After enacting the largest SNAP cuts in history, Trump is now scrapping the federal government's annual report on hunger in America.

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel.
Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow.
Never doubt the power of collective action.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp
As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted:

Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

WOW. The Trump admin is attempting to strip a green card from a Buddhist Palestinian who's committed to nonviolence, just because he advocated on behalf of Palestinian human rights.
Free speech is being trampled on by this administration.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who:

–was Columbia Buddhist club president
–saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier
–said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation.
It’s an essential step in the process.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.
As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.
They can't keep spewing carbon.
They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.
They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.
I am glad that Senators are grilling DNI Gabbard and CIA Director Ratcliffe today.
Today should be the start of a 4-year drum beat on Trump's team putting US troops in jeopardy by sharing operational war plans with a reporter before undertaking the operation.
Too much is not enough.

The Failures of “Centrism”
By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Watch.
