“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I see posts saying protesters aren't brutalized under Dems. I guess right-wingers aren't the only ones fantasizing about a mythical past. I was brutalized at protests under Obama. Folks were brutalized at protests under Biden. We can condemn the escalations of the present w out fetishizing the past.

Assault on nonviolent citizens

Someone please check Susan Collins’ concern level

It’s not just that the oligarchs don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes.

Many of them literally do not believe in the concept of government.

They are rich and powerful and have the “divine right” to do anything they want.

Mike Johnson and Jeff Landry are neck and neck for the worst reactionary to come out of LA imo.

Secretly, JD Vance is hoping all that Peter Thiel money will remove Donald Trump so he can take over said “movement.”

Simone Biles, continuing to prove she’s the GOAT

Bondi DOJ has a problem.

Love this! 🌈 "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers is a must-read for queer representation in sci-fi. “Everyone deserves a place to belong.” 🪐📚 #Pride #SciFi #

House Republicans include a 10-year ban on US states regulating AI in 'big, beautiful' bill House Republicans surprised tech industry watchers and outraged many state governments when they added a clause to Republicans’ signature “big, beautiful” tax bill that bans states and localities from...

That’s what someone on ketamine would say

LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!!

Folks showed up to protest in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on May Day for the nationwide protests.

Thank you, Louisiana folks!

Still wrapping my head around a President with 34 felony convictions snatching people off the street if they have a speeding ticket on their record.

The State of Democracy Requires Us to Expand the Map From Marc | Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control.

That means conducting a nationwide review of voting barriers in all 50 states. It means dedicating resources to challenge laws that disenfranchise voters. And it means having the political will to fight for the right to vote everywhere, regardless of how competitive a state appears today.

Evidently, last night Fox aired a live broadcast of Putin attending an Easter service in Russia
For an hour ..

How much more evidence do we need?

Pro-trans protesters at the protest at Parliament Square in London after the U.K. Supreme Court issued a ruling defining a "woman" in legal contexts as someone who was born a biological female:

"No justice, no peace. No gender police!"

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
