So, they won’t wear masks to save lives, but they will to destroy them?

Do we have that right?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

Apple and Google block apps that crowdsource ICE sightings. Some warn of chilling effects Apple and Google blocked downloads of phone apps that flag sightings of U.S. immigration agents, just hours after the Trump administration demanded that one particularly popular iPhone app be taken do...

Apple and Google think caving to authoritarian censorship is best for their bottom line. It’s on us to show these cowards that there’s a price to sacrificing our First Amendment rights at the altar of corporate profit.

Chicago alderwoman arrested by ICE agents while checking on detainee at hospital in Humboldt Park A Chicago alderwoman was arrested by ICE agents on Friday afternoon inside a hospital in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.

If a high-ranking elected official can be detained in broad daylight, no one is immune from this regime’s authoritarian overreach.

Let’s stand together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption β€” and remind Trump and his enablers that there are NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Meredith Lee Hill on Twitter: β€œSpeaker Johnson's leadership team has said privately they will swear in Grijalva right before first votes when House returns

But they're still deciding whether to bring back the House at all next week amid the shutdown

They were admittedly over-confident after 3 Senate Dems initially voted for the CR - expecting Thune would pick up more this week

He did not. It just failed again β€” with the shutdown dragging into next week.”

Republicans fully expected them to cave, but Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.

Thank you to everyone who is taking action and encouraging your Dem senators to keep fighting to safeguard healthcare for millions. Let’s keep it going: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Republicans have shut down the government to take healthcare away from millions of Americans and give Trump a blank check for his illegal power grab.

Stop the Trump Shutdown

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/mgvDCq1N

A little about Kat: She’s fought for years pushing back against corporate overreach as both a union rep and independent journalist. Now, she’s running for Congress with that same energy. Unlike other candidates Kat’s showing up to talk with us, not at us. Come be part of the conversation.

(above an image of Capitol Hill) We're in a government shutdown because Republicans demand a budget that kicks millions off their healthcare and jacks up prices for the rest of us.

And the GOP is willing to hold government funding hostage until Trump gets his way.
