1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants. The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

At last -- the SCOTUS steps up and remembers they are supposed to be about JUSTICE.

The sadists are getting off on these made-for-video raids; they get pleasure out of reviewing the videos. But it's never enough; they'll want more violence on more people, more children traumatized, more elders thrown to the ground, injured. Tell the RED senators to SHOW UP and stop the violence!

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

“Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes.” 1/2 www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Another proud moment for Florida -- this is our Senator hoping we've forgotten his criminal history:

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Children are starving in Gaza because of Israeli government policies. Hundreds of people from around the world organized a civilian flotilla to try to deliver food. Israel arrested them. The United States must demand the immediate release of all detained Americans.

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using every lever to provoke our communities and incite chaos. If Trump and Noem wanted to help Illinoisans, they would work with us — not against us — to protect public safety.

Congratulations JB Marshall on your excellent Letter to the Editor in today's Arizona Daily Star! Speaker Mike Johnson is so small he seems to have lost the strength to use his gavel. He must swear in #AdelitaGrijalva now, and release the Epstein Files!

Non-paywalled original article in the comments. Two different issues here: 1. You shouldn't be discussing troop movements where someone can see your screen. 2. You shouldn't be considering deploying the 82nd Airborne to Portland?? Everything they do is ridiculous.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We’re two weeks away from the largest day of peaceful protest in American history. No matter where you live, there’s probably a No Kings Day event happening near you to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

“The SBC mirrors Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son, consuming the innocent under terror of losing power… This is the banality of evil in evangelical America: violence so normalized, so bureaucratically managed, so Christianized, that it no longer shocks... " christabrown.substack.com/p/the-southe...

Apple and Google think caving to authoritarian censorship is best for their bottom line. It’s on us to show these cowards that there’s a price to sacrificing our First Amendment rights at the altar of corporate profit.

Before you hit the streets on No Kings Day, join the @aclu.org’s know your rights, protest safety, and de-escalation training to take action safely and confidently. Learn how to protect yourself and your community while standing up for your rights.

Today we mark the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. It’s a day to honour the lives lost, support the families and communities who continue to grieve, and commit ourselves to ending violence and injustice.

We are joining over 200 partners [and counting] for this national movement in two weeks’ time. Check out the amazing clusters of local events from sea to shining sea—and beyond! Find yours here: nokings.org#map

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

Johnson’s press conference cut off the air after he again lied about ACA subsidies. Cabrera set the record straight: “Just to make sure we don’t offer misleading information ... There is no access for undocumented immigrants to get Obamacare. That’s just the fact.” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Yesterday, I asked Americans to tell me what a DOUBLING of health care premiums would mean for their families. Here are just a few of their responses:

Of course what he means is that she should be grateful to white people. No one is more contemptuous of their own country than Trump, Vance, and co. They despise its democracy, loathe its diversity, and have literally declared war on America’s own cities.

From *How Democracies Die* by Steven Levitsky & Daniel Ziblatt; like now: And merely a day after Hitler became chancellor, a prominent conservative who aided him admitted, “I have just committed the greatest stupidity of my life; I have allied myself with the greatest demagogue in world history.”

This weekend, there are Trump Shutdown protests planned around the country. We must turn up the pressure on Republicans for refusing to negotiate with Democrats and lower healthcare costs for our families. Join a local event to demand that Congress make healthcare affordable for our families.

The GOP controls all 3 branches. They own this shutdown. All so they can dismantle the ACA, strip care from millions, raise premiums, and continue transferring our wealth to billionaires while blaming Democrats for their failures and scapegoating immigrants who don't even get healthcare.

The Senate may soon take up legislation that’s poised to cement a massive deregulatory giveaway to crypto billionaires. Hear from Sens. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @smith.senate.gov on how we can push back against the crypto industry’s rhetoric and undue influence: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

look at the map here -- more than 2000 protests planned already... www.nokings.org

She was right has now become a daily message.
