I feel this in my soul. The heartbreak is real. The panic is real. The sleepless nights and nightmares are real. 💔
Looking at what we’ve become is truly soul-crushing. Trump and vile MAGA Republicans must be stopped.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The transcript of the MN hearing where an AUSA said “This job sucks” is remarkable for more reasons than that. It’s a searing portrait of a crisis perpetrated by depraved & oblivious high-level officials. Read it all. ...

Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, is now addressing the breakfast at the hotel, where Trump is also slated to speak.
At the one on the Hill, Senate Chaplain Barry Black is speaking instead.
Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
I just read the declaration that Kira Kelley asked J. Blackwell to consider.
This immigrant describes being
-unlawfully arrested
-taken from one overcrowded & filthy prison to another over 19 days
-held incommunicado
& ICE never telling him a court ordered his release
He describes an American gulag

I don't know when I last read something like the transcript out of Minnesota, so I spent the evening putting this together.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.
Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

Bezos is gutter trash.
The hometown newspaper that I read as a teenager through Watergate and Vietnam and made me crave the life of a reporter is now being butchered by a billionaire who had $75 million to bribe and flatter a president and his wife but nothing to save journalism, an bulwark of the republic itself. Got it.
Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?
Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

This in Fahrenheit.
Imagine living here without electricity or without heat—or both—and with your notifications looking like this.
France has saved us before.
this literally looks like a scene from THE FIRST PURGE
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets
All 83,000 acres of an Alabama National Forest.
I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless.
So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms.
These are your lands.
These are the stakes.

The proposal to open all 83,000 acres of Conecuh National Forest to oil and gas leasing raises serious questions about risk and reward.
The forest has low development potential, minimal existing leasing, and acknowledged environmental risks.
Yet climate impacts aren’t addressed.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

When climate change makes homeowners' insurance unattainable, houses unmortgageable, and reduces incomes, jobs, and economic growth, the costs of complacency become existential.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.
Elon Musk’s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent.
In 17 tests, Grok generated images after being told they would be used to degrade the person.
www.reuters.com/business/des...Once you understand that the administration is a criminal enterprise, you can grasp that there is no way to serve it with honor. If you are in it, it’s impossible not to be at least an accessory to many crimes.
Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws.
Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company.
Funny how that works, huh?
Trump reversed decades of national security objections to selling advanced AI chips to UAE. National security experts were alarmed.
But there was a secret. Before the deal, UAE had sent $187M to the Trumps and $31M to the Witkoffs in secret payments.
Mind blowing corruption.
This is the facility I was denied entry to a week ago - even though I'm the top Democrat on the committee that funds DHS and I gave them plenty of notice.
I told you they were hiding something. They were.
The king of law firm capitulators was also apparently an Epstein fanboy.

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.
Just a reminder that our rapist President, who partied with a pedophile, sold out America and weakened our national security for millions from the UAE.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.
