I wrote more on my Substack about the MAGA Supreme Court ruling siding with the Trump Admin criminalizing and dehumanizing legal immigrants. open.substack.com/pub/mikedave...

There are tornado warnings and watches in Wash DC. If Donnie hasn't left for MAL then he is hiding in his bunker. Maybe the storms will follow him down to MAL. Hey... I can dream. 😏

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

Senator Richard Blumenthal today In Kyiv promises to put 500% tariffs on anyone who is buying russian oil or gas 👀

This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

1:12 minutes of powerful truth. Please, take literally a minute to watch and share. Thanks to @cwebbonline.com for bringing this to us. 👊💙

STAY IN YOUR LANE! You dog killing bitch! Could you imagine if a foreign politician came to the US and told us how to vote!! WTF!? I guarantee we’re about to see MASIVE protest in Poland! This administration is so EMBARRASSING!! 🤬😡

Scheduling an interagency retaliation-planning meeting seems like pretty good plaintiff's evidence for a First Amendment retaliation claim.

One passed laws for your kids. The other passed his hat for your cash.

Trump on Joe Biden, who recently announced a cancer diagnosis: "If you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry, because he's vicious ... I really don't feel sorry for him."

Let’s be honest. It might LOOK like a depression-era company town but that’s an unfair comparison. It’s really more cult commune but with capitalism.

Can a reporter ask Elon Musk if he's on drugs right now in the Oval Office?

Do they even listen to themselves?

I needed a bag of sugar and a gallon of milk. I just put in cart and walked out the store. It’s not stealing if you do it out in the open, right? #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #Pinks

Would you like that on a corn or flour tortilla? How about some extra guacamole? Or some delicious salsa?

"Americans should not tolerate this extreme politicization of clemency. It is time to reform this power in ways that discourage misuses and make the process more transparent"

#ProudBlue #Resist #NoKings Best restatement of the obvious I’ve seen in years. It will be labeled “WOKE,” but it is just common sense. We are either all equal or we aren’t!

Trump's latest pardon spree revives the long, scandalous history of clemency-for-loyalty. Austin Sarat argues it’s time to rein in a power too easily abused.

#ProudBlue #MomSky SCOTUS granted an emergency application filed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that ends the Biden program that gave 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela permission to temporarily live and work in the 🇺🇸. SMFH 😡 apple.news/A6Bjo6wpPSdi...

#ProudBlue #Resist #NoKings A long conversation abt Musk, the damage he did & what’s next starts with this post. Many comments come w/ links to related articles. Set aside some time to read the comments, stories & speculations. Is Musk a Putin asset? iDK, sounds plausible. Interesting times - 🤮

White House released its "merit" hiring plan. Faster hiring? Great. But “race-blind” hiring? Not real. Multiple studies: same resume, different names—white-sounding names get more callbacks. If bias stays baked in, so does inequality. 🔗 www.chcoc.gov/content/meri... 🔗 www.npr.org/2024/04/11/1...

#ProudBlue For the Greater Glory of Science has provided this helpful guide for distinguishing real science reporting for fake "do your own research" tactics of science denial.

#ProudBlue Here's a masterful essay on the 19thC economic theory of social Darwinism (survival of the fittest), Trump's ideal & how it evolved in the 20thC, creating the largest middle class ever. The truly Great Society fell with Reagan's 1980's tax "reform." Now Trump's heralding those days again.

#ProudBlue I can honestly say the best years for humanity, was during Democratic rule. Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden. They gave us an assault weapons ban. Gave us the Affordable Care Act. And the Consumer Protection Agency. Guess who voted in the OTHER party to take it all away? You.
