This is kidnapping.
Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.

They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

Please remember that state legislatures are important. Republicans got their majorities in Congress by getting majorities in state legislatures/assemblies then gerrymandering districts so that only Republicans could be elected because Democrat

Congress voted to claw back federal funding to public media. Some of those hit hardest include community radio stations in areas that voted for the president.
Cuts to public media will smash budgets of some local radio stations

I don’t know about you, but anytime I see a famous person say that “the Epstein list is a distraction” or that “it doesn’t exist” my first thought is that they or one of their friends is on the list.

... People feel helpless. There is a wellspring of untapped energy; people who desperately want to *do something,* and want others to *do something.* Where are our leaders? Our strategists? Autocracy experts, organizers? A grand coalition?

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.

They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.

In my personal & professional life, when everything is overwhelming I look for a place to anchor in and make progress.

As a country, we need to anchor in where we can to fight facism. We have too many battles..how do we unite, agree, and make tangible progress?

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

Welcome to the USA of 2025, where condemning genocide is deemed antisemitism and can get you deported, but building concentration camps and calling bankers ‘Shylocks’ doesn’t get condemned by the news media at all.
