There are no moderates among the Republicans, even the ones you may have hoped would have stayed moderate. This will apply more and more to far right antisemitism, as well. Although all the other racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia should have been enough to understand this.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

How does that help the everyday American? America first?... Oh you meant American banks first! Ohhhh derp. 😐

This is very clear and honest, at a time when honesty and clarity seem increasingly hard to come by.

I called Rep Carson’s office asking him to get a group of Representatives and Press to go to that prison in El Salvador to demand to see the prisoners deported/conditions they are being held in. Let’s bring attention to the folks who are absolutely not criminals and are being treated as such.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory I’m going to keep saying it… The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is an abortion The treatment for a septic uterus is an abortion The treatment for a miscarriage that doesn’t release is an abortion If you don’t get these procedures YOU DIE YOU. DIE.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

Holy shit. US citizens potentially deported to El Salvador?

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

BREAKING The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders. The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

Good news! "A federal judge paused the Trump administration’s “deferred resignation” offer to federal workers until at least Monday. Federal workers had just hours left to decide whether to accept an offer to resign from their positions now while retaining pay and benefits through September."

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Okay, pardon us, but F this. America, you’ve got to stand up.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Today I called my state rep & state senator to oppose SB 143 and SB 123 as well as to support HB 1167 and SB 142. This took approximately 7 minutes and they were both pleasant conversations. If you need help making these efforts, holler.
