Do you mean to tell American voters, it was all a lie when Trump promised he'd bring the war to an end within 24 hours of being elected? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/u...

Why is there no Congressional investigation of private interests like Palantir which may have already stolen govt data on US citizens to wash through their own AI? Why, why, why?

Tesla is sinking like a stone.

Abrego Garcia has never even been charged with a crime. Donald Trump, in contrast, has been convicted, by a jury, of 34 felonies.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I pray the cardinals are wise enough to elect a new pope of Francis’ stature and grace; one who will represent the poor and dispossessed and stand for the protection of the earth and God’s creation.

Serious question: which conservative members of the US Supreme Court are rejoicing at the passing of Pope Francis?

Pope Francis was the greatest leader of the Catholic Church in my lifetime. He met the distress of our era with devotion and humility. I pray the cardinals are wise enough to elect a new leader with his humility, grace and awareness.

I feel like it was just yesterday we learned that Musk Thiel DOGE are invading private data of Americans in order to wash it through their AI and commit political terrorism. Do the Federalist Society, Opus Dei cabal feel like they’re getting what they want? @jennycohn.bsky.social

@meidastouch.com @bmeiselas.bsky.social did Jesse Watters just casually acknowledge that global warming is real and accelerating even though he’s refused to say the words and been a Fox denier for his entire career?

In the first 100 days, he’s violated the Constitution, destroyed federal agencies, allowed personal data on govt computers to be stollen by Musk Thiel AI, wrecked global trade and precipitated conditions for a 2nd Great Depression, but he is still hiding the Epstein Files. Why?

Is @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy reporting mass protests breaking out around the nation against Musk Trump or nah? Because maybe what we need is a million person march against Fox headquarters in NYC. @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social

As long as we’re deporting people with tattoos. 👇

Trump is either the worst dealmaker of all time or he is actively colluding with Vladimir Putin and attempting to advance Russia's interests, says Steve Pifer. In my view, these two categories not mutually exclusive. The answer is "both of the above."

Protests against Musk Trump all over the US today. Will the MSM even report them?

@meiselasb.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

I’m old enough to remember Trump taunting Harvard then walking it back and blaming a communication error on the same official responsible for allowing Musk Thiel to break in and enter govt databases containing confidential information on all US citizens potentially leading to a reign of terror.

Thousands of people rallied at hundreds of events across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the Trump administration’s handling of immigration, civil liberties, federal job cuts and other issues. nyti.ms/3EyqNkh

Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social It’s data rape. It’s facilitating the creation of a deep state that will be beyond the reach of any govt agency or law.
