Andry Romero, a gay makeup artist came to the US last year in search of asylum. He did not show up for his scheduled court date - ICE had seized him & took him to brutal prison in El Salvador. His family is desperately worried. Senator request to see him was denied. Proof of life denied.

The orange felon claims he’s made 200 trade deals so far. Which really means he hasn’t made one single deal because there hasn’t been one single trade agreement announced. He’s a pathological liar and a fraud.

No song for this shit show.

has anyone studied this

wait. there were *two* judges arrested?

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

I'll say this as many times as it needs to be said. Save our Freaks. Don't mine the Deep. (also maybe unfollow NOAA. They're a disinformation account at this point. Fuck.)

Makers of our food and home essentials, including Pepsi and Procter & Gamble, are cutting their financial forecasts for the year and predicting lower sales or profits than before.

How can anyone with a conscience be okay with this?

We are no longer headed toward fascism. We're right in the heart of downtown fascism.

Hi, I’m God. How many pandemics must I send before humans once again learn to revere scientists? How many millions must die? Not trying to be dramatic, just earnestly inquiring for My Notes. Thanks, God

Remember these words… “I will vote for you if you are brave…”

To be clear, “dr” Mehmet Oz is a career fraudster and known foreign agent for Turkey, he is in no way rooting out fraud, waste or abuse because that is exactly how got rich.

not beating the allegations

Let’s start with the basics.

Rick Scott urges people not to buy the Trump Bible and most MAGA merch.

Pete Hegseth’s personal phone number — which he used in a top security Signal chat — could be found on WhatsApp, Facebook, a fantasy sports site, and reviews left for a plumber and dentist. Read more: trib.al/R7JrKM6

It's time for veterans to unite and pushback against the attacks on our healthcare, benefits, and community. The Unite for Veterans march in DC on D-Day this year will bring together the full range of the veterans community to demand our rights as veterans of earlier generations did too!

This gives me chills. Who is ready to ride once more? Vets march in DC, June 6. @fpwellman.bsky.social @unite4vets.bsky.social #unite4vets

Veterans across the country are watching our institutions being chipped away. We've seen the power of veterans working together to make our country better. So we won’t sit it out. On D-Day, we’re taking a stand. www.unite4veterans.org

I have been following the emergence of Stephen Miller’s beliefs about the law. Remarkably, he thinks: -Jan 6 defendants did not get due process despite trials, juries, etc. -Abrego Garcia did get due process despite admin lies, violation of judicial orders, gulag. /1

If you wondered what Hegseth’s lack of discipline means for his troops, I checked recent courts martial and found this man of the people still allows them to be sent to the brig for offenses like indecent language and dishonorable failure to pay a debt. With a straight face.

Huge crowd in Lansdale last night. People ask why we do these. Democracy must be seen to be believed now. Trump wants people to see only him, and to slowly stop believing. Nope. Everyone deserves to be listened to and told the truth. That’s America and that’s why we do town halls.

Anyone who said Abrego Garcia was the wrong fight, witness the spreading of the cancer. What they claimed about the undocumented they now claim for the documented. Revoke the document and now an entire agency (ICE) can enter homes w/o warrants? The lawlessness has no limits.

A reason to be hopeful: I’m seeing Democrats speak out and organize in places where, 8 years ago, people told me they were reluctant to put up signs. So let’s do this Crawford County. Help out our local party tomorrow at 1pm. I’ll be there speaking. www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship. What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

Here’s an idea: If these “Christian” men are uncomfortable viewing artistic nudes, maybe they just shouldn’t look at them? Give me a fucking break. What a bunch of wussies.

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?
