We have 50501 organizers on the ground right now, and they just got confirmation a bus with more detainees is coming. They also just overheard the cops on site say they have a minor in the car, so one of the detainees may be under 18. Will send more updates as we get them.

Please help boost this!
🚨 URGENT: CHICAGO ORGANIZER DETAINED BY ICE, SHOW UP NOW!!! 🚨

1/2: We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump admin in an attempt to justify the use of military force.

Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.

RIP to my Rep Grijalva. He was a fine man and a fine Representative.
I’m devastated to hear of the passing of my colleague Raul Grijalva. He was a fighter for Arizonans and a champion for Indigenous communities and our planet. We will all miss him dearly. My thoughts are with his family, friends, loved ones, and constituents.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

One of my favorite indicators of Tucson spring! Mr. T woke up! He’s our 50-some year old Desert Tortoise and has been sleeping since late October. He’s groggy now, but in no time he will be romancing my rocking chair and demanding treats. #deserttortoise #reptile #desertdweller #tucson #arizona

Is Doge Taking Credit for President Carter's Death?: An Investigative Report by a data junkie with too much time on his hands 1/6
UPDATE: It’s 6:30 pm ET on Monday, February 17 and DOGE has updated the “Savings” page on its site.

The site’s “Wall of Receipts” includes a “subset” of contract and lease cancellations.

(I guess they meant to say “some receipts coming over the long weekend.”)

200+ protesters @ Tesla in Tucson this morning. The honking as cars drove by was almost constant. My inner 5-year old was most delighted by the big hauler truck that laid on the BIG horn ALL the way through the intersection #teslaprotests #endoligarchy #dumpdoge @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org
