RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.

Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.
RFK Jr. says there aren't autistic poets. We asked an autistic poet.
"I will challenge RFK Jr. to write a poem as good as me any day of the week."

Now that Trump is making it clear that anyone can be deported to an El Salvadorian prison, I suspect we may have a massive food crisis this Summer. Migrant workers want to work, but are they going to risk being sent to a death camp? Food will either rot on the vine or become insanely expensive.🙄

HAPPENING NOW

Nearly 25% of Mike Johnson’s constituents receive Medicaid

But he STILL wants to cut the program

By $880 BILLION

To fund more tax breaks for billionaires-like Elon Musk

It’s obscene

The vote on this is planned for TODAY

Don’t
Cut
Our
Medicaid

CALL CONGRESS. NOW.

Terrible news: MSNBC is cancelling my friend Joy Reid's show. It's reportedly part of a shake up at MSNBC. She is a unique, powerful voice who has always taken the fight to those in power. But big corporate media outlets like Comcast never likes that. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

The CFPB put $19.7B back into the pockets of families who were cheated by financial predators.

Let’s be honest: the only reason Trump and Musk would shut down America’s consumer watchdog is because they are corrupt—and they don’t like when anybody stops them from being corrupt.

🧵 THREAD

So a number of America’s 93 U.S. Attorneys — top federal prosecutors in districts around the country — have been notified they are being terminated.

In Trump 1.0, then-AG Jeff Sessions asked Obama-appointed U.S. Attorneys to resign.

In Trump 2.0, terminations are coming from White House.

New York

Being sued by trump administration

They don't like our Green Light Law

We protect people who come from dangerous countries for a better life

To protect their children from gangs and drugs

They want to destroy lives for people who don't look like them or sound like them.
nyclu.org NYCLU @nyclu.org · Feb 12
1/ Tonight, the Trump admin announced it is suing New York and state officials over New York immigration law, like our Green Light Law.

This is yet another attempt by Trump to weaponize the DOJ to intimidate those he disagrees with.

Speaking of coffee:
On Feb. 1, 1960, four black students sat down at a "white only" lunch counter of a Woolworth’s in North Carolina. It was a simple and courageous act that changed history.
