Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit. The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots. Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare. 🧪🦜 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Deliberately violating his oath of office, absent some compelling circumstance, should surely be considered a High Crime and Misdemeanor. Not that there is any dearth of other reasons for impeachment and removal, including blatant bribery.

Ty Cobb: “They’ve made it clear that there are no ethics and they’re not beholden to any standards, and it doesn’t matter if it’s illegal or not because they’re not going to prosecute Republicans. ... What passes for routine at this White House is purely corrupt.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

A shameful, pathetic act, underscored by the fact that the ICE statement was issued by a spokesperson who refused to be identified. Challenging the government is a duty of a free people.

“We are Jewish academics who have devoted our lives to teaching and research on college campuses. If there were a pervasive culture of antisemitism on campuses, we would know about it, and we would fight it. But we have observed no such thing.” No lies detected. academeblog.org/2025/04/25/i...

This is an incredibly dangerous step: The President is going to personally direct the Attorney General to investigate (presumably criminally) the principal fundraising website for Democratic Party-affiliated candidates and organizations. Fundamentally antidemocratic. www.cnn.com/2025/04/24/p...

UPDATE: Remember this case, where a federal judge savaged the Trump administration's "evidence" that a woman was in Tren de Aragua? Well, last week the Trump administration arrested her and her husband for the THIRD TIME — and now they say they'll use the Alien Enemies Act on them!

The elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Musk and Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard. I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/kQAZFJJw

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking
