An attack on one of us is an attack on all.
This administration uses racism, hate, and fear—openly and repeatedly—as tools of control.
We will not be silent. Read our statement:

55 years in the fight against hate. Still pushing forward.
We’re ready for what comes next.
Not alone in this work.
Together, we will confront injustice. www.splcenter.org/beacon-hope-...
The SAVE Act – which would require documents like a passport or birth certificate to #RegisterToVote –has failed in the Senate.

A new proposed HUD rule would eliminate the right of mixed-status families to continue living together in HUD-assisted housing. If implemented, the proposed rule would have devastating consequences on the lives of children. Read our full statement below:

Make some calls to help us elect Dr. Jasmine Clark to Congress! The upcoming primary election is less than a month away, so we’re contacting voters in GA-13 to send a real fighter for families and a defender of democracy to the House.
NEW: The 2016 Supreme Court memos and the mess that John Roberts has made of his court.
The New York Times scoop about the Clean Power Plan case SCOTUS memos highlights the conservative justices' brazen disregard for their own rules — both then and now.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
A federal judge in Illinois today ruled that the Trump administration improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
“This committee is..the starting point to guidelines..for the election equipment that they use to vote in every single state...It’s not..partisan...And if you don’t have the right experts guiding that, it puts the entire process at risk.” @democracydocket.com

#OTD in 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his Letter from Birmingham Jail while imprisoned for protesting segregation. He argued that injustice must be confronted, not postponed, a message that still resonates today and across our work.
Stop ICE warehouse detention - National Day of Action, April 25th host an action, image with protest signs that read: no ice warehouse, not here not anywhere, shut down detention centers
ICE wants to cage up to 10,000 people in industrial warehouses — spaces built for goods, not human beings. On April 25, we fight back! Host a #CommunitiesNotCages action in your city: bit.ly/nowarehousea...

🚨The House voted to extend TPS for Haitians, protecting more than 330,000 people from family separation.
Thank you to the bipartisan coalition who made this possible.
Now the Senate must act.
Tell Congress to finish the job👇

We can’t wait until Trump tries stealing the midterms to flex our collective economic muscle. That’s why May Day is so important.
Morris County votes so far in NJ-11 are only D+22 by registration, yet Analilia Mejia (D) is winning them by 31. This is exactly what we saw in WI and GA last week.
It’s not just a turnout advantage in these specials, there’s real persuasion going on.
The U.S. House passes Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s legislation to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.
IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti.
This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors.
To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you.
The Senate must pick this up without delay.
This is bigger than one state.
Virginia can send a message that we won’t let anti-democratic power grabs go unanswered.
Vote YES and defend fair maps. #VoteYesForVirginiaLive
“We want the county commissioners to see — and have to step over — what they’re bringing and rolling out the red carpet for here in Hagerstown,” said @dattil.io, founder of Hagerstown Rapid Response. Via @98rock.bsky.social

Allowing Pam Bondi to evade the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena threatens to send the message that powerful former officials and Trump allies are above the law. www.theusconstitution.org/news/cac-rel...
Justin Smith is a Trump true believer who demonstrates unfettered loyalty to him. His biased statements show he doesn't possess the judicial independence necessary to preside over a federal court that covers seven states. The Senate must reject his nomination. #StopJustinSmith #UnfitAndUnqualified
"The coming weeks and months and even years are going to be difficult, but it is essential to realize what the people of Hungary made clear on Sunday: It can end if the people stand together."
@lawdorknews.bsky.social
Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥
Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.
1/4 Right wing influencers are pushing Harmeet Dhillon to be our new US Attorney General. This means less protection for “we the people” —Dhillon did Bondi’s bidding & will keep undermining civil rights & our laws, not use them to protect us. @civilrightsorg
“The harms of detaining children are known and well documented. Court filings of abuse against children have included refusals to provide clean water, rotten food contaminated with worms, dangerous medical neglect,” as well as “retaliation against families protesting the inhumane conditions.”

Image of trees behind black background. Text reads, “This administration is spending ~$1 billion PER DAY on war. Meanwhile, all 433 national parks sites operate on just ~$9.5 million per day. 3-4 days of war spending equals 1 year of national parks. This isn't about affordability, it's about priorities.”

The proposed FY2027 budget includes a ~25% cut to the National Park Service, along with major reductions to other public land agencies.
Wisconsin showed up 👏👏👏
A victory for Judge Chris Taylor — and with it, a 5–2 pro-democracy majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
That majority will shape election rules, redistricting maps, and voting access in a critical swing state through 2030.
