I also joined because of poverty in a way. My family wasn’t necessarily poor but they wouldn’t pay for me to go to college. So I left home via the only method I saw available to me. He’s completely correct on all points here and I wish there were more white vets that spoke out about this. 👏👏👏

Bombs 3 nuclear sites and then says “Now is the time for peace”?

This is an escalation that will lead to more death. Congress must reconvene immediately to stop the President from pushing us into war.

Insane. And such bullshit. LAPD! 🤬 Saw this too: bsky.app/profile/news...

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

Oooh oooh ooh I feel the #altCitizen vibes all the way over here. Sound up.

A tweet from Maxwell Alejandro Frost criticizing Republican budget cuts to Medicaid, urging continued protests, advocacy, and pressure. The tweet includes the Indivisible logo.

Your calls are working. Let’s keep the pressure up — if you’re represented by a Republican, tell them to reject Trump’s tax scam and massive giveaways to billionaires that stick everyday Americans with the bill: act.indivisible.org/...

Trump shut down program to end human waste backing into Alabama homes, calling it 'illegal DEI' A $26 million federal program to help residents of Lowndes County, Alabama, who have dealt with inadequate sewage systems for decades was stopped by an executive order.

Calling it "illegal DEI," Trump issues EO to shut down a program redirecting human waste away from a rural Alabama area regularly flooded with sewage during climate-change-amplified storms.

The area's population is over 72% Black.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.

They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.

Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Yes. Please and thank you. ❤️

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

A Little Personal News I wanted y’all to be the first people to know—late last year, I was contacted by an editor at Penguin Random House.

A little personal news. I have a book coming in October. It’s a blend of law, history & common sense—it’s about how to keep the Republic

Student activists with the Sunrise Movement, teachers, and union leaders rallied in support of public schools at the Department of Education tonight after this week’s mass layoffs.

A chant: “Fully fund our schools now!”

A sign: “Robbing our children to pay off billionaires.”

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world.
Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

First They Came For… Mahmoud Khalil is a household name at the moment.

Let’s be clear about what this isn’t. This is not an attempt to protect Jewish Americans from antisemitism. That is a complicated problem that requires education and a long-term commitment. joycevance.substack.com/p/first-they...

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

Britain urged to form breakaway 'Four Eyes' alliance without the US Some in the defence establishment are now suggesting forming a sub-group in the existing 'Five Eyes' alliance to allow intelligence sharing without a US veto.

This was always the risk with Gabbard and Patel at the head of our intelligence gathering.

We not only will lose our own sources who won’t trust them, but we will lose intelligence from our close allies.

This makes a terrorist attack on US soil much more likely.

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

YouTube video by Senator Angus S. King, Jr. “Thoughtless and Dangerous” King says on Senate Floor in Response to Trump Administration Firings

This speech by Sen. Angus King of Maine is well worth listening to. I hope at least some of the Republicans listening really heard what he had to say. It’s not too late to stand up for democracy! @hcrichardson.bsky.social Thank you for sharing this in your Substack today. youtu.be/g2ptQFOi9Pg?...

He who controls the algorithm, controls the people.

More of this from members of Congress please. Thank you, @balint.house.gov !
