If you think it won't happen to you, think again...

Take a look. Not ICE. Just ordinary “officer friendlies” doing what this country allows them to do to unarmed Black men. Remember?

It’s a cult

America in a nutshell.

Bold statement from someone working for a guy with 34 felony convictions.

Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings:
-Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove)
-Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%)

We Hold These Truths

More than ever, Americans must remain grounded in the founding principles of our republic. I'm proud to be among those from across the political spectrum supporting the @weholdtruths.bsky.social to remind us of the values we hold in common, and to help make the Constitution accessible to everyone.

States in ‘triage mode’ over $6B in withheld K-12 funding • NC Newsline The U.S. Department of Education’s decision to hold back $6.8 billion in federal K-12 funds has alarmed state education officials

The U.S. Department of Education’s decision last week to hold back $6.8 billion in federal K-12 funds next year has triggered alarm among state education officials, school leaders and advocacy groups nationwide #ncpol @stateline.org

A huge tax break snuck into Trump & the GOP's big ugly bill would allow private jet owners to write off the full cost of their planes in the first year of purchase.

Meanwhile, the law will cause millions to lose food assistance and healthcare.

We shouldn’t have billionaires.

To the “I voted for this” crowd:

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.

That’s what you voted for?

Dude, by next November we'll have a 1 party system with no elections. You got interested in challenging this regime way too late. All Republicans need to go, but most Dems need to go too. #cowards

Do we really think mid term elections are going to happen and/or be fair?

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

Dissent is patriotic.

We have a right to disagree and dissent with those in power and demand a better world.

Heads up! All the people should be reminded that they may not see nor feel the results of the cuts (or atrocities) until AFTER the mid-terms! This is by design, of course. Help inform the uninformed (or misinformed).

A New Declaration of Independence from Tyranny

There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

Powerful video…

@reuters.com why are you reporting on this?

Perfectly normal story in a free and democratic country, definitely not a dystopian nightmare filled with unimaginable horrors

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it?

But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along.

Really scary stuff.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8
