"The Democrats have no choice but to play by his new rules...obviously it's broken rules and I don't really think it's that hard of a call, unfortunately. I wish we weren't here, but that's just the reality." - @timodc.bsky.social

A reminder today of terrible things. But a reminder nonetheless and a lesson we oughta remember. Hate is not a guiding light. It burns us. It blinds us. And we must strive to do better.

🚨 Trump’s pushing to steal not just 5 but 8 seats in Texas.

The threats from Greg Abbott and Republicans in power are getting old. If they zip-tie and march Democrats into the State House, it will ignite a nationwide rallying cry.

CW: Sexual assault

In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

📽️ WATCH: Andry Omar Blanco Bonilla, one of the men Trump sent to CECOT, told our reporters he was beaten the moment the plane landed.

He says when he regained consciousness and saw the polished concrete floor, the bright lights, the men in uniform, he just asked God: What am I doing here? Why?

You’ve likely heard that the US Air Force will deny early retirement to all transgender service members with 15-18 years of military service. They’re being forced out with no retirement benefits!

The Pentagon says transgender people are medically unfit to serve.

Does this couple seem unfit to you?
