Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Tomorrow is a critical day for democracy in court. Compare how the Washington Post framed it vs Democracy Docket.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Instead of working to reopen the government and lower health care costs, House Republicans are taking their FOURTH week of vacation.

@repmcgovern.bsky.social and I are going to keep showing up—even when Republicans don't—to make sure every family has access to affordable health care.
