Say what????
In a WIN for reproductive rights, Governor Pritzker has signed bill HB 3709 into law. This new law will require all public universities to offer both contraception & abortion meds if the schools have an on campus pharmacy. This law is intended to make these meds more accessible. #Pinks
"Public health will never look the same. But this isnโt just a story about science... ...every woman watching knows what Moneraz risked & why it matters. If one woman at the top of the CDC can hold her ground vs a president trying to tear down science, every one of us can hold our ground too"
His book "On Tyranny" is terrific and offers coherent, concise options to resist.
Trump isn't most of us!
Today we monitored ICE flights in support of legal partners who worked tirelessly to stop the unlawful deportation of unaccompanied children to Guatemala. Thanks to their monumental efforts, the planes never took off
Encourage him to tell others. I do believe many who have limited access to real news were deceived about many things leading up to the election. Welcome them back to sanity.
As a member of the AFGE, I can say from personal experience that union representation helps protect workers from illegal and unethical management decisions. This decision will be appealed, but this is a bad sign.
Sad news. We lost our fight to retain collective bargaining for federal employees. What's upsetting is that many federal employees voted for this, knowing he went after us during his 1st term. #ProudBlue #USDemocracy #ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Why does anyone doubt that the agenda is that of Putin?? Weakening the West and America in particular is Putin's dream.
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I donโt believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
Outrageous. FEMA staff warned that disaster response has been guttedโand instead of fixing it, they were suspended. Retaliating against civil servants for telling the truth puts Americans at risk.
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.๐ The force of democracy must be with us!!!๐ฅณ

President Donald Trump's former "fixer" filleted the president's handling of the U.S. economy in a new essay published in Sunday.
The press needs to call RFK on this and every single cut, and demand accountability. Congress needs to rein in the executive branch cutting programs. This is all nonsensical madness.
Support for novel pediatric cancer therapies is cut. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium focuses on testing the efficacy of novel treatments. It was established in 1999 by the National Cancer Institute, part of the NIH. We wont know what potential is lost. ๐งช ๐ ๐ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

People are DEAD because of Trump. A lot of people know that Trump belongs in prison, myself included. But there's a reason why people were executed for treason. It's because they knew traitors could still direct their minions from prison. #Discover #๐ฐNews #EduSky๐ www.yahoo.com/news/article...

No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, itโs not criminals theyโre targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
If districts are gerrymandered by racial identity, they are vulnerable. If they just focus on party, they can get away with it. So it sounds like, no surprise, they are arrogantly gerrymandering by race bc they think they can do whatever the hell they want.

Yeah I think that's a given ...
Just a reminder ...
For months, Trump and his thugs claimed they had no knowledge of Kilmar Abrego Garcia once they shipped him to El Salvador. But now claim they have located parents or guardians in Guatemala for the hundreds of children they are trying to deport. Rather miraculous. #DeportationBlock

After the hearing concluded, w/ DOJ's Drew Ensign allegedly clear of what Judge Sooknanan had ordered, DOJ failed to file its req'd 4p status report. Sooknanan orders DOJ to show cause why they failed to do soโand to file. She also orders plaintiffs to file a status report by 6:30p. (corrected)
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

Johnson said the executive order also makes clear that Chicago police are not to collaborate with National Guard members or ICE agents. The order also directs police to wear their official uniforms and not wear masks. #Pinks www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
This is really bad. Those animals can't cross their natural habitat with a wall there, and the numbers of people who go through that very wild area are small.

Corporate investors are snatching up failing farmland, rural properties & small housing everywhere, to then sell for development, charge high rents & crank up real estate prices. It's a racket that hurts average Americans and small farmers. We must do something to help protect our people.
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor ๐ณ

Yay! I don't eat meat anymore, but when I was in Georgia I got burger from White Oak Farms: local & (relatively) humane in that all animals spend their entire lives on that farm, AND it was the best tasting. (To preserve beans, boil 2-3 min, freeze on tray, then bag for later. Freeze tomatoes too.)
This is a real tweet from a Republican member of congress celebrating Americans losing health care and kids going hungry.

The most absurd thing I've ever heard of. Thank you for your service.
there isnโt a single democratic representative who would *prefer* having to make decisions about funding metro health care systems at the expense of rural health care systems; the decision to deeply cut the resources we have available was entirely and exclusively a republican choice
He's a dangerous kind of moron. Although the level of his ignorance is amazing, we can't underestimate the amount of harm he's capable of, and how he's already damaging the national health, preparedness and sustainability. It's frightening.

If cutting nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid and literally taking food from children's mouths by slashing SNAP were as popular as Mike Johnson claims, Trump wouldn't have begged Texas to enact an extreme, mid-decade gerrymander in an attempt to keep Republicans in control of the House
