I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
House Dems are ready to pass a four week funding extension in order to reach a true bipartisan agreement and keep the government open.
If you’re a teacher, professor, staff member, a parent, the time to organize is now.
The Department of Education is being liquidated. Institutions are being intimidated. Administration is capitulating and collaborating. Students are being disappeared.

These guys remind me of people I knew in grad school who would sneer at kids who went out on the weekend; they'd stay in the library, staring at the books and notes, believing that sheer willpower could produce a 4.0
Spoiler: it did not
Performance art for their fellow students - and themselves.
Why doesn't someone stop Elon Musk? Why doesn't anyone stop DOGE?
It is against the law. It is ALL against the law.
A tweet from ununusual_whales @ununusual_whales with a breaking news headline: 'BREAKING: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the President Trump at his Florida compound, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting, per WIRED.'
Bribes. They’re known as bribes.
Genesis 1 tells us that humans were created in the image of God, Imago Dei. Imago DEI. In the image of diversity, equity and inclusion. H/T to Rev. Dr. Quintin Robertson. And there’s my sermon inspiration. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #resist
A tweet from Jesus Freakin CONG @TheJFreakINC stating: 'Eric Trump funneled children’s cancer charity money to his business, and associates. Sick people.' It includes a quoted tweet from Eric Trump @EricTrump saying: 'Think about the Democrats not even standing or clapping for a 15 year old boy who survived cancer. Sick people.'
They can’t pretend they’re suddenly for cancer research just because they brought a kid to Congress. Sheesh.
ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.”
Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.
This man may be the richest person in the world, but he might be the poorest example of humanity on this planet.
I pity him.
As an aside: He proves Jesus' point about two masters, camels and needles, etc...
Trump filled the audience with people to use as props to put Democrats in the position either of looking supportive and standing up and clapping, or looking churlish by remaining seated. Staying seated was the right choice.
This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.
No human being is ever "waste, fraud, and abuse."
And yes, they insist on dehumanizing real people into order to carry out their destruction of the government.
For god's sake
Proud of the @LeagueofWomenVoters for sponsoring!

I remember the wonderful days when such displays of unity were led by the United States, not aimed at it.
And just like that, overnight, there’s a US-Russia axis. If you made a movie out of this people would say it’s an absurd premise
Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.
What happened to Little Marco?
Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.
Let that sink in.
Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.
I feel a revolution coming. Do you hear the people sing ?
Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.
The show must go on.
"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
When I was a teenager in an evangelical church in Arizona, my pastor would have used this as an illustration of the Antichrist.

Please do. Let's get him some posts from queer and trans people too...those are personal liberty stories right?
These people are truly evil.
Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.
Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.
In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.
