Nothing in the Constitution allows a sitting president to interfere with our free and fair elections, thank you @marcelias.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

Stay lawful, stay calm.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse backfired. It prompted Ohio’s largest newspaper, The Plain Dealer, to reverse its policy on political endorsements and endorse Acton for governor.

US sitting president talks about various people's body parts instead of working to end war. People at his rallies laugh as if people's actual chances to stay alive weren't involved. Vote.

I'm extraordinarily grateful to Kaylub Giamanco, who chose to act and save lives at the recent Oregon school shooting. No one should bear this sorrow; he was very articulate about his grief. Please take time. also, to consider the people who died: 3 children, and a teacher.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Not everything is for sale. Our parks and wilderness preserve who we are.

Earlier this month our legal team won the first large-scale border wall injunction in decades to pause all border wall construction in Big Bend. Now, the Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court for a green light to bulldoze one of America’s wildest, most extraordinary landscapes.

SCOTUS just ruled that transgender inmates must be provided gender affirming care, per NPR. I'm thankful,after a 10 year correspondence with with one of those inmates as a a reference librarian. Be free to be who you are.

3rd generation atheist here, I've got a Buddhist and nominal Catholic in my family. We all support equal access to health care for girls and women, including everything related to our female rights. Vote no to future Irish laundries.

If you have want to vote, have legal immigration status, are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, in college, trying to pay rent or buy a home, want to access government services, oppose wars, or get food and health care, this administration is the obstacle. Long list.

Wikipedia: "Roy resigned from his job as a special assistant U.S. attorney after six months to be a ghostwriter on then-Governor of Texas Rick Perry's 2010 book Fed Up! and work for Perry's 2012 presidential campaign" so yes.

I'm a librarian now; my favorite earlier career was working with artists with disabilities through VSA Arts. VSA Arts was defunded under Trump 1.0 with little media attention. Shout out to my disability community!

On April 5, 1977, people with disabilities occupied government buildings across the country with simple demands: access to education, jobs, and public spaces. It has been fifty years since the Section 504 sit-ins, but the fight for those with disabilities continues.

Can somebody please summon the fierce ghosts of Teddy Roosevelt and Frederick Law Olmstead right now--

The problem is she trusted them in the first place. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes took the Trump administration at its word as she oversaw a lawsuit over plans to renovate Washington’s historic East Potomac Golf Course.

Hard to watch but important to watch.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

Good group.

Ossoff: "What worries me right now is complacency about this race in Georgia, overconfidence about this race in Georgia. There's no such thing as a landslide victory in the state of Georgia. This remains the crucial battleground state."

I'm reading Gladwell "The American Way of Killing" and arguing that that there is a way to stop this killing.

UPDATE: Police confirm multiple victims, including children, in the Silver Rail Elementary School shooting in Bend, Oregon. The shooter was reportedly shot and killed.

The ACLU and Common Cause have established observers in place. Everyone should vote their conscience as usual. I volunteer as a monitor and feel calm.

🚨BREAKING: With the threat of federal election interference looming large over the midterms, Senate Democrats plan to send more than 100 congressional staff to observe voting sites in nine states — the first program of its kind for the upper chamber. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm not getting this in my state; this should be nationwide.

This year alone, New Yorkers have reported more than 188,000 incidents of domestic violence. That's 780 incidents every day. Countless others go unreported. If you or someone you love needs help, call 1-800-621-HOPE or visit on.nyc.gov/hotlinechat.

Agentic AI is not a monolith. It's a series of wealthy, primarily ultra rich white male people, making decisions about what information they will allow us to have in the US.

I'd support Governor Josh Shapiro for fairness, calm, and rational discourse. Don't forget to vote for kindness @governor.pa.gov

President Obama’s message to Pennsylvania voters: Today, it’s more important than ever we elect leaders with the decency and integrity and willingness to fight back. We need leaders like Josh Shapiro.
