Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*โ€”and who could blame him?

Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump โ€œdeportโ€ American citizens.

This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable ๐Ÿคฌ

Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Never forget this. As the markets tank, as a recession looms in our futureโ€ฆthey will somehow blame Biden. However, the GOP has had the power all along.

One small man.

One small man crashing the economy of the entire world.

No congress.
No judicial.
No checks.
No balances.
No constitution.

Just one small man,
and his smirking sycophants,
burning it all down.

Try that in a small town ICE disappeared a mother and 3 children. Neighbors of Trump's Border Czar said hell no.

New โ€” I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). Itโ€™s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home.

Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

Here's Why You Need To Be An Activistโ€”Right. F*cking. Now. Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk.

Ok, so I get itโ€”youโ€™re not an activist.
Or, at least maybe thatโ€™s the way youโ€™ve always felt.
Too f*ckinโ€™ badโ€”itโ€™s time to get comfortable with the discomfort
Activism is no longer optional for good humans in America and hereโ€™s why:
People are disappearing.

BREAKING NEWS: America Is Back in the Slave Trade A Trump administration filing in federal court in Maryland may be the most shocking confession any presidential administration has made in generationsโ€”as it signals a reinstitution of the slave trade.

This is real. This is happening.

Why seeing trade deficits as a problem is silly. We buy $150B of stuff from Vietnam and they buy $10B from US.

Taxing ourselves 50% on Vietnamese goods doesnโ€™t make them buy more things from us. We will simply buy less from them and pay huge taxes on what we do buy.

Itโ€™s so fucking stupid.

Just some things to watch out for on Saturday.

From a Veteran who was at Standing Rock.

We know there were paid agitators there.

We know there were unpaid and paid agitators during BLM marches '20.

They'll be out on Saturday.

Stay safe, pay attention!

I love that @booker.senate.gov is filibustering to protest pretty much everything โ€” Trump, Musk, disregard for rule of law, disregard for wellbeing of Americans. How long can he talk? Overnight and into tomorrow. More than long enough to get some attention. He's already trending.

yall we canโ€™t collectively screech that โ€œno oneโ€™s doing anything!โ€ and then say โ€œno not like thatโ€ when someone actually does something.

is Bookerโ€™s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. Iโ€™m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.

The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

Yโ€™all see now?
Trumpโ€™s always said heโ€™d do a 3rd term by shattering our Constitution/rigging elections via Musk!
Yโ€™all MAGA cheered for this dictatorship while registered Dems decided it was too fucking bothersome to vote.

Iโ€™ve got nothing for all yโ€™all. Do better!

In Dr. MLK Jr.'s last book, he asked "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?" Unions are community, to make sure we have fair wages & working conditions, and a better life for all. This community is must fight Trumpโ€™s chaos & cruelty. We must fight back - together.

Appeals Court clears the way for Musk, DOGE to resume cuts to USAID The ruling came as the Trump administration notified Congress that it will dissolve the agency.

This seems disastrously terrible, way too broad, & UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Hope it gets slapped with some lawsuits & a stay from the courts & thrown out after hearing/s.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

No one is safe here. Thinking that your money will protect you is:

1. Naive and. 2. Shitty

Instead of conducting purity tests and worrying about what members of the resistance are saying that might make you feel bad about yourself - JUST aim that outrage at the perpetraitors and do your part.

And the idea that the folks who voted for this are uneducated couch-fvckers (while understandable) is NOT TRUE.

This arrogance and dismissive BS is not helping build coalitions or welcome in folks who realize they made a mistake.

Another friend advocated in a thread to just sit back and wait for the "dirty hicks" who voted for this to be affected and take him out themselves.

Really? You gonna sit back in your compound spending living off your inheritance while your less fortunate neighbors suffer? Cool cool.

Still running into folks who think they can just sit back in their bubble and not be affected by this coup.

I use the term "apocalypse" in dark humor these days, but I do believe we are in the "end times" of the US we've known for the last 80 years.

Big question is can we pull back from fascism and build something better, stronger, more resilient, or is this our Fall of Rome?

The anti-LGBTQ+ proposal rejected today by Disney shareholders was brought by the same anti-DEI group that lost in overwhelming votes to Costco, Apple, and John Deere shareholders. The National Center for Public Policy Research is now 0-4 in its anti-diversity shareholder proposals this year.

Check Your Voter Registration Status โ€” Gay Valimont for Congress

12 days until the FL-1 election & we're talking to every voter we can.

Yet, my opponent is ducking every chance to face voters at debates & joint forums.

If he doesnโ€™t care enough to connect with our district now, what do you think heโ€™ll be like as FL-1โ€™s rep?
