Why can't this food be sent to Gaza? Or Yemen? South Sudan? Ukraine? What a waste. This regime is incompetent and cruel.

β€œWhen the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.”

I’ve been holding shadow hearings on Trump’s illegal immigration actions β€” first on third country removals, and then on arrests at immigration courthouses.

Because if Republicans won’t conduct an ounce of oversight on this authoritarian administration, we will.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.

Opinion | Don’t call it β€˜Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

In May, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that Florida welcomed 41.2 million visitors in the first quarter of 2025. Press release:

β€œFlorida is positioned for even greater success as the most visited destination in the United States.”

Bye, Florida.

Alligator Alcatraz is a Concentration Camp.

No matter where you live, there’s likely an Indivisible group near you that’s organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power.

Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups

Or let us help connect you with your nearest organizers: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Is This America’s Last Independence Day? By Lisa Graves

Donald Trump just signed a bill into law that'll kick 17 million people off their health care and make it harder for families to put food on the table.

Republicans sold you out so billionaires can get even richer.

We won't let them forget.

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.

This πŸ‘‡ is going to fundamentally change America. An internal security force with ever expanding powers impacting citizens and non-citizens.

With a mission that already expands far beyond what Americans voted for in November 2024.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

The ICE budget jumping from $3B to $45B should be the loudest alarm from this bill. The silence from electeds on the mass criminalization of immigrants is LOUD. Medicaid cuts are devastating, yes, but don’t ignore the cruelty being supercharged at our borders and on our streets!!!

What Therapists Treating Immigrants Hear Some mental-health-care providers are trying new approaches to treat patients whose worst fears have come true.

β€œThere’s a level of terror I haven’t seen before.” A psychiatrist who provides care to undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles talks about the psychological harm caused by recent ICE raids and anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Shame! Yes she got kickbacks, but she doesn’t realize that Alaskans still depend on a stable & accessible system in WA. Harborview Seattle is Alaska’s closest Level 1 facility. She may feel she is helping Alaska, but she is hurting the state that Alaskans need to function well to access vital care.

When I worked at Planned Parenthood I saw people of all stripes walk through our doors to access a range of care. It was a source of pride that we provided informed, judgment-free care to all. No other provider can replicate what they do. Shame on everyone who voted to defund PP!

As of right now, House Republicans don’t have enough votes to pass Trump’s Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid to give billionaires more tax cuts.
