Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

McGovern: "Let me make a prediction. If this ugly bill passes, it's gonna get a lot uglier when people realize what's in it. And not even Donald Trump's news $300 bottle of cologne will cover the stench ... this isn't policy. It's ego management."

An URGENT Message from God!!!

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

‼️‼️

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! “Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of Culver City, CA church. Community Coalition helped family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. 20 years, loved in the community. “Hardened criminals" - my ass.” Credit: The Shallow State

History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. – Mark Twain This is pretty damn close to history repeating itself, though!

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

no accidents

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

Give me more

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

I was literally taught my whole life that if someone in plain clothes and a mask tries to detain you and refuses to identify themselves, you call 911 and you’re absolutely within your rights to not comply for safety reasons. What’s happening is kidnapping. Full stop.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Phoenix!

Resign now, Kristi Noem.

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

Fuck the cops. Fuck ICE. And if you have a problem with any of these statements fuck you too. This country was built by immigrants. This country is still running because if immigrants. And if you do not stand for them now, you never will.

BREAKING: Over 500 U.S. Marines have just been mobilized in response to the unrest in Los Angeles. They are expected to join National Guard troops already deployed by order of President Trump. The situation is rapidly escalating. Trump wants more violence.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison. I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!

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

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Stephen Miller is the key architect, leader, and planner of the destruction of American democracy. Trump has no idea what habeas corpus means. Stephen Miller is in charge. He is as gifted a liar as he is a hater. He has lied, repeatedly, and hated, repeatedly, for multiple decades.

Yesterday, Robert Prevost asked everyone to start calling him by a different name. And they did. No outrage or shaming over this request. See how easy it is to honor other people's benign wishes?

I haven't seen MAGAs this upset since a Black man was elected president 🤣

A reminder not to store red sauce in Tupperware.

🧵This is the cruelty they don’t want you to see. Yorely Bernal was deported to Venezuela. Her partner, Maiker Espinoza, exiled to El Salvador’s brutal CECOT prison camp. No criminal records. Their 2-year-old daughter, Antonella, is still in DHS custody. Read on… www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/w...

Just incredible

Something I have always been aware of but apparently some men less so - reading @jess-davies.Sky.social ‘s new book

This is how to respond to the Abrego Garcia issue! Thank you, Mayor Pete!

My name is Ben and I have autism. I’m not less than anyone else I just see the world differently. Lately I’ve been working on losing weight by walking. I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also helps with my confidence and I can enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.
