Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

No one with a gun should ever have total immunity if that weapon is drawn out of the intent to terrorize, assault, or kill. Period.

Meanwhile—panels and exhibits on slavery are being removed from all government buildings, parks, and museums. Trump wants no trace of the atrocities slaves faced, the forced family separation, denial of basic freedoms, and dehumanizing treatment. All while his fascist regime is committing the same

Photographer Mostafa Bassim photographed this Minnesota boy walking home alone with a snack and randomly approached by ICE. After he was unable to produce documentation proving his citizenship, ICE told him he was under arrest. He said, "Can I just go home?" Answer: No Remember history

This is good context: Thanks, Allison.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Trump's agents gunning down U.S. Citizens in the streets and gaslighting about it despite witnesses and video evidence showing the Citizen posed no threat. How much more "dictator" can he get before we need to remove him?

ALERT: Letter from Epstein survivors: "Many of us have already received death threats and other threats of harm. We are bracing for these to escalate. We ask.. law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over these threats to investigate them and protect us"

First, this post is a Hatch Act violation. Second, if Republicans really want to end the shutdown, maybe the could start by showing up for their jobs? They don’t want to because… Epstein. Third, immigrants are already precluded from ACA subsidies. This is about healthcare costs for Americans.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges. He's a US citizen, and his family didn't know where he was. All those craven comedians who are still not speaking up, better start railing. They are coming for all of us.

🧵This should terrify everyone. The day after Trump promised "very threatening" steps against Antifa activists, Dr. Bray and his family were blocked at the boarding gate at Newark. They were told their reservations had been canceled. @mark-bray.bsky.social

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

When Trump said he likes to assault women by grabbing their genitals, we were told it's locker room talk. Then they wrote their 900 page fascism plan & we were told it was fake news. Now their 20-40 year olds have hard-ons for Hitler & we're being told kids will be kids. Fuck the #GOP #NoKings

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs. I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

We can't allow this to continue happening. It's unlawful and un-American.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts. Six people are being deported because of what they said online. Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended. It won’t stop with these six people. Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.
