Here's a tariff. Here's a deportation. Here's a Christian nationalist order. Here's the defunding of schools and libraries and museums and medical research. Here's higher prices on every good. Here's a cut to gut childcare. Here's soaring rents and stagnant wages. Are we great yet?

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

Stay loud stay visible stay brave

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

Everyone who served in the military knew a lieutenant like Hegseth. We just never imagined that we would ever have a president who would make one of those dipshits Sec of Defense because he liked his rap on TV.

Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

IYKYK.

This Hegseth thing is funny and all β€” but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

We’re here!!

Friendly reminder that two "Supreme Court Justices" are COMPLETELY fine with shipping a legal resident of this country off to a foreign prison with zero due process.

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Let the peeps flow. Easter candy is arguably the worst ever.

This one would know from hapless rubes. All at once he lectures on topics he knows squat about, insults a true pro and, as always, manages to squeeze in a self aggrandizement of how smart of an investor he purports himself to be. Truth: Thirstiest VC in SV.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Only the best people πŸ˜‘ What could possibly go wrong?

The week was dominated by news about the Maryland man illegally deported to El Salvador. But there was also concern over tariffs and Robert F. Kennedy's work as Health and Human Services secretary.

This seems like a BFD.

I live in a small tourism driven city(Waco) in central TX. Always bustling with foreign folk milling about. Not many years ago our downtown was a ghost town. I have a knot in my throat. Are we returning to days of yore?

READ THE ROOM CUOMO! AOC Is currently our party’s Darling daredevil.. beloved for standing up to Trump. @aoc.bsky.social

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if there is NEW evidence that would change a determination *already made by a judge*, the government needs to present it in that court and get the determination changed. Re-litigating a judge's determination based on old evidence on TV isn't due process

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Almost every business that had tariffed goods from China is going to end up leaving these imports on the ships at port as the yard fills up with unclaimed product… gonna be a bastard of a gridlock.

A Brer Rabbit move!!

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to β€œfacilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

Molly Jong-Fast: β€œI'm going to respectfully push back on this. This is thought policing 101. This is not okay. They are using anti-antisemitism as a cloak. This is about targeting speech. It has nothing to do with anti-antisemitism and everything to do with authoritarianism.” #HarvardUniversity

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

So no foreign tourists. Foreign student enrollment is down in our universities. Deportation of farm workers and hospitality employees. THANK GOD FLORIDA MAKING IT LEGAL FOR CHILDREN TO FILL THESE SPOTS!

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Jfc 😳😑

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.
