If the government isn't going to work for the people, why are the people still going to work to fund the government? And the billionaires? It's way past time for us to take back our power.

In my fifty years in politics, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before. I haven't always agreed with Jerome Powell, but what Donald Trump is doing is out of the dictator’s playbook. Kudos to Powell for speaking out.

As Trump ramps up his cruel deportation machine, it's more important than ever to know your rights if ICE comes to your door. Spread the word.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates. DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

Flashback Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.”

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior. Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.
