Republican House Reps Anna Paulina Luna, Andy Ogles, and Tony Gonzales are able to visit the prison in El Salvador but the mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, gets arrested trying to inspect an ICE detention center in the city he governs? 🙄

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

Trump FIRED Dr. Carla Hayden—the first Black woman Librarian of Congress—by EMAIL. The role is supposed to be apolitical…but y’all know he’ll turn ANYTHING into a political attack.

🤬 "Parade ceasefire" in action: Russia drops nearly 100 aerial bombs on Sumy Oblast on 8 May

On russian military parade in Moscow russians have proudly demonstrated their "Shaheed" drones - a terror weapon which kills Ukrainian civilians daily, and which has already killed thousands of civilians, including babies, pregnant women, elderly. This is what Fico, Vucic, and others salute.

1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️

Seattle port commissioner: "We currently do not have any container ships at port right now.” So by Trump’s logic this means we’re making money?

On May 9, it will not be the army that won World War II and liberated Europe that will march on Red Square in Moscow. Occupiers, terrorists, and war criminals will march there. They have killed and are killing, raping, and torturing Ukrainian civilians and children right now.

Still waiting for the day when any Republican calls out, loudly, and by name, Trump for warmongering in Greenland and Canada and Panama. Same people that would tuck and run from Afghanistan, Russia, and Iran instead bully friends to look tough without consequence. Weak asses

Over 50 planes are stranded at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport after Moscow airports closed due to drone attacks. Planes are waiting on the tarmac for up to 2 hours, as there aren't enough boarding stairs.

After the ballistic strike, Russia attacked #Kyiv with drones last night. So many people in Kyiv got hardly any sleep, trying to just stay safe. Two people were killed, eight more injured (four of them children). Debris fell on residential buildings, causing fires.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Kharkiv this morning. Turn the sound on to watch

During the night, Kharkiv came under a massive Shahed drone attack. One of the UAVs struck the Barabashovo market — one of the largest shopping centers in Ukraine and Europe. In total, the city was hit 20 times overnight, leaving four people injured.

Louder for the voters in the back!

⚡France to ramp up AASM Hammer smart bomb production for Ukraine, media reports. The French-made precision bombs are being transferred to Kyiv as part of ongoing defense support, and their use by Ukrainian fighter jets has grown significantly since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

A free press isn’t optional, it’s integral to our democracy. Journalists uncover the truth, expose corruption, and give a voice to the voiceless. Attacks on the press are on the rise and we must protect them, because when we defend them, we defend democracy. #WorldPressFreedomDay

[Trump shoots someone on Fifth Avenue] John Roberts: "it's an official act" Pam Bondi: "we'll be prosecuting the person Trump shot" Sean Hannity: "tonight: a look at all the people Joe Biden killed" New York Times: "not since Teddy Roosevelt have we had a rugged leader unashamed to hunt big game"

The Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) just now released a video showing the destruction of a Russian Su-30 over the Black Sea. The USV is a type Magura V5. This is the first confirmed destruction of fixed wing aircraft by a naval USV.

US and A great again is it? Tariffs the most beautiful word in the dictionary is it? The oh so orange clueless master of golf sure knows his stuff, right? I thought reality TV was the crappiest thing imaginable, but I guess I was wrong.

Doesn’t “I assume they preordered” equate to agreeing that tariffs are a bad idea?

European MPs urge an end to "the policy of appeasement"& call for a united stance against Russia's terrorist regime. In a joint statement, the Chairs of 7 Foreign Affairs Committees said: "We must not repeat the mistakes of Munich in 1938.Negotiating with the war criminal Putin is evidently futile;

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

The Autism "study" will be led by a guy who pretended to be a doctor even though he only has a BA in bio and who attempted a small-scale genocide of autistic people through chemical castration, so you know it'll be legit.
