In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned an NY gun safety law-enacted in 1911-greatly expanding the ability of people to carry firearms

Plus stop and frisk has already been found unconstitutional

But please, let’s hear more platitudes from the GOP about how we could’ve stopped the Manhattan shooting

There’s a Playbook for Authoritarianism. Trump Is Speed-Running It. Why a free pass undermines accountability.

I’m glad the experience of American citizens, also young people just trying to play ball, laws bare the utter senseless cruelty of the unconstitutional racially profiling this is.

Hugely important and we must stay active in protecting our neighbors and defending every persona’s rights because justice is a joint project! #BirthrightCitizenship

Watch this and tell me we’re ok?! Because there is no moral arc to this universe if we aren’t willing to bend it toward’s justice!

There is a really bad dystopian movie to be made here. Except, this isn’t a movie!: β€œTrump official suggests Medicaid recipients, automation can replace immigrant workers.”

Things are going to get harder for hard working people and that will include a lot of Black women. It won’t all happen at once. And we @civilrightsorg.bsky.social will be working to make sure everyone knows what’s coming & what we can do about it!

We know how to lower murder rates. Invest in communities. Another proof point BUT #DOJ CUT crime prevention funds & funds to prevent hate crimes. Now with the #BigUglyBill even food programs, Medicaid, mental health for kids in high needs schools face a cruel axe.

In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal The Trump administration’s cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan, according to civilians, doctors and aid officials.

It isn’t only babies abroad this administration treats with callous cruelty. The Trump plan Senators debate now is coming 4 children’s health & food programs right here in the US so it can line the pockets of the rich! Call ur Senators and say β€œNO” to the Big Ugly Bill! p2a.co/WEoB6y1

From SCOTUS allowing states to defund @ppfa.org to Trump’s big, bad & life threatening bill of cuts to healthcare, food programs & more, hard working people around this country will lose while rich corporations get our $ put in their pockets. Call your Senators & tell them β€œVOTE NO! p2a.co/WEoB6y1

This is not a safe country when law enforcement officers violate a human being’s rights. If they can violently abuse Narciso Barranco and get away with it they can do it to anyone.

β€˜β€œI’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said U.S. District Judge to the #Trump admin!
