Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.
Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens.
Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth.
Do you think Marco will now self-deport?
This is worse than a concentration camp. This is like a cattle pen. #AbolishICE
“Imagine if we had to follow the law”
Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.
What an excellent idea!
If anyone has old sport’s trophies 🏆 or medals 🥇 may I suggest sending them to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in DC.
Not just disappointed. Very disappointed.
The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."
Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.
Cruelty isn’t strength.
Reject it.
Always.
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.

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.
It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

I’m just glad it went to someone standing up for democracy instead of tearing it apart!
So sorry for your loss!
Fighting corruption is not a distraction from defending democracy; it's an impotant part of it. www.thebulwark.com/p/anti-corru...
Letitia James speaks after this fake indictment.😏
Now they’re indicting Letitia James…the woman who finally held Trump’s feet to the fire. You can smell the revenge all the way from Mar-a-Lago. This isn’t justice…it’s payback wrapped in paperwork. And every American with a brain knows it.
All to cover up the Epstein files.
Banana republic shit.
If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.
The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation
