Rubio has already sought to punish immigrants for speech. New legislation might let him do it for U.S. citizens.

1,000 West Virginians stand & cheer when Bernie calls for cutting off military aid for Israel!

Great to see this. On Friday 30 of us were arrested, led by many of these same frontline community members fighting for their lives, at Citi CEO Jane Fraser's condo in NYC, demanding Citi stop financing ecocide/genocide from the Gulf South to Gaza. See: www.instagram.com/p/DM2xOISsbD...

Working class people of color from the Gulf South directly confronting fossil capital. Organized by Texas Campaign for the Environment, @planetoverprofit.org, & national @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social coalition, it was one of the most powerful actions I've been a part of in a long time.

The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

I will say that it is funny that three positions that were the core of my youth: the current neoliberal trade regime is bad, the Iraq War is a monstrous mistake and George W Bush sucks, have now become right-wing canon.

Many thousands marched in Philly today against the Trump/Musk regime. And they brought with them some fantastic signage.

“The ability to participate in regulatory decision making is not a privilege: it’s a legal requirement and a fundamental right in a democratic society.” Essential commentary from @thelizarmy.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/389/...

1/🧵 "More voters help Republicans" is reshaping Dem strategy after 2024. We put this claim to the test with a deep dive into voter files and survey data. Results? Non-voters remain disproportionately Democratic while GOP simply turns out their base better.

I would like to address Schumer’s alarmist line that the courts will “stop” unless Democrats CAVE IN to Trump’s budget. As I’ve written *repeatedly* THE COURTS WILL NOT STOP TRUMP, NOR HAVE THEY. They’ve told him to turn the money back on ALREADY… HE HASN’T!!

The whole “vibe shift” thing is going to age about as well as Freedom Fries. Mark my words.

The First Amendment does not allow the government to retaliate against anyone for their speech. If Speaker Johnson needs a reminder, we're happy to send him a pocket Constitution.

“All eyes are now on the Trump administration. If the president chooses to terminate the #DACA program following today’s ruling he will be solely responsible for separating families, devastating entire communities, and toppling the U.S. economy." Full statement below.

3/ The point of this to temporarily confuse the issue so that Senate Ds can say they vote for their version while allowing the GOP version to pass. The critical point is that it's handing the GOP the 60 vote threshold for nothing.

Our April issue features Eamon Whalen on Richard Reeves and his solutions to men in crisis, @elienyc.bsky.social on airline deregulation, @davidklion.bsky.social on the cruel world of Stephen Miller, Jorge Cotte on the new season of “Severance” and so much more.

NBCC Co-Vice President/Events Lauren LeBlanc reviewed Karen Russell’s "The Antidote" for the Los Angeles Times:

Democrats want to fight. House Democrats did not cave, held the line, and made Johnson and Trump come up with the votes. Senate Democrats should do the same or be prepared to face a backlash from supporters. www.politicususa.com/p/house-demo...

(Should have won)/A nominee at this year’s Oscars, check out The New Yorker’s short documentary “Incident” composed wholly of bodycam footage of and around the Chicago Police Department’s fatal shooting of barber Harith Augustus, and the cops’ hollow narrative justifying the murder.

While the warfare state seems all too natural to most politicians and journalists, its consequences have been transformational for the United States in ways that have skewed the political climate.

The Trump Slump is now open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Trump’s team is taking a hatchet to the First Amendment, and waging a war against the media and against universities that is starting to look remarkably similar to wars in other countries that have embraced autocratic leaders in recent years.

If nothing else, recent political events should have driven home the need for public goods to be publicly owned and democratically governed.

What the Trump administration is doing to unions right now is worse than what Reagan did to PATCO, and if TSA workers allow their union contract to be tossed out without striking, public sector union power in America will soon be decimated. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/strike-or-...

Mayor Michelle Wu touted Boston’s safety and defended the city's immigration policies during testimony in front of a congressional committee. Here's how the hearing unfolded.
