Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

OMG...When's the national guard getting here...Portland is so out of hand...

Portland Oregon...I can't wait for the National Guard to get here so they can help me to a table on the street at my fav restaurant. Oh the horror...

Downtown Portland Oregon: All businesses windows boarded up with plywood...rampant crime-ridden hellscape...

Republicans in Congress could end the Trump shutdown today by passing a budget deal that protects your health care and takes away Trump’s blank checks.

Let your legislators hear from you.

So true.

As a German political scientist who used to live in the US I cannot say how deeply disturbing it is to see these masked ICE goons dragging people off the streets, and the GOP building up this massive secret police force. What a shameful moment in history this is.

The kleptocrats. From Oligarchy to strait up Kleptocracy. Dayum.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

LIFE IS PRECIOUS AND FRAGILE AND YOUR TIME HERE IS FLEETING. DON'T WASTE A MOMENT ARGUING WITH SOMEONE WHOSE PRIMARY SOURCE OF INFORMATION IS FOX NEWS.

He nails it.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of Elon’s effort to eliminate it is that Americans will have no recourse when they’re screwed over by a bank.

Great point.

This energy.

i know rose and adore her.
