Jane Fonda has relaunched @1acommittee.bsky.social, originally formed by her father Henry Fonda during the McCarthy era.

"This administration is moving fast," she says of Trump's crackdown on dissent. "We have to do everything we can to stop what's happening before it becomes the norm."

I dont know if anyone will see this, but Iโ€™m breaking my Social Media fast to ask those of you who are the praying sort to say prayers of healing for the adult daughter of dear friends. She had a terrible accident while doing something she loves. The next 3-5 days are critical. Thank you.

The people they are targeting are the easiest to find-they are working or showing up at the courthouse for their hearings. Itโ€™s despicable.

JFC Scott Jennings is awful. Watching him on @realtimers.bsky.social , so thatโ€™s really saying something.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data.

Destroying it so someone can โ€œsaveโ€ it. Someone in the private sector, of course.

Who in their right mind would:

1. Want to fly into our airports
2. Want to spend money here and support this insanity
3. Want to travel here and risk some insane arrest

Is this real? It seems extreme even for them.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens.

How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

I am so sick of hearing any Democrat saying they are willing to be โ€œbipartisanโ€ or โ€œreach across the aisle.โ€ Just stop that stupidity. If these fascists want to work with you let them come. Stop acting weak.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
