I so needed this this morning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfPz...

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. ICE is illegally outsourcing to mercenaries. What they are doing is kidnapping, a felony. If they kill someone, it's "felony murder", often punished with the death penalty. Someone should mention that to them and to police before it becomes relevant.

Sesame Street had him pegged back in 1988.

"Outside is beautiful weather. Do we want to lock ourselves in at home and close all the curtains?" "You always have the best ideas!"

Please do everything you can to not let this happen… youtube.com/shorts/W7nu-...

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

Absolute insanity.

The Trump regime isn't fascist? Prove it! Take *any* accepted "attributes of fascism" list. Pick *any* attribute and show that it's untrue. This attribute is justified? I don't care: convince me they aren't fascist, not that fascism is justified.

Die Diskussion ist eingefroren, aber in Antwort auf "nicht mehr aufzuhalten": es gibt tausende von Protests und Millionen von Protester. Nur die Medien zeigen das kaum, sie sind schon eingeschüchtert oder gar mitschuldig.

tl;dw: the LPO (Loan Production Office) is a *profitable* part of the government that gives loans to worthwhile projects that regular banks won't. For example to Tesla for an EV plant. And DOGE has just closed the LPO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=payv...

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Wtaf? 1984 has arrived 41 years late www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-tru... Let us not forget who it was that gutted the global pandemic response team in February of 2018. Closing offices all over the world INCLUDING WUHAN. He knows he’s responsible for 7M deaths worldwide so he’s blaming Fauchi

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

My feed is full of massive protests all across America! Millions of people in the streets! ❤️ I haven't looked at the main stream media in forever (excepting Rachel Maddow ❤️). Went to take a look: it's a tiny story there, often not on the front page. The youth are right to ignore it.

Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him. youtube.com/shorts/FNvbg...

So all 9 members of the Supreme Court, then?

Another 5 alarm fire caused by the Trump regime. This one in a fire station. Funding for the cyber-security database system ended yesterday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=itbs...

Correct.

HAPPENING NOW: They came for Rümeysa because she dared to speak out. Now 500 of us are here at her hearing to make it clear: When ICE tries to silence one of us, we raise our voices for ALL of us. #FreeRumeysa

German progressive/critical group calling for fascists to be called fascist in German media. My translation: "Fascism has returned and can illegally abduct and deport people and even do the Nazi salute and German journalists are still discussing whether one should call it 'fascism'."

They'd damned well better. If you have Dem Senators, put yourself on blast and insist they filibuster. No collaborators.
