Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

There was no punishment for Reps. Randy Fine and Tommy Tuberville for their anti-Muslim hate, so here we go.

No censure. Nada.

For the first time in over a century, families across the U.S. have to fear their children growing up without citizenship in the only home they've ever known.

We'll be defending the right of birthright citizenship at the Supreme Court on April 1 in our case Barbara v. Trump.

Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone The State of Alabama wants to execute Charles "Sonny" Burton for capital murder. But Sonny never killed anyone. The identity of the shooter, Derrick DeBruce, was never in dispute. However, Alabama ...

Time is running out to save the life of Sonny Burton, an Alabama man who didn’t kill anyone.

Tell Governor Ivey to commute his sentence before his scheduled execution date on March 12.

It's not widely known enough that the moment the UN formally recognized "genocide" as a phenomenon, Black Americans filed a petition charging the US with genocide against Black people. The conditions they describe have continued.

Participating in sports allows kids to build community and confidence, from middle school track meets to dreams of one day playing in the WNBA.

Brianna Turner is in the fight to defend trans youth because she knows that every kid deserves the opportunity to be themselves, on and off the field.

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word β€œgenocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

They’re literally pushing out Black women to make sure they can try to permanently staff the federal government with white supremacists.

Congress must prevent AI surveillance. The Anthropic feud proves it | Ashley Gorski and Patrick Toomey The company’s clash with the Pentagon is a fight over the future of American privacy

The Pentagon is demanding AI companies allow them to use their products to mass surveil Americans.

Congress must step in and take action now.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.

We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.

Everything is for sale.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

One, they wanted the content.
Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people.
Three, they wanted to install loyalists.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

So Let's recap for a second time.

Donald Trump is not only not protecting the USA.

He's not protecting our soldiers.

He's allowing Russia to put bounties again on the heads of our soldiers , just like HE DID HIS FIRST TERM.

he's also stopping or slowing sanctions.

WHO EXACTLY DOES HE WORK FOR?

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are β€œmarching through the world.”

Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

Our elders really did feel this way. In 2019 and early 2020, I was bewildered...and I was told a version of this.

I understand but can't fully relate. Most young Black folks can't relate. It's not extraordinary for us to have leadership roles & to supervise people who aren't Black.

Generation gap.

I woke to 25 new blocks after I posted a plea for people to vote, so let me be clear.
I don't give a fuck what ideology you claim...
If you are actively discouraging people from voting, telling them it won't matter, and that nothing will ever change...
You are an ally of fascism.
Full Fucking Stop.
