Just read this sentence. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/o...

some mayors go to investigate ice lawlessness and get arrested. some mayors stand behind the president for press conference crumbs. what are we really doing???

WTF AMERICA Ice is arresting Americans.

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked: -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Expanded Child Tax Credit -Programs to support reproductive health Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

This is what the ruling class has decided will be normal !

I'm beginning to see a pattern of destructive behavior.

Trump's FTC is planning to lift restrictions on two oil CEOs who allegedly colluded with foreign governments to jack up gas prices. This comes after the CEOs, their family members, and businesses gave big donations to Trump and the RNC. The rule of law is for sale under Trump.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear U.S. residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?  Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Let us be the sunlight that destroys the mold upon our nation.

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, slams Trump for posting an AI image of himself as the Pope: “This is deeply offensive to Catholics, especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis…He owes an apology”

Radio Free Asia is laying off about 90 percent of its staff meaning it is effectively shutting down. It says it can no longer pay people after its funding was cut off by the Trump administration. By @emilyzfeng.bsky.social

We must fight to save PBS and NPR.

BREAKING: A federal judge has permanently BLOCKED the entirety of Trump's executive order targeting the law firm Perkins Coie. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Related coverage www.allrisenews.com/p/jenner-tru...

Musk is destroying AmeriCorps. It looks like it’s RIP for AmeriCorps. The nonprofit that represents AmeriCorps’ state commissions which organize state-level community service programs funded by the federal agency announced that commissions in all 50 states,

MAGA probably won’t even get this.

385 American workers die every day due to dangerous working conditions, according to the @aflcio.org. Meanwhile, Trump put a former Amazon exec in charge of worker health and safety and is planning to shutter 11 regional OSHA offices. Make no mistake: these moves will cost workers their lives.

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue 🧵The GOP is full of a bunch of PIGS! In Pennsylvania, GOP Senator David Argall was FORCED to apologize to a 12-year old girl's mother for asking her daughter an inappropriate question about porn 1/7 www.pennlive.com/news/2025/04...

Breaking: BOSTON (AP) - Federal judge blocks Trump administration from passport changes affecting transgender Americans.

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

the people who are like "if this happens it's all over" are just showing you it hasn't occurred to them to do the simple numbers math of "and what army"; they wouldn't need to use fear as a tool of control if they could already use it against you, you would simply be controlled

All staff were put on leave at the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. Congress created the entity in 1987 and, among other things, it helped drive down veterans homelessness.

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this. Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

@chrislhayes.bsky.social breaks down each layer of the "sheer lawlessness" of the Trump deportation case. (1/2)

"You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams He is repenting so hard right now.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

There is a vicious lie going around that filling out the FAFSA affects your benefits or tax returns. It is a LIE. Please share so this gets around. Too many kids are finding out they won't be able to go to school because their parents won't give up their SSN or tax information. Share!

Not this again...

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

SO JUST TO RECAP: 1. The Supreme Court rules against Trump 9-0. 2. He flies in the dictator of El Salvador specifically to say he won't return Kilmar Abrego Garcia in front of the whole world. Is this supposed to be evidence for the Supreme Court? 3. The timing indicates a high level of concern.
