Fairly liberal, nearly middle age, and currently living in arguably the worst state. I'm sure that I will make astute observations in this app that shock and awe.

Republicans just started markup on their Screw America plan—in the dead of night. No cameras. No accountability. Just cruelty. They’re hiding. I’m not. I’ll be here every hour fighting back. Trump, Elon, and the GOP won’t get away with screwing over the American people.

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. - Anne Frank

Mayor Baraka was ARRESTED for doing what Republicans claim to care about: OVERSIGHT. Like the true leaders they are, Rep. Coleman, @replamonica.bsky.social, & @menendez.house.gov were right there with him. The Trump admin keeps weaponizing power against anyone who dares hold them accountable.

Sarah Fuckabee Sanders is still begging her fuhrer to send federal aid to Arkansas after recent tornados. When a favored child (who has never had an ill public word for her leader) can't get the support her constituents need, that doesn't bode well for the rest of America.

We don’t like countless international days — but this one matters. 🥳 A free press protects us, and our democracy. Support journalists. Support your media. Buy newspapers. ✍🏼📰 #PressFreedomDay

It’s the law.

🤔 you should have to pass the U.S. Citizenship test before you can become President of the U.S.

Trump’s organization is out here selling Trump 2028 hats like the Constitution is just a suggestion. Reminder: The 22nd Amendment exists. You can’t run for a third term.

Well I think the "list of states to which i would happily relocate" is laid out neatly here. Link: apnews.com/article/tari...

Mahmoud Khalil Rümeysa Öztürk Mohsen Mahdawi Alireza Doroudi Kseniia Petrova Kilmar Ábrego García Andry José Hernández Romero + 100s More Deported. Disappeared. Dehumanized. Don’t forget their names & don’t look away. Keep fighting until justice is served & every abuse of power is held to account.

Could you imagine though?

Destroying the Cornerstone of America: This 1932 cartoon expressed the anger many Americans felt toward indiscriminate cost-cutting in public education.

Pam Bondi claims court transcripts confirm Abrego Garcia is a gang member. She is ignoring the latest court debunking of those gang allegations from Judge Paula Xinis. In short, the claims are baseless: www.ahmedbaba.news/p/trump-is-e...

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

“Where are the “Free Kilmar” billboards? Where are the front-page stories counting down his days in hellish captivity? Why was today the first time his family was featured on new and old media outlets? The conspiracy of silence and complacency must end.” New from Jen Rubin.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

BREAKING NEWS

Sometimes I wish I had a common name, like Ashley Smith or something, so that I could get away with saying some truly outrageous shit on social media with no fear of social consequences.

When it comes to the sharpest declines in the S&P 500 in the 21st century, the Trump tariffs rank alongside 9/11, the global financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The difference? The Trump tariffs are a self-inflicted wound.

Yuh

Under this theory, there is also nothing that prevents them from shipping *American citizens* to a gulag in El Salvador and saying "nothing we can do."

T.A.N.K.E.D.

The attorney representing the Department of Justice, Erez Reuveni, said the Trump administration is not challenging the merits of the case and the only argument it has is that the Maryland court lacks jurisdiction because Abrego Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador.
