For 50+ years, @splcenter.org has served as a bulwark against hate, extremism, and white supremacy.
The Justice Department is deliberately targeting them because this important work and we denounce today's indictment.
Tonight was a repudiation of overreach from this admin and Congress. On the only two redistricting efforts that went to the people, and not powered through a rigged legislature, people voted for fairness. Virginia voters turned out to protect our democracy.

Today is a good day for democracy 💥
Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Mike Johnson tried to rig midterms… and still took the L.
Virginia voters understood the assignment. They saw it for what it was and obliterated it.
They can start with Trump👇🏼

The Felon is gaming the system at the expense of incredible risk for our military. What the hell? 🤯
Students' right to be free from religious indoctrination is protected by the Constitution.
We won't stop fighting.

"Why Can’t US Build 5-Minute E.V. Chargers?"
Answer: Lacks both
-batteries capable of charging quickly
-chargers that can deliver power from grid quickly

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP: Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other. President DONALD J. TRUMP
⚠️ Trump extends ceasefire but also maintains blockade:
“It will take one to four years to replenish these inventories and several years after that to expand them to where they need to be." trib.al/jlStlIB
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
The Oil Shock is about to hit the United States…
Democrats should get louder in championing clean energy’s affordability and resilience from global shocks, according to some of the party’s leading voices on the climate.

And by "illegal activity", Trump simply means: Trump doesn't like them. US Treasury sections aren't international recognized and thus have absolutely no basis in international law. Trump trying to manufacture legitimacy for his illegal war.

'Uber for Nurses' apps are lobbying aggressively against regulations as they expand across the US.
They include allowing workers to "bid" on gig shifts with the lowest wage bid winning the gig

The president, firmly cemented in la-la land, is littering his Truth Social feed with surveys from pro-Trump pollsters that claim Americans overwhelmingly supported the offensive (they don’t), and Newsmax stories that declared he had “already won the war.” trib.al/5IykDeP
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
"Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told me she saw 1,500 detainees housed in cages at the site, a cage area that smelled like urine, and one cage configuration where detainees appear to have no option but to go to the bathroom in front of everyone."
