. it’d probably end up with another kind of constitutional crisis, which is exactly why it should happen.

Last week, House Republicans on the Education and Workforce Committee voted to advance a bill that would force schools to out trans kids, even if it meant putting that child in danger. Here’s what you need to know about H.R. 2616, the so-called “PROTECT Kids Act”: (1/8)

Insightful thread. The tariffs are a way to bring Corporate America to its knees at the felon's feet.

I just discovered @bill-bot.bsky.social and it's wild to see the bills being introduced in Congress. The Dem bills seem like business-as-usual (bill to protect a river in my state! ) The Rep bills keep doubling down on evil (armed law enforcement officers in elementary schools! abolish TSA!)

PSA: If you have a family member who's become addicted to right wing television, put a PIN protected parental lock on FOX News, Newsmax, and OAN the next time you're visiting. Make the PIN something even you won't remember.
