For the love of God, stop saying this regime's ruthless authoritarianism "raises questions" and start telling us what answers you have for us. If you can't do that, get the fuck out of the way.

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

If you're from these districts, ask the MoC whether, LIKE MUSK, they believe there's a gene for whiteness that Jews don't have. And reach out to local press and make sure they know about Elon's comment.

¡Cálmate! SCOTUS didn't rule this executive order legal, nor did it grant election power to the President. It just said the lower court's block came too early—a ruling on timing, not power. The Constitution grants election authority to states, not Trump or the USPS.
