Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
A mother is filing a $1 million claim after her 15-year-old son was held at gunpoint by immigration goons in Los Angeles.
Republicans worships a god they claim stepped in to save Trump, but couldn’t—or wouldn’t—intervene to save American schoolchildren. Take some time to process that.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Such a moron.
Science is real
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Pete Hegseth’s move to reinstall a Confederate statue is, at worst, a move to show that “he and the Trump administration are making common cause with apologists who believe that the wrong side won the Civil War,” Mike Nelson argues.
So gross.
Ways the weathy regulary defraud the government & avoid taxes. I'm sure there will be no consequences w this admin. Birds of a feather...
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
Jain: We have a U.S. Attorney’s Office that is also facing a vacancy crisis. And that is at least partially because the predecessor to the current U.S. Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, was Ed Martin. He fired more than 20 prosecutors whose only “crime” was prosecuting violent January 6 insurrectionists.
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Washington State cut Ice access to data systems used for immigration enforcement. Good.
Good.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Bye Felicia.
#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1963: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivers his “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington. One of the most iconic speeches in American history, it was inspired by legendary gospel singer Mahalia Jackson. /1
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
🚨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Here’s a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
They're trying to kill us. The Trump administration will pull the COVID vaccine off the market "within months," one of RFK Jr.’s closest associates said. “It could [happen] in a number of stages, including learning more about the data.” www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
Truth
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank

Science. Amazing! 💕
In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content
Trust me, many in the U.S. agree. 😟
The Diary of Anne Frank is among the hundreds of books banned in Florida this year. When I was in school, it was required reading. (Guardian)
The government is trying to use the immigration system to punish his client by “attempting to send him halfway across the world, to a country w documented #humanrights abuses where he doesnt even speak the language. apnews.com/article/abre...
This is just so important. This is what happened n the US. A well-funded anti-immigrant campaign, using fear, telling the public that migrants are criminals, led to Trump. Big money is behind this and the goal is to put the same cabal of tech oligarchs and oil cos in charge in the UK.

WTF? So sketchy. Good on Sharon for compiling this info on these sequestadores.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
"When you're the president, they let you do it."
NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.
I hope there are civil rights lawsuits for all the lives affected and suffering endured.
ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: “I’m going to go get your dad and I’m going to get your mom!” Is this the America we want to live in?
Hiding ugly, cowardly faces.
I think the World Cup should seriously reconsider having their event in the USA.

This tow truck driver is a true hero! He bravely took their vehicle while ICE GOONS were in the midst of kidnapping.
So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
Ruth Bader Ginsburgs early life & career. Great bio that shows how recently women had to fight just to be heard. A Netflix older selection but not to be missed.
Well, that was a whole lot of nothing.
