Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

Instead of asking the Speaker of the House if he has a view on <critical separation-of-powers QOTD>, maybe reporters should start asking him if he reads any newspapers or otherwise informs himself on those matters to which we might think the Speaker of the House ought to be paying attention?

Either Mike Johnson doesn't read the news or he's lying. He should read this story about a 10 year old US citizen with brain cancer who you and Trump deported away from her doctors. This is what your "mass deportations" are doing.

One side posted that they don't like white supremacists or Christian nationalists. The other side is threatening to kill people because they said they don't like white supremacists and Christian nationalists. Stop pretending domestic terrorists and the people they terrorize are the same.

MANKATO, Minnesota (AP) - Charlie Kirk stood 80 miles from where George Floyd was murdered, faced an overwhelmingly white audience, and declared he was going to say things "no one dares say out loud."
What followed was an avalanche of aspersions and debunked claims about Floyd, the Black man whose death at the hands of a
Minneapolis police officer set off a global reckoning over racial injustice and broad calls for change. But the white conservative agitator had a counter view: Floyd was a "scumbag," he said, unworthy of the attention.

$170 billion could end homelessness. It could fund Head Start or pay for nutritious school meals for our kids for well over a decade. But it’s instead going to Stephen Miller so he can build his mass deportation army to target our immigrant neighbors: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/stephen-mi...

Trump is honoring Purple Heart recipients at the White House the day after his VA secretary gutted his workers’ collective bargaining rights, a third of which are veterans. Hell of a way to honor our nation’s heroes—by ripping up their union contract and first amendment rights.

They could even keep an absurd amount of that money and still live like kings while alleviating these nights of pain from sooooo many people. It's insane we can make that happen.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

The usual press reach-around every fucking time someone affluent chooses to advocate for a common good is at least as old and calcified as calling Franklin Roosevelt a "traitor to his class." Sometimes, and routinely, men and women are capable of being governed by more than self-interest. Go figure.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.
A screenshot of a website laid out in a two-by-two grid:

Top-left, a line-drawing image of a cartoon woman with braided hair looking at text messages on her smartphone with a smile.

Top-right, "Text us from anywhere, anytime. Standard text messaging rates may apply." "Text 'START' to 678-678" button, "What to expect +" link.

Bottom-left, "Reach out to hear a live voice on the line." "Call us at 1-866-488-7386" button. "What to expect +" link.

Bottom-right, side-by-side line-drawing images of two cartoon people. On the left, a cartoon woman is holding her phone to her ear and looking up at the night sky. On the right, a cartoon phone agent is sitting in front of a laptop with a headset on in front of a bright, sunny sky.
