That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

This is how to respond to the Abrego Garcia issue! Thank you, Mayor Pete!
The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion
Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion
Now he’s down to $150 billion
And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services
This clown will cut $58 billion
Maybe

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
