๐Ÿงต๐Ÿงต Texas Republicans have been increasingly open and aggressive about Christianizing America via schools - to, in the words of the state education board chair, center classrooms around "GOD, GOP & USA."

That fight just escalated, and you should pay attention - because your state could be next.

Canceled grants get the spotlight at a Capitol Hill 'science fair' On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work โ€” and the federal cuts that now threaten it.

The Senate Must Unmask ICEโ€”Pass the VISIBLE Act Text SIGN PRGRER to 50409 โ€” No one should be forced to guess whether the person detaining them is a real government agentโ€”or just someone in tactical gear with a badge they bought online. And yet thatโ€™s exactly where we are. Trumpโ€™s deportation machine is running at full tilt, with ICE agents conducting mass arrests in plainclothes, unmarked uniforms, and face coverings. No name. No badge number. No agency. Just fear. The VISIBLE Act (S.2212) offers a simple and vital fix: require ICE, CBP, and deputized officers to display clear identification and refrain from obscuring their faces during public operations, except in covert or hazardous situations. This isnโ€™t radical. This is basic law enforcement protocol. And itโ€™s not just civil rights groups calling for thisโ€”itโ€™s former DHS and ICE leaders themselves. Scott Shuchart, a former DHS official and ICE lawyer, supports the bill, saying: โ€œMasked, plainclothes officers create an unreasonable risk of escalating violence and unnerve everyone who sees themโ€ฆ having government agents dressed like paramilitaries is un-American.โ€ Jason Houser, former ICE Chief of Staff under the Biden administration, has also condemned Trumpโ€™s tactics, warning that operating without visible ID โ€œundermines officer safety and public trust.โ€ The current chaos isnโ€™t just frighteningโ€”itโ€™s dangerous. Impersonation cases are spiking, with people in multiple states pretending to be ICE agents and detaining Latinos at gunpoint. In L.A., police have had to verify ICE agentsโ€™ identities on-site after terrified bystanders reported kidnappings. Thatโ€™s how bad itโ€™s gotten. The VISIBLE Act includes clear limits: it doesnโ€™t restrict enforcement authority, interfere with covert ops, or compromise officer safety. It brings immigration enforcement in line with every other agency thatโ€™s required to show who they are and who they work for. Speaker Johnson says the bill is โ€œabsurd.โ€ But thereโ€™s nothing absurd about the publicโ€™s right to know who is exercising government power in their communities. Cosponsor and pass the VISIBLE Act. Because transparency isnโ€™t a threat to law enforcementโ€”itโ€™s the foundation of it.

SAVE THE DATE: July 17 was chosen as the next national protest date in order to honor the anniversary of the death of John Lewis who always taught us to #MakeGoodTrouble.

Holy forking shirtballs. We are living in a dystopian nightmare when bigotry and overt racism are okay when coming from the POTUS, CO-POTUS, VP, & Co. but criminal when coming from a brown or black immigrant!

Hello, America. This is what a #RealDemocraticLeader looks like.
He defends:
โ€ข his country w truth instead of shelling out lies.
โ€ข his people instead of aligning with dictators to try & squash the agency of smaller countries.

In short, heโ€™s not our dictator wanna be. #DumpTrump #FireElon

The #SAVEAct requires #women to show a passport or birth cert. that matches our current name to reg. to #vote. Do you realize how many that's impossible for? It ends voter reg. drives, mail-in, & online voter reg. too. It keeps millions of Americans from voting! Sign up & fight this #MAGABill.
