Abuses of government and military power to target and punish dissent are a tool of authoritarians. We must resist - not normalize - these abuses. (1/2)

Awww you guys - the Acting Director of ICE is really upset that we keep accurately refering them the American Gestapo and calling out their kidnappings. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

Ending the Job Corps program steals good jobs, financial stability, and housing from thousand of students, communities, and local economies. The Trump Administration must reversed course NOW.

This morning @ramirez.house.gov, @sarajacobs.house.gov, @jayapal.house.gov, and @pocan.house.gov introduced historic legislation to stop sending bombs to the Israeli military.

It should be common sense. We should not be supporting mass killing and starvation. Thank you all for your leadership.

Raising the $7.25 an hour minimum wage to a living wage is not a radical idea.

Since 2020, voters in Florida, Nebraska, Missouri & Alaska approved a major increase in their minimum wage.

What’s radical is that the federal minimum wage has not gone up since 2009.

My call for an independent inquiry into the UK's role in Gaza has passed its 1st reading in Parliament.

We will establish the truth over the UK’s complicity in genocide - and we will bring about justice for the Palestinian people.

Today, children are taught about history’s worst crimes against humanity.

We ask how the world could have possibly let them happen.

Future history books will shame those who could have stopped the genocide in Gaza, but chose to enable atrocity after atrocity instead.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Endorses Zohran Mamdani as Top Choice for Mayor

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a once-in-a-generation leader who has led the fight for working people in Congress.

In 2018, she shocked the world and transformed our politics.

On June 24, with @aoc.bsky.social’s support and this movement behind us, we will do the same.

Bill Owens, the producer of CBS’s 60 Minutes, resigned in protest.

Wendy McMahon, the head of CBS News, has now resigned.
 
I say to Shari Redstone: Enough is enough. Do not capitulate to Trump’s attack on a free press. Do not settle Trump’s bogus lawsuit against 60 Minutes.

It’s time this city empowered small businesses—not bury them in fines, fees and endless bureaucracy.

Here’s my plan.

Pope Leo XIV Outlines Path for Catholic Church That Follows in Francis’ Steps The new pope said he would be guided by a key document that his predecessor wrote listing the church’s priorities, including a “loving care for the least and the rejected.”

In his first formal address to Roman Catholic cardinals, Pope Leo XIV on Saturday said he would continue the work of Pope Francis in steering the church in a more missionary direction, with greater cooperation among church leaders and caring for the marginalized.

This is grim. I’m pretty sure this swan in Hyde Park is nesting, and it’s surrounded by plastic waste that’s washing up from the Serpentine. It’s so representative of our relationship with the natural world. It’s shameful.

The MTA might be phasing out the MetroCard but we have…the ZetroCard.

Pick one up at any canvass. Do eight shifts in eight weeks and get a limited edition poster. Plus you’ll help win a city we can afford.

Head to zohranfornyc.com/events and make your canvassing shift weekly!

Pope Francis Warns Seals On Jesus’ Tomb Are Weakening VATICAN CITY—As he called on the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics to pray for the bonds restraining the messiah to hold fast, Pope Francis warned Tuesday that the seals on Jesus’ tomb were weakening and Christ could escape at any moment. “Citizens of the world, brace yourselves, for soon the Risen Lord will roam the earth anew, unleashing death and destruction on everything in His path,” said the pontiff, adding that the Vatican had worked for centuries to keep Jesus safely bound and locked away in His crypt, but Church teachings had long foretold He would one day come again to visit His murderous wrath upon the children of God. “The death toll could be in the millions. Once Jesus has broken free, no mortal force can contain Him, and He will not rest until His ravenous blood lust has been sated. As we speak, our most powerful cardinals are in the catacombs blessing the seals with all their might, but we don’t know how long they can hold Him back. The King of Kings has finally been roused from His ancient slumber and is ready to feed.” At press time, Pope Francis was reportedly yelling for everyone to save themselves after Jesus had burst forth from His tomb and devoured a group of Swiss Guards that was futilely stabbing Him with their pikes.

Tony Benn would have been 100 years old today.

It's been 11 years since he died, but his legacy lives on in our collective struggles for justice, equality and peace.

Happy birthday Tony! 🌹

Illinois is the nation's number one soybean producing state — it's what made us the perfect home for the Soybean Innovation Lab.

Thanks to Donald Trump, the lab will close on April 15.

Innovation lost, jobs lost, and education lost.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

If your own member of Congress is a Democrat and hasn't made this demand, ask them why.

If your member is a Republican, ask them anyway. Don't let them off the hook. Let them know you're watching all this.
