The resistance is active in DC—you’re just not looking closely enough It's not massive protests on Pennsylvania Avenue, but happenstance hecklers and Nextdoor posts.

On Thursday, Politico published a piece titled, “Why Washington Residents Aren’t Flooding the Streets to Protest Trump."

While it accurately reports that there hasn’t been anything close to a modern-day March on Washington, it misses the critical work being done by everyday locals.

How Black Americans can fight Trump's plot to capture a generation of minds “The Trump administration has tried to seduce Black Americans to fall into the trap and illusion of Black capitalism.”

Cutting funding to PBS. Partnering with PragerU, a program that denies the existence of racism in policing. Accusing the Smithsonian of being "too woke" and overemphasizing slavery.

Trump is waging a battle on public education, and he's following a playbook that's centuries in the making.

Yesterday, I visited the Portland ICE facility. Our communities deserve transparency, due process, and to know what’s happening beyond ICE walls. I will continue these oversight visits for every single Oregonian who demands answers.

Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

And now, an executive order that calls for the involuntary institutionalization of the homeless and mentally ill without due process or clear release criteria. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

You helped with the orchestration of these horrific camps the minute you proudly voted for the Laken Riley Act that stripped immigrants of due process rights.

Whatever happens from here on out is on you too.

'Buy now, pay later' purchases can now affect your credit score. Here's what that means Services that split up payments into installments are increasingly popular, especially among young and low-to-middle income shoppers. But now the FICO credit scoring company will be tracking that debt.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Probably didn’t help that the org leading the SMFA coalition laid off 1/2 their staff with no warning in May & where there could have been more of a push for outreach there wasn’t. This session was so frustrating on so many levels.

School Meals For All didn’t pass at the legislature?? Giving all kids in Oregon free lunches??

What the hell is going on at the State Legislature lmfao

we need some reporters to really get in there because this shit is nuts

The Trump admin keeps detaining and prosecuting elected officials who get in his way A timeline of authoritarianism.

Judge Hannah Dugan, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Sen. Alex Padilla, and now Brad Lander.

The Trump administration keeps detaining and prosecuting elected officials who get in its way.

This is the timeline of authoritarianism.

I am tracking every single thing happening at ICE and watching all the footage, I will also be there in person.

I am also working with people to be as strategic as possible to protect my community. I will not seek impulsive statements or solutions.

If I am quiet, it is not for lack of action.

If you got gassed 2day.
Remember that all your clothes are covered in tear gas dust. Take off your clothes when you come home. Try to keep your dog from snorfing it. When you shower it will sting again. Let it rinse off before you wash tender areas.

Repeated tear gas, flash bangs, and less lethal munitions at ICE facility in South Portland. The protesting crowds scatter and then return with homemade shields.

Recent Portland Police Actions at ICE Facility Test the Limits of Sanctuary Laws ICE arrested two more asylum seekers at Portland’s immigration courthouse on Tuesday, amid protests that have continued to escalate in front of the ICE facility on Macadam Avenue. On Tuesday night, fe...

Demonstrations at the ICE facility, which the Portland Police Bureau has responded to multiple nights this week, have reignited questions about the role of local police in immigration enforcement, and what constitutes a peaceful protest.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

How to Defend Immigrants Against the Most Common ICE Tactics These “know your rights” videos have crucial, easy-to-understand information.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights.

Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

House votes to kill funding for public media The U.S. House voted Thursday on a rescission bill to claw back money for foreign aid programs, along with the next two years of funding for the public media system. The measure now goes to the Senate.

The House narrowly approved legislation Thursday to eliminate the next two years of federal funding for public media outlets.

The measure passed 214 to 212, with two Republican lawmakers switching their votes from "no" to "yes" to push it over the finish line.

Greetings! I’m at the DoubleTree Hotel in Whittier, CA (in Los Angeles county). Protesters against federal detention raids say that officials have been staying here though I have not independently confirmed. Hundreds outside, chanting “kick them out.”

It is EXTREMELY loud.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."

The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr. is purging the experts who keep us safe. This isn’t reform—it’s an assault on public health. I founded the Democratic Doctors Caucus to fight exactly this anti-science agenda.

WASHINGTON (AP) — US regulators say annual COVID-19 shots for healthy younger adults and children will no longer be routinely approved.

Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

ICYMI: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

The Trump Administration Is Going After Your Grandma When older adults lose access to vital services, their entire families face the consequences.

When older adults lose access to vital services, the ripple effects are vast. The Trump admin is trying to do just that.

Here's why young people should care: www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

6. Travel with a secondary phone You also can travel with an inexpensive and relatively anonymous secondary device or burner phone, one without your contacts, photos and revealing texts. But be aware that having a device with barely any content on it could raise alarm bells.

AARP is telling people to maybe travel with a burner phone. Welcome to the rebellion
