OMG Shadows

As a mental health examiner for commitment proceedings, I approve.

This is the best thing I've read all week. I'm so proud of Harvard! ❤️

Your daily reminder that it is our judicial system that decides if someone is a criminal, not the criminal President or his minions in the executive branch.

@klobuchar.senate.gov (D-MN): “In the words of Sen. Warnock: What’s happening is simple. Some people don’t want some people to vote. Yet the words that are inscribed in the Justice Department over its entrance? 'Equal justice for all.'”

Former Capitol Police officer: I would love nothing more than to move on from the worst day of my life. But as current officials attempt to rewrite that day… and pardoned criminals are making runs for office… the true patriots have become "nothing but afterthoughts."

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Happy voting day, Canada. Please remain the sensible one in this North American duplex we share.

Corey Booker just keeps getting better.

I was just thinking that when Dems have control someday they should pass a strong bill asserting that the judiciary at every level is fully independent and then I remembered that we have that bill and it's The Constitution

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Bandon, Oregon is showing up against fascism! 💜

At a hundred days into his presidency, Joe Biden had a 52% approval rating. As we near the hundred days mark in his second term, Donald Trump has a 39% approval rating. Here's how those numbers were framed by the media:

Holy crap. Here are 91 pages of letters that 14 House Democrats just sent to the nine law firms that have paid off Trump to not attack them. Lots of Qs aimed at sorting out if they violated federal bribery/anti-fraud/racketeering laws. min.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

This is an absolutely amazing show. If you haven't watched it yet, do it! It's the best show on tv by a mile! #DarkWinds #ZahnMcClarnon #TonyHillerman www.vulture.com/article/dark...

This is appalling and outright evil. This is what America has become. Never stop fighting this evil.

What happened at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's official residence is deeply unsettling. My thoughts are with him and his family. Grateful to the first responders and law enforcement who moved quickly and bravely. Delaware stands with you.

Well done, @booker.senate.gov! Your speech was inspiring and I loved the way you invoked John Lewis' spirit of "good trouble." Now it's time to deny unanimous consent on every Trump nominee and legislation. Please don't let this just be an empty gesture. Make good trouble. Please.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

I keep thinking of a line from the movie Liar Liar: "Stop breaking the law, asshole!"

Did you hear the big news? We’re taking to the streets nationwide on April 5 to fight back against Trump’s illegal power grab: handsoff2025.com

If you want to get a better measure of how many people in the US military or formerly in it will actually oppose Trump, get working on recruiting them to join this protest. #3E Don't just guess, organize, and find out.

@maddow.msnbc.com @lastword.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social I think you should see this. This is how the women serving in our military (and us veterans) are feeling right now. This letter is from a currently serving officer in the Air Force, on reddit, u/Neither_Witness8424.

Remember Senator Roger Marshall, who walked out on his constituents at a town hall last weekend after refusing to answer a question about cuts to veterans? He just came out in support of massive cuts to the VA. REPOST if you think Roger Marshall is a disgrace to our veterans!

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has *upheld* a lower court's order forcing USAID/State to immediately pay ~$2 billion owed to contractors for work they've alreayd performed. Alito/Thomas/Gorsuch/Kavanaugh dissent. t.co/k86ttz6Wdt

Love it!

“If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine.” —Estonia Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna Simple as. The Free World is with us. The only people not fully supporting Zelenskyy and Ukraine around the entire world, are known Putin stooges.

I stand with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

They won’t ever learn will they
