Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Listen to Queer Youth on Section 230 Repealing Section 230 would be dangerous or deadly for thousands of young people, activists, and journalists

These groups are exploiting the real pain & anger people rightfully feel towards Big Tech while positioning Section 230 as the problem when their true aim is to restrict resources/online free speech of groups they don’t like. Please sign + share: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/jose...

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

This footage from Chicago is horrific.

Find your No Kings protest now at nokings.org. There’s no more sitting on the sidelines.

This administration is weak and unpopular. If we stand up TOGETHER, peacefully, we win.

If we don’t, this becomes the new normal. And no one can say who will be next.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

Trump and Republicans took away your health care, shut down the government, and left our troops and federal workers without pay.

But Trump found $20 billion to bail out his political ally who also ran his country’s economy into the ground.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponents.

Meanwhile, he's gutting the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section which assists U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country with investigating crooked government officials.

"Drain the swamp."
