(taps sign so hard it breaks)

Of course he’s trolling. It’s obvious he’s trolling. And yes, he’s probably trolling in an effort to distract. And also: it’s a major problem that a sitting “president” is trolling, and it should be called out because he’s deeply, deeply unwell.

20 federal immigration agents mistakenly raided the Oklahoma City home of a family of U.S. citizens, held the mother and her three daughters at gun point, and seized the family’s phones, laptops, and life savings. Agents from the FBI, ICE, and DHS were cruel and abusive, treating the mother and…

We have arrived in El Salvador. Trump is illegally arresting, jailing, & deporting people with no due process. We must hold the Administration accountable for these illegal acts and demand Kilmar’s release. Today it’s him, tomorrow it could be anyone else. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Amazing day protesting in Chicago. #50501 #Protest #NoKings #HandsOff #ChicagoProtest

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

"If you don't stand up and fight now, if you don't take a position now, it's going to be too late," Eric Holder tells Rachel Maddow. "The time is now to stand up and do all that we can to fight this administration."

I really hope the American dream is to work all your life and then have your investments wiped out over the course of a week in order to tariff some penguins Because if it's not

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

How is Fox News gonna spin this for Dear Leader? Poverty is actually good now? Never being able to retire is good?

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration. So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY. Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

Florida, you can pull off something miraculous today. You too, Wisconsin. VOTE.

An open letter from DePaul University faculty and staff to administration calling on them to stand up to authoritarianism. depauliaonline.com/76138/opinio...

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Note for editors and producers: Forcing Ukraine to surrender to Russia is not brokering a peace agreement. Taking dictation from the Kremlin is not diplomacy. Betraying our allies is not courage.

Such a tragic update 😢

A pointless 700-point drop in the stock market and a hit to your retirement savings all because Trump and those around him don’t understand the basic economics of tariffs.

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...
