🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Donald Trump proudly pardoned the Nazi who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt while storming the Capitol and beating cops to death.
Anyone who actually believes Trump's prosecuting Mahmoud Khalil because of "antisemitism and rule of law" is either lying to themselves or a closeted Nazi.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

That is genuinely hilarious. Love that for you, bud. The funny thing about civil rights is that everyone else's (and that includes cishet white men) is built into ours. No matter what happens to us, you will be right beside us. It will happen to you simultaneously. You might even go before us!

Just a reminder that in 2018, Palestinians in Gaza mounted the Great March of Return to PEACEFULLY show the world their plight. They walked, unarmed, to Israel's military fences around Gaza in peaceful protest. Israel shot 8,000 with live ammunition, killed 220 Palestinians. 36,143 in total injured.

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency.
When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House.
Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.
