Passionate about voting rights, democracy, & our duty to protect it. Use your power to make positive change & never give up. The fight has just begun. Pace yourself.

Fascists want you to feel scared, lose hope, & feel powerless. But we can't fall for that. They want to trick us into thinking they've already won, & that there's no point in fighting back. It's not true. standing up against them is important & can make a difference. Don't give up!

The White House called a lid, meaning that Trump isn’t expected to be seen or heard from for the rest of the evening.

Cool, cool. Not like the American people need to hear from POTUS while we’re tweeting our way into a war, or anything.

Th judge should absolutely hammer the administration for this response.

DOJ attorneys stonewalled the entire hearing today, telling her they had “no info” on all of her questions.

Judge demands daily updates on the status of this case.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov,

So help me God, You f'ing better have your people IN UNISON in voting, "NO" on this preposterous SAVE Act.

The 4 House members who went, "yes", are no better than the vermin in the GOP, therefore just cut their futures way short.

Get it together Chuck. No more betrayals.

This is a tyrannical claim. It’s the kind of claim that sparked the revolution.
Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Instead of complaining about the lack of an aggressive and relentless Democratic message ...

... doing my part to aggressively and relentlessly push a Democratic message in hopes someone with a bigger megaphone sees it, takes it, and spreads it further and wider.
Trump II: Screwing you, enriching billionaires, betraying America

• Slashing consumer protection, healthcare, and education
• Corruptly turning your private data over to Musk
• Imposing job-killing, price-hiking tariffs
• Pushing tax breaks for billionaires
• Pardoning violent criminals

the notion of “inherent power” is anti-republican in the lower-case r sense. runs totally counter to the notion of a divided government of enumerated powers

No one is coming to save us. Americans need basic training on how to save our country from authoritarianism.

This is why you should start protesting now, says Andrea Pitzer, who has studied global authoritarianism.

The #TeslaTakedown is a great way to start.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

The CR debate is over. It's time to move on.

We need to focus on our common task, on the urgent task:

Fighting Trump and his assault on the rule of law; resisting the cruelty and indecency of Trumpism; thwarting the plot to replace liberal democracy with autocracy.
