The Trump administration's illegal cancellation of the Digital Equity Act leaves underserved communities without means to bridge the digital divide. Congress must fight for people's ability to access and navigate the Internet by reinstating grantees' funding and guarding against future budget cuts.

ffs Threads flagged my backup account for review now, let me scroll in peace!

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

This is a big decision! Mass termination of National Endowment for the Humanities grants (remember DOGE doing this?) "unlawful, unconstitutional... and without legal effect." Terminations violate 1st Amendment & equal protection component of 5th Amendment, "and without statutory authority."

fucking awesome

New State Department org chart source just sent me

Thank you all for standing up to this administration. Just one day after Harvard filed suit against the Trump administration for freezing billions in federal funds, more than 180 higher education leaders from across the

They are all forcibly disappeared, they are all just gone, including this person. His family and lawyers should file a report with the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances here: www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

They’re both very evil and very stupid

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

NEW: Pete Hegseth’s Signal chats about pending strikes in Yemen included information from a top general’s secure messages to him, three U.S. officials with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

MFP reporters would like to talk to federal workers in Mississippi who have lost jobs as a result of DOGE. If you or someone you know has lost a job or know of a program that has been cut and would be willing to speak to our reporters, please email us at [email protected]

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

The White House has replaced the federal COVID-19 site with one dedicated to “lab leak” theories and sweeping allegations of cover-ups of the virus

Take this with a grain of salt, but it's not *just* hopecore: I don't know if we are properly considering how much faster info spreads among avg people than it used to. It was a LOT easier to suppress info before the internet. Back then, many *really* didn't know; today, millions know at a click.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Courage is a great way to show you deserve to be a leader.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

Black Mirror pitch: POTUS destroys democracy in 90 days. Everyone watches it happen on their phones. The opposition party leaders are 85 years old and post "Hey, stop" once a day. Toiletries are locked behind glass. An evil online bookstore sends Katy Perry into space for feminism. [fin]

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Our voices are stronger when we howl together 🐺🐺

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

What is WRONG with everybody today??? Wrong answers only.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.

A WH official confirmed today that President Trump plans to overhaul the Endangered Species Act to make it easier to build in the U.S. where endangered species live. A proposed rule would eliminate habitat protections by changing the definition of "harm" to listed species.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

A New Hampshire real estate attorney and American citizen returning home from Canada says he was detained at the border without an explanation and "treated like a criminal."

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

NEW: An ongoing lawsuit over those #SignalGate messages forced the government to cough up some information about its attempts to capture and preserve them to comply w/ the law. The attorneys behind the suit say it just looks like evidence of a calculated effort to destroy government records.

A lawsuit over the Trump administration's infamous Houthi Signal group chat has revealed what steps departments took to preserve the messages—and how little they actually saved. www.wired.com/story/heres-...

After two Montana State students had their immigration status abruptly terminated, @aclu-mt.bsky.social took legal action. The Trump administration doesn't get to unlawfully revoke student visas without any explanation.

putting this here for no reason at all

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

One thing giving God hope is the large number of people advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and all the innocent men abducted and thrown in that foreign prison.

It's Tax Day! While you and millions of others filed your taxes, billionaires paid a smaller tax rate than working families. My bill with Rep. Rashida Tlaib and @nadler.house.gov would combat this extreme wealth inequality. It’s time they pay their fair share.

Our client Rümeysa Öztürk has not been charged with any crime. She is being held in ICE detention in retaliation for her political beliefs. Writing an op-ed is not a deportable offense.

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

DC Bar Members - Remember to submit your ballots for the elections. Stop Bondi's takeover. Brad

every American band who schedules tours abroad is thinking very hard about this these days, I guarantee you.

We’re not sure what separates the Trump admin from the “terrorists” it claims to be fighting. You watch whats happening and can’t even process it—what the hell is going on is all we can think. Our Constitution grants everyone within this country the same legal protections, regardless of citizenship.

The first camps weren't in Germany.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

McCormick was born in 1968. One reason he did not remember seeing people with autism at the time was autism did not have a diagnosis separate from schizophrenia in the DSM until 1980.
