Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.

These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

This Is Fascism.

If we are to believe, for sake of argument, that an admiral took it upon himself to execute the boat strike survivors, what is his alleged motive? Also, why did no one resist a clearly illegal order? This makes no sense.

It's now been two weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Reminder that the Trump regime still hasn't told us if border czar Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he took in an undercover bribery sting that was shut down by Trump's DOJ. They haven't even told us if Homan paid taxes on the $50,000 in taxpayer money he shouldn't have taken in the first place.

Bernie Sanders: If we had a rational system designed to improve life, education could be free from childcare to graduate school. We can have universal health care. We can lead the world in transforming our energy system. We can build affordable and low income housing.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

He said he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. He said he was going to put “America first.” He said he would be a peacemaker. What is true is that Trump has turned over American diplomacy to a billionaire Manhattan real estate mogul.

Why clergy should risk assault to protest ICE
(RNS) — For people wanting to experience God, we are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church.

All the President's Women.
Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

I helped introduce a bill to fully repeal Republicans' cuts to SNAP—the largest cuts in history. 

SNAP is an investment in people and a commitment we make that, in the richest country on earth, kids and families should not be forced to go hungry.

When news media share Homeland Security's version of incidents during immigration enforcement, they need to remind the public that the feds have been caught lying repeatedly about what happened.

My concern is, just like the #metoo movement the survivors of sexual trauma as well as trafficking, will be pushed underground once the fire has died down.

Wow 😮 A federal magistrate judge overseeing the criminal case against former F.B.I. director James B. Comey just issued a ruling stating that “government misconduct may have tainted the grand jury proceedings” that led to his indictment. We expected this, but here it is.
