🚨BREAKING: SCOTUS just ruled 6–3 to give Trump the power to move forward banning birthright citizenship.
Once again, giving him king-like powers and plunging immigration into sheer chaos.
Make no mistake, Trump will use this ruling as a blueprint to push more extreme policies.
Boston showed up for No Kings Day!
🇺🇸 NO KINGS! Live in Madison, Wisconsin.
✊
Protesters carry a banner that says “No Kings!”

We don’t bow to injustice! While tax dollars are wasted on parades and cuts to the programs our communities rely on - Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, and more.
That’s not leadership. That’s a power grab. We’re standing up to say this country belongs to us. #WeFightBack #NOKings ✊🏾

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

📢 We can't wait until the midterms to act. As Aaron says, "If we want to ensure that every eligible American who wants to vote can do so and will have their vote counted, the time to invest is now."

This wasn't a bad election cycle—it was bought & paid for. NCRP's latest research, led by our CEO Aaron Dorfman, exposes how conservative foundations & wealthy donors funneled over $1 billion into nonprofits that purge voter rolls, restrict ballot access, &silence voters.
It was originally started by the French and that’s when the vast majority of the workers died. Here’s a thread on the lies Trump tells about the Panama Canal.
We need to see much more of this clarity & conviction from the largest foundations. Bravo to Public Welfare Foundation & its president Candice C. Jones. www.publicwelfare.org/thesilenceof...
“We are forced to ask ourselves if The Washington Post — a pillar of investigative journalism during Watergate — is unwilling to challenge those in power.” -Common Cause President & CEO @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/m...
Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post didn’t want you to see our ad questioning who’s in charge at the White House. We won't stop holding power accountable. thehill.com/media/514849...
It’s not peace talks. It’s a colonization meeting. Deciding who gets to mine the rare earth minerals, who gets the oil who gets the wheat and who will control what part of the territory. Europe needs to wake the F up and defend itself from all the fascists, including Trump, Putin and the “New Axis”
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are mass firing veterans.

So on point.
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
"Similar directives have come from leaders in China, Hungary, Russia, and the Soviet Union"
good on @chronphilanthropy.bsky.social for spotlighting the comparative context here. many in USA civil society have yet to wake out of an exceptionalist stupor (tocqueville tranq'd)
Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.
Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.
The constant nightmare of Musk obviously makes us want to leave X, yet is anyone still over there trying to reach disturbed minds that think this is all acceptable (or great?!). www.ndtv.com/world-news/t...
From @mskellymhayes.bsky.social — why it’s truly a coup, with analysis, cautions & some sense of how to respond- including this: “The first thing I would advise is to speak clearly about what’s happening. This is not merely a crisis, it is a coup.”

Elon Musk's wrecking ball now swings at USAID, vaporizing humanitarian assistance, putting countless lives at risk, threatening to topple America's economic and moral standing and emboldening autocrats around the world.
Stand strong for our top humanitarian aid agency.
Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service.
Federal workers—I'm convening a webinar on the latest developments and resources to fight back. Sign up to gain access upon its release:
This would be the same Darren Beattie who was fired by the Trump White House after it was revealed that he attended a white nationalist conference. (Those were the days, eh?) He was then hired by Matt Gaetz as a speechwriter, then went on to be a key creator of the "J6 was an FBI op" story.
So appreciate NCN being on this immediately & thoroughly!
