I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

“For courts to function, all parties must agree that the losers will abide by the court’s decision, like it or not. For the United States to remain a constitutional democracy, the executive must honor the courts when they decide that its actions are unconstitutional.” www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Is this what you voted for? Does this make us great? Does this make us proud? May the compassion you show be returned 10 fold

The markets know the difference.

We have no kings in the United States of America.

New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement "He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

A person who becomes president solely to stay out of Prison and benefit from the Grift, doesn't give a shit about what you go through.

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead. We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

I was among the people interview for this piece. Glad to see 60 Minutes standing behind it.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

#MayDay Millions of YOU Thank you so much for rising up !!! Have to share 3 of my favorite signs from today "Without due process Who is next?" "Both of my grandfathers fought NAZIS Now it's my turn" "They're counting on you to sit this out, DON'T " (ty politics girl that's you) #MomSky

This is petty. The FBI has reassigned several agents simply for being photographed kneeling in solidarity with racial justice protesters in D.C. during the 2020 demonstrations after George Floyd’s murder.

The answer is yes.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

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

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

Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion. www.joemygod.com/2025/04/card...

President Trump is at once appoints the nation's top financial regulators & profits from one of the world's fastest growing crytpo companies. It's one of the most explict financial conflicts of interest in presidential history. A NYT investigation published today digs into this nyti.ms/44KUVn8

80 years ago today 4/29/1945 Fascist Italian dictator Benito Mussolini is shot & killed & hung in the town square with 3 other Fascist leaders & his mistress. Mussolini’s body/face is then pummeled to an unrecognizable form by many thousands of angry Italians seeking revenge.

Despite Trump's promised cuts, U.S. spent about $220 billion more in first 100 days than last year www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-p...

Why the F is Abrego Garcia still in a gulag, along with the other illegally kidnapped and trafficked hostages? Why isn't this front page news every day?

Hey Jeff Bezos you know what submitting to blackmail got you? What it always gets you: more blackmail

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

"We can't ever let this happen again." I mean that with every fiber of my being. Democracy is not self-sustaining. It needs defenders. It needs truth-tellers. It needs people who will stand up — and stay standing — even when it’s hard, even when it's dangerous." open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

"I like Trump: 32%" "I *hate* Trump: 51%" Good luck in the 2026 midterms any Republicans who think they can win on riding on Donald's wrinkled, baggy, sloppy 1980s suit coattails.

I’m not sure America can even survive the damage we’ve sustained in such a short time. Despite our best efforts it may not be possible (at least in our lifetimes) to stop the bleeding, reverse course, and repair all that has been damaged since January 20th. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-americ...

Why I donate to the ACLU:

Nights of BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 27 APRIL 2025 Steps of Our Capitol Senator Cory Booker and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries At 6am, they were there Just the two of them A sit-in for the PEOPLE Upcoming budget fiasco Then it live-streamed unscripted on You Tube Thousands watched & many came

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

As outrage mixes with sadness, we feel the magnitude of our loss. Several of you weep at what’s happening. I have wept too. But I urge you not to dwell solely on the loss. We have much to do. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-92d

🧵1 Sen Booker & Rep Jeffries are still drawing We, the People to the Capitol Steps. Rep Jeffries called on the spirit of John Lewis & made it clear: Good Trouble lives on in heroes like Cole. These kids are fierce. Their fight is righteous. This is the kind of trouble that saves lives.
