By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran. More here: www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...

I found this excellently written article to be a great description of why people saying democrats aren’t doing anything is wrong. This is what I remember journalism being. Education and clear writing. The only complaint I have is the clickbaity title. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

A concentration camp is defined by Encyclopedia Brittanica as an internment center for political prisoners & members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree. Auschwitz wasn't in Germany.

I just woke from a nightmare. I worked at congress (I don’t). Some were unexpectedly voting to destroy the country. They had chips put in their brains and convinced people all over the govt to get the chip. This is a common sci-fi theme, but it doesn’t feel completely unrealistic anymore honestly.

I work in federal spaces and got an email stating that everyone has to use the bathroom and locker rooms of their biological sex based on the EO. I wish I could create a coalition of people that just started using whichever bathroom treating them all like unisex bathrooms like the EO requires.

I have decided to stop using or accepting the phrases “we are in a coup” or “we are heading for a coup/constitutional crisis” and similar. Because we aren’t. The coup is over. It happened. We either accept it and go on with life or we take the government back. I feel calmer.

It just keeps getting crazier and crazier

They are trying to segregate students. This is a major event and I don’t know if citizens without kids realize the impact this will have on our society. It will take time to be realized but the experts are already ringing alarming. Fight back. Resist. #wearetheflood

IDEA, FAPE, and section 504 protect students with disabilites. "If you think your child has been discriminated against because of a disability, there are steps you can take. You can file a complaint to the (OCR) for the U.S. Department of Education." But what happens when there is no DOE?

Do what you can and take care of yourselves and your families. But if you can, get out on 5 April to a march near you to peacefully protest and tell the world that this government does not have a mandate and that violating our rights will not be tolerated. #wearetheflood mobilize.us/s/GO5SLD

The president issued an EO and stated that the Dept of Ed will no longer manage special education. But the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) can barely go a few sentences without providing specific requirements for the Sec of Ed or offices in the Dept. of Ed. An EO won't do it.

We are grieving the dying constitution. People are Denying, Angry, Bargaining, Depressed. All of those are valid, don’t ignore those, but we need everyone to get to “Accepting”, so we can get together and support each other through community service and protests and other productive actions
