Only 14 Dems. Please stop thinking the people of the Democratic party give a shit.
Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.

Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.

We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

We witnessed things like RICO charges being levied at protesters fighting cop city in ATL, mask bans that lock disabled ppl out of public life, students facing federal charges for peaceful protests, all under Democratic leadership. I wrote about how Dems set the stage for Trump's attacks on speech
The attacks on free speech should terrify us all
+ Pipe Rock Theory, Beta babies, the toy collectible boom, re-buttonification, a Portnoy memoir, and Ye Squad vs the Bruzz House

It's very fitting that at the same time that Trump is cutting vital programs like cancer research, he is wasting money on golf trips.

The "waste," as always, is himself.

US taxpayers have shelled out tens of millions of dollars for Trump’s golf trips
The president, who derided Barack Obama for golfing while in office, even makes money off his Mar-a-Lago weekends

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social bragging about how his son is a giant fan of Charlie Kirk screams parenting failure. Why would you be proud that your son idolizes a right wing conspiracy theorist?!

Dear Everyone:

Stop yelling at marginalized people being harmed by *gestures at the US government* about what they should have done or should be doing.

Start yelling at the leaders and elected officials whose job it is to protect everyone.

Sincerely,

Senate Democrats have the ability to control how fast nominations move by denying unanimous and increasing the number of votes required.

It's interesting to see how often they have done that. 🧵

Ethnic cleansing and genocide is not a setup for you to dunk on Arab voters, and if you think it is, you’re closer to Trump than you think you are.
This should go over well with all those Dearborn Trump voters who couldn’t vote for Harris because of the war on Gaza.

Now with President Elon having basically all of our data- DO NOT GET YOUR PHOTO TAKEN AT TSA. You are allowed to tell the TSA agent that you do not want your photo taken. They still have to see your whole face if you mask but again, DO NOT CONSENT TO HAVING YOUR PHOTO TAKEN. #TravelTips

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Solidarity is not transactional.

If you're supporting someone's human rights only out of the expectation they'll do the same, you don't understand solidarity.

Everyone deserves human rights. Everyone, everywhere.

And no one is free until we all have them.

I don’t have to be a parent or teacher to know that eliminating the Dept of Education is a VERY bad idea. Make no mistake, this is about forcing kids back into child labor- specifically kids that don’t come from families that can afford to send them to Christian private schools.

Do you officially become a New Englander when you’ve had enough of the snow? Moved here a year ago and this season it’s snowed 4 times already and it’s going to snow again this weekend.

RFK today said during his hearing that every abortion is a tragedy. Then he said that he serves at the pleasure of the President and that he’s going to implement his policies. This man is going to wreak havoc on everything healthcare related. #RFKJr

Please stop using "pro-life" to talk about forced birthers. If you support the death penalty, support war, support expanding incarceration and mass deportation, support taking away health care, support ramping up fossil fuels and support cutting SNAP, you are in a death cult.
