This is horrible. 13 dead with 20 still missing as of the last I heard. Prayers to our hill country neighbors

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people. When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time. But this is the party of “family values,” right?

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Pending #CriticalMinerals trade deals are likely to accelerate dirty, exploitative models of resource extraction if negotiated in the shadows. Let's work together for a just & sustainable clean energy transition. Learn how at: CriticalMineralsJustice.org

As part of my work on the Houston Democracy Project, I spoke at the big Houston 50501 protest. We must show up for ourselves, demand that our elected officials join the fight & be ready for whatever is on the way. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Union members submit a jaw-dropping 320,000 signatures — more than double the required amount — to put a referendum on the ballot against the legislature’s bill banning public employee unions from collective bargaining. But no one is declaring victory yet: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol

Sanders: We’re here in so-called conservative Utah, and tomorrow we’ll be in Idaho—because we believe that in every state in this country, people are prepared to stand up and fight back

Stop being nice, fellow Democrats! Republicans are criminal psychopaths and we could at least give them a good tongue lashing. What is this with playing nice? It’s like taking a knife to a gun fight.

Congratulations to our new TDP Chair, Kendall Scudder!

The Trump administration canceled an ongoing investigation into the impact of U.S. trade policy on communities of color, women, seniors, rural folks, and others. They shut down a roundtable on race & ethnicity with a day's notice.

In which Curtis Yarvin describes his vision for dismantling democracy and installing a President/CEO/Monarch.. graymirror.substack.com/p/a-conversa...

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

Keep speaking out and advocating for what is right. Take the lead in your communites. Join a local grassroots organization and/or your local Dem Party club. If one is not available, create it. Cross-train. Relationship and community build. Organize and mobilize.

Greg Abbott is a liar. Well, he's much more than that, but I'll keep it clean. #savepubliceducation #txlege #VoucherScam Nvm. He's a prick.

Organize.

🚨 Rural America is about to get SCREWED. And if you live in Texas? Well, add a cherry on top. 🍒 Let’s talk about what’s coming. 🧵👇 75 counties in Texas are seeing their populations shrink. Why? Climate change. Agricultural challenges. But here’s the kicker…

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Where the F is Congress?? Spare me the press conferences outside of government agency buildings and speeches about "stopping" Elon Musk without saying how. Get your sh*t together and DO YOUR JOBS! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/US/treasury-...

Last week @allinwithchris.bsky.social cited @propublica.org and @documented.net's reporting that revealed Russ Vought promised donors in a private speech to put civil servants "in trauma," a plan that's clearly already underway.

Today's Houston Democracy Blog post says Trump, Musk & crew are evil. We are often policy & process driven. But evil exists also & the effort to undo all progress since Appomattox is evil. Let's see our opponents as they really are. #Houston www.neilaquino.com/houston-demo...

So far the war on so-called "DEI" - has come for - women at the CIA who want to get together and celebrate women spies - people at the Defense Intelligence Agency who want to observe...Holocaust Remembrance Day. - apparently, any federal celebration of...Black History Month.

Texas agencies struggle with staff shortages, outdated tech, and GOP neglect.

These people are un-American and they hate our country. They want the oligarchs to rule

From the Daily Dispatch: A Lubbock dad of three, trying to secure a a green card, is swept up in Trump's mass deportation after an LPD police officer turns him in to ICE during a traffic stop. Pod: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x Story: tinyurl.com/2ba6tbrd
