The crazy thing about humans is this:

We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth.

The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first.

That’s it.

The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice.

Greed is holding us back.

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

The constitutional crisis is here.

The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear.
He wants everyone to be afraid at all times.
He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate.
So he sows fear and panic.

So, the President of the United States can now order the DOJ to investigate anyone who disagrees with and speaks out against him.

Classic Weaponization of the DOJ.

Did I get that right?

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech.

The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
