So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Integrety is priceless. Too few at the top have it these days.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Good one from Andy Borowitz.

Conservative Judge Luttig on the Judicial Conference of the United States discussing whether judiciary needs its own security force because it cant rely on the US Marshalls Service under Trump & Bondi who R actively attacking the judiciary in general & individual judges including Trump appointees

Today May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. Statements like this are inflammatory, disrespectful and flat out lies. Not only did you betray law enforcement, but you sided with people who attacked us. You don't support law enforcement, you are are a criminal.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

To be clear - even the city of Nashville has no proof anyone ICE has arrested was a violent criminal or a gang member. (And due process is a thing) All anyone has is ICE’s word, backed up by @GovBillLee & Blackburn. Maybe the media could point that out instead of parroting their talking points?

I'll keep repeating this message until they hear it, loud and clear, in the red states.

Has anyone calculated the cost to upgrade a “gift” 747 to AF1 standards? And after those billions, the pres wants to just keep it? I wonder if the gift plane is hardened against EMP and has aerial refueling?

Kind of incredible how the GOP just keeps killing incredibly useful and popular programs and people just shrug. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

As a naturalized citizen, perhaps John Oliver better understands that our freedoms and protections must not be stolen by the Felon In Chief. Too many take them for granted.

Happy "It's NOT a costume party!" Day to all who celebrate it

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

The Republican Fourth Reich and their Gestapo Goon Squad. Who were they? ICE? J6'ers? Proud Boys? No ID No business cards No answers This has to end. None of us are safe.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

To all the MAGA people gloating about arresting a judge by saying “no one is above the law:” Girl, you elected a multi-felon who skated all consequences who appointed an Attorney General who took a bribe without any consequences. Please sit down. And stay there.

On June 12, 1987, Ronald Reagan demanded "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" On April 24, 2025, Donald Trump whined "Vladimir, stooooooop!" Has the United States ever looked weaker?

Make it make sense. 🤔

The US Navy's new Director of Communications, Kristina Wong, is a Jan 6 terrorist and an anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin mouthpiece. Likely an unregistered foreign agent (spy).

MAGA MEDIA is already done with this story....doesnt FIT the NARRATIVE...

Well you can see 👀 dementia Donnie 👇🏾

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Make it make sense

So, the Trump admin was able to bring astronauts stuck in space back down to earth, but it won’t lift a finger to bring a Maryland dad they “oopsie” imprisoned in a gulag back from El Salvador? Do I have that just about right?

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

I know times are bad because any date from the future (2034, 2078, 2026) sounds like it could be the title of a post-apocalyptic movie.

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.
