I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
Nobody said it would be easy, but Republicans found a way to cut taxes for the rich while taking away your healthcare. A story of true heroism.
Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?
#NOKINGS
People are being arrested for wearing a medical mask in Savannah, Georgia #NoKings
Today, let freedom ring.
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife has been forced into hiding after the Trump administration posted her address online.
@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."
🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.
Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.
A black and white image of a grand courthouse with columns. Bold white text reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE UPDATE" at the center, with a 50501 logo in the bottom corner.
A protest scene with demonstrators holding signs advocating for Mahmoud Khalil's release. The text overlay reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE JUST RULED ON." In a text box below reads “An immigration judge in Louisiana ruled on Friday that Palestinian student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil can be deported on the basis of a letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling Mahmoud’s presence a “foreign policy threat.”
A man, Mahmoud Khalil stands looking serious. The overlay text asks "WHO IS MAHMOUD KHALIL?". The text box below reads "Mahmoud is a Palestinian activist. He is a permanent resident. He is a husband. He is about to become a father. His only “crime” was standing up and speaking the truth. Mahmoud’s freedom is under attack because he dared to protest. This is what happens when the government uses immigration law to crush dissent."
A group of protesters holds a sign reading, “IMMIGRANTS MAKE AMERICA GREAT.” The overlay text states "ICE CONTINUES TO TEAR FAMILIES APART." The text box below reads "“US immigration ripped my soul from me,” Khalil’s wife said in Tuesday night’s statement. “Instead of putting together our nursery and washing baby clothes in anticipation of our first child, I am left sitting in our apartment, wondering when Mahmoud will get a chance to call me from a detention center.”
A man is being deported for using his voice. If free speech leads to detention and deportation, this is only the beginning. If Khalil isn't safe, none of us are safe. #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack
“Mommy, no. Mommy.”
Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody.
The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang.

We're tracking the number of international students whose visas have been revoked by the State Department. We've confirmed over 300 so far and there are likely many more. Get in touch if you've got information you'd like to share with us www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...
A two-panel meme using a cartoon flower character. In the top panel, the flower is angrily yelling, with the caption: "WHEN A BAKER IS ASKED TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A GAY COUPLE." In the bottom panel, the same flower is smiling calmly, with the caption: "WHEN PEOPLE ARE BLACK BAGGED AND SENT TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN EL SALVADOR." The meme contrasts public outrage over LGBTQ+ rights with apathy toward human rights abuses.
SCOTUS right now.
We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy!

🚨 WELL, HE DID IT: Trump just signed an executive order to abolish the Dept. of Ed., because apparently, an informed and educated public is just too much of a threat to his authoritarian dreams. 📜✂️

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "It's not the trans people who made you lose your job... who started a tariff war with Mexico or Canada or China... who are taking away the Department of Education... it's also not the immigrants. And it's definitely not the Black folk."
What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Is Musk demanding the data held by the Social Security Administration in order to make it more efficient? Unlikely. Here's a better explanation:

‪“Do not accept brutality and cruelty as normal even if it is sanctioned. Protect the vulnerable and encourage the afraid. If you are brave, stand up for others. If you cannot be brave — and it is often hard to be brave — be kind.”
