if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera

(and then prosecute them)

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Follow-up question: who were the hackers who found this material? Were they regime affiliated or backed?

This bill is an act of war by the billionaires and their white nationalist allies against the people of the United States.

It will take health care from millions of people to fund tax cut for billionaires, secret police to arrest the President’s critics, and concentration camps.

It’s fascism.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

This is nothing like Iraq or Afghanistan from a public opinion standpoint. In both cases, large majorities supported military action. This time, large majorities oppose it. Chart from the great @gelliottmorris.com. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-amer...

Jeffries doesn’t call Trump’s act of war illegal or unconstitutional.

The leadership of the Democratic Party is worse than useless.

None of the people who fear-monger about Iran's nuclear capacity are ever actually concerned about nuclear non-proliferation.

If they were, they would be talking about Israel's nuclear weapons too.

The White House is clearly scared of the power states have to build the clean energy economy and is resorting to blatantly unconstitutional tactics. The Trump administration is hoping that pro-climate state governments back down in fear. How should states respond? Simple. Ramp up instead. 🧵

We are not alone. So much hope in standing out with thousands and thousands of people in Boston for three hours today.

It was cold and windy and rained and rained. No one around me cared.

"Universities can't survive without students" is an obvious fact that a lot of people have talked themselves into forgetting.

Screenshot of Politico article. Text reads: "The dynamics at work in the Great Grovel reveal a paradox. In theory, wealthy institutions with more diverse revenue lines should be more insulated from outside pressure. In practice, the opposite seems true, since these wealthy interests perceive more points of vulnerability — and, from the other perspective, potential profit — they therefore have more incentive to get along and go along."

One of the big differences between this time & last time is the widespread surrender of powerful institutions: business, law, higher ed. Last time, they protected their agendas and created friction. Now they're collaborating.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

New: Rubio confirmed he revoked the visa of the Tufts student and said he likely has revoked the visas of hundreds more. “We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take way their visas." The total # of revoked visas “might be more than 300 at this point"

A stunning assault on the First Amendment

Before Rubio's confirmation, senators and pundits acted as though he was a "sane," "rational," "normal," "moderate" nominee. He's constantly showing himself to be a right-wing extremist.

This is exactly right.

State & local leaders make the calls on our power mix, transit, and buildings, some of the biggest drivers of climate pollution. We can achieve 75% of our Paris climate commitments through state and local policy.

Serious about climate action? We’ve gotta show up down-ballot.

State lawmakers nationwide are refusing to back down on our climate future. They're ready to take the lead — to use state power to build the clean energy economy and defy Trump’s attacks.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others
