Elon is a bad person.

Caitlin Rourk is a great candidate for Texas-10!

"He doesn't know anyone detained at the center, but he says he was there because of his faith... 'If you're a Christian, you care about people and their treatment and their circumstances,' he said. 'The least we can do is be here for them'..." www.krgv.com/videos/prote...

Ha ha, ouch!

Nailed it here. 👇

Right outside of Austin. Deed restrictions are suddenly irrelevant? I hope the appeal is successful.

That's what I'm talking about!

This had such promise!

We already have a process for determining whether accusers are credible. It’s called a trial. And a jury already decided they believed E Jean Carroll. THIS is weaponization. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u...

Great thread. Ideally, since Texas is now starting with a clean slate in that Senate seat, we'll elect James Talarico to shift some of that power back to the people!

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “Massie’s district was Trump +35, they only won by 10 and spent $35 MILLION… nobody was at Gallrein’s party. This was about outside💰. Trump’s (not compelling) platform is ‘I want to get rich, I don’t care that you’re poorer’ - That’s what last night told me.”

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones is one of my personal heroes. I recently had the chance to speak to him about the racist redistricting plot being enacted in his state and others in the South. Republicans are trying to bring us back to the Jim Crow era that so many fought (and died) to end.

Let's sum up Trump's tariffs. 1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary. 2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business. 3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$. 4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds. 5) Consumers will get squat.

TODAY: Folks in Texas are protesting the Dilley ICE detention center, demanding the Trump administration shut it down. Signs read: NO KIDS IN CAGES.

I appreciate the work these representatives are doing to (1) fight the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to violate our civil liberties, and (2) keep the American people informed about what they're doing.

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo: “weak on crime” “terrible for foreign policy” “catering to the Radical Left” “owes his position to me” “sit down and mind your own business” POPE LEO, unbothered: “We are called to love.”

If Trump bombs power plants in Iran, the humanitarian crisis will be horrific. Experts tell me to expect water shortages, closed hospitals, many deaths. “We’ve never had a US president so proudly promise to commit war crimes," Sen Chris Murphy says. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2087...

ACTION: U.S. Officials are calling Trump a blood thirsty mad dog. JD Vance got his ass in Hungary. Nobody in the Republican Party has the backbone to stand up and ALL communication with the U.S. has been cut off from Iran. Every American should be calling the Capitol, now! (202) 224-3121 ☎️

Impeach Trump.

When I confronted John Cornyn at the airport, he said it would be “not acceptable” to fund TSA workers without more money for ICE. He caved, and now House Republicans did too. When Democrats stand and fight, we can win.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD): “Today President Trump has sacked Attorney General Pam Bondi, ending a tenure that will be remembered as a profound betrayal not only of the Department of Justice but of the American people the Department exists to serve." "For the record, the DOW was under 50,000"

Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility and I'll take the opportunity to once again say that trans people matter, their lives have meaning, and what's being done to them by so many politicians and people in this country is wrong.

Just a little economics with breakfast starts the day off right!

patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after

This is very important work. Please read all of it. alisav.substack.com/p/ghislaine-...

It fits Trump to a T. “The state was little more than the extended ‘household’ of the ruler; it did not exist as a separate entity.” Weber called this system “patrimonialism” because rulers claimed to be the symbolic father of the people—the state’s personification and protector.

This really proves this was a coordinated plan by Republicans to create an airport crisis by jamming TSA agents while cynically claiming in their messaging campaign that Dems were to blame. Republicans used airports as their negotiating leverage.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

The view from the Austin Amtrak station

Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

You know who kept Iran from getting nuclear weapons? Obama. Trump ripped up that deal and walked away, and here we are today. He's desperately trying to come up with a way to solve a problem that he created out of thin air.

White friends, feeling other people’s suffering is going to hurt. It should. Those people are worth it. They are worth the relative inconvenience of reading, of watching, of knowing, of feeling, of responding... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-white-...

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Recently in one of the education sessions the doctors I work with run, they brought up how many children used to die from measles each year. 2 million. 2 MILLION children used to die every year, worldwide, from measles. That is the world anti-vaxxers want, and it is evil.

So important! Immigration lawyers (even those who are temporary and reluctant) deal with complex and constantly changing laws and regulations. If you can, please support their efforts. The Texas Immigration Law Council is one that's working to protect against Trump’s illegal "armies": txilc.org

#ProudBlue #Pinks Good morning, friends! John Pavlovitz is right. This is our mess and it’s up to us to stand strong in the face of this evil administration. Racism isn’t new, it has always been here. It’s time to push back harder against those who are destroying our diversity. Diversity is American

A bundle of 1400+ games for $10 (or more, if you so choose) has launched, raising money for a great cause. (organised by the ceaselessly helpful @jesthehuman.itch.io) itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...
