Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

From Gavin Newsom:
“Mike Johnson would hate for you to know that 40% of his district are on Medicaid! 1.6 million people from Louisianans or 35% rely on it!

It would be terrible if it went viral!”

Some of them are the insurrectionists from January 6th, who were pardoned! Others are from right wing extremist groups such as are the “Proud Boys,” the Three Precenters or the “Oath Keepers.” Much like the brown shirts under Hitler.

When we allow anonymous thugs to have the power of federal law enforcement we will never be safe from violence and intimidation. We will never be free

If you are kidnapping your citizens with no due process to take away their freedom and trying to silence media, law firms, and universities for exercising free speech, you don't get to call yourself "Leader of the Free World."

I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show.

It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

AOC files articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on the floor the justices' refusal to recuse themselves from certain prominent cases “represents an abuse of power and threat to our democracy."

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸

Pass it on!

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Every dictatorship in history depends on unaccountable police power. Saddam had the Mukhabarat. The Nazis had the SS. The Soviets had the NKVD/KGB. Their defining trait wasn’t just brutality. It was anonymity. The masked man is not a myth. He is the warning sign of the police state... Rick Wilson

Brad Lander—comptroller, mayoral candidate—was handcuffed by masked ICE agents in a courthouse simply for asking to see a warrant as he defended an immigrant. This is authoritarian intimidation, a dangerous abuse of power weeks before a crucial election.

If you're at a No Kings protest today, stay fired up—but stay alert. The MN assassination shows the threat is real. Be smart. Be aware. Protect each other. Film everything. Authoritarianism doesn't just lie—it kills. No Kings. Not now. Not ever.

I have no confidence in Elon following through the way he did to help Trump's election.

This man gleefully slashed services vital to millions of Americans, single-handedly made air travel exponentially more dangerous, and compromised the security of every American's data.

He's also a nazi.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally.

MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.
