Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”
Hell yeah!
I love hearing your anecdotes. Keep them coming!
This is a terror campaign, make no mistake about it.
A paramilitarized group is grabbing people and when the public insists on seeing a warrant, the “serve and protect” folks charge in and rough up 16 year old girls.
Have they been reading about the SA/SS, or are they just going on instinct?
I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.
Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.
Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not.
Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS
Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.
Tim Walz: "You you claim to love freedom but want to restrict certain groups, you don’t love freedom. You love privilege." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #MomSky
They’d be trying to impeach her because they didn’t like her pantsuit.
Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy
“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.”
― Toni Morrison
Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification.
I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….
At First Corinthian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York, a therapist was fielding 10 calls a week from parents of teens who needed mental health help. Now the church is part of a national pilot intervention and study to address suicide risk among Black teens.
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
If the word "inclusion" makes your ass mad, I'm sorry for you. Go relearn that shit at your nearest Kindergarten, if it hasn't already been defunded and whatnot.

This saddens me.
Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."
Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid
First, it was bathrooms, then sports, and now they’re getting to what they really wanted — the complete erasure of the trans community.
Also, if you think this is going to stop at trans people, you are deeply mistaken.
What in the hell is he doing?
He’s losing his base (people like me) quicker than he won us. I don’t think he appreciates that. Does he think we will forget our values because he has nice hair?
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social what are you thinking right now???
This is absolutely insane.
I’ve always loved your books. And now I know why! You’re awesome. Keep up the great work!
I just signed up for the 2025 Trans Rights Readathon!
An annual call to action to book lovers in support of Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31st. They are calling on the reader community to read and uplift books written by and/or featuring trans characters

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff
What’s sad, George, is that Newsom used to be a Navalny. He sold out.
