If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

In more uplifting news, 1,000 people protested ICE’s abduction of a mother and children at the home of the agency’s acting head Tom Homan.

Notably, the entire population of the town is just 1,450.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Al Green was the 1 Democrat who protested enough to get kicked out of Trump's speech. In response:
•10 Dems voted with MAGA to censure Green
•Dem leadership chastised Dem reps who protested Trump

Here's the numbers of those 10 Dems—remind them to stop voting MAGA

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

I want to thank Senator @edmarkey.bsky.social for this post - it's the first thing that's made me feel hopeful since the election.

Save this image to your phones.

Whenever you feel like things are hopeless and we can't win, look at that image.

It made me want to fight again!

Anthropic (Claude LLM) AI Company doesn’t want people using AI for their resumes or any part of Interview for software developer or IT jobs at their office. How ironic? LOL. The company says AI tools are flooding their system with bogus résumés and too many applicants. They can't find real talent

Don’t forget: the torrent of chaos is a tactic by Trump and Musk. If everyone is scattered and outraged about every single thing, we can't see as clearly and therefore can't act most effectively. Stay focused!

Women in red states- do not tell medical team in the ER that you’ve taken abortion pills.

They do not need to know, it won’t affect your treatment, it doesn’t interact with other meds & they can’t tell that you’ve taken them unless you notify them.
