As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

Glad to see that @booker.senate.gov has the OVARIES to stand up and #resist We need more of this. Consider that a challenge @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Show us you also have the ovaries to stand up and fight
What @corybooker.com just did on the Senate floor is exactly what we need. If Democrats can’t meet this moment, then they must step aside. We need warriors and if you aren’t one, then this isn’t your time.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Bynum: What they’re trying to do is keep people suspicious of education and keep people undereducated. An educated populace can challenge its government, and they don’t want that.

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law.
I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs.
Stay away at this time.

Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared.

And we will remember their names.

Really ominous. Earlier this month someone threatened a sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett with a mail bomb. The escalating verbal attacks by Trump and his GOP allies against judges whose rulings they dislike are going to lead to violence www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

Federal judges are worried that online threats against those who oversee high-profile cases challenging Trump administration policies may lead to real-world violence.

So controlling bodies isn’t enough, now it’s appearances. Fuck this shit
We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Every accusation is a confession. GOP does this kind of thing on the regular. I’m still waiting for that Soros check from a referendum I worked on…it’s been 2yrs.
Mike Johnson: "The problem is they're being ambushed by right now by in many cases paid protesters. You've got George Soros-funded groups. They are very well organized ... the actual constituents of these Republican members can't actually make it into the arenas."

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

This is classic. Anytime you don’t fall in line with the GOP and their garbage clearly you’re being paid to dissent. Morons.
Trump claims upset Republican voters are “paid troublemakers.”

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.
