It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
If you watch one thing today, make it this. These workers are risking their lives to build our cities and getting paid like their time, safety, and dignity don’t matter. They deserve fair pay. They deserve respect.
Call ☎️ (202) 224-3121 and say something like this
“Hi, I’m calling to ask Senator [NAME] to vote NO on the nomination of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s shown he doesn’t respect court orders, and that disqualifies him from being a judge. Thank you.”
Your periodic reminder that the estimated cost to end hunger in the U.S. is $25 billion.
Kennedy: We don’t need more gun control. We need more idiot control and I don’t know how to do that.
I know this whole storyline is dumb but are people at least seeing how the right builds narrative? The WH makes a dumb accusation and immediately the right is out there on tv and social saying “hm, yes, something there, we must dig further and expose/fight it.”
"We're going to end up shooting some of them."
Comparisons with past history in the US. Not an easy read.
She’s confused. And so am I. This is nuts!
My wife just said this is straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale. Anyone know more about this?
“...in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote.”
NEW GALLUP POLL: the pendulum has swung **drastically** on immigration since last year.
🟢 just 30% want immigration decreased (55% last year)

🟢 Path to citizenship (78%) beats mass deportation (38%)
Had Joe Biden tweeted "Pete Buttigieg killed it on MSNBC this morning" and Buttigieg wasn't even on, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson would've written a book about it. Normal stuff from Trump though.
Cherry farmers in my district in The Dalles are leaving hundreds of tons of cherries to rot because workers are too afraid of ICE raids to come harvest.
This is what happens when cruelty becomes policy. It hurts everyone.

This is bullshit.
Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.
Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children.

History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. – Mark Twain
This is pretty damn close to history repeating itself, though!
A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

There it is. A photo surfaced of Trump this weekend wearing his golf clothes at Bedminster after military personnel were being deployed to the Middle East to bomb Iran.
🚨BREAKING: In a major escalation, Iran’s parliament approved closing the Strait of Hormuz, according to state TV. That decision will likely require approval from Iran’s top security body, the Supreme National Security Council.
About 20% of global oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
The bombs have fallen. The mask has fallen. And my daughter said it best:
