Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst” — he’s going after all immigrants. And we must be clear eyed about this — he’s using immigrants as a testing ground for stripping Constitutional protections for ALL of us.

If only we could. Unfortunately, here's more proof to the contrary. Peter Thiel said it, then suddenly we have this. wendy664.substack.com/p/ice-is-qui...

🚨You know it’s serious when @aaronparnas.bsky.social intro changes to “Wait till you hear this shit”‼️

Four years ago today, the Buffalo community was forever changed when a gunman murdered 10 Black Americans at a local grocery store. We honor their memories by continuing the fight against gun violence, hate, and extremism in all its forms.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

"As they rushed into his apartment...he felt the jaws of a large dog biting into his ankle, knocking him to the floor. He screamed as the dog tore the flesh from his thighs, hip and wrist. Down the hall, agents took a mother and her 16-yr-old son at gunpoint..." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

All it takes to call a recall election of Governor Landry in Louisiana for his disenfranchisement of Black voters is 500,884 signatures. That's just 20% of the electorate, when he won his last election with 52%. If you're in Louisiana, get on board with this effort. www.audacy.com/wwl/news/loc...

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

BREAKING: The DOJ is now 146 days overdue in releasing the Epstein files.

Trump wanted his name on buildings. Well… he got it. On a two-story Epstein files monument in Tribeca. Resistance organizers said “hold my beer.” Read the full edition

"What you lack is accountability. And that just might be the most disturbing part." Brava 👏 Brava to this teenager for calling out everyone on this board. What an excellent job she did, with incredible poise. #Pinks #ProidBlue

This assessment assumes typical turnout: “Republicans have roughly 10 more House seats that favor them than they did just 10 days ago.” High turnout can defeat gerrymanders. And Senate races are statewide, so this doesn’t affect them. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/09/u...

For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.

Exactly!

Marco Rubio: Operation Epic Fury is over. Our preference is to return to the pre-war status for the Strait of Hormuz. 🇺🇸US Senator: But the SOH was already open before the war? So what was the point of whole war? You have created a Global Crisis OUT OF NOTHING” #cdnpoli

This!

Many of you are asking how you can help my work. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

We fight horrors, yes, by confronting ICE but you can't undo oppo lies without true sound of our own. We must amplify a full throated, honest story that immigrants are awesome. Not for how "they" serve "us" economically but for how in solidarity we make this country look/sound/be better.

What can the Star Wars show “Andor” teach us about standing up to tyranny? A lot. (May the Fourth be with you.)

Union soldiers died to end slavery. Marchers died to secure the vote. The Roberts Court decided their sacrifice didn’t matter.

In the last 24 hours I have given donations _directly_ to 3 democratic candidates who have spoken out directly on the corruption and lies of this administration and talked about solutions without allowing the opposition or the press to frame the issue. No donations to committees, PACs or leadership

Sorry, now, what? Cancelling an election underway? Now is it time to admit what's been true all along and realize it's speak now or forever hold our peace?

Excellent question. Perfect answer.

AOC tells PabloReports that the reinstatement of the agent who shot Renee Good is a reminder of why Democrats should not give ICE and CBP a dime. AOC: Every single person that that man encounters is in just as grave danger as she was in.

Jon Ossoff with a TRUTH about who it is Republicans represent.

Mayor Rex Richardson on Xavier Becerra @xavierbecerra.bsky.social “He has the character and values we need to move all of California forward. Not just some. All of our working families.” That’s why he’s backing him. California deserves leadership that shows up for everyone. #BecerraEra #SheShed

This is a new low in the use of the shadow docket. The Court blocked a lower court ruling on the so called "interim docket" (as conservatives call it). Then, quietly issued a final judgement without allowing us to even brief the merits appeal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Alabama ranks at or near the bottom in the country for infant and maternal health. This clinic expanded to address the problem and also announced they're working with incarcerated moms. My latest for @al.com. www.al.com/news/2026/04...

Did you clock the scene after the debate, while the cameras were still rolling? Why are Steyer and Bianco so damn cozy, like besties?

Assemblymember @loridwilson.bsky.social and I share a commitment to kindness, dignity, and respect—and to confronting the challenges Californians face, from affordability to transportation. I’m grateful for her support and ready to keep delivering results for California.

Here is the Democrat running against him. Time to chip in.

I don’t want NYC to become a museum. It should be a living, breathing testament to the working people of our city.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."

Californians deserve someone who knows how to fight and deliver. Not just inflated promises.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

I have to admit I was already aged out of watching SpongeBob SquarePants when this episode originally aired. But my younger colleagues told me to watch this clip.
