Vive la résistance!
Trump said he was going to do tarrifs at this level. So many didn't believe it, that threats alone would serve his purpose and voted for him anyway. At Trump rallies, he often tells the story of the snake. He's been the snake all along...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

A second plane has gone down in 3 days. Seems like things were safer when DEI was still in place.

Scoop: As Fox News has blasted D.E.I. on air, in job listings it professed to be "deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion." When I asked Fox about its on-air rhetoric being at odds with its stated goals, the network scrubbed the D.E.I. language from its site. link.status.news/42zAKHI

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI.

Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis.

Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight.

Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

On the eve of Germany’s invasion of Russia, Himmler convened a conference at Wewelsburg castle to instruct subordinates to destroy all records of Russian sciences and arts to leave survivors no memory of the world before.

If you’re not part of the resistance, you’re part of the problem. And stay out of the way of the people that actually care about this country and the human beings in it.

Do any of you have an address where I can send Pete Hegseth a bottle of champagne to congratulate him on his confirmation?

Thanks in advance.

I’m buying my groceries exclusively from Costco now, by the way. I might end up with more food than I need, but my values aren’t compromised.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

The bishop who went viral yesterday reminded me that Americans will always stand up to power, even if the media and billionaire class are afraid to.

It gave me hope.

Some of us have been warning about this and calling for anti-SLAPP laws (both federal and state) for years and years and years. And I'm not stopping now.

Defamation law has been so widely abused to chill speech and so few people know it.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.
