If you think suspending Habeas Corpus "just for undocumented immigrants" is acceptable, remember that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE detained in this way So all they have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to DISAPPEAR YOU

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

⚡️ Russian attacks kill, injure Ukrainian civilians despite Putin's Victory Day 'ceasefire.' Three women in Kharkiv, believing the truce was in effect, were injured by a Russian drone while gardening.

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard used the same weak password across multiple accounts for years. It contains the word "shraddha"; members of a group that has been described as a cult (and which she has denied having any affiliation with) say she was given the name Shraddha Dasi after being received into it.

Important story from the NYT this morning: The President running a crypto operation with largely anonymous offshore investors at a time when he regulates the industry is a huge red flag that you can’t imagine being tolerated by Washington or the public in any other era.

Let’s just remind ourselves about Farage’s big meal ticket idea again. And no, this isn’t about how the Tories did it, this is just Brexit reality. And Farage would make the deal *even worse*. Pariah status, unreliable, ruined UK howling about immigration and moaning that everything is broken.

Swalwell says the House Judiciary republicans just voted to allow Trump to deport US Citizens. From IG:

Not only did America elect a spoiled five-year-old as president—he’s unraveling because he’s losing and can’t handle being called out. STARTED. GOING.

Billionaires capitulated and now learn their largess and loyalty bought them nothing.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel. Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare. Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

Back from Rome and Melania couldn’t get away fast enough. Separate motorcades.

"Do you even own a black suit?"

According to the dress code required by Vatican officials for Pope Francis' funeral, men were required to wear a dark suit, along with a long black tie. Trump shows up in blue.

Despicable. Deserving of Tesla treatment.

Amazing moment as Vatican crowd erupts into spontaneous applause as Zelenskyy appears on the screen shaking hands with officials at the funeral of Pope Francis

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

What would encourage you to add to the baby supply?

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

If we found out Putin had purchased billions in $Trump coin, wouldn’t everything make sense?

At this stage, Trump’s deal is best ignored. Ukraine & Europe need to, and can, win outright. If Trump then tries to help Russia (eg lifting sanctions), the EU should consider sanctions on anything enabling of Russia from the US.

🔴 Russian forces targeted Kyiv with missiles and drones during a massive attack overnight. As of now, nine people are reported killed, 70 others were injured. Nine regions of Ukraine were attacked, the State Emergency Service reports.

A private workshop took place last month in Washington DC, hosted by the Heritage Foundation... ...to discuss proposals by European right-wing lobby groups to dismantle the European Union and the European Court of Justice.

Somewhat ironic that the least qualified, most unfit and incompetent Sec of Defense in American history is the one who abolished DEI.

⚡️ Multiple Russian ceasefire violations reported from front line during Easter ceasefire, Zelensky says. The Armed Forces of Ukraine has observed an increase in Russian shelling and the use of FPV drones "doubling."

Well, I guess it’s time to do a thread of all of the protests going on around the country for no kings day. First up Baltimore.

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

"Doable"? They haven't tried to end the war yet. How about putting pressure on Russia? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/w...

This certainly looks to be the case, particularly after Rubio threatening that the US has better things to do than put in the real work for a real peace agreement..

In any other administration, Vietnam's attempt to stave off tariffs by fast-tracking approval for a Trump resort would be an obscene violation of the Emoluments Clause. But bcz it's business as usual with Trump enriching himself, it's just another fucking day in the fascist USA.

A residential area in Dnipro burning after last night’s russian drone attack, w 3 ppl reportedly killed. As russia mocks and derails the US peace effort, Ukraine is likely to be punished again, because somehow russia is given a carrot by carrot while Ukraine gets all the sticks.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

“Palantir, the software company cofounded by Peter Thiel, is part of an effort by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to build a new ‘mega API’ for accessing Internal Revenue Service records, IRS sources tell WIRED.” 4/11/25 www.wired.com/story/palant...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.
