Texas Republicans have a brazen new plan to block Democrats from retaking the House in 2026 “The partisan effects of the maps are achieved by discriminating against communities of color."

The plan? Gerrymandering.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

A hidden measure in the Republican budget bill would crown Trump king | Robert Reich

"Hidden inside their Big Ugly Bill is a provision intended to block the courts from using contempt to enforce its orders," writes former US labor secretary and Guardian US columnist Robert Reich.

"Its only purpose is to weaken the power of the federal courts."

If nothing else, fuss at your Republican senator from this angle.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! ❤️🔥

Opinion | It’s Time to Protect America From America’s President Trump’s authoritarian actions are vandalizing the American project.

If trans people bother you more than Nazis, you need to re-evaluate your life.

I've been trying to say for months now, perhaps unsuccessfully/awkwardly, that we need to make the GOP legislators fear their constituents (politically), more than they fear the WH. They CARE about their jobs.
It was great to here Adam say this.

Call, demand town-halls, protest GOP reps' offices.

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Which Congressional Democrat is going to fly to El Salvador to demand the release of the people the Trump regime abducted and forced into concentration camps?

Nature restores us, even as we destroy. Bit of gratitude and beauty, while walking my dogs (2nd and 3rd beings to be grateful for today).

The MAGA and Musk Fever Dream to End Democracy Elon’s in. Project 2025 is moving forward. And Trump has told us the plan out loud.

NEW: Trump’s executive order on elections gives Elon Musk access to state voter rolls.

Millions could be purged. Military ballots could be tossed. This is authoritarianism in action.

I broke it down for @zeteo.com. ⬇️

Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador.

/technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.

Wearing my green version of that shirt today! 🧶💚🧡

The damage I’m worried about, aside from the obvious damage of how this is ruining lives, is how to re-establish trust after this regime is no longer in power.

During the winter months, these strawberry workers in Santa Maria CA earn minimum wage and can work as few as 4 hours a day. This often requires mutiple families to share housing as they struggle to make ends meet. #WeFeedYou

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it:

“Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

"To be clear, the Trump administration is not interested in combating antisemitism," writes Judith Levine, a journalist and Guardian US contributor. "Antisemitism is the pretext for Trump’s interlocking multi-front wars on the first amendment, immigrants and higher education."

Exclusive: Fired US government workers with top security clearances were not given exit briefings, sources say The lack of so-called "read outs" for workers with clearances dismissed by Musk's DOGE could raise security risks, experts say.

"None of the employees with security clearances for nuclear secrets were properly debriefed, the current DOE source said...

"Those employees could be targeted by foreign adversaries for nuclear espionage...
