Keep the sequence of events clear in your mind:

ICE was preparing to snatch day laborers from a Home Depot in order to meet deportation quotas set by Trump.

Community members protested.

ICE responded with flash-bangs and tear gas.

ICE started it and ICE escalated it. Period. #LosAngeles

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

Saying “African Americans respond differently to vaccines” follows the same sentiment as “African Americans feel less pain.” It is racist, unsupported by any credible evidence, and endangers the lives of millions of Americans. Please. Call you senators.

Never forget that in 14 days, multiple federal agencies have been dismantled, and our systems of healthcare, education, environment, civil rights, and technology have all been dramatically overhauled. But we still have to worry about our kids being shot in school because of “the constitution.”

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.

Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

The federal judge that temporarily halted the birthright citizenship recision EO is a Reagan appointee. This is not a partisan decision. As I said the other day, it’s basic constitutional knowledge. In the judge’s words:

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

And that's it. The erosion of free speech blatantly on display. The "threat to national security" is the ability of The People to organize, discuss, and learn about one another.
