If an authoritarian gains control of the capital city, it becomes much harder to stop him overall. Everyone who wants to stop Trump needs to help stop this.

In NYC, 40+ Jews arrested calling to LET GAZA LIVE This is what Torah looks like. Second photo, top left, that’s the incredible Rabbi Ari Lev Fonari getting arrested.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Posted in the State Department. The resistance always grows. Tomorrow there will be more of us.

Please spread the word that Medicaid goes under a variety of names, depending on your state. 👇 Your state & loss 👇

Today at the Arlington, VA #TeslaTakedown, organizers had a special sign installation called, “What is fascism?”

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

When people die because their Medicaid is gone and kids starve because there’s no SNAP, all so that greedy corporations and the super rich can get richer, I hope everyone remembers who to blame. www.cnn.com/2025/06/28/p...

Really good WSJ article on ICE escalations over recent weeks including Miller's visit to ICE national HQ where he demanded Home Depot raids. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

A beautifully written essay. "We’re not allowed to kill people. We’re not. I’m totally clear on this...Why does it feel like a shameful betrayal to say this out loud in Jewish spaces?" Because intra faith conflicts are the hardest and lately our leaders have made denial an unhappy choice.

The whole entire world is a very narrow bridge and the main thing to recall I can't remember right now because the people who taught me that song and the ones I sang it with may make the same excuses when they come for me, and you—Joelle Novey

"What is my prediction for the end of the world?" Rev. Laura Martin asks at the Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions (FACS) awards event. "I believe the world has already ended ... and begun again, and will over and over."

With the desperate humanitarian situation ongoing in Gaza, we are putting together a virtual auction to raise money for several families in critical need of supplies like food, water, meds, hygiene products, and baby diapers. Please check out our Linktree for more info! linktr.ee/gazaaidcolle...

On Earth Day, our Director Joelle closed a multi-faith gathering on Capitol Hill with this song by Sarina Partridge:  "But don't you hear them too, the voices cutting through the despair saying: 'We need you there, in the belly of the beast, singing, singing, singing–  through times such as these."

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

"News that autistic people can't pay taxes is news to autistic people who paid taxes Tuesday" www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

What the actual fuck is this asshole’s obsession with autism? Literally two of the people I love the most in this world have autistic diagnoses. One is my husband who’s a fucking college professor and truly the greatest man I’ve ever met. This is fucking eugenics talk.

Some background on Senator Van Hollen that is probably relevant tonight: * He sits on the Senate Foreign Relations committee * He was born in Pakistan, where his father was a diplomat * He was a thoughtful and consistent critic of Biden’s Gaza policy and visited the Rafah crossing in 2024

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

I'm really @&# tired of stupid careless vengeful people firing my friends.

If you watch the raw footage of the Kristi Noem event, the guards chose men with a lot of tattoos, made them move to the front of the cell, and then stripped them down to nothing but shorts so they would be degraded. The dehumanization is the point. Fascism is here.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

Teamwork makes the dream work! ✨ More than 100 people worked today to visit EVERY SINGLE HOUSE OFFICE on our priority list, 340+ in total, to talk about the DC Local Funds Act. We know this bill has a ton of support, now it’s time to get it across the finish line! Join us: freedcproject.org/house

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

You know what we don't need from state legislators right now? Proposals to light anything else on fire.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

It was always going to get to criminalization. They were always going to start with someone who was marginalized, serving a marginalized community, so there wouldn't be an uproar. The frogwater is boiling hotter and hotter.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Huge march in New York today protesting the illegal DOGE cuts

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.
