The ruling by the Federal Trade Court who have blocked almost all his tariffs, is a HUGE moment and represents the single most important test of the checks and balances designed to stop an errant from exerting absolute power. This is the test America cannot fail. #cdnpoli

“If you haven’t been poor, don’t legislate for the poor.” - Rep Lateefah Simon, CA-12

The Boss: telling it like it is Springsteen shining a light on the chaos, threats & injustices of the moment with hope and love in his heart for America 🇺🇸

Yep.

Spending money they don't have illegally.

We like these guys.

I love everything about Rachel Maddow. She’s a gay woman and a fighter. Rachel Maddow believes in democracy. She genuinely cares about children and humanity. She’s fearless, intelligent, relatable, and honest. WATCH: #Resist

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

"An anti-abortion county prosecutor is trying to resurrect an 1849 state abortion ban (ya know, the good ol' days). Wisconsin Supreme e Court Justice Jill Karofsky IS NOT HAVING ANY OF IT!" From IG acct: @niraction Also here on bsky @nirhaction.bsky.social

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Overall, "May the 4th be with you" is not that clever or amusing.

Anonymous - Mexican President confirms that Trump has phoned her to secretly pressure her to allow US troops to enter the country. The president said no to Trump & told him "Mexico's sovereignty is inviolable & it's not for sale."..."We will never accept a US military presence in our territory."

This everyday nice American guy has a message to Trump and his MAGA cult. #cdnpoli

Trump is solely responsible for pushing both Canada and Australia to left- of-center governments. This will be as good as those individuals put in place to lead, however, the movement away from extremism globally is easily tied to what Trump has done to date. Some positivity for your Sunday.

If I were a professional comedian I would never tell anybody because it would set an expectation that I was trying to be funny.

Every. Fucking. Word. Of. This. This is the energy and fire we need from EVERY elected Democrat, from city council to the Senate, and everything in between.

As a resident of Spain I now know what it is like to live in Texas. #poweroutage2025

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

What's happening in the United States now, realistically can happen anywhere and has so in modern history.

Joel will return to #thelastofus. I'm working on a theory.

Al Gore ripped the Trump administration to shreds in a speech Monday at a climate week event in San Francisco.

I keep thinking about how ants will faithfully follow their leader in a death circle. #maga #stockmarket #politics #life

Pete Buttigieg with the clarion call. We have a fascist dictator-wannabe who has decimated the American economy and is now denying people due process of law. America is now a facsimile of 1934 Germany. Wake the fuck up, y'all! The danger has never been greater. 😳👇

The defining clue that Trump saw his idiotic plan was failing was when he announced that 50 countries were kissing his ass to negotiate with him. But continuing to mess with China, a country with the most leverage on him speaks to his narcissistic ego.

Here's your warning. I think he means it. This won't end well.

Pay particularly close to the timeline in section 6b and keep your friends appraised. They will try to impose the Insurrection Act. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Love this.

Apparently America was great when the stock market was half its current value. #MAGA

Life lesson #1,641: It is a complete waste of time trying to educate an ignorant person, especially when they are being told how smart they are within their own social circle.

Should any of you know people who don't understand how the BS game works, I recommend sharing this post

Peaceful protesting is not "violence" @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social .

Oh yeah, and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social 2028!

Now that I've trained my video feed a bit I'm enjoying it quite a lot. I miss some of the food recipe and food review videos I would get on TikTok but it will get there. Also, Trending topic search is getting better too. Nice job @bsky.app !

My takeaway from Trump pulling Elise Stefanik's U.N. nomination is that internal GOP numbers must look *terrible*, not just in Stefanik's #NY21 district, but also in next week's #FL06 and #FL01 special elections. You don't make a move like this unless you're scared. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/t...

Shopping list: pitchfork, water, paper towels I try to always pick up water and paper towels when I'm out shopping

My wife is an amazing woman who continues to inspire me each day. Recently, she launched a personal blog site, www.abroaderperspective.blog which journals our adventures transitioning from California to Spain, and also explores her personal journey and the benefits of choosing a wider life lens.

'Customers,' not 'costumers.'

If only we had some writings from the past which told us what things we as humans should not repeat.
