Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva won her election two weeks ago. Republicans refuse to seat her in Congress.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Authoritarianism.

Is that term just too many letters for people

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Life is tough in a lot of places right now, so here are some little kids enthusiastically yanking weeds in what will become our school's new native plant garden. Find joy, find hope, BE hope.

What if the problem— just hear me out—what if it’s not a failure to listen to each other? What if, stay with me now, what if we HAVE listened, and we’ve heard lies and nonsense and frankly scary proposals (coupled with scary actions), and get this, hold on, we just fundamentally disagree?

I think we should establish an understanding in the United States that if you order the military to carry out a lethal strike against something that is not an imminent threat without congressional authorization, what you did was murder and the entire chain of command is guilty.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit.
1) Plaintiff is natural born.
2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants.
3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property.
4) He showed Real ID both times.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

Our cities aren’t war ravaged. They’re ICE ravaged.

"Mountain West Politico" tweets, sarcastically, about "median political discourse about Virginia on Twitter" being Abigail Spanberger talking about improving public education/lowering the cost of living while Winsome Earle-Sears rants about "THERE ARE TRANS KIDS RECEIVING ABORTIONS IN THE FAIRFAX COUNTY LOCKER ROOM!!!!"

This sums up the 2025 Virginia governor's campaign really well. bluevirginia.us/2025/09/sund... h/t @coryfromtus

Trump says he is authorizing military to use ‘Full Force’ in Portland The president wrote on Truth Social that he is directing the Defense Department to send troops to Oregon.

When it became obvious that resistance in Chicago would be both strong and peaceful, Trump moved on to Portland, hoping he could provoke unrest and escalate his fascist crackdown.

If there’s an author you appreciate, one of the simplest, most helpful, least expensive things you can do for them is ask your public library to add that author’s newest book to their collection.

Many library websites have a form for that. So give it a try, and make an author’s day!

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵

Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

A student had a medical emergency at school this week, and had to take an ambulance to the local hospital. Found out the reason the AP accompanied her instead of mom is because ICE captured dad last month, and mom is terrified she'll be next if she shows up in a place with Authorities. 🤬

From LA to Chicago, the feds continue their horrid practice of aiming high and directly at press. When these agencies get to uncritically claim that videotaping is violence, this is the outcome: reporters getting hit in the face with “less lethals.” Unconscionable.
