Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

An Orlando resturant owner gave 49 of her parking spots to artists to protest a state ban on rainbow-colored crosswalks

#MorningVibe

Last month, workers painted over the rainbow-colored crosswalk outside the LGBTQ Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
Se7en Bites owner Trina Gregory said "If they want to erase symbols of pride and acceptance, then we'll create even more of them"

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Thank you. 🫶🏽

I’m so excited to see you at @halconscificon.bsky.social!! See you soon!! 😍😍😍

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

No lie.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

"I fear President Trump believes the American people are so divided that today they will not stand up, fight for, and defend our most precious constitutional values so long as they are lulled into thinking their own personal interests are not affected.

"Is he correct?"

As you can tell, Young isn't happy:

"this Court finds by clear & convincing evidence that…Noem &…Rubio…deliberately & w/ purposeful
aforethought, did so concert their actions & those of their
two departments intentionally to chill the rights …

Strict speaking, this is a Findings of Fact and Law.

Looks favorably for plaintiffs, but I am distracted by this ancillary thing.

Young closes with a note to his correspondent, inviting him to drop by the Boston courthouse next time he's in town (postcard was postmarked from Philly)

OMG this William G. Young opinion that just dropped (12:30pm) in AAUP v. Rubio.
It begins with a postcard sent to Chambers and Young's reply

Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

🚨This. Is. Madness. Do not normalize seeing heavily armed federal forces in the streets of Chicago (or anywhere). Posted on IG a few minutes ago. 1/2

We will NOT be SILENCED!

Once you submitted to the bully, you've taught him to keep on bullying. You've reinforced his pathological behavior. If you haven't learned to say, "Fuck you!" – now is the time.

3 rural heath clinics in the Blue Ridge Mountains have closed due to Medicaid cuts from Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.
Unless these cuts are changed this will be the norm.
Dems are fighting for changes by holding up funding which the GOP voted down.
