They’re chasing quotas, not criminals! The former head of Chicago’s immigration court, fired by Trump, is finally speaking out. A new lawsuit accuses the administration of unlawfully targeting documented immigrants who were already showing up to court, just so ICE could hit arrest quotas.

Imagine being disappeared in one dictatorship, making it to America, and then being disappeared again

Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran... Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

This is an insanely reckless move with terrifyingly massive consequences, and it's happening without congressional approval. Stop the needless, endless war.

To every member of Congress tonight: We don’t need 200+ words. We need 3 sentences. 1. Trump’s strike on Iran was unauthorized & unconstitutional 2. Congress must reassert its war powers—immediately 3. I support the War Powers Resolutions in the House and Senate No war with Iran. Full stop.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Evangelicals are raised in a religion that demands they acquiesce to an authoritarian. Whether it’s their father, their pastor, or their president — they are indoctrinated to submit.

A few months ago, a hacker got into UVA‘s payroll system and managed to steal my January paycheck. UVA and @uvalaw.bsky.social are refusing to reissue me my check and, as far as I know, have done nothing to fix the security lapses. Please RT so other employees know to take precautions. 1/

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.

My first postdoc was an NSF funded position at Harvard working with John Huchra on the 2MASS redshift survey - people in that same situation finishing their PhD right now presumably just lost their job.

Texas! @frankstrong.bsky.social put together this incredible guide to defending the right to read in your upcoming elections! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Israel is currently starving at least 2 million people. The UK government is demanding Israel allow food and aid to reach civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law. Meanwhile the Trump led US is intervening in favour of Israel to continue the mass starvation and cut of aid.

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a “scenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

I serve on the board of the Portland Playhouse and I’ve expected that we’d get hit eventually. Joe Turner's Come and Gone by the great August Wilson is a wonderful piece of American art, but it’s not a surprise why the government would not see it that way.

An examination of more than 1,200 federal judges and state supreme court justices turned up dozens of judges who chose not to recuse when facing potential appearances of impropriety involving familial financial connections. (Published July 2024)

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

NEW: "There cannot be democracy where lawyers are punished and lambasted simply for engaging with the justice system in representing clients opposed to the present administration." Trump's attack on the rule of law: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-atta...

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

Was speaking at an iftar last night and noted that no religion encourages people to be selfish, mean or hateful. But there are lots of politicians who drape themselves in religion to spread their hatred. Speaker Johnson is only the latest iteration.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

INGRATES! Canada Remembers.

The fact that no one is up in arms about co-ed dressing rooms in stores means the bathroom panic is manufactured

In America an ugly chapter has begun. We understand that this is our time to stand for our principles -no matter the cost. We see fear-we see cowardice. And we see courage too. This moment calls for moral fortitude & clarity. We are wide awake now. Our best selves are rising to meet the moment.

letter from the biggest federal employee union: "AFGE members have concluded that a widespread government shutdown has been underway since January 20 and will continue to spread whether senators vote yes or no on HR 1968" talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bigge...

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

All that power, but making health care harder to access for the poor is what they pick. Sounds like whatever the opposite of Christian is.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
