Here's hoping. 🤞

(next to an image of the Capitol and a hand holding a megaphone) STOP THE TRUMP SHUT DOWN

The Trump Shutdown is happening because Republicans (who control the White House & Congress) refuse to pass a funding plan to stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter. Let’s hold the GOP accountable & encourage Democrats to keep protecting our healthcare: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Did anybody wake up Green Day?

The undisputed king of tweets that didn’t age well

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

It was never about “freedom.” It was always about who was in control.

Buying new clothes for your kid going back to school? They're more expensive thanks to this administration's reckless tariff taxes.

Oh, HELL no! We cannot let this happen.

Trump says he will lead 'movement' to end mail-in voting President Trump said on Monday that that he will lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots, claiming, without providing evidence, that it leads to voter fraud.

As if he hasn't done enough damage, the latest in Trump's assault on democracy is a vow to target mail-in voting again. This is a blatant attempt to silence Americans and hold onto power.

Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online, The UK is having a moment. In late July, new rules took effect that require all online services available in the UK to assess whether they host content considered harmful to children, and if so,

When platforms are forced to block “anything that might harm kids,” the result is overreach. A real rights-respecting solution to keeping people safe online is one that's built on user control, privacy, and smart design, not censorship. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Americans, Be Warned: Lessons From Reddit’s Chaotic UK Age Age verification has officially arrived in the UK thanks to the Online Safety Act (OSA), a UK law requiring online platforms to check that all UK-based users are at least eighteen years old before

Age verification has arrived in the UK and, to no one’s surprise, users hate it. We cannot accept these censorship regimes as our new norm. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

This from an administration claiming to be “free speech” advocates.

Their policies are already so unpopular, it’s no wonder congressional Republicans delayed the most harmful impacts until after the next election.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!

249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

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.

Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York has now passed the four-hour mark in his floor speech. Keep going, we’re with you!
