This is a really big deal: a union leader wins in Texas.. and beats a billionaire backed candidate who led anti public school culture wars…. .h/t @zephcapo.bsky.social

When the government disappears people by pulling them off the street into unmarked cars without any due process or accountability, that’s not “law enforcement.” That’s state sponsored terrorism. #ICEOffOurStreets

ICE is showing up at people’s homes without warrants—violating the Constitution and terrorizing families. No judge’s signature means no right to enter. No warrant. No consent. No ICE. #NoWarrantNoICE

Today, in a massive show of support, 1,025 organizations, including immigrant justice, human rights, civil rights, faith, and labor organizations, sent a letter to members of Congress to express horror, outrage & deep grief about the recent shooting deaths by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Trump's Republican Party has money for raids, cages, and deportations—but not insulin, ERs, or mental health care? Bullshit. #FundHealthcareNotICE

We can build a country that keeps people healthy instead of locking them up. Care over cages. Healing over harm. #FundHealthcareStopICE

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Republicans are cutting healthcare, protecting insurance company profits, and leaving families to pay the price. Higher costs. Fewer doctors. Worse outcomes. This isn’t policy failure, it’s a choice. #RepublicanHealthcareDisaster

If the right-wing justices choose to safeguard the independence of the Fed, don’t be fooled into thinking that they’re doing it for you. They’re doing it to protect the special interests that captured the Supreme Court Our latest in Titled Scales: courtaccountability.substack.com/p/how-to-sav...

You can’t claim to care about families while cutting healthcare and expanding ICE detention. Those two things cannot coexist. #FundHealthcareNotICE

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

This weekend, the country stands up to the ICE's violence, including the recent killing of 37 year old mother Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Our co-president @lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social responded to VP Vance's gaslighting about this atrocity on ABC News:

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

Believe your eyes, not the lies

Pretty much sums it up.

This is the video.

5 years ago our Capitol was violently invaded by supporters of our current president. All of them have been pardoned, and many have been empowered. This day will forever live in the memories of those who watched it unfold in absolute horror. Let it fuel our resolve to take our country back.

The strength of our democracy depends upon us remembering exactly what happened on January 6, 2021, and ensuring it never happens again. Read more from CAC VP Praveen Fernandes: www.theusconstitution.org/news/release...

5 years after the Jan. 6th insurrection, Trump got away with inciting violence, and pardoned those who carried it out. His disdain for the rule of law continues. We deserve a country where threats to democracy & political violence aren't normalized. We demand accountability.

Universal health care? “Too expensive.” Child care? “Unrealistic.” Free buses? “No handouts.” High speed rail? “Not doable.” Student debt relief? “Irresponsible.” Rent freezes? “Communism.” Unconstitutional military action abroad followed by indefinite occupation? Funded immediately.

Organizing is not posting. Organizing is relationship-building, repetition, and trust over time. Social media can amplify organizing, but it can’t replace it. Confusing attention for power is one of the biggest strategic mistakes I see.

New year, same truth: Politics doesn’t change because we want it to. It changes when people organize, tell better stories, and build power over time. That’s the work. Everything else is noise.

For anyone who needs to hear it: if the economy is “strong” but families can’t afford rent, childcare, or healthcare, then the problem isn’t public perception. It’s public policy.

America’s healthcare crisis is measured in more than dollars — it’s measured in pain, debt, and preventable deaths. As costs skyrocket, millions are forced to gamble with their health. No civilized nation should accept this. #RepublicanHealthcareFailure

Inflation is hitting from every direction, and families are the ones absorbing the blow. When the basics become unaffordable, it’s not a “temporary trend” — it’s a national emergency. #TrumpInflationCrisis

At #SCOTUS argument this morning, conservative Justices showed no interest in probing what the Constitution’s history and original meaning say about independent agencies. Read CAC's full reaction: www.theusconstitution.org/news/cac-rel...

America is facing an affordability crisis. Families are doing everything “right” — working long hours, cutting back, budgeting — and still falling behind. This isn’t personal failure. It’s a system that’s been rigged to squeeze workers while corporate profits soar. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Now Hegseth is calling it the “fog of war” — so, an unauthorized war? Thanks for clarifying, Pete. That says it all.

Karoline Leavitt says Trump is most transparent president in history, and she’s not wrong. He’s the most transparently offensive. He’s the most transparently transactional. He’s the most transparently fraudulent. He’s the most transparently corrupt. He’s the most transparently cruel.

I'm proud to have earned endorsements from Senators Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy, Chris Van Hollen, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, and Martin Heinrich. They know what it means to stand up to Trump, and I'm ready to join them in the Senate. www.instagram.com/reel/DRR_koB...

Trust in our government and justice system depends on transparency. The public has a right to know how deep corruption runs — and who enabled it. Expose it all. Restore accountability. #StopJohnsonsEpsteinCoverup

Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani!!!!!!!

Tonight’s gonna be a GOOD NIGHT

Let’s gooo!!!!!

Every time politicians redraw maps in the dark, democracy dies a little more. Prop 50 says: Not here. Not now. Not ever. Vote YES to protect fair representation and stop political power grabs cold. #VoteYesOn50Today

Laura Loomer is now officially part of the Pentagon press corps. We live in Idiocracy.

In America, the power belongs to the people. This Election Day, millions will make their voices heard — choosing governors, mayors, school boards, and judges who will shape their communities and our future. Find your polling place at IWillVote.com.

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future. I hope you will too.

COLLINS: Should the president know who he's pardoning? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: I don't know anything about this one. That's the first time I've seen that.

Lots of MAGA voters on food stamps are going to be bending over backwards to justify Trump's decision to take away their families groceries this month. Kids are going to be hungry... but we need to call their parents in, not call them out. We should know by now that condemnation doesn't work.

For the Disappeared in America Weekend of Action, some protested outside of Home Depots nationwide, others held vigils near detention centers, jails, and courthouses. It was a weekend of honoring lives lost to ICE detention and demanding it never happens again. #DisappearedInAmerica

Families are missing paychecks. Small businesses are stuck. Vital services are frozen. Meanwhile Speaker Johnson and his caucus? Still getting paid while taking a taxpayer funded vacation. #RepublicansAreAWOL

A visual metaphor for the rule of law in this country right now playing out in real time.

Fair elections. Equal representation. A government that reflects the people, not just those with power. Prop 50 is about preserving those values — not just in California, but with ripple effects across the country. This is a pivot point that affects us all.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
