AOC on fire today on X
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.
This is the media’s strategy to divide working people.
Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!!!
AOC: “Republicans are anti-LEGAL immigration I want to make that very clear.”
LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social
Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight
Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.
“The president does not possess authority to reorganize, downsize, or otherwise transform the agencies of the federal government, unless and until Congress authorizes such action.”
Chilling report from Brown University.
Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities.
Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.
@aoc.bsky.social has been a leading voice criticizing Schumer for agreeing to a Republican spending bill that almost all Democrats opposed, due to provisions that cut programs and expanded President Trump’s power to control government funding.
Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez responds to a tweet where a reporter is asking Trump, “Are you saying this crash was caused as a result of diversity hiring?” Trump: “It could have been.” AOC: I represent LaGuardia Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers - already understaffed - got Trump’s “buyout” this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.
Trump gutted the aviation safety committee last week. And that is a fact, unlike his “opinions” he likes to share to avoid taking any responsibility.
White House has rescinded the order authorizing a federal freeze on grants.
Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause:
"the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."
This is a constitutional crisis.
DEI has be weaponized as some sort of racist tool to target minorities, but white republicans are some of the most common recipients.
These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.
We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.
Guaranteed that by now the G20 has branched off a separate group chat without him in it
"DEI"
@aoc.bsky.social says it best. Why are so many resources dedicated to further excluding such a tiny percentage of the population? #transrights
Trump is defunding roads, bridges, drinking water and more.
AOC: "In this country, we hate Nazis."
ADL defending Elon Musk’s nazi salute.
Here’s the rest of their tweet:
“It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”
i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated
