On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Many doctors and nurses and a majority of elder care workers are immigrants. There is ALREADY a shortage of these skilled workers in the US, imagine the increasing wait times and decreasing level of care as the Trump Catastrophe accelerates…

I am glad there are still people like Angie Nixon in Florida fighting against the concentration camp in Florida. Hopefully this law suit can get some traction. The corrupt GOP needs to be stopped!

Now would be a good time for every elected Democrat to declare X an unsuitable platform for public office holders and shut down their account.

The image shows a book titled "Lower Than The Angels: A History of Sex and Christianity" by Diarmaid MacCulloch. The cover features an artistic depiction of angels and humans intertwined, with rich, dark colors and dramatic lighting. The book is described as being written by a New York Times bestselling author of Christianity. The background is a wooden surface.

"A sustained journey through Christian history reveals that there is no such thing as a Christian theology of sex. There are multiple Christian theologies of sex, many of which have been downright contradictions of each other." @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social #LowerThanTheAngels

UPDATE: Lawyers for the 8 men im Djibouti have struck out with Judge Murphy in Boston who says his hands were tied by #SCOTUS. Plane is supposed to take off for S. Sudan at 7PM ET.

🚨 URGENT URGENT URGENT 🚨

Arrested at the Senate building today, disabled activist Carol Olinger needs insulin and dialysis NOW!

Circulate and make some noise.

Thank you!

Those of you making lists of Democrats that DOJ has arrested (usually via Kristi Noem's goons), I beg of you not to forget CA SEIU President David Huerta.

The pattern is the same, and in that case they charged a conspiracy which may be an effort to get inside SEIU's private records.

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans Trump order allows VA staff to decline providing healthcare to patients based on political affiliation or marital status

In yet another dishonor to our US Veterans, new rules to a Jan Trump EO now allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats and unmarried vets.

The EO in question?
“Defending women.”
To be clear, the EO is strictly and only anti-trans.

Continue to rise up.

Every single House Democrat voted to protect the healthcare of the American people after back to back all night sessions.

The battle is not over. We are just getting started.

JUST IN: Judge Xinis says the DOJ has failed to file a privilege log regarding invocation of the state secrets privilege in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case.

She's giving them until 3pm or will construe it as "intentional refusal" to comply.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

"MAJOR BREAKING: New viral video shows Congressman Menendez jumping in to save his colleague Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, who's being manhandled by ICE, as Mayor Ras Baraka is being taken in handcuffs.

America, 2025."

The mayor of Newark was arrested today while protesting at a federal immigration detention center operated by GEO Group — a private prison company and major Trump donor.

Kudos to Ras Baraka for standing up to this authoritarian regime.

JUST NOW: “This should be eye-opening for everyone. It is happening in our state.”

ICE just detained up to 100 people in Nashville — we’re told at least one says MNPD participated in her detention

PRESSER outside the ICE office👇🏽

U.S. Texts Barnard Employees and Asks if They Are Jewish A questionnaire from a federal commission also inquired about whether professors and other college staff members had been harassed.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

Let me cut right to the chase: without migrant labor in Vermont, we would have no dairy industry.

This feels like bounty hunting.

ICE targeting elementary school children is child abuse, period.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
