More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

People keep asking "what do you expect Democrats to do???" I expect Schumer and Jeffries to hold a press conference and say: "Donald Trump is conspiring with his personal attorneys he corruptly installed at DOJ to cover up his close friendship and possible horrific crimes with Jeff Epstein." /1

"We spent an entire week defunding public television and public radio, and you mean to tell me that before we leave for the recess, we can't fund child advocacy centers, domestic violence agencies, and rape crisis centers?"

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care. It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

The bus is pulling up now. Will send footage ASAP. Organizers on site have low battery so we just used Instacart to send them a battery, cord, and some waters. Once they are charged they will go live. Please keep boosting. ❤️‍🩹

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑@50501movement.bsky.social

We have 50501 organizers on the ground right now, and they just got confirmation a bus with more detainees is coming. They also just overheard the cops on site say they have a minor in the car, so one of the detainees may be under 18. Will send more updates as we get them. Please help boost this!

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

The only strategy known to work against a fascist power grab is widespread and diverse pro-democracy organizing. We win by showing up for each other and with each other.

The lethal high-powered rifles I carried during my military service were designed for war.   Not our streets. Not our neighborhoods. Certainly not our schools.   Senate Democrats introduced legislation to revive the nationwide assault weapons ban.   It’s long overdue.

Hey media. Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are doing a sit in on U.S. Capitol steps. From social media I've that Chris Coons, Brian Schatz and Amy Klobuchar have joined them. Am sure there have been &d will be others. Do your damn job & cover this instead of bitching that Dems aren't speaking out.

Remember, Social Security is not technically part of the budget deficit. It is designed to be self supporting. Republicans just kept “borrowing” from it to pay for wars in Iraq, etc. while giving tax cuts to the rich. Now they don’t want to pay it back. #SaveSocialSecurity AND safety net programs.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

Ending the government's free, easy-to-use tax filing service means giant tax prep companies get a big boost while working families pay more.   That's what "efficiency" means to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Congressional Republicans hope you aren’t focusing on their unpopular plans to slash taxes for billionaires and billionaire corporations while gutting health care for families. So I don’t think they’d want you to share this story:
