This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

“What I find here in desperate villages in southwestern Uganda is that not only are aid cuts killing children every day, but that the death toll is accelerating,” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes.
Things were fine, the economy was strong. They created chaos and turmoil, so now supposedly they alone can fix it.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is VERY unpopular.
No surprise when it kicks MILLIONS off of health care and food assistance to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires.
Republicans are trying to ram it through by July 4th.
NOW is the moment to fight back. Call your senator.
“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.
Senator Grassley's new version of the budget bill would limit the power of judges to block President Trump's unconstitutional actions.
They're trying to sneak this in behind our backs — but we're not backing down.
"In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration."

I know that we’ve had a month worth of further constitutional crises but Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still in custody in El Salvador and that central crisis is a continuing fact.

Andry has been imprisoned without trial for 60 days, held incommunicado by the Salvadoran government as part of a deal where we handed Bukele a metaphorical briefcase of cash to detain hundreds of people!
The GOP budget slashes over $300 Billion from SNAP to fund tax cuts for Billionaires. With @demwomencaucus.bsky.social I called on the other side of the aisle to stop attacks on women and families and stand with moms, children, and seniors. Dump this extremist bill!

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

A Palestinian student at Columbia University went into a Vermont immigration office hoping to begin the final step to becoming a US citizen. But instead of having an interview, Mohsen Mahdawi – who’s been in the United States for a decade – was taken away in handcuffs.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene disclosed that she had purchased between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock on April 8 and 9, the day before and the day of President Trump’s announcement that he was pausing a sweeping set of global tariffs.

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back.
They think it’s funny.

The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.
Events like this puncture that delusion.
Some Ukrainians living legally in the US under a Biden-era humanitarian parole program received a notice this week from the Department of Homeland Security telling them to leave the country — a message that prompted panic and later turned out to be erroneous: cnn.it/3EaaKZW
06.04.2025 00:56 — 👍 263 🔁 105 💬 47 📌 13Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Fat-shaming the governor, telling him he looked like he ate someone, that he'd put him on the carnivore diet and get him a personal trainer. The governor smiled all through this indignation. When they show you who they are.

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency.
Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!
