When one grows up in an environment where the people in charge not only don’t care about them but are most often the causes of their suffering, it’s easy to recognize that situation writ large in society.

Been watching Eddie since Chikara. So wonderful to finally see him at this level.

Got them banned from SNL, too. Love those guys.

Great thread of details toward what was said.

Trump’s Case Against Man Deported in “Error” Just Took Another Big Hit Trumpworld claims Kilmar Abrego Garcia was in MS-13. But new information concerning the local cop who attested to that charge at the time raises fresh questions about it.

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears.

New piece from me:

we should assume DOGE - and therefore Elon personally - has every piece of sensitive data the government has ever collected about you

this is far beyond any of the biggest privacy scandals in history, many people should go to jail for this

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Fuck this guy. We’ve always been here 🤬

Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

Jewish Americans feel echoes of history in transgender passport restrictions Many transgender Americans now hold passports that out them as being trans. LGBTQ+ Jewish people see this as part of a familiar playbook from the Holocaust.

For 30+ years, Camins Bretts has lived publicly as a man. Now he's been given a passport that says he’s a woman.

It’s a valid passport, but he's been detained at the border enough times to know how U.S. officials react to these kinds of inconsistencies. And for him, this new normal feels familiar.

If you are a con law professor and doing anything but saying that this is republic-jeopardizing stuff, you are doing it wrong

Chuck Schumer Must Resign & Democrats Must Change or Risk Abandonment It's become painfully clear the current Democratic Party isn't built to fight fascism, but as voters we cannot afford to sit silent—take this action to raise your voice today

If you're calling Senators at the numbers listed here but getting through—KEEP CALLING.

They're currently "experiencing high call volume" which means that our collective actions are working.

Keep dialing. Keep sharing. Keep calling. Don't relent.

CNN reports that in a private meeting, Senator Michael Bennet erupted, accusing Democratic leadership of having "No strategy, no plan, and no message on this spending bill" (direct quote)

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.

And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.

They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.

Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

The OCR investigated my school during Trump’s first term because they weren’t giving me proper disability accommodations. Now they’ve been weaponized into this. Fucking shame.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Iowa Republicans back a bill that would strip gender identity from the state's civil rights code Several protesters were arrested at the Iowa state Capitol as Republican lawmakers advanced a bill that would strip the state civil rights code of protections based on gender identity.

If you can, make noise in Iowa. The Republicans there are aiming to become the first in modern history to remove civil rights protections. They're trying to strip gender identity protections that have been in place for nearly 18 years.
