JOZZIE STUCHELL VELESIG: A Job Well Done The sweet smell of the fresh plaster filled the room. Troweled on smooth and soft, hardening, a stone rolled before a tomb. He breathed in the scent of his labor and washed and packed his tools. He…

Four Immediate Steps to Resist Authoritarianism A practical guide to reclaim agency and push back—starting today.

“And finally: Ask this question every day
“What is mine to do?”
Not: Can I fix everything?
Not: Is it enough?
But: What is mine to do today?
Then do that. And tomorrow, do it again.
That’s how resistance grows. “

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen If Bukele doesn't want to meet in D.C., I'll go to El Salvador to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.

Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

So proud of my alma mater today

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

TODAY HISTORY MADE

Hope you were able to watch & listen
Senator Cory Booker
25 hours of GOOD TROUBLE

How proud John Lewis would be
How proud & thankful we are of you Senator

This is What America Needed
Now, WE must stand by Cory & fight

An incredible job, sir!
Putting this here for those (like me) who missed some details the press caught.

Cory Booker Just Gave The Longest Speech In The History of The US Senate Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate...

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

British tourist detained at US border over visa released, family say Rebecca Burke, 28, was denied entry into Washington State after US immigration officials accused her of travelling on the wrong visa

Good news. Comics creator Rebecca Burke has finally been released by ICE after two horrific weeks in one of their gulags and is on a flight back to the UK.

Don't come here. Not for awhile, maybe years and years.

Hundreds of Jewish people and their and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting, “We want justice. You say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and, “Fight Nazis, not students!”

The ICE arrest of Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil has spawned this immediate and ongoing civil disobedience.

At least there are books and I read some great ones in February 💙📚

Ukraine: Aid worker describes escape from deadly Russian strike Karol Swiacki spoke to the BBC after surviving a missile strike on a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, which killed four.

This is blood on trump’s hands and every spineless republican who bends over backwards to support his every whim.

Not so fun fact:

If you think gender-expansive people are new, is probably because your forefathers tried to genocide any cultures that accepted gender-expansive people...

Yup.

You probably can’t watch the political documentary of the year No Other Land, an account of Israeli destruction of Palestinian homes, is a must-see. A lack of distribution means that's nearly impossible.

DOGE: Fake Savings

Elon’s DOGE keeps claiming savings and taking credit for canceling contracts that ended years ago.

🔘 Canceled a 2005 Coast Guard contract—but it ended two decades ago. Claimed $53.7M in “savings.”

🔘 Canceled a $14M contract that ended in 2021.

This isn’t savings—it’s fraud.
