THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

An immigration judge within the Trump DOJ has denied bond to Rumeysa Ozturk, saying she’s a “danger and flight risk.”

Her “crime” is cowriting an op-ed urging her school to follow student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why.

What would you call that?
NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.

1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken.

A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Trump is conducting an authoritarian witch hunt against foreign students here legally, simply because they’ve engaged in free speech that his regime doesn’t like.

This is modern-day McCarthyism and an attack on the First Amendment. We must all stand up against it.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal has introduced an amendment to reverse Citizens United — which gave corporations "personhood," leading to a huge increase of corporate spending in US politics & decrease of the average American's influence.

Co-sponsored by 28 members.
No Republicans so far.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Farritor's father is speaking today at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It would be a shame if the faculty or the students or the public confronted him about his son's illegal techno-terrorism. Maybe he could lobby his son to switch sides and tell us what the hell is happening?
