This is barbaric. Children are needlessly dying horrific hunger deaths because Netanyahu is not allowing food to get in. How are these kids bearing the consequences of what Hamas did? How can the Israeli government justify this? www.reuters.com/world/middle...

The Trump admin has begun to target Afghan interpreters and their families who are legally in the US for deportation back to be murdered by the Taliban. www.newhavenindependent.org/article/35_y...

It had been 2 weeks since a judge ordered the Trump admin to allow the detainees it was trying to ship off to South Sudan to talk to their lawyers–and the lawyers say they have still not heard from the detainees who have been stuck in Djibouti this whole time. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

We're deeply troubled too, because one of our elected officials is openly embracing Christian nationalism. Rep. Mary Miller doesn’t oppose prayer in Congress, just non-Christian ones. There shouldn’t be any government-sponsored prayer on the House floor. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Israel murdered 9 kids from a single family today. The father is fighting for his life. He had just dropped off his wife at the hospital where she worked. She ran back home after the attack to find the burned remains of her loved ones. Fuck #Israel and fuck anyone who defends this #genocide.

The foreign emoluments clause was written to prevent exactly this. Blatantly unconstitutional

The brilliant Maria Ressa @mariaressa.bsky.social has chilling but urgent advice for America. "The rights you lose today, you're going to have to claw back with much more. [..] Hold the line." youtu.be/yWpedkNHo3E?... Hold the line, folks. Don't roll over in advance. If you fight back, you win.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. 🔥 Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need. @repjasmine.bsky.social

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

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.

Once you’ve agreed to crawl, he will make you keep crawling. Maybe stand up, brush off the dirt on you, and say enough is enough? Just a thought, for you supposed officers of the court.

If every university, law firm, governor, federal judge, CEO, member of the press… banded together in solidarity against the current tyrannical regime we would be rid of it. The United States is falling because our most powerful institutions and individuals are also the most cowardly and complicit.

Three days of status updates: Zero actual status updates.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

Whodathunk the clinical narcissist who bankrupted 6 casinos would be a poor steward of the economy? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...

Give your senators and representatives a call to give them an ear full about Trump tanking the economy, especially if you're in a red state. If there's one thing Republicans care about, it's the economy. So tell them how Trump's tariffs are affecting you. This app is super helpful: 5calls.org

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Kamala laughs funny, so now Trump is destroying your 401k, dismantling the government and coming for your social security.

Wow — FLASHBACK — Rubio, Cruz, Ernst, Graham and other Republicans were against tariffs 👇🏽 (From @accountablegop.bsky.social )

Implementing these inexplicable #tariffs is incredibly stupid on its face. It wrecks the US economy and destroys long standing alliances. They only start to make sense once you consider who really benefits. Donald #Trump, aka agent #Krasnov, is a wonderful and loyal asset to #Putin.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

This is chilling. It is a national emergency. We are consigning this person to torture so Trump can further curry favor with Putin.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Her crime was writing an op/ed. Her visa was valid, but she wrote an op/ed

“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social share the group chat in which officials planned strikes on Yemen. theatln.tc/AHkpb39A

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES. Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.

Presidents #DonaldTrump and #ElonMusk are foreign assets - or at least they are acting as such. Both are enemies of the United States, full stop, and they are working feverishly to dismantle the US and the post-WWII global order. Both need to be deposed before they can finish the job.

There *really* should be a process for American voters to recall a sitting President. Trump's acting like a Russian asset, gutting institutions, attacking courts, eviscerating relations with our allies, tanking the economy, and is deeply unpopular, yet he's untouchable? That is absolutely bonkers.

It's pretty wild to see what the Tesla Takedown people have built from nothing, totally organically in just two months. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

In case you were wondering about the status.

In South Korea, Pres. #Yoon was impeached & arrested after a power grab. In Romania, #Georgescu was barred from the vote after a #Russian disinfo campaign to benefit him was exposed. In Brazil, ex-Pres. #Bolsonaro was charged for plotting a coup. What's happening here in the US is NOT normal.

Currently reading @mariaressa.bsky.social How to Stand Up to a Dictator. A must read in these dark times.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) @chrismurphyct.bsky.social effectively breaks down the staggering amount of brazen corruption of the Trump administration. Please watch this. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco...

lotta people trying very very hard to win the 2024 election instead of adapting to the rapidly shifting environment

People need to realize that the West is already at war with Putin's #Russia. Appeasement NEVER works with dictators, stalling only benefits #Putin. There is only one way for #Putin to stop and that is when he's either dead or ousted.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

#Trump needs to end his pause on military aid to #Ukraine NOW. Please call your reps, I just did. @5calls.org makes it easy. 5calls.org

What a colossal waste of talent. Trump & Musk are systematically dismantling the US government from the inside out. It will take decades to rebuild. Meanwhile, the quality of Government services will suffer, and Republicans will point to this and say "see, Government is failing you".

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

This administration is clearly compromised by and beholden to #Putin and therefor illegitimate. #Ukraine

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.
