"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..."

People should learn history. This country was built by an amazingly diverse people. Native Americans, Europeans, Africans , Asians, Mexicans and other Hispanics, etc. This is what makes us great. The whites have controlled wealth and power, and with Trump are trying to keep it.
Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader
Spot on.

And an enforceable code of ethics like lower courts abide by. A better system is necessary.
Good morning friends. I wish you a Happy Sunday! ☕️💙☀️
Phang: Holy crap. Think about that. Oh—did I just say “holy”? Well, it fits…
So, the church keeps its tax-exempt status while actively engaging in politics. Of course, this becomes a way to funnel money and circumvent campaign finance laws. Think about that.
Expect "election integrity" reform ahead of the 2026 elections and ramping up of manufactured "threats" by Trump and Republicans.
If you think they won't pull off "martial law" as a way of delaying and punting the election, well, you aren't paying attention, friends.
I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line “they increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”
As I wake with my white privilege, I know I can leave my home go out & not worry that some masked group of men with guns
will drag & beat me & carry me off
I am ashamed
I am so sorry Hardworking migrants living in fear
Not criminals
I Pledge to fight for you
Do everything I can
TO STOP ICE
Well I’ve got a checkmark now, so figured I’d re-introduce myself.
I’m Santiago Mayer, I’m 23 years old and the Executive Director of @votersoftomorrow.org. I have spent the last 7 years working to turn out Gen Z and stop MAGA, and I’m not stopping now.
Can you RT and follow to help reach others?
Are we clear yet that it’s a problem to have a pathological liar and malignant narcissist in a position of such power?
A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans:
If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping.
None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.
Don't know which is worse the blatant, chronic hypocrisy of the right, or the media's inability to report it, ever.
You’re an amazing ally. Please know I appreciate you. Here’s my other message for today.
It is all a distraction AND it's all part of the plan to create chaos and right-wing authoritarian rule.
DOn’t let what’s happening in L.A. discourage your participation.
Discouragement is the point of their escalation in L.A.
“No Kings” is needed more than ever.
Pay attention!!!
🚨 Slashing Medicaid would devastate families already fighting to afford basic health care. But Republicans aren’t concerned with that—they’re too busy padding the profits of their wealthy donors and corporate allies.
#SaveOurMedicaid
For horrid outcomes with no vaccine allowed, the government should be sued for allowing this untrained, mentally messed up person to be making decisions for people in the field of medicine.
It will be interesting to see if any countries boycott the 2026 Olympics in the U.S. due to the myriad human rights abuses currently being executed by The Regime.
In case you hadn't noticed:
The world stands with Ukraine. We reject Russia and its Trump regime puppet government in D.C.
As Trump’s poll numbers continue to crumble, he’s only going to get more dangerous. He’ll keep attacking our democracy, going after his political enemies, and targeting the courts. This is going to get worse before it gets better—but right now, we’re winning this fight, and he’s panicking.
Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.
