WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson The Declaration of Independence | Journey to American Democracy

A video about the Declaration of Independence. I'm proud of this one.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

Jeffries: "As a result of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare, people will die. Tens of thousands, perhaps year after year, as a result of the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people. I'm sad. I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying this is a crime scene"

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. 

They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. 

Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

Thank you for holding the line Senator Merkley!

Without comment. Keep hammering this.

The Trump regime is harming innocent Americans, targeting reporters and peaceful protesters. Video after video keeps surfacing, widely shared on TikTok and Reddit. These aren’t threats, they’re people walking home, holding signs, clearly marked as press. And still, they’re being targeted.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

Senator Angus King (I-ME) reaching to history to recall Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) and her 1950 stand against what she called "Republican Fascists." (King does not hold Chase's seat; Senator Susan Collins (R) does.)

You literally sound like a communist

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin.

When workers stand together, they win.

Solidarity. #MayDay

Cruelty to immigrant communities is not a policy solution.

Good news: A federal court barred Border Patrol from stopping and arresting people using practices that violate the Constitution. We shouldn't have to live our lives in fear of being stopped by ICE. @ufw.bsky.social @aclu.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social @sdicaclu.bsky.social

Under Trump, Americans are relearning the lesson we learned about the oligarchy during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

The Trump Administration's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education will only further erode equality of education, upend protections for some of our most vulnerable students and widen the educational opportunities gap for students from low-income families.
