Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing. In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer. They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse.

[Mayor Brandon Johnson @ChicagosMayor]

Chicago stands in solidarity with Minneapolis.

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newson just completely obliterated Trump's "might-makes-right" regime in 90 seconds.

This is must see.

This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger.

You didn’t earn the right to wear it.

Stolen valor at its worst.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

This is a moral moment. It is not left or right, it is right or wrong.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Letter signed by 90 law professors at Harvard Law School explaining the lawlessness of the Trump administration‘s attack on the legal profession.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

[Brian Baez @MentallyDivine]

Trump’s Secretary of Defense put our military in danger by texting a reporter TOP SECRET US War Plans…

For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care.

The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control.

I detail the results in my latest article.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

[Mark Anthony Torrez @markanthonytorr]

@arthurjack You look great in both, and I’m glad you’re feeling good about your journey along the way.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to “form a more perfect union” that includes all of us.

Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress.
