"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst

That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

A big win! A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just blocked the Trump administration’s push to move forward with massive layoffs. The court denied the government’s request to overturn a lower court ruling, meaning the layoffs can’t happen, for now.

VICTORY! New oil & gas projects can no longer be approved without assessing the climate impact of the fossil fuels they produce, incl. emissions from their eventual use.

Emissions can’t be hidden, downplayed or ignored when authorising new drilling & the public must be involved before any decision.

This is how it’s done!

FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets.

🚨 While working families are told there’s no $$$ for Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, or schools, Trump is spending nearly $100 million in taxpayer funds on a military parade to celebrate himself on June 14.

That’s why on June 14, we’re rising up to say NO KINGS. Find or join a protest: NoKings.org

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Share this! Horrifying!
A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant.

Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court.

Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene.

If they can do it to her, they can do it to you.

Speak out now!

House Republicans voted to overturn the CFPB's cap on excessive overdraft fees — which was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The House also struck down CFPB oversight over payment apps run by Big Tech companies.

The GOP is the party of letting you get ripped off.

I thought Jan. 6th was a deal breaker. I thought all of his moral shortcomings was a deal breaker. The constant lying would be a deal breaker. His ties to Russia was a deal breaker. I thought for sure him embracing nazism would be a deal breaker. Then I realized there are no deal breakers in a cult!

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else.

Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.
