GOOD NEWS WHEREVER YOU CAN GET IT ALERT: We’ve entered the stretch where the days get longer really fast. Daylight got 1.5 hours longer over the last 60 days, but it will get 2.5 hours longer over the next 60 days. (Exact amounts vary by location, but in this hemisphere, it’s all good.)
“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

I just read your piece— really powerful. Thank you for sharing it.
Photographer @mostafabassim1 photographed this boy walking home alone with a snack being "randomly" approached by DHS. "After he was unable to produce documentation proving his citizenship, agents informed him that he was under arrest." He said, "Can I just go home?" Answer: No.
Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader
A can't miss conversation between two of the best out there in @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @pkrugman.bsky.social.
Also brb because we're all getting "left-leaning but scrupulously honest" tattoos.
The Republican budget bill is truly grotesque.
It exposes (for the millionth time) the true intent of MAGA Republicans: make life all sunshine and rainbows for folks who are already wealthy and destroy economic security for the rest of us.
The "Joe Rogan for the left" everyone is looking for isn't a podcast, it's a union.
Today, House Republicans passed a bill that takes food from kids and healthcare from the poor while adding trillions to the deficit—all to provide tax cuts that go overwhelmingly to the rich. It’s cruel by design and terrible for the economy. The Senate must reject H.R.1. www.epi.org/press/epi-co...

The GOP billionaire tax scam is outrageous...
Many now understand that Trump’s attacks on judges, law firms, universities, non-profit groups, and the media are all related—all part of a fascist power grab.
Missing from that list? Unions.
A detailed inventory of Trump’s attacks on working people, and how unions are fighting back:
Welp, the federal minimum wage is now officially a poverty wage (as in, a full-time worker earning the federal minimum wage gets paid less than the poverty line for a single person). www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...
Wow. The dog whistles are loud tonight over in the Cap Rotunda.
The Washington Post reports that Trump is preparing to issue an illegal order to fire the Postal Service board & place the agency under control of the Commerce Dept. Trump’s nominee to head the dept, Howard Lutnick, has encouraged Trump to privatize USPS. 🧵 1/9 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The federal workforce is under attack from the Trump administration.
But who are federal workers?
🔹 ~3 million people
🔹 93% work outside of DC
🔹 Diverse representation of race & age
🔹 Top occupation: medical/public health
