Trump sends his ICE thugs into a polling place in NY as an intimidation tactic!🚨 ICE officers harassed Paigelynne Gonyea, an election worker, in Syracuse New York, for posting that Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good on social media. Fortunately, the people around her had her back.

Let’s get this feeling back in the White House.

Fonda: This isn’t the first time that Americans’ rights have come under attack. But this time, what is really different from the last century is that the attacks are coming from every part of the government: the executive, the legislative, and the Supreme Court.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

The names & allegations in the Epstein files deserve full transparency, regardless of party, wealth, or status. The survivors deserve facts, transparency & equal accountability under the law! #SheShed #StandWithSurvivors #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #KeepTalkingAboutTheEpsteinFiles

Once again Jimmy Fallon has done it! The IRS audits millions of Americans. If a president & their family are exempt from scrutiny, that’s not transparency, it’s privilege! Equal justice under law isn’t a slogan. It’s a principle. Either it applies to everyone, or it doesn’t! #SheShed #JimmyFallon

Right on!!

This morning, SEIU members with @32bjseiu.bsky.social took to the streets in front of Palantir's NYC office with a clear demand: End Palantir's collaboration with ICE! ICE has been terrorizing our families, and Palantir is the backbone of their data operations. Union workers say it must end!

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

Medical emergencies at Delaney Hall go untreated. Mental health crises are met with isolation, not care. This is torture and the Trump administration and their Republican enablers in Congress pretend that nothing is happening. Keep sounding the alarm. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

What is happening at Delaney Hall is what makes America worthy of claiming ourselves "home of the brave." People taken captive simply for who they are rising up against their abductors - at great personal peril. May they act as an example for us all. #BraveOfUS

More absolute, essential truth. And, yes, of course, this regime is incapable of shame or even recognition of their evils but speaking truth is how we call each other into a more sustained and vigorous fight.

Every syllable of this. So absolutely refreshing to hear the truth spoken. A political party tries to court your vote. And an authoritarian regime tries to keep people from voting because they know they cannot win.
