The Laken Riley Act requires ICE detain undocumented immigrants suspected of MINOR theft, even w/out formal charges. And sets no time limit on how long they can be held without being charged, potentially leading to indefinite detention.

Please call & email your representative to demand they vote NO

Musk laid the gauntlet down when He “heil Hitler”ed not once but twice. Nazi
There is no doubt in my minds eye, that Musk gave the Heil Hitler salute tonight.

I will fight like hell against this nightmare, and our new reality with you my resistance family!

but, for now, I’m profoundly sad, and I will call it a night. Sleep well, tomorrow we RESIST! 🤬

If you want to see the opposite of “obeying in advance,” here it is. Remarkable bravery by Reverend Budde.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Important to stay even-keeled, and I'm trying.He already has made some significant blunders, esp birthright citizenship. But it's the Tarrio commutation, if true,that makes you want to puke. I cannot think of a remotely similar betrayal of country by a sitting President. @hcrichardson.bsky.social ?

Oligarch president Donald Trump is trying to subvert OUR Constitution

He gave oligarchs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy the power to slash OUR government services

At his inauguration was oligarch Shou Zi Chew-whose social media platform was deemed a threat to OUR national security

Good job, fact checkers!
The Executive Orders rolling out today were part of Project 2025, the part that was never made public, overseen by Russ Vought.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

I’m not gonna lie: when I watched Kamala Harris compose herself, and uphold the dignity of her office and the sanctity of her responsibility while presiding over the certification today, it really fucking hurt me.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.

And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.

Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?
Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.

The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more

Now those rules are gone.

56 years ago today, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black woman in Congress. As a fellow Black Congresswoman and her Soror, I’m proud to carry on her legacy.
 
Honoring her work will be difficult in the next four years, but meaningful work is never easy.

ICE and CBP might not respect our rights, but they cannot take away our POWER. Use these resources to learn about your rights and express them in case you have an encounter with an immigration official.

CBS: One of the many things Trump said during his campaign was that he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. That did not happen.

MARCO RUBIO: The promise the president made really, if you look at it, is it's going to be official policy of the US that the war in Ukraine needs to come to an end
