We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!

Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK. And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight. It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.

ICE Concentration camps; though privately owned; are still under Congressional Oversight. Now, after DOZENS of Deaths, Congressman are showing up unannounced to inspect. One congressperson found conditions that he described as Squalid and Filthy. Worse than MAX Prisons.

This week, Congress will vote to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), one of the US government’s most objectionable, widely abused surveillance policies. Section 702’s abuses were exposed by Edward Snowden. stateofsurveillance.org/articles/gov...

Countdown to reauthorization of the surveillance law FISA Section 702. Here's what's at stake. bit.ly/4tASUmW

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

unfortunately the phrase “at what radius?” will be rattling around my cranium for the rest of the day

Hang on real quick just scribbling "seeing reality fail to match the model, then blaming reality instead of the model" to the list of things that capitalism apologists accuse communists of doing while actively doing themselves

remember when they found out the "austerity" thing was based on a busted spreadsheet and decided to roll with it anyway?

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

Please call your reps. This is urgent and dire—even more so with the recent partnerships with Palantir and AI firms. They are scraping our data and will use it to target individuals for harassment or disappearances.

Congress takes up FISA Section 702 this week. The law has been used for warrantless surveillance of Americans. Lawmakers shouldn't reauthorize without insisting on protections against domestic spying. bit.ly/4tASUmW

As harmful autism disinformation campaigns go, grievance parents‘ attempt to break off “ #profoundAutism” as a separate diagnosis via smearing #neurodiversity advocates is notable—mostly for its spitefulness. Select observations by @embergreen.bsky.social: thinkingautismguide.com/2026/03/debu... 1/

Green: The neurodiversity movement is such an obvious scapegoat; autistic people on TikTok being blamed for families not getting the support they need. When those ppl on TikTok are not getting any support & you’re handing it to, you’re giving credit to people who are promising to remove support. 65/

Green: And I have now seen multiple testimonies from parents who had put their child through ABA, through full-time hours of ABA for years, who are aghast at what they did. It’s so scary. #BetterWaysThanABA 74/

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

voter suppression is a thing. I can't believe I need to say this but systematic problems don't have individualized solutions.

Public access, disabilities, transportation, paid or forgiven time off of work, service people out of state or the country, racism. All of these factor into an individual being able to vote. Democracy doesn't die because the people stop caring, democracy dies because old evil men in power fuck us.

Maybe there's a little blame to spare for those actively working to hide the right to vote behind a paywall like IDs that are not ubiquitous among all voters or sold separately. Or putting elections on work days. Or choosing to make voters not automatically registered like it's 1800-something.

I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist. 100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

And will. Once they’re done with us disabled and queer folks, suddenly red hair will be associated with genetic risks. Left handedness. Catholicism. Obviously this will be extremely racist. Eugenics was literally created to uphold white supremacist ideals. But they will use it as a bludgeon.

To all those men asking why these women didn’t file police reports, I direct you to the Epstein files as an example. Despite police reports, in some cases depositions under oath and NO justice has been dispensed from a court of law. The women are re-traumatized and the men are free.

Why does the world allow genocides in places like Congo, Palestine, & Sudan? Racism. Why can the US instigate an illegal war in Iran with no real pushback? Racism. Why is ICE allowed to freely murder & brutalize people? Racism. Why can’t we truly progress as a society? Racism.

ICE IS DETAINING HUMAN BEINGS IN INHUMANE CONDITIONS. REPORTS OF PEOPLE BEING SHOT, STRIPPED AND NEGLECTED ARE OUTRAGEOUS. IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, AND WE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS. STAND UP, SPEAK OUT AND DEFEND DIGNITY. ICE AND RIGHTS.

This is insane. "New vehicles now sell for an average of nearly $50,000, up 30% in six years, and average monthly payments — based on 10% down and a 6-year note — recently hit $775." I support the War on Cars. But I also recognize that we've created a society where most people can't do without one.

The Autocrat Blank Check, How Your Tax Dollars Are Funding Hungarian Fascism... By Brent Molnar: A Voice of Reason There is a horrifying moment in the collapse of every republic when the ruling class stops pretending to care about the citizens and begins openly looting the treasury.

Today is day 130 of the ICE occupation of MN. We stand in solidarity with communities across the country experiencing their own version of ICE occupations. And if it hasn’t happened yet where you live, now is the time to prepare.

There is an old adage: never send a boy to do a man’s job. It is meant to warn against inexperience masquerading as competence. But what we are witnessing now is not just a violation of that adage. It is a full blown parody of it

As a mother of four and now a grandmother, I cannot imagine the trauma these children are experiencing in detention centers.   No child should be begging to go back to school or treated like a prisoner.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears. "She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..." azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

The far better part of this response is Buttigieg stating that we’ve always had the power to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon through diplomacy.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

someone told me i should save this shit for therapy so i blocked them 🫶

We should not move on from the President threatening to annihilate a civilization.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Using your debt, your search history, and your private data to decide how much you’re worth? Hell no. This is what happens when technology is built to serve profit instead of people. This is why every worker needs a union.

Data centers can increase pollution, raise utility costs, and burden entire electrical grids. I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Power for the People Act to hold data centers accountable for their own electrical costs and establish incentives to reduce their impact on the power grid.
