#CDU hat als willfähriger Helfer der A*D die Veröffentlichung eines Berichts über rechtsextreme Aktivitäten in #Berlin #Neukölln verhindert; nun veröffentlicht ihn die @taz.de - well done 👏🏼 download.taz.de/25-03-27_Ers...

Wow. UPS announces they will cut 20,000 jobs this year because of the economic conditions under Trump.

This is who Trup wants to “unleash”: “‘We have seen, anecdotally ... a shocking number of wrong-house raids where the police just go to the wrong address," he [a lawyer] added.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

“When Beck asked Dhillon about the “bloodbath” allegations, she responded that she told Civil Rights Division employees that “These are the president’s priorities, this is what we will be focusing on, govern yourself accordingly.” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

There's only one person who's allowed to enter someone's home without a warrant, and that is Santa.

There it is, in a nutshell.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

If these Ukraine peace terms are as reported, they are a historic betrayal. Nothing in American history would come near to it. It would side the US squarely and definitively with dictatorship inews.co.uk/opinion/trum...

Trump tariffs prompt slump in shipments to US ports Number of vessels scheduled to arrive at Port of Los Angeles next week is down by almost a third year on year www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Jeffrey Epstein met Virginia Giuffre at Mar-a-Lago, a place owned by Epstein’s friend Donald Trump, a man notorious for craving the company of underage girls.

You can’t “deport” a US citizen, just like you can’t “return” a book you bought to a library.

No cargo ships are coming from China to the United States to replenish our store’s shelves because of Trump’s stupid tariffs.

"What's to stop a foreign government, eager to bribe the American president, from quietly dumping money into Trump’s crypto project, effectively making direct payments to the president without public disclosure? Nothing." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

Sold off a lot of my American investments. If carney wins on Monday, I will reinvest it in Canada. If Poilievre wins, I’m moving my money towards Europe or Asia. I want my money invested in a country with competent leadership. #canpoli #cdnpoli #neverpoilievre #tariff

How thoughtful of @cbsnews.com to give Russian war criminal, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov, a platform from which to spew Russian hatred and lies, lies, lies to hundreds of millions of Americans. It also helps Moscow shift the thinking of values in the US. Well done, CBS. Well done.

💥💰 “Viktor Orbán’s government is being accused of handing more than €1bn in unlawful subsidies to pro-government media, adding to concerns that state support is being used to bolster the Hungarian leader’s grip on power…The prime minister has used EU funds to reward political allies in the past.”

It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …

True.👇 "Instead of toning down his behavior in the face of the legal losses and plummeting poll numbers, Trump doubled down this week and embarked on some of the most extreme acts of his second term so far." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

👇

⚡️Russia wants to 'deceive America,' 'drag out war,' Zelensky says. "Since March 11, when America proposed a complete and unconditional ceasefire at talks in Saudi Arabia, the Russians have used almost 8,500 aerial bombs, almost 200 missiles of various types, and almost 3,000 Shaheds."

Trump’s wealthy donors will weather his tariff storm just fine – while you pay more at the checkout line. And don’t forget: they get a new round of big fat tax cuts, too. It’s government for the rich, by the rich.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

If federal judges have any sense of self-interest, they will not be eager to help DOJ put a state court judge behind bars for trying to protect the integrity of proceedings in her courtroom. The case seems pretty thin to me, but even if it isn’t, this *ought* to be an easy line to draw.

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation." Are we great again yet?

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world. Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior? These people are unfit to govern.

DOJ personnel don’t comment on anything beyond the four corners of a charging document in order to avoid prejudicing a defendant’s rights. Here’s the policy. The Attorney General of the United States violated it yesterday.

I was struck by this interaction in the Time interview. The relevant section in the Scotus decision is one paragraph long. We've never had a president before who doesn't read before. He is a captive of his advisors. This is the opposite of strength.

If Jesus Christ showed up today, this regime would immediately deport him to a foreign supermax prison without due process. And then they would brag about it on Twitter.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

While mourning the Pope, thousands of people in Rome went from dead silence to an eruption of cheers when they spotted President Zelenskyy. Ukraine represents bravery, hope and unity in a world under assault by the forces of evil.

sooo glad about france filling the gaps left by once liberal democratic and reliable partners in "the west"

Trump lapel pin symbolizes all that is wrong with this administration. Government officials are supposed to support and defend the Constitution, not the president. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/s...

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

"The Veterans Affairs Department is requiring all employees working on its plans to slash tens of thousands of workers from its rolls to sign non-disclosure agreements, an unusual move that has prevented supervisors from sharing basic information with staff." www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Remember to look up

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that federal authorities may once again seek reporters’ phone records and compel their testimony in leak investigations, reversing a policy that was designed to protect journalists from intrusive government efforts to identify and prosecute sources.

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Jeden Tag daran erinnern: VERBOT der AfD ist überfällig! #AfDVerbotSofort

All these people saying “do it the right way” need to understand that path is closed. This poor mom is now jailed and ripped from her family.

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

"While much of this is already in action before our eyes, leaving some 18,000 law enforcement agencies without federal oversight or limits places everyone in peril." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
