"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

‼️‼️

I’m not religious but this seems important…and true.

GOV. @andybeshearky.bsky.social : “All children are children of God. I didn’t want a legislature picking on those kids. If they show them hate, I’ll show them love.” 🏳️‍🌈 As @GovBillLee signs hate bills (despite having a sister who is married to a woman), next door Beshear leads with love.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

Breaking news: A federal judge ruled the Trump administration exceeded its authority when it dismantled the U.S. Institute of Peace, an independent nonprofit created by Congress.

Remote control.

The King is mad

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

As a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, can Homeland Security arrest Donald Trump on return to the USA and ship his ass off to an El Salvador mega-prison?

53 ❗️

Federal employees' health and retirement benefits could be cut.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

A 2-year old US Citizen was deported Friday to Honduras. “The judge on Friday scheduled a hearing for May 16, which he said was ‘in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.’” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

A headline from Hell. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

The Justice Department quietly invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month, granting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents the power to conduct warrantless searches of people’s homes based solely on suspicion that they are “alien enemies.”

No song for this shit show.

The working class is sick of a system where CEOs make 238x what workers make. Enough is enough. We stand in solidarity with all working people fighting for their fair share ✊

Disgusting.

Trump on the huge drop in international tourism: "It's not a big deal." Are you in the tourism industry? Do you agree?

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

The town of Jena, La., is home to the ICE detention center holding Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil—and is now also host to a stream of lawmakers, media and protesters

China has returned two Boeing jets, each valued at $55 million. With $69 million in tariffs applied, the cost per plane increased to $124 million. Orders for an additional 130 jets have been indefinitely suspended.

“He is one of the top five, probably, most targeted people in the world for espionage.” That seems accurate!

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Federal workers in Asheville, North Carolina gathered last night to stand up, share their stories, and organize to save the essential services working families rely on every day. Make your voice heard. Join @deptofworkers.bsky.social on the road at public hearings! www.mobilize.us/aflcio/

DOGE is firing the government employees who protect us from greedy, unscrupulous rogues like Elon Musk.
