I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

For years, the Trump admin has launched slanderous attacks against Rep. Omar. This morning, the administration sent federal officials to raid her home. We cannot and will not accept this unprecedented abuse of power. I stand with @repilhan.bsky.social. apnews.com/article/ilha...

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

If your politics require you to stop seeing someone as human the moment you learn their immigration status, something is very wrong with you!

A tiny bit of gentle advice for the men: before you try to explain or pontificate anything about the Cornell 7 to a woman, please remember chances are she’s already an expert 🙏🏻

NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

Horrific though unsurprising report from @propublica.org: Ectopic pregnancy deaths have basically doubled since the end of Roe

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Glad the Senator is on this. We all need to end this.

if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...

Perfect description. One additional comment. The movie is a blast, and once it starts rolling the audience is free from the whiners.

not really fourth of july content but i found thus explanation of affordable housing financing in DC very informative.

One sense of how skewed our political reality is comes as Mamdani says anodyne things that the GOP presidential nominees from 1976-2012 would have all agreed with, like “We should rely on due process for the burning of witches,” and everyone screams, “Leftist Commie! Red Commie!”

This is a succinct and damning report on the corruption of the Great American State Fair. It also has the cleanest explanation of the split between Freedom 250 and America250 that I've seen anywhere. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/the-gre...

Yes! This whole speech is a breath of fresh air. And the response to it demonstrates how desperate we are for such oxygen. Every moment Dems demonstrate a commitment to freedom over fascism, we are so ready to receive it.

Lysenkoism of the '40s caused devastating famines, 15-25M deaths, lost scientific advancement & brain drain. What an expensive mistake. At stake in 2026- The loss of scientific advancement, our ability to address health challenges & more. An important read. 🧪🧵 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

It shouldn't be easier for ICE to deploy pepper spray and riot gear than to provide medical support and quality food.

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

Days after a trans University of Washington student was killed in off-campus student housing, the UW chapter of Turning Point USA is hosting ex-trans activist Chloe Cole. Students are organizing at counter protest outside Kane Hall at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, 5/13

More & more eligible low-income people are losing SNAP because of H.R. 1’s bureaucratic hurdles, including this mom who has tried for months to get her family’s benefits back while working & caring for 2 young kids. Keep in mind: SNAP benefits average about $6 per person per day.

Just a reminder that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was called, "An act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States."

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Deportation is a matter of life-and-death for 350,000+ Haitian nationals in the U.S. That is why I am proud to have voted to pass @pressley.house.gov’s legislation to extend Haiti TPS and give our neighbors the critical protections they deserve.

Any republican voter represented by republicans who knows a person in the military, they love or like, should think hard about their votes in the next election.

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Pretty wild that basically every DNC pundit and insider has been spending the past week debating if "Hasan too far left for the left" while the fascist pedophile president is openly announcing genocide

Rabioso.

“Chronic hunger” at American concentration camps reported by USA Today. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each. It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

Read the story. Nobody is safe until all of this stops. Some of us are more vulnerable and some of us are likelier targets, but we are all less safe, while this evil is around us.

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

America is mass producing crimes against humanity.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

We are publishing a running list of deaths and woundings as a result of the interior enforcement blitzkrieg across the country. That includes deaths during apprehension and deaths in custody. This will be consistently updated. Currently, there are 8 dead, 9 wounded, & 35 deaths in custody.

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/28/t...

Appreciation post for our legal observers holding it down and putting their lives on the line to protect their neighbors. The tide is turning against ICE. Some Republicans are speaking out. Hold the line. Stay peaceful. Keep exercising your First Amendment rights.

Yup. Litmus tests are back
