"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

This is some scary shit—and everyone needs to pay attention because it could affect any one of us. Rachel Maddow & NPR just blew the lid off Musk’s DOGE team. A whistleblower at the NLRB says they accessed data without authorization and breached security. The potential motive is pretty shocking. 🧵

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

A spokesperson for ICE endorsed the violent force used to detain a married father in Massachusetts.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Wonder if Muskrat needs some Wisconsin cheese to go with his whine.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

In a health summary worthy of North Korean propaganda, Donald Trump‘s doctor cited his “frequent victories in golf” when discussing the president’s “well-being.”

Bring back Kilmar Abrego García... NOW. 🧵(1 of 6)

The Trump admin illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. SCOTUS ordered them to fix it. Their response today? We have no duty to bring him back.🤬🤬🤬 He’s rotting in a Salvadoran prison while they dodge responsibility. This is not just cruelty—it’s fascism in action. tinyurl.com/Kilmar-no-duty

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

100 motherfucking percent. 🎯🎯🎯👇

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Oh my God... it was all ChatGPT. They didn't even care enough about the American economy to do any of the work themselves. It almost feels... impeachable? How could sloppily using AI to create domestic policy, then hiding it, be consistent with the Oath of Office?

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

trump cancels 20 semi-truck loads of food deliveries en route to Ohio food banks. This is inhumane. Cruelty is the point of this. Each truck holds 100,000 lbs — so $2M worth of food left to sit and spoil, while the kids waiting on it went hungry.

@booker.senate.gov just broke the filibuster record set by the racist Strom Thurmond in 1957 when he protested the Civil Rights Act. How very appropriate that it has been broken by Senator Booker during this dystopian administration. Cory is making John Lewis so very proud. 🩵

The moment we needed. History. Thank you @booker.senate.gov

More than 20 hrs in, and Senator Corey Booker has given proof through the night that our flag is still there! O say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE! ✊🏼 Thank you @booker.senate.gov 💙 www.youtube.com/live/N5NfmuI...

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

Putin on Greenland: "It would be a great mistake to believe that this is just some eccentric talk of the new American administration. Nothing of the kind in fact ... let me remind you that by 1869 the American papers laughed at the purchase of Alaska. The deal was called a folly."

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody texted war plans.”

Why is this not on the front page of every newspaper and on every TV newscast? Right! They’re owned by Rich RepubliCONS who want to continue to pay NO TAXES!

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
