The new White House tip line to report immigrants is bombarded with calls to arrest Musk 😆

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

“In one video… a voice claiming to be Zuckerberg says that “it’s normal to feel uncomfortable or even violated as we forcefully insert AI into every facet of your conscious experience. And I just want to assure you, you don’t need to worry because there’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop it.””

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨They are going to force SENIORS to use X to reach Social Security assistance!!!!!👇👇👇👇

Tonight the Supreme Court made it possible to have m ore cases like Andry's, by requiring that people challenging Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act file individual habeas corpus lawsuits. Many people in detention don't have any money to hire a lawyer. They won't be able to do this.

#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie." Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

Kinda feels like many people are either in one of two camps right now: 1) doing all they possibly can to stand up to &/or prevent fascism from taking root Or 2) hoping the people in #1 above win Hope & prayers don’t work. Use your voice while you still have the legal right to do so. 🇨🇦VOTE 🇨🇦

The Premier is celebrating a “big win” while thousands of people are losing their jobs and energy prices are plummeting. We need a plan to protect workers and strengthen our industries, but she is more interested in securing her next appearance on Fox News than in addressing Albertans' needs.

Amanda Marcotte describes the disturbing misogyny of RFK Jr's "MAHA mom" program, which hypes shady supplements & diet fads as part of the larger MAGA agenda of getting women out of the workplace & back, quite literally, into the kitchen.

“Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” ~The Diary of Anne Frank

Who is this, pushing, shoving and intimidating journalists in Newfoundland? And what are the CONservatives afraid of? Censoring journalists & denying access is not acceptable. #NeverTrustCONservatives.

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?" This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there. He has some thoughts.

Inside the horrific “judicial black hole” of El Salvador’s prison system — which should be a wakeup call for Americans living under Trump. Read @nikkimcr.bsky.social's harrowing coverage of El Salvador’s prisons under President Nayib Bukele.

This propagandist is another one to prosecute.

Again, if you've got a Republican representing you in Congress -- and I don't care who it is -- call them to complain about the tariffs. They're panicking.

Trump's designs on #Greenland are a heads-up for #Canada @JDVance, @VP, remarks at a Greenland presser are disgusting. @GeoffyPJohnston, @WhigStandard, and I discuss his column, “Imperialist America covets Greenland.” youtu.be/12oAAViW9ow

The people who support this know that *their* kids will never have to do this, and they have no problem with "those other people" suffering.

Let's keep reminding Americans, it's "Trump taxes". .. Trump truck taxes .. Trump lumber taxes .. Trump TV taxes Make the American People hate Trump & his taxes by repeatedly reminding them every day, who it is they should hate..Trump and all those Republicans that let him put taxes on everything.

How about we stop calling them tariffs? What if we call them Trump taxes? Trump truck taxes, Trump lumber taxes, Trump TV taxes, etc, etc. Make the American People hate Trump taxes and by reminding them who did it hate the guy and the @GOP that let him put taxes on everything.

Secret jails making money with kickbacks to I wonder who?

DeSmog and @nationalobserver.com obtained audio of the private gala in Florida where AB premier Danielle Smith spoke with Ben Shapiro. They discussed how Canada can elect 'solid allies' to Trump and raised over $1M for PragerU. @geoffdembicki.bsky.social has more: www.desmog.com/2025/03/27/d...

Hahaha, is the White House now the *hite (Shite) House? Ahahahaha With the unelected traitor Felon occupying it, it is surely that.

Military mom here: fire every one of the assholes who endangered the lives of American troops with a Signal chat.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

What the actual fuck:

Now you can read the Signal group chat texts and decide for yourself whether this is information that should have been classified www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This will produce a Chernobyl-style MAGA meltdown.

The CIA Director put it into the chat...

Check out how your public school dollars are being used to fund private school programs. In 2021-22, over $42 million! #ableg #abed #abpoli #JoinTheResistance 👇👇👇

“AHS signed a $70-million deal with MHCare to import 5 million bottles of medicine from Turkey. Only 1.5 million bottles arrived in the province and the Edmonton-based company has been sitting on $49.2-million of Alberta’s money for more than a year…”

Hey everyone. Please post both here and on Twitter. We have to do social media everywhere we can. Keep both accounts open. Do double posts. We're at war. An information war. Be persistent. Flood the zone with truth. And remember, do not engage with trolls.

A great idea! Pass it on. 🇨🇦

Ok...I have to admit...this made me tear up!! Thank you to everyone involved. ❤️
