-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

We deserve leaders who speak the truth. Happy Presidents’ Day.

Thank you @repstansbury.bsky.social

I know there are so many immediate threats against human life from the regime, that often the conversation about attacks on the environment get lost in the shuffle. Attacks on the Earth are an attack on her people. We are connected. It's the same fight.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Faith leaders are uniting in opposition to the authoritarian tactics of the Trump administration

Grand jury declines to indict Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to disobey illegal Trump orders | CNN Politics A federal grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict Democratic lawmakers who posted a video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey any illegal orders from the Trump administration...

DOJ policy provides that prosecutors should seek charges only when “the admissible evidence will probably be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction.” Not even even a close call here. What an embarrassment.

Pam Bondi Is Such A Bitch A Pedophile Protector in Pumps & Pinstripes

Pam Bondi is an evil bitch.

Hopefully history repeats itself..

On Lincoln's birthday, it's useful to remember he believed the primary goal of the American experiment was to guarantee "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and the best way to achieve that goal was through free and fair elections. It's basically the thesis of the Gettysburg Address. 1/2

Rep Ted Lieu speaking at a congressional hearing

Ted Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at that party or any party that Trump attended with Epstein”

Pam Bondi: “There is no evidence that Trump has committed a crime”

Ted Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath”

They are bending the knee.

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

It's like the world just found out they've been keeping an Irish man in a concentration camp there and he told the world they're being tortured, going hungry, and fear for their lives. Oh, and the guards are killing people.

Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE:

"The contract with ICE will not move forward, a Holman spokesperson told Patch.

"I have been informed that we declined that particular body of work," the spokesperson said...

Two Days On The Hill: ICE & Pam Bondi Writing this newsletter isn’t always easy.

Tuesday was the ICE oversight hearing. Today was Pam Bondi’s. I watched them both for you. The bottom line: There are (mostly Democratic) members of Congress who understand how important the moment is & they are standing up and showing courage. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The “evidence” cited in search warrant affidavit for Fulton County turns out to be unconfirmed reports of human error that have already been debunked, with no allegations of criminal intent, in a matter where the statute of limitations has long since expired. It’s slow-motion election interference.

Thanedar to a DHS official: "You better hope you get a pardon"

Depends whether Trump wants her gone. If he doesn't, then he will pressure the Republicans to declare her not guilty.

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump’s attempt to rig the House through mid-cycle redistricting is backfiring, with Democrats fighting back in court and potentially gaining seats instead of losing them. youtu.be/DNpQ87xObsU?...

Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

RING thanks for the warning. Heading into town to get a replacement and throwing my RING doorbell away. If you think that ID network is about lost dogs you are an IDIOT!

I see MAGA are still curled up in a fetal position crying about the Bad Bunny Halftime show.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: I was in Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition today. It was shameful. She basically said other powerful people committed these crimes but she won’t name them unless she’s granted clemency.

She needs to be sent back to a maximum security prison immediately.

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question


McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

This was not an inevitability.

This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.

It does not have to be this way.

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention and denied prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress,

The so-called "pro-life," "pro-family" party is perfectly fine with an 18-month-old child almost dying because of the deplorable conditions at this detention center. Hello?
