- Reposted by Jenny BartoyThe reason there's no working class representation in publishing is because publishing and writing currently pay so badly only people who are already financially stable can afford to do it. The problem is always, always money.

- Reposted by Jenny BartoyI just watched the video of the men arriving in El Salvador. No one should be treated like that, especially without due process. I feel sick. This is concentration camps. This is Naziism. This is what happened to my family & my people. Just picked up off the street and disappeared to a “work camp.”
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyForeign nationals here legally getting thrown in prison without due process. Illegally firing govt agency commissioners. An unelected billionaire defunding vital services. The Republicans who cried about "the left" violating checks and balances are now awfully quiet, huh?
- Reposted by Jenny Bartoy1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

- Reposted by Jenny BartoyThe whole point is we don’t know if they are ‘foreign alien terrorists’! That’s the whole point of due process, and evidence, and a courtroom. We don’t take the government’s say so, especially a government with a history of relentless mendacity.
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyCan’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

- Reposted by Jenny BartoyDemocrats, Trump is increasingly unpopular and he will keep sinking as he destroys the economy. For the love of God, stand up and fight. Don't cave. Be an opposition party and reflect the anger of the majority. Win over people. It won't be as hard as you think. Stop being scared.
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyAOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyCALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

- Reposted by Jenny BartoyRepublicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House (sort of). If the government shuts down it is 100% on them. Ignore the any media that claims otherwise.

- Reposted by Jenny BartoyI'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.

- Reposted by Jenny Bartoy🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyWhy are Senate Democrats acting as though they will be responsible for a government shut down when the Republicans control the White House, Senate and House? If there is a government shut down, it’s on the Republicans – they have control and they are responsible for this abominable bill.

- Reposted by Jenny Bartoyone thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyYou have $100 in your checking account. One day, you check your balance and it's $60. You haven't made any withdrawals. You call the bank. They say $40 was taken as part of their "waste, fraud and abuse" program. Would you be ok with it? Coz it's happening to your social security and Medicaid.

- Reposted by Jenny Bartoyif you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyMy fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyYes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

- Reposted by Jenny BartoyDonald Trump is lying to you.
- Reposted by Jenny BartoyWhat he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
