Please take measles seriously. The Trump Regime's secret police are accelerating measles outbreaks as they kidnap and transport human beings around to play jurisdiction games with the courts.

This is just sick. His family knows. Voters didn’t listen & we are paying the price now. Miller maybe the worst of them all. But they all fall in line. They love their power because they have nothing else to show for. They are weak. And they know it.
I’m from Germany. I know exactly what he means.
Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

DOJ is Trump's personal law firm that we pay for. Free for him to use its unlimited resources to harass people like Lemon, Lisa Cook or Comey. We collectively pay the price both in our taxes and in losing a nonpartisan legal system. The individual victims must pay ruinous financial costs and stress.
This is about forcing Don Lemon to spend money and time defending himself.

"“They probably don’t have any expectation that this prosecution will stick," legal expert tells me. "But they do know they will put Don Lemon through the grinder in the meantime."

Dear Democrats
call for the impeachment of Pam Bondi.
SHE IS PERSECUTING our journalists
Instead, she should RELEASE the EPSTEIN files.
And please inform us what’s going on with Georgia votes.

Stand up for our rights, we need you:

Anyone who thought they would not try to manipulate the elections has not listened. GOP Congress people are sticking to the president bc. they assume this. Until they are no longer protected by the lies.
That time is now: We, the people, must stop them.
Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding:

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social who is covering the growing Christian nationalism … and the Cristian resistance, together with interfaith coalitions? MSNow should interview Cardinal Tobin. He came out with a much needed statement for Catholics to say “No” to the inhumanity of ICE.

Cardinal Tobin is also the Archbishop of Newark, one of the larger American archdioceses
Cardinal Tobin regarding ICE funding: "I think if we are serious about putting our faith in action, we need to say 'no,' each one of us. What saying ‘no’ looks like today is by telling the truth about what is happening and honoring those whose lives are upended.” www.ncronline.org/news/cardina...

Ein Schusswechsel ist, wenn 2 Seiten aufeinander schießen. Das war nicht der Fall. Nicht einmal Trumps Agenten haben das behauptet. Sorry, aber solche Fehler dürfen Medienprofis nicht passieren. Europa hat keinen Grund, sich in den US-Autoritarismus mitziehen zu lassen. Das hier ist Medienversagen.

“It is not legal to attack a city because its policies work. It is not legal to threaten a state to gain information about its voters.
The border becomes the pretext to undo the law everywhere, at all times, and against anyone.”

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:

"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
