Do me a favor: no matter what someone tells you they accomplished at the gym, tell them they did amazing because support like that always goes a long way

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

NEW: Judge Immergut issues her written second TRO, blocking the Trump admin from deploying ANY federalized National Guard troops from ANY state in Oregon. (Full hearing thread below) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours.

Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't.

Remember

If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours.

Speak out now!

Supreme Court lets Noem end legal status for many Venezuelans in the U.S. The majority gave virtually no reasoning. The Democratic appointees objected, but only Justice Jackson wrote: "[Y]et another grave misuse of our emergency docket."

“In all, then, the Supreme Court’s majority has — in a total of five paragraphs over two orders — allowed Noem’s effort to proceed in opposition to seven rulings from seven judges, amounting to 227 pages of opinions.” www.lawdork.com/p/supreme-co...

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

“The position of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is to scrap Daylight Saving Time and permanently stick to Standard Time.” Remind your state and federal lawmakers!

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better.

An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever.

AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.

So frustrating!

I tried to get uneven Orange/Red line spacing fixed in my last year on BART Board but didn’t succeed, and it seems to be getting worse. I sometimes run to make a train so I don’t wait nearly 20 minutes for next one.

If this bothers you too please contact BART or speak at a meeting.

Meryl Streep in devil wears Prada saying “groundbreaking.”

another government shutdown

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE

YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS

PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The government has officially gone down

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.

We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

We need 3 day weekends!!

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Ted Cruz recently chastised the left for demonizing ICE by referring to them as Nazis

Well

Here’s an ICE agent demonizing immigrants, using Nazi like verbiage

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
