Federal government is making an example of L.A. denying the people the right to peaceful protest. Facist authoritarianism on full display. What are we doing to stop this? Remove Trump now! @wyden.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

Never forget the current president of the USA was found guilty of:

1) rape

2) 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

and it bears repeating-rape. Yes, rape.

@aoc.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov Something we should be investigating, yes? Surely something shady going on there
Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

How many illegal acts will it take for us to remove the offending parties? Up them ALL in jail, defend the constitution! @vanhollen.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov
BREAKING: In a blockbuster revelation, Senator Van Hollen reveals the Trump Administration has promised to pay El Salvador $15 million, over double previous estimates, “to detain these prisoners, including the illegally abducted Kilmore.” This is illegal to do without Congress.

I had a nazi comment. But we all know. We know.
This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.

Trump is a Nazi. Put him in jail!
Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

Add it to your calendars! Look for your local protest on 4/19!! Most people who don’t protest just didn’t get an invite, invite your friends.
Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Especially when it’s actually caused by said president.
What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

My god! Someone remove these people from office. Ugh
Oh my god. At the exact moment Trump announced his tariffs the market crashed in real time.

CNBC is SAVAGE for doing the side by side.

@aoc.bsky.social @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov some thoughts to usher in some consequences for bad behavior
Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov here’s an idea, a way to officially log all the illegal and unconstitutional actions.
Each Monday House Democrats should introduce a bill with five bullet points of Trump actions the prior week for which he should be impeached.
March 22, 2025 at 11:33 PM
And there’s another illegal/unconstitutional act. When do we throw out The Felon and all his cronies? Impeachment and actual jail! When will some consequences set in? We need to make some happen! @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov

We are living in very dangerous, unusual times.

Today, the White House ignored a ruling by a Federal District Court because we have President who is an ignorant buffoon with no respect for the law or the Constitution.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!
March 17, 2025 at 12:38 AM
So now The Felon has defied a court order. At what point do consequences kick in? When does a system remove someone who is abusing power? Who do we call upon here? @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov

March 14, 2025 at 7:07 PM
@schumer.senate.gov vote no! They’re going to destroy us out here in the real world. Stop helping, or just resign and let someone reasonable take your place. Or I suppose you could be honest with everyone and wear a MAGA hat

Donald Trump said he'd abolish the Department of Education, and that's exactly what he's doing.

If you send your kids to public school, Trump is sending you a clear message: he doesn’t care about you.
Education Department to Fire 1,300 Workers, Gutting Its Staff
The layoffs mean that the department will now have a work force of about half the size it did when President Trump took office.
