He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.
Itโs such an honor to serve in the Senate alongside my Sister Senator.
We are fighting for you. For hardworking families like the ones we came from.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizรกndola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PรDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pรญdeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a รกreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

20.02.2025 03:36 โ ๐ 56181 ๐ 12911 ๐ฌ 912 ๐ 807Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is itโs okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isnโt denial, itโs how we will survive
None of us can be sure what will โwork.โ You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never โsureโ of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

We defeated fmr Ambassador #RickGrenell's defamation lawsuit against @oliviatroye.bsky.social.
Fed district judge gave #Trump's Special Envoy 14 days to file amended complaint. Given how well Grenell is apparently doing in career, can't fathom how he complains otherwise.
Powerful moment at the public hearing for the anti-trans legislation being fast tracked through Iowa. Faith leaders gathered above the rotunda to pray and just started singing until people listened. I believe they are singing "we are trans and queer together, we are singing singing for our lives. "

Polar Sheets, made by Messrs P Lloyd Rees of Manchester, and an advert designed by Mrs G Barraclough, 1923. It shows a cheery bear on a rocky landscape against a green sky with the lettering "PoLaR Sheets cool in the sultriest heat." talking that cotton sheets are cooling.
Apparently its #InternationalPolarBearDay so - any excuse to this great c1923 advert for Polar Sheets made by Messrs P Lloyd Rees of Manchester, designed by Mrs G. Barraclough. #PolarBearDay

This is cool! A state school has defeated Eton to reach the finals of the International History Bowl & Bee in Vienna. Theyโre former winners, and are sending two young teams to compete again

The purpose of temporary emergency relief was to restore the status quo as it existed before Defendantsโ blanket suspension of congressionally appropriated funds, given Plaintiffsโ strong showing of irreparable harm and that Defendantsโ blanket suspension of funds was likely arbitrary and capricious. A stay pending appeal would run directly contrary to that purpose and, indeed, would have the opposite effect of rendering the Courtโs TRO--unchallenged in the appeal or stay motionโa nullity. The Court accordingly denies Defendantsโ motion for a stay pending appeal.
