Democratic members of Congress are not bound by oaths to protect sources/congregants/patients like journalists, priests, and doctors are.
If your GOP colleagues are saying privately that they decry what ICE or Trump is doing, time to name names.

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

BREAKING: Another avoidable American mass shooting.
Early reports indicate 20 people or more may have been shot at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
It’s never too early to politicize this for a safer America. No other country in the world does this happen so often.

Cranston's schools already spend $3K less per student than the state average and lags in teacher pay. CPSD cut $2.4M already and may lose more if federal cuts hit. Hopkins has flat-funded for years, now giving 40% less than CPSD’s $3.9M ask. Tell the finance committee to fully fund our schools!

There have been multiple questionable removals of immigrants from the US to El Salvador that were deprived the right to due process. The reason this right exists for all in the US is to protect citizens as much as non-citizens. W/o this the gov can send you away with no verifiable proof.

In the wealthiest country in the world we ask too much of the lower class and too little of the wealthiest among us. Tax the rich, and tax them a lot. That is how you rebuild a flourishing middle class in America. This is how we allow the max number of Americans to access true freedom and dignity.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered "bad" in the Catholic tradition
MAJOR BREAKING: Pope Francis has written a letter to US Bishops saying he’s following “major crisis” of “mass deportations;” takes on Vance saying “The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan”

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

LETTER: We sent a letter to Brown Uni. administrators, condemning their 3-month “interim” suspension of a student group, Students for Justice in Palestine, stifling student speech.
With this suspension, the University has given itself exceptional power to undercut any political org. on campus.
