AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…

We at Defend Public Health want to wish everyone a Happy Pride Month, while also recognizing the horrifying times we are in for the entire community. We will always stand together with the LGBTQIA2S+ community as members and allies.

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

But wait there's more bsky.app/profile/andr...

⭕ #TODAY Hundreds march through the streets of downtown #Chicago chanting, “U.S. out of the #MiddleEast!”

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

"Your mother wears combat boots" stopped being an insult when mothers started having to wear combat boots just so that their kids might not grow up with fascism.

Brutal cold lingered in the wake of a massive storm that dumped deep snow across more than 1,300 miles from Arkansas to New England and left parts of the South coated in treacherous ice. https://to.pbs.org/3O7kXL0

After a yearlong investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board did not find a single cause for the deadly collision near Washington, D.C., but blamed the crash on multiple systemic failures. n.pr/4anA5M7

Abolish. ice. 💔

Look, it's been hard for me to figure out how to talk about the difference between healthy masculinity and bullshit, weak, fear-based control fantasies, but BOY HAS THIS WEEK MADE EVERYTHING MORE CLEAR.

It’s been 39 days since the Epstein files were supposed to be released.

WEMBY: “Every day I wake up and see the news and I’m horrified. It’s crazy that some people make it seem like the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime. www.ms.now/news/no-civi...

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

If you have a local Mexican or Asian supermarket. You need to do as much of your shopping there as possible. Trust me. The quality of the ingredients is better, and the prices are dramatically cheaper. It's genuinely a life hack.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

*hisses like a cat* BAD www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Have you seen the video of Alex Pretti reading the final salute? "Today we remember that freedom is not free."

Ontario-based study suggests shingles vaccine prevents or delays new-onset dementia #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I forgot how much I love the percussion of an oak in autumn. The whoosh crack swish thump thud of an acorn losing its cap, hitting a leaf, bouncing off the earth and coming to rest.

www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/p... Garbage headline. The headline makes it seem that Zohran is the one in the wrong here. But if you read the article, it makes it clearer that it's people like JD Vance that are the problem. But who cares about facts when all you care about is clicks. #zohranmamdani #cnn

I don't understand this. Members of the military are required to keep national defense information secret - no NDA needed.Unless it's about unlawful orders? I wish we could see a copy of the NDA. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

The rampant corruption we see today is rooted in Citizens United vs. FEC, a disastrous Supreme Court decision that declared money is speech and corporations are people. In a conversation with @couriernewsroom.bsky.social, I unpacked the ruling that put a for sale sign on our democracy.

Our seniors, veterans, and children should not be used as pawns by this administration. Thank you, Governor Shapiro, for taking legal action to demand Trump use the BILLIONS in available funds to pay next month’s SNAP benefits & ensure nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians can put food on the table.

Exxon is trying to argue that requiring it to report emissions and disclose climate risks is an attack on free speech. What garbage. newrepublic.com/post/202312/...

Forget the polls. Take nothing for granted. And let's work our hearts out these next seven days. Vote now: zohranfornyc.com/vote Canvass + phonebank: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

It's obvious to everyone except Rs that "These people are not pouring money into coffers of the Trump family business because of the brothers’ acumen. They are doing it because they want freedom from legal constraints & impunity that only the president can deliver." www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Maybe they should watch Russell Crowe’s new Nuremberg movie when it comes out next week. Just some helpful advice.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.
