President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aiming to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR as he alleged “bias” in the broadcasters’ reporting.

NTEU Chapter 71 (IRS Philadelphia) Vice President Alex Berman discusses how IRS layoffs could impact people who feel they were taxed more than they owed, need to set up a payment plan, or have other issues after receiving their tax bills. penncapital-star.com/uncategorize...

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

CHICAGO…

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Protesters in Sioux Falls, South Dakota showed up at the Hands Off! protest! Fantastic!

“Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work”

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 DHS is asking IRS to locate **7 MILLION** suspected undocumented immigrants using confidential tax records. It’s a massive escalation by DHS to use the tax system for mass deportation. IRS officials are aghast, say it’s likely illegal.

Donald Trump could stand in the middle of 5th Ave shouting “death to America” while clubbing a baby seal with one hand & Boeberting Putin with the other and the cult would call him “strong.” There is nothing he can do to us, to them or to anyone else, that will change this. Nothing.

You expected something different from a guy who inherited $400 million and went bankrupt?

Spotted in South Philly, “Be a patriot, protect your immigrant neighbors.”

The trailer for Superman looks amazing youtu.be/xFU8U4UVUBs?...

Democracy isn’t dead—it’s alive, it’s caffeinated as fuck, and it’s coming for your sorry asses faster than a Karen in BluBlockers chasing a manager at Costco. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Trump saying he’s serious about running for a 3rd term must not be normalized. They are the words of an authoritarian who believes he can say & do anything. They are the words of someone who doesn’t give a fuck about the Constitution. They are words that should be condemned by EVERY American.

Pope Francis in published Angelus address: “Dearest friends, let us live this Lent as a time of healing, all the more as it is the Jubilee. I too am experiencing it this way, in my soul and in my body.” www.vatican.va/content/fran...

About a thousand people protested Saturday outside a South Jersey Tesla car dealership, denouncing Elon Musk’s role in the government. The demonstration is a part of dozens across the country called “Tesla Takedowns.” 🎧 LISTEN: go.audacy.com/rOxatYcM8Rb

Pope Francis: “Conversion and forgiveness are the two gentle touches with which the Lord dries every tear from our eyes; they are the hands with which the Church embraces us, sinners; they are the feet on which we walk in our earthly pilgrimage. press.vatican.va/content/sala...

Me reading centuries old news stories: ah yes, of course, makes sense. Me reading 2 hours old news: what on earth, who, why, what does that even mean?

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

A massive demonstration took place in Budapest today against Viktor Orbán’s pro-Russia regime in Hungary Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared: “The spring is here, the spring of the Hungarians, and we, together, will end Orbán’s winter.”

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

“Say, how many drinks have you had?”

Universal web site currently has one-day tickets available all days June through December. Site response is also back to normal.

Donald Trump is LITERALLY shutting our government down as we speak. WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY. He will continue to do this if they pass the CR. What the actual fuck don’t the Democrats understand about this?!!!

As Pope Francis marks the 12th anniversary of his pontificate, Vatican reports: “The night passed peacefully.” As on the evening of his election when he bowed in humility asking the crowds to bless him, the same holds true today, for the world needs Francis now more than ever.

I have a hard time believing that anyone would say, as Elon Musk did, "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." In fact, the fundamental weakness is a lack of empathy.

Today is the 12th anniversary of the election of Pope Francis. I will forever be grateful for his kindness to me.
