THREAD. It's important for all people of good will to understand the Laken Riley Act before the Senate votes on it tomorrow. It’s unconstitutional. It’s horrific in every word and clause. But there is a deeper, more imminent violence lurking beneath its hate-filled text.

If you have federal student debt, you need to log into https://t.co/bLFpAXcnRl and screenshot your payment history and loan details TODAY.

The Biden administration *just* created a tracker on the website. We don't know how much longer the tracker will exist. You need proof.

Welcome to 2025, a year in which these reminders remain necessary:

* Unmitigated spread of pathogenic viruses is bad.
* War crimes and ethnic cleansing are bad.
* Environmental destruction is bad.
* Extreme and growing wealth inequality is bad.
* Bigotry is bad.

I think @AOC’s argument about transgender bathroom bans is…pretty much perfect

In the next two months, Senate Democrats can...

-Fill 47 judicial vacancies

-Ensure a Dem majority on the NLRB

-Appoint key regulators to the SEC and FDIC to protect the American people from financial fraud

-Reappoint FTC Chair Lina Khan

Democrats need to act. Now.

[Freedom of the Press Foundation @FreedomofPress]

John Oliver implores the Senate to pass the PRESS Act! It's already passed the House unanimously.

It would protect journalists across the political spectrum from spying and the threat of jail time for doing their jobs.

Removing slavery was on the ballot in California. It literally had no opposition campaign at all, and it still lost.

[MollyPeonies @mollypeonies]

Went on FB briefly this a.m. & people I knew from junior high were saying "they don't really discuss/think about politics." And while I get there's *a lot* of bullshit happening & it's terrifying, this idea has always been so foreign to me.

Because politics is everything. 🧵

Trump says BANNING vaccines is on the table??? Not getting rid of vaccine mandates, actually BANNING the vaccines themselves for diseases like polio and measles? That is batshit crazy.
