This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.
And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.
New from me at @brennancenter.org:
We need candidates who fall firmly into “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” overlap.
Call your City Council Members to demand they pass PAUSE EVICTIONS, SAVE LIVES! The wards in pink need EXTRA PRESSURE. Map of Minneapolis Wards with Ward 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, and 13 highlighted in pink.

POV: you *finally* find time on a WFH day to make The Perfect Sandwich™️, only to discover that your children have eaten all of the good chips.
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%).
But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)
I'm asking in all seriousness, who has a direct line to Bruce Springsteen to ask if he can donate $100,000?
Coverage of Andy Barr, a sitting Congressman and candidate for U.S. Senate, running an ad declaring, "It's not a sin to be white" -- a variation of a notorious white nationalist slogan

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Oh, okay. I'll bite.
The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution.
The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.
Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.
It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.
Vought is a mass murderer.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I can confirm this is true and I can also say that the lack of an eviction moratorium is fueling this trend.
so much of our present misery is just a giant, prolonged backlash to integration
I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.
The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
His GoFundMe is here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-le... - I donated a few days ago.
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.
Abolish the billionaire class:
please watch:
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.
