I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Nobody said it would be easy, but Republicans found a way to cut taxes for the rich while taking away your healthcare. A story of true heroism.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest. Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

A man is being deported for using his voice. If free speech leads to detention and deportation, this is only the beginning. If Khalil isn't safe, none of us are safe. #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack
A black and white image of a grand courthouse with columns. Bold white text reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE UPDATE" at the center, with a 50501 logo in the bottom corner.A protest scene with demonstrators holding signs advocating for Mahmoud Khalil's release. The text overlay reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE JUST RULED ON." In a text box below reads “An immigration judge in Louisiana ruled on Friday that Palestinian student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil can be deported on the basis of a letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling Mahmoud’s presence a “foreign policy threat.”A man, Mahmoud Khalil stands looking serious. The overlay text asks "WHO IS MAHMOUD KHALIL?". The text box below reads "Mahmoud is a Palestinian activist. He is a permanent resident. He is a husband. He is about to become a father. His only “crime” was standing up and speaking the truth. Mahmoud’s freedom is under attack because he dared to protest. This is what happens when the government uses immigration law to crush dissent."A group of protesters holds a sign reading, “IMMIGRANTS MAKE AMERICA GREAT.” The overlay text states "ICE CONTINUES TO TEAR FAMILIES APART." The text box below reads "“US immigration ripped my soul from me,” Khalil’s wife said in Tuesday night’s statement. “Instead of putting together our nursery and washing baby clothes in anticipation of our first child, I am left sitting in our apartment, wondering when Mahmoud will get a chance to call me from a detention center.”

SCOTUS right now.
A two-panel meme using a cartoon flower character. In the top panel, the flower is angrily yelling, with the caption: "WHEN A BAKER IS ASKED TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A GAY COUPLE." In the bottom panel, the same flower is smiling calmly, with the caption: "WHEN PEOPLE ARE BLACK BAGGED AND SENT TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN EL SALVADOR." The meme contrasts public outrage over LGBTQ+ rights with apathy toward human rights abuses.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
