“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...

Great news, working Americans! Rolls Royces and Bentleys will only have a 10% tariff. What a deal-maker, right?

How much of a tariff do you have to pay to import white nationalists from South Africa?

I want a law passed in Congress that FORBIDS ANY law enforcement, ICE, DHS, or CBP from hiding their faces.

A gay asylum seeker was disappeared to CECOT. Iranian Christians and Afghan feminists were sent to Panama. And yet the administration can roll out the welcome mat for well-to-do white landowners from a democracy. Obscene. It’s just obscene.

ICE recently conducted a raid of farm workers, seemingly focused on pro-union worker leaders. On Friday in New York the federal agents stopped a bus and, armed with a list, appeared to single out those who have been doing union organizing for years. theintercept.com/2025/05/05/i...

DOGE guy at the CFPB owned verboten stocks. He was explicitly warned by ethics lawyers that he wasn’t permitted to take any action that could benefit those companies — and him. He then helped fire workers anyway. Including the ethics lawyers who warned him. www.propublica.org/article/cfpb...

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

Ethics experts say what he did rhymes with “rhyme”

These headlines related to U.S. military aviation have all appeared in the last 11 days. There is a major problem at the Defense Department.

seems like the administration is objectively pro plane crash www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

Some people go into law enforcement to get a plausible excuse to harm people. When you abduct someone and send them to prison or anywhere else with No due process—it’s called Human Trafficking.

NEW INVESTIGATION from me and @vernalcoleman.bsky.social: Internal emails show doctors and others at VA hospitals around the country begging for help as cuts hurt veterans' care, including "live-saving cancer trials." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

NEW: Trump Decimates NOAA Lab Protecting Great Lakes from Toxic Algae Blooms @annaleighclark.bsky.social

NEW: Despite a congressional mandate to expand care for veterans, internal Veterans Affairs messages obtained by ProPublica paint a stark portrait of how chaotic cost cutting has already imperiled tests of treatments for cancer, opioid addiction and more.

No, Mr. President, the United States Constitutional guarantees everyone “DUE process of law” — not CONVENIENT or COST-EFFICIENT process, which to you seems to include NO PROCESS AT ALL! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

Some videos you don’t have to add a thing cause they speak for themselves

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Maybe democratic leaders need to make it clear now: if you’re a nation that engaged in absolute corruption with the Trump family, you will absolutely pay a price when he is out of office. Our people deserve better

The arrogant stupidity of the people in this regime is just mind boggling.

RFK Jr. is dangerous.

“They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.”

Louder for the voters in the back!

Wherever you are in the world, there’s probably a part of you that is worrying about what tomorrow looks like. In Australia we are already there. And it’s looking fine.

I guess we know why he didn’t put his hand on that Bible now, huh?

Crockett being a lawyer - a civil rights lawyer and a defense lawyer - as well as her ability to handle the press brilliantly and be a clear communicator makes her perfect for this job. I want to see her verbally shove Comer in a corner. It will make my year to see him put in his place.

Can you imagine if a black president said he "didn't know" if he had to uphold the Constitution?

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

This is an absurd and weak deflection of responsibility. Imagine if the commander in chief were pawning off military decisions to his “generals.” The president takes an oath to defend the constitution and faithfully execute our laws — nobody elected the lawyers working for him.

Are people seeing this? Are they understanding it? Do they know that if the president refuses to uphold the constitution, we are a dictatorship?

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social @glennkirschner.bsky.social Hypothetical question If current adm:potus to speaker of house are corrupt&there are facts current adm manipulated election win,who'd investigate this& who has auth to decertify election?What would process look like?

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

Reason 12,473 for deconverting. Hitchens was right…it poisons everything.

The sleepwalk into authoritarianism continues

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

When A President Isn’t A Criminal Propped Up By A Corrupt Supreme Court…
