Excellent idea! We have a battery operated one. We’ll take it with us when we protest next weekend.
A protester picks up a tear gas canister and throws it back at police. The rest of protesters attempt to fan the gas back at police
ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.
This seems like a good moment to share that my kitty loves meditation time. How are you grounding yourself in this chaos?
But they’re pro-life and pro-family, right? (Insert eye roll)

That is so messed up! 😂😂😭
•INSPIRING AMERICA• A man stood outside the courthouse of Judge Hannah Dugan and spoke of the horrors that befell his family in Poland and Germany at the hands of the Nazis during WWII — and how we must fight to stop and eradicate fascism in America NOW. “We know what fascism looks like…
RFK Jr’s comments over the past week have me feeling a certain kind of way 🤬 Add RFK Jr’s appointment of David Geier, and you have a real life nightmare. It’s so much worse than I think the majority of people can grasp. The best video I’ve found that explains in detail by @perezbrenna.bsky.social
Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
We protested in our town today. Smaller turnout than 2 weeks ago according to folks there (we were in the air on the 5th) but civic engagement and community support was strong. I heard protests every 2 weeks going forward. If so, we’ll be there!
Scaring 😂
Or that his resting heart rate is 62. No way Diet Coke, snorted Adderall and Big Macs has that resting heart rate.

After I divorced and removed my ex’a name as my second last name, I vowed never to change my name again. It was expensive and a big hassle. I really feel for all the women this is going to impact. We have to fight like hell.
Her body language when she said that she changed things and it’s not that hard was interesting. Note she adjusted her collar/scratched her neck and looked down. I’m not the expert on this, but I don’t think she buys her own bs.
They are trying…and making headway toward their goal every day…to squeeze every last breath out of the lungs of democracy. At that point, they plan to stomp on the lifeless corpse. You already know that, but sometimes it helps to see it in print. If we let it slip away…it’s gone forever.
PSA: There’s no long game to played. We’re in the end game. We’re not going to protect our country and most marginalized with bipartisan platitudes and half-measures. We need bold actions and policies that meet the scale and urgency of this moment.

Jon Stewart gives Chuck Schumer an eye-popping lesson in low approval ratings
They made it clear that the sign with different skin colors isn’t something “everyone believes” or some nonsense like that, so they would give her til the end of the school year to take it down. She’s going to make them say it out loud.
Keep up the good work!
State-sponsored kidnapping The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order. Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.
This is a mission everyone should be able to get behind. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been torn from their families. No effort must be spared to bring them home:https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/
The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.
Full-on fascism.
I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
Corgis are the absolute best!
Can’t wait to hear what the Supreme Court has to say about this one

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.
As seen in Valencia, Spain, for the Fallas festival. Spot on!
That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.
This f’n country. Y’all who votes “for the economy” (keep telling yourselves that) voted for this. Something tells me this story will upset a lot of people. Can’t qWhite put my finger on why.
If you think the goal/inflection point is the midterms…start listening to the people—journalists, historians, nat sec experts—who say we do not have that time.
If you are a Northern California person upset about Chuck Schumer’s @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, his book tour will be in Corte Madera at The Book Passage on 3/22 Thanks to @chriswarcraft.bsky.social for the alert, now we know where to visit him in NorCal too 👍🏼
Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.
If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...
Trump has already had death squads before, they had a practice run in Afghanistan during his first presidency. The majority of the US didn't care, now he's calling US citizens terrorists. It only takes a few signatures and complete media silence to know what comes next. #3E #EndImpunity
Not one single dollar. Not one vote. Primary their cowardly asses. And we need to take to the streets.
Aww. They’re holding hands! 😻
Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
Ah. The good old town hall
Georgia U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock say they plan to vote against the budget proposal. “I do not want to see a government shut down, but passing this legislation would cause pain to millions of Georgians," Warnock said.
This is the way…
📌NOTE: It's time to chuck, Schumer. New leadership NOW!
"When faced with two awful choices, pick the one that requires less courage." - The Art of Losing, by Chuck Schumer
Trump Takes MASSIVE NOSEDIVE as VOTERS RISE UP YouTube video by MeidasTouch www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1dr...
Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.
‘Rhythm’ has two h’s and no vowels. Just remember: Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move Rhythm is also a dancer and a soul’s companion.
There’s a big exhale in the Democratic Party right now. Everyone has been collectively holding their breath. And finally we get to exhale and say: Fuck Chuck Schumer.
Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.
Thou shalt fire Chuck Schumer.
America is *so* stupid.
Can you help me get 500 reposts on this post? I am going live on youtube on Friday. I am super pissed off what is happening in our party and want ro discuss Chuck Schumer and more with you. If you are not subscribed to my channel please consider doing so here: m.youtube.com/@adamparkhom...
Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.
@schiff.senate.gov is holding the line: hard pass on the CR. No capitulation to MAGA Republicans. Every Senate Dem must do the same. @schumer.senate.gov hear this: if you or any other Dem votes yes, we won’t forgive & we won’t forget. We will hold you accountable. #HoldTheLine

Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited. It was a closed door meeting and there’s been no announcement of outcome but with both Australia and Japan in attendance we seem to be seeing a new alliance forming.
Yep. Pretty much. It’s definitely on-brand for them.
Imagine if we protected children in school like we protect a car dealership.

Attended a research meeting today, and a researcher expressed concern that the study will be flagged because we made it possible for patients who only speak Spanish to enroll. I admittedly died a little bit inside. Hard to believe this current state is reality. #StandUpforScience

More men, especially cis white men, need to be standing up and calling out hatred and bigotry this way. Thank you, Rep. Keating.
This is very, very bad.
She’s insulted bc he’s testing her knowledge of economics. “Knowledge” is a stretch, darling.
