the point of a billionaire tax is not to raise money on an ongoing basis. it is to make being a billionaire illegal

The number of people freaking out about this is nuts. I watched a man turn around and leave after seeing the line. Another woman had to comment about “never seeing something like this before.” Really? You have unisex bathrooms at home? That seems unusual…

This is such valuable advice and put plainly. Please take a moment.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

This plan is horrifying. This “strategy” is dehumanizing and abusive. Creating more prisons is not the answer.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Stop being so useless. Call for his impeachment! File articles of impeachment! It is literally your job.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

Such a great book!!!

A photo of Monica Isham in her court robes at her desk. She has long dark hair and is smiling at the camera. The robes appear to include patterns reflecting the fact she is the first Native American judge appointed in Sawyer County, Wisconsin.

Judge Isham’s statement deserves nationwide coverage:

“Yesterday, Judge Hannah Dugan stood on her Oath in the very building she swore to uphold it & she was arrested and charged with felonies for it. Enough is enough. I no longer feel protected or respected as a Judge in this administration.”🔥

Wisconsin Judge Monica Isham Threatens Not To Hold Court Over Hannah Dugan Arrest Wisconsin Circuit Judge Monica Isham is threatening to refuse to hold court and even raise bail on defendants because of the arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah

Monica Isham is the 1st woman & 1st minority to serve as a circuit court judge in Sawyer County.

In an email to all Wisconsin state judges she said: “If there is no support for us, l will refuse to hold court. If this costs me my job or gets me arrested, then at least I know I did the right thing.”

A screenshot of the Wisconsin Right Now story. It reads: Wisconsin Judge Monica Isham Threatens Not to Hold Court Over Hannah Dugan Arrest A picture shows a photo of both Judge Monica Isham and Judge Hannah Dugan side by side.

🚨NEW: Wisconsin judge threatens to go on strike in support of Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested by the FBI.

Monica Isham: “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE & sent to a concentration camp without the due process the constitutions we swore to support require.”👏

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.

A better world is possible.

Honestly I just hate how angry I am these days. It's totally justifiable--these people are fucking monsters (and I'm certainly not policing anyone else's anger). But I hate it, I hate that feeling. I've spent so much of my life trying to get rid of anger. It's awful to be living with it again.

He was my law school professor. He wrote the text book we had to use. Fuck this piece of shit forever.

So much this. Having a moral backbone is not “cringe” - it is literally standing up for what you believe in. I believe in the US Constitution and I will not be swayed from doing what is right.

Hell yeah! Great job by Senator Booker. Amazing speech, very inspiring.

Now let’s never mention Strom Thurmond ever again.

Thank you @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov for supporting @booker.senate.gov! We love to see it!!

Others have pointed this out already but the Booker's "stunt" is him literally Doing the Job - impassioned speechmaking is supposedly the main reason for Senators to exist and the only reason any of them from before the United States was established are remembered by name

Sen. Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and announced he’s holding it until he’s no longer physically able as a protest against Trump. It’s probably the best idea any Senate Democrat has had in months. Love it.

Yes! More of this please!

Great job Senator Booker!

"I don't like any of these extremists on the right or the left! I just think we need the basic common sense middle ground stuff, healthcare for all, taxing billionaires out of existence, trans rights, abolish ICE, all the normal stuff"

Good thing they aren’t smart.

@justinamash.bsky.social is correct.

Bombing #Yemen is unconstitutional w/o a Congressional vote.

It is immoral regardless of a vote. But unconstitutional regardless.

Hope I'm not speaking out of turn here but... I already knew the Trump administration was full of incompetent boobs. Incompetent boobage was literally what white folks voted for.

Yeah, investigate and then roll over and play dead like you did on the CR. Resign Chuck.
