Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

Imagine seeing families across the country struggle to get by and thinking the solution is to double their health insurance premiums.

That’s the Republican party right now.

Presidents get too much credit when the American economy is strong & too much blame when it isn’t. But in the case of farmers who can’t sell crops, Trump clearly gets 100% of the blame. Rare when you can point to economic disaster in a sector directly attributable to a president.

Resistance doesn’t require grand gestures, @elienyc.bsky.social‬ reminds us. But what you do now is what you would have done in history’s darkest hours. "So who do you want to be?"

Trump wants to strip us of our humanity– making every act of kindness an act of defiance. "Do something." #Velshi

‘Do something. Pick something. Do not be silent in this moment’: Elie Mystal

From small protests in Trump country to fiery town halls and crowded courthouses in major cities, ordinary citizens are standing up for democracy—one act of courage at a time. As Elie Mystal reminds us, resistance doesn’t require grand gestures– every act of defiance, however small, throws a wrench into authoritarianism. In the face of Trump’s “cruelty,” even “acts of kindness turn out to be acts of resistance.” The call is simple but urgent, Mystal says: do something, choose something, and refuse to be silent.

Emmett Till was accused of whistling at a white woman at a grocery store in rural Mississippi.

He was abducted by Roy Bryant and John William “J. W.” Milam, who tortured and killed him in a barn. His body was later found in the Tallahatchie River.

An all-white male jury acquitted them.

Emmett Till Investigation Records Released 70 Years Later

Days ahead of the 70th anniversary of his killing, the federal government made public thousands of pages of records on the lynching of Emmett Till.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics

Brucie is 2 years old and 76 lbs. He’s a big boy who doesn’t really understand that he’s a big boy. He can be a little over the top giving love but he’s working on it.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
