The world is more divided than ever, but there’s still something (nearly) everyone agrees on: The US is unloved. Meanwhile, China keeps improving its global standing 👇 www.politico.eu/article/usa-...

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Bribery in plain sight.

Nothing surprises me anymore

Dear White Liberals, Our job now is to spend all our privilege. Our job now is to help passive allies to become active allies. Our job now is to use our bodies when we are proximate to the frontline of fascism. “Good Germans” made Nazism possible. Don’t let that be you. #NeverAgainIsNow

This Sunday on UnJustified, Andy McCabe and I discuss Andry’s case against Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act with the CEO of Democracy Forward - one of the orgs that is suing on his behalf. Free to subscribe and listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

These are the Cowardly Nine.

Read this. It's horrifying. Democratic governors, mayors and councils need to proactively mobilize their National Guard units and police departments to *protect their residents* from lawless federal agents making arrests without warrants.

No surprise.

Sleepy Joe? I don't think so.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Found this lethargic wasp on my bed. Took him (per internet is likely male) outside and gave him some apple

He's also the president who killed things like this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Worth refreshing your memory. Grievances against the King of England seem relevant after the last 100 days. declaration.fas.harvard.edu/resources/text

Saw Fortune Feimster last night. I am the blur shaking her hand, telling her she gave the best answer I have ever heard to the popular question, “If you could have any superpower, what would you choose?” Her answer was: “I would be able to pull all the garbage, and pollution out of the oceans”

The new A’ja Wilson Nike commercial is so damn cute. 🔥

the trump administration, obviously concerned with racial equality, thinks its illegal discrimination to spend federal dollars protecting a predominantly black community from raw sewage

NEVER feed bread to ducks. Not only does it lack nutrition for them, but it can also become moldy and cause illness.

subarus for the canadian market will now go there directly from japan instead of being made by american autoworkers in indiana. more trump tariff genius. www.carscoops.com/2025/04/suba...

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

I hate Trump so much . I don’t like feeling like this but he’s obscene.

@davidjoy.bsky.social speaks with clarity and conviction about why choosing to celebrate the confederacy is wrong. "And then I grew up. And I read books." This is why racists hate civil rights and equality being taught in school or anywhere else. Because most informed people, choose decency. ♥️👍🏿

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

This cover, though very pointed and accurate, makes me very sad that we have come to this. How were so many people willing to vote for this little boy? How were so many willing to give up on democracy. How were so many this stupid. And how were so many willing to sit out the election and allow this?

Move them to Canada

It's beyond a constitutional crisis we need to remove this Pricktator,,,, www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Andry Romero, a gay makeup artist came to the US last year in search of asylum. He did not show up for his scheduled court date - ICE had seized him & took him to brutal prison in El Salvador. His family is desperately worried. Senator request to see him was denied. Proof of life denied.

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

LET’S. DO. THIS. 😎✨

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
