"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Newsom: I’ll give you a specific example: just this morning, in anticipation of meeting with Chinese counterparts in Geneva, he decided to negotiate against himself—the great negotiator—from 145% tariffs imposed on China, now he says, “Well, maybe it should be 80%.”

“The way immigrants in Worcester and across the Commonwealth are being targeted and terrorized by this federal administration for deportation is absolutely unconstitutional." ~ Worcester City Councilor Etel Haxhiaj www.boston.com/news/local-n... #DueProcess #ImmigrantRights #Gestapos

Livermore, you showed up. You spoke out. And you’re ready to fight like hell to save our democracy. I’m all in with you. Let’s link arms and get to work.

WATCH: Chris Murphy gives a masterclass in how to dismantle the cosplay queen, AKA Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

gorgeous!!

this is awesome & a bit hysterical too...

I can't stop watching owls.

Sad truth that we are going to see again and again. Even for those of us who did not vote with misguided motives in mind.

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.   Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

“Every act of compassion is an act of defiance. Every moment of empathy is a refusal to surrender. Every time we choose decency over cruelty, we reclaim a piece of our shared humanity. This is the fight of our time—not for power, but for the soul of our nation.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Another message from this "deal": kids don't need more than 3 dolls, but you can never have too many Rolls-Royces, which will now enter tariff-free.

Today’s reading exercise.

🍊 💩 🐒 's nominee for Surgeon General doesn't even have the minimum required professional credentials to be Commissioned as an entry-level O-3 Medical Officer, let alone the top Officer in the USPHS Commissioned Corps. Complete disgrace and a slap in the face to my Corps!

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with.  Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies.   We’re fighting back!

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Wonderful desert Jackrabbit scene – stretching tall, to reach sweet flowers from a Mesquite Tree… Seen from a window, early morning – in shady area with dappled sunlight, by a rustic wood fence. #Photography #Wildlife #Calm #WildlifePhotography #Spring #Wonder #NaturesBeauty #Nature #Peace #Desert

Love the lil flex when they realise they just became the most famous bird in the world.

Powerful

So Trump finally reaches the concepts of the framework of a trade deal with a country that we actually have a trade SURPLUS with. In Trump’s vernacular, WE have been ripping THEM off. So now we help them reverse that so we can run a deficit with them. Brilliant.

Governor Tim Walz: Since when did government get to tell you how many dolls your child can have?

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

“They’re only arresting them because of our color. Because we’re Hispanics. My mom isn’t a criminal. She takes care of her grandkids & serves a church.” ICE says her mom is in Louisiana. @tnimmigrant.bsky.social presser on the @TNHighwayPatrol ICE NASHVILLE raids: www.facebook.com/share/v/18D7...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Trump just fired the first Black person to serve as the Librarian of Congress. She has been in that position since 2016 and is the first professional librarian to hold the position since 1974.

beautiful!

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

What a surprise... The guy wastes so much time trying to figure out ways to lie to Americans. Imagine if he'd actually put the effort into fixing a problem rather than first look for a way to lie about it. Gas and eggs in this article. www.factcheck.org/2025/05/the-...

The corruption is staggering. So brazen. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
