On April 18, the Old North Church—where two lanterns once sparked the American revolution—will ring its bells for democracy.
I hope houses of worship across the country will join them in this nationwide call to protect our freedom.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

White privilege is firing a bunch of FAA officials because REASONS, forcing the FAA Director to resign, freezing all hiring of air traffic controllers, and then having planes crash and drop out of the sky in a span of TWO FUCKING DAYS and getting to KEEP YOUR JOB.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.
See how it works?

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them
