A federal judge in D.C. just ruled that the Trump administration overstepped its authority by dismantling the U.S. Institute of Peace an independent, congressionally chartered nonprofit. Huge thanks to U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell for upholding the law.

Getting creative! πŸ˜‰ Hundreds of billboards are rising in 40 U.S. cities, bashing staff and service cuts at national parks under DOGE.

Trump’s executive order is a major step backward for civil rights in America. Let’s break it down: it eliminates a key protection called β€œdisparate impact,” which has been used for decades to fight discrimination in schools, housing, and other areas.

Count the Dead by the Millions From HIV and tuberculosis infections to millions of dead children, the deadly impact of Rubio, Musk and Trump’s agenda has been quantified.

β€œA new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world β€” and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.”

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil GutiΓ©rrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about β€œcriminals”.

It’s about racism.

It’s about state terror.

It’s about dehumanization.

Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

Due to the constant online attacks from Trump and Elon, 67 judges are now receiving enhanced security because of their involvement in high-profile cases. Threats against judges have already led to criminal charges against nearly 50 individuals.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services.

This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage.

Keep up the fight.

The GOP is starting to feel the pressure. Even in very red states and districts, Republicans are facing more constituent questions on the impacts of the Trump-Musk coup.

We need to keep this momentum going. There’s another congressional recess next week β€” let’s get to work: indivisible.org/muskorus

Trump thrives on creating havoc & chaos so that the American is forced to have a goldfish memory.

So let Rachel Maddow remind you that Republicans had the ABSOLUTE ability to stop Trump's tariffs from going into effect.

They πŸ‘πŸΌ chose πŸ‘πŸΌ to πŸ‘πŸΌ change πŸ‘πŸΌ time πŸ‘πŸΌ instead. πŸ‘πŸΌ

Sometimes you just have to askβ€”why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."
