ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: ā€œOur president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.ā€ (He was talking about Obama 😬)

This is my kind of leader. #NoKings

As Trump celebrates all things Saudi, someone not to forget about. She is held at an unknown prison with no contact with outside world for social media posts about her right to dress as she pleases. www.bbc.com/news/world-m...

It was always performative outrage.

ā€œTexas [GOP] Wants to Test the Water for Birth Control Pillsā€ by @jessicavalenti.bsky.social , 4/14/25 (h/t @mnasca.bsky.social) 1/ open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

This is some sick shit

If Harvard is a political entity, then every Church needs to have their tax exempt status revoked. Evangelical Churches cannot stop trying to force their religion on the masses and are constantly involved in our politics. TAX THE CHURCHES. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

Let's make this clear: Just because we demand that our justice system continue to use DUE PROCESS does not mean that we support gangs or illegal activity. But snatching people off the street and disappearing them without due process crosses the fucking line.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Authoritarianism

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that. Except with Donald Trump as president.

This is what infuriates me. Do people not realize that if you kill everything that makes America great …and by that i mean freedom of expression, political dissent, a GLOBAL dream that it is where anyone can make a better life for themselves…you are no longer America and we pay the price?!

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

And loving America means fighting to make it better.

Despicable

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

šŸ“ŒEasily the greatest political lie ever told and parroted relentlessly by the media: "Republicans are best on the economy."

…

There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.

Just finished watching Enemy of the state and Zero Day this weekend. What makes me sad is that those movies assume some one in an elected capacity will stand against blatant corruption. I never thought that would be the most absurd plot point.

Election math. Total number of US citizens over the age of 18…238 million. Total number of people who voted for Trump 77 million. 68% of us are being dictated to by 32%.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.
