More conflicts of interest. It will cost a fortune to strip this plane and verify it for security. Trump probably doesn't care because after his term this becomes personal property. #bribery www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

I know it's hard but Portland needs to find another way to raise revenue - i.e. sales tax. Property taxes are driving me out of my home. Voting NO. opb.org/article/2025...

Brave patriotic ICE officials, as always, covering their faces out of shame.

Want to know more about the work we’re doing to hold Trump accountable? We’re hosting a Town Hall next Friday with Dem AGs from across New England - and you're invited! Sign up here: www.eventbrite.com/e/new-englan...

Freedom of speech. Political imprisonment

“The controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.” $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...

Thanks to the advocacy of Black Alabamians and organizations like @allontheline.bsky.social, Black voters in Alabama will continue voting in fair congressional districts that allow them to elect candidates of their choice. This is a win for Alabama, and proof that progress is possible.

It affects entire families

It’s not “just childcare.” It’s brain development. It’s meals. It’s security. It’s early words and lifelong impact. We fight for childcare because we fight for futures. #MomSky

cruel and unusual oppression of people who do not chose how the cards that genetics and God deal them and have harmed no one. I doubt Jesus would approve.

The Mayor of Newark was just arrested for standing up against ICE's brand new torture prison. Meanwhile, our Mayor is sitting down with Trump to keep kissing the ring. Release Ras, and elect more leaders like him!

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

The politically oppressed from Latin American fleeing drug cartel and violence are NOT an invasion of America. They are people struggling to survive. The White House is using that emergency invasion as an excuse to illegally detain and deport people without due process.

Tariffs punish everyone (families, businesses, etc) except the wealthiest who are able to pay the price of things. It is hardly ever particularly good for consumers.

I think what we do know is that Catholicism is ancient and partriarchical. Slow to adapt to the present times. Capitalism is both a powerful economic system that creates a lot of inequity and suffering. It is also a faith in markets made mostly by men in which the richest get richer.

A ban on surrogacy and IVF - this guy is very much like JD Vance when it comes to women and sex. Equal as long as women know they are subservient to men? Is that his stance? I want to know. 19thnews.org/2025/05/pope...

breath of fresh air!"..accuse me of being optimistic..I just think I’m being realistic..say somebody convinced me otherwise. What am I going to do? ..This money should go back to society in the way that it has the best chance of causing something positive to happen. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/m...

This is more like good and evil; love and hate, greed and generosity transcending geo-political boundaries, economic classes and misguided preconceptions. You can see and feel the paranoia of loss of control over others as rigidity & grasping, but the die are cast. Where will you belong

I had the feeling this past week that the whole world or perhaps the universe is flipping over. Not the way most think; something much bigger more magnificent; moving fluidly, unstoppable.

It's not like there isn't a actual human need for Medicaid. Republicans are overly focused on the numbers and ignoring the value of it's obligations to society writ large. 🇺🇸. Very short term thinking, at best. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

So humbled that our project, "The Life of the Mother," has won the Pulitzer Prize for public service. Thank you Mayron Hollis and the families of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain and Porsha Ngumezi for trusting us to tell their stories. www.propublica.org/article/prop...

Hollywood has long loved to tell stories about itself—but, in 2025, the self-satirizing has an air of crisis management. @inkookang.bsky.social writes about the new season of “Hacks” and Seth Rogen’s new series, “The Studio.”

kakocracy (plural kakocracies) Rule or government by the worst of the people I think we're there.

There is a reason for the saying, "the rich get richer..."

The White House has said there are no ethics issues because Mr. Trump’s sons run the businesses. “The president’s assets are in a trust managed by his children,” ... “There are no conflicts of interest.” Laughable, conflicts - they are all private family businesses www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/u...

Washington Post has discovered that Rubio lied about Venezuela not being willing to accept so-called "gang members." It only stopped accepting deportees AFTER Trump's illegal Alien Enemies Act proclamation asserted that the US was at war with Venezuela and could seize its assets

Except for all the businesses that will fail because of the unnecessary draconian methods they are using to change course.

Wars of agression are ultimately for the benefit and power of rich men, protecting their rich friends. #Gaza #Ukraine #Yemen #Nazis #Aparteid #Colonialism Question: Do they close the gaps between the haves and have-nots? Who give their lives? Not an easy answer. youtu.be/jhdFe3evXpk?...

And there you have it.

If Trump’s 1.5% win over Harris was a “landslide,” what should we call Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Crawford’s 10% victory over the Trump/Musk-backed candidate?

Simply disgraceful. And un-American. Trump Administration Quietly Rolls Back Civil Rights Efforts Across Federal Government Previously unannounced directives will limit the Department of Justice’s use of a storied civil rights enforcement tool www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump’s 48-hour scramble to fly migrants to a Salvadoran prison The Trump regime rounded up many of the Venezuelan men two days before the flights took off, pressing forward even as Venezuela agreed to accept deportees. (Gift article) wapo.st/4jHQfDn

So much efficiency happening. Are we great yet?

Jia Zhangke’s “Caught by the Tides”—a mostly archival film featuring some two decades’ worth of material—documents individual Chinese lives amid ceaseless social, cultural, economic, and technological change. Read @justincchang.bsky.social's review.

Trump IS ivy league. From Yale, as is Vance. Harvard is renown for academic and groundbreaking discoveries. Yale is renown for protecting the financially elite. Trump fears anyone smarter than him, including you! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/u...

All that is happening was predicted. The enablers will have to live with the shame and the legacy.

Humans are capable and kindness and cruelty in equal measure. Trump's America is, first and foremost, driven by a lust for money and power. All other considerations matter only to promote those aims and are maligned. Misery and even death are inconsequential. Gentle power has no place. ☹️

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

Americans are now losing on every front: economics, democracy, foreign policy. The persistent and not-so-subtle impacts of Trump and the 2025 radical right policy.

Murder is murder.
