Perhaps we could return to a nation based on truth, transparency, and accountability. And perhaps we start with holding government officials, all of them, accountable for what they DO. Respect Improve Educate These should be our goals. I know It’s foolish to dream, but it’s the only alternative.

Trump’s fascist attack on Due Process has just prompted another eloquent and blistering takedown by a Reagan-nominated pillar of the conservative judicial establishment. Thank you, Judge Wilkinson, for showing what a real judge sounds like.

BOYCOTT "ALL" THINGS MADE IN EL SALVADOR

My awesome @vanhollen.senate.gov, went to El Salvador to check on constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Despite being told no on day 1, he persevered. Last night we got pictures of the 2 men meeting. We must persevere in these dark days. Tomorrow, 4/19, is a good day to show up for good trouble.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

Whistleblower details how DOGE may have taken sensitive NLRB data : NPR If the spectre of a drone photographing you walk your dog doesn’t scare you into silence, you might make a good whistleblower…

I’m old enough to remember when both Democrats AND Republicans called out the shady behavior of their members of congress AND their Presidents. Take down X for 24 hours (it’s not like Musk is paying his bill) and then everyone stand up to Mump! FFS, this is both scary and ridiculous.

An Idaho teacher was told by her principal to take down an "Everyone is Welcome Here" poster in her classroom. It's a symptom of President Trump's crackdown on discussions of inclusivity in schools.

Swisher is succinct and genius, as usual.

Our taxes are used to pay for: Roads & bridges Managing our social security funds Medicare Medicaid National defense- including the military, but also the intelligence services and cybersecurity. If gov’t cuts all the funding & employees, what are we paying for?

I joined @maddow.msnbc.com to discuss how Trump/DOGE are impacting Social Security recipients in AZ. I refuse to let an authoritarian administration override the rule of law and destroy critical services. Report Social Security disruptions at www.azag.gov/socialsecurity. youtu.be/4RFBjhPIn0U?...

We need more men like the guy with the beard!!!

The biggest Dis sometimes is just the truth.

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

Opposition is growing against the Trump-Musk chaos regime—and we’re not letting up. Never stop organizing. Never stop protesting. Never stop turning out. #HandsOff2025

#ProudBlue The political rhetoric is changing & Democrats have become energized by the WI win and the 2 close FL races Then with Corey Booker speaking w/the people for 25+ hours with sincerity & success, our country changed directions Americans are looking forward to participating in change

#ProudBlue 💙 Kamala #ChucksandPearls

Remember Marie Antoinette saying, “let them eat cake”? This could be Trump’s cake moment, especially with the WI losses this week and the Senate banding together in a small way. Maybe there’s hope shaking loose…

Now Trump has gotten the penguins upset. They will retaliate bigly - no cuteness for him - not that he would appreciate, or even recognize cuteness.

Remember this?

Yea @thomtillis.bsky.social the rule of law is definitely being restored. 15 days to restore 60,000 voters to the roles? F’ing cheats.

I am ashamed of the MSBA. The only statements they have made since Trump’s inauguration have been mealy-mouthed platitudes about going along to get along. Are they going to advocate for any of our MD residents who have been “removed” illegally to El Salvador?

Thanks for this @gtconway.bsky.social

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

The courts are still working… as long as there are attorneys willing to bring the cases. These law firms bending the knee when fighting seems to end in a win makes no sense when Democracy is at stake. Stiffen your spines @Skadden Arps! You have the $$

How many Republicans are thinking about this? And why are they willing to kill their constituents?

Many of my elderly neighbors don’t have access to hot or fresh food. Meals on Wheels can’t be delivered this far out and we have no restaurants. Some elderly folks in my community count on the food bank who comes to our town to deliver fresh food. Those food banks are now losing their funding.

Perfect

BEST. BEST. BEST. THING TODAY!! #Canada-Detroit #Canada-Detroit-Unified-Protest

Ther is no reason to treat people this way. I would like to see Musk and Trump and their families carted off in plastic cuffs, orange polyester and shaved heads and told to pee/poop on the floor. Then we can talk about cutting costs.

Migrants found dead at Krome Detention Center in Miami, due to possible starvation and dehydration. The facility, which was a detention facility prior to it being converted for ICE use, has a max capacity of 500.
