periodic reminder that the boat bombings are still happening

And they will say this is a victory like somehow they helped these families. Hungry kids are a policy failure.

The Supreme Court is handing Trump a blank check for his cruel agenda to expel those fleeing violence and disaster. This is not commonsense reform — it’s only fueling Trump’s desire to attack people because of their skin color.

More evidence for the thesis that one of Donald Trump's most pernicious effects on American life is enabling others' cruelty. In this case, enabling six people with real power to inflict untold cruelty.

Today's TPS decision is so fucking cruel because Haitians and Syrians followed all the rules that they were supposed to follow and now they're all of a sudden here "illegally" because a bunch of racists said so. I'm feeling so much fury on behalf of the many Haitians I know.

Jersey blueberries have arrived at the Capitol! 🫐

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

"If Americans don't like kings, how come 'The Lion King' is so popular on Broadway? Huh? Explain that to me."

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

🚨SNAP tracker update: Data through February is now available for all states. In the 7 months since H.R. 1 enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history last summer, we estimate that SNAP participation fell by more than 3.5 million people nationwide. cbpp.org/research/foo...

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

How can you stand the corruption America? These funds won’t be coming from the billionaires pockets, they don’t pay enough in taxes.It’s coming from the pockets of everyday Americans. He is enriching himself at your expense, when you can’t afford health care or to feed you kids. #Sheshed

They said it was just Bluesky panic: fears the GOP would try to cancel the 2026 midterms. Really? Across the South, FOUR elections have been halted or nullified so far in May "Southern change gonna come at last. Now your robes aren't white, but black" My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Every white man is saying a version of this these days. The most oppressed people in the history of the world 🙄

Tax invisibility is a scourge in our politics > Public childcare isn't free, it's tax-funded. > People buying $34 burgers pay taxes. > Believe $34 burger eaters should pay more? wait until you hear about this idea "progressive taxation" Wow, problem solved, thanks taxes! 😀

This is exactly right, the ballots were filled out before the election and the proof is in the postmark on the ballot. Why is it so hard for these justices to understand how mail works?

REP. HIMES: “How many arrests for noncitizens voting?” KASH: 🤷🏽‍♂️ cc: @MarshaBlackburn

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Putting the Obamas’ heads on apes is racist filth! A white supremacist to trick his cult who lack any humanity. It’s not humor. It’s dehumanization for cowards who hide behind memes because they’re afraid to say the slur plainly. It exposes nothing but cowardice. #DefendersofDefenders #SheShed

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

We had eradicated this disease. And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

The Constitution didn’t change between Kyle Rittenhouse and Alex Pretti. The only thing that changed was who the system felt like protecting. Kyle Rittenhouse openly carried an AR-15, crossed state lines, inserted himself into a protest he didn’t live in, pulled the trigger, and killed two people.

If you think kidnapping American citizens is the best possible evidence that this is about white supremacy not immigration, may I introduce you to the fact that they are kidnapping literal Indigenous people

MLK’s Family Urges Nation To Spend Anniversary Of His Death Twisting His Words To Fit Own Political Agendas https://theonion.com/mlk-s-family-urges-nation-to-spend-anniversary-of-his-d-1824991630/

I wrote a book review! It's a great book and really made me think about how to work and care for our neighbors and families...so important right now. Thanks @feministeconomics.bsky.social for the opportunity.

In Trump's America, if you are a fraudster, pedophile, insurrectionist, drug trafficker, or neo-nazi, you get a pardon. But if you're an elected leader who speaks out against the Trump Administration, you get investigated. This is not justice.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Taunting is not a justification for arbitrary executions. Collective guilt is contrary to the rule of the law. Resisting the state— even if unlawful and prosecutable—doesn’t justify a death sentence. Our colonial ancestors rejected that agents of the state are absolutely immune for their wrongdoing.

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis. ICE should release all of that video so the public can have clarity about the Secy's claim the shooting was self defense. www.ice.gov/news/release...

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
