It took the Nazis 10 years to get to the holocaust phase, that’s 10 years Germans believed they’d get another election or that maybe it won’t be so bad. That’s where the majority of the US is right now.

Your child did not choose to be gay, but did choose to be honest with you about it. 🏳️‍🌈 Showing unconditional love and acceptance will have a huge positive impact on their life. Your loving response will make all the difference.

Every day is Shut The Fuck Up Friday. It’s a given that they’re targeting people for their political opinions. If you are detained by CBP & they start asking you questions like this - shut the fuck up & say you want to speak to a lawyer & will not be engaging with them. DONT TALK TO COPS!!

It’s not deportations. It’s human trafficking.

Me: Oh, Dont worry. I only use chatgpt for the rare important things. The rare important thing.....

It’s not the first time he’s said something like this…

Remove him from his position immediately

Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic. “Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”

The overuse of executive orders reflects a systemic erosion of democratic process. Unilateral decrees replace legislative debate and undermine the balance of powers at the heart of constitutional governance.

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

“Hmm, I wonder why the ground looks green?” “Oh!” 🤯

Here is a baby otter to make you feel better about everything.

This regime is not “deporting” US citizen children, they are kidnapping and illegally removing them. This regime is violating the Constitution and committing crimes.

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

Happy birthday to the Hubble Space Telescope, launched from the Kennedy Space Center #OTD in 1990. Here's to a remarkable 35 years of imaging the Cosmos. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ Leave your favorite Hubble images in the replies!

My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

Our cover this week.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

Harvard isn’t Trump’s lapdog. Suing over a $2.2B grant freeze, the university reminds the wannabe king that America still runs on law, not sycophants. Surrounding yourself with bootlickers may warp your sense of power — but the Constitution doesn’t care.

Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a 20-year-old American citizen born in the U.S., was jailed in Florida under a controversial state immigration law, even though he had a valid U.S. birth certificate and Social Security card. A judge confirmed both documents were real, but said she

St. Louis shows up no matter the weather #fiftyfiftyone #handsoff #marchforscience

#caturday

the older I get, the more absurd the weekend feels. two days to get all your chores done, socialize, do hobbies, self care, and spend time with family? 48 hours? what? 16 of those hours are spent sleeping! it’s 2025 and we’re still selling our precious time to corpos who see us as disposable labor

This is our moment in history to stand.

"Due Process Denied One is Due Process Denied *You*"

Mass protests across Philadelphia: “I’m here because the current head of our government is doing things that are dangerous for all of the population and for the world, and I think he’s got to be stopped.” ) #3E #FiftyFiftyOne #EndImpunity #EndOligarcy #EndAutogenocide whyy.org/articles/phi...

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

They’re not “deporting” people, they’re kidnapping them and sending them to foreign prisons. Concentration camps. They’re paying these countries to imprison humans. It’s human trafficking.

Very creative, San Francisco! 8647 ✊

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

The U.S. is accelerating its transformation into the world’s largest immigration carceral state. What’s framed as detention is, in truth, a state-funded concentration system—where migrants are held in legal limbo, stripped of rights, and warehoused for profit with impunity.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Trump signed multiple executive orders today targeting environmental protections. One order removes safeguards for a vast marine sanctuary in the south-central Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument had

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Proud to be one of the organizers of this important demonstration. Join is in DC on June 6th.

i need some space… and maybe you do too

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.
