"I believe, sadly, Russian narratives are prevailing in the U.S." "This speaks to the enormous influence of Russia's information policy on America, on U.S. politics, and U.S. politicians." - President Zelensky

This is GREAT NEWS… Pass. It. On. 😎✨

Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove LGBTQ themed books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

Princeton, then Harvard. Courage is contagious.

Just to note that this Administration is clearly very concerned about antisemitism until an actual act of antisemitism occurs on Passover directed at an elected official on public property. The silence is deafening.

“.. ‘This is their M.O.,’ Mr. Mahdawi’s lawyer, Luna Droubi, said. ‘They just continue to hide the individual to the point where their attorneys can’t quite understand or identify where to file.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

Yes, this is who we are. For now. Whether it’s who we shall remain is up for grabs.

They do not want facts to interfere with the propaganda.

We need Edolf out of our government ASAP. Make all the noise that you can!

BREAKING: A day ends in “y”

An Idaho police officer has pled guilty as part of a plea offer of probation for CSAM charges. He took pics of an old neighbors daughter, digitally altered them to make them sexually explicit, pretended to be her online, & distributed the images. Meet Officer Caleb Sickinger

Spray paint a penis on a Cyberjunk and it makes the international news. Try to kill a U.S. governor who is Jewish on Passover? Crickets after a small, initial petit outrage.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

When I was young, there were <1,000 bald eagles in the lower 48 due to DDT, hunting, and habitat loss, and we never saw one the whole time roaming the prairies and mountains of SD. Today, there are 70,000+ and I see them daily. Governments can and should effect positive change.

Call your Senators!

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

With apologies to Opus, Bloom County and Outland:

On Thurs, the Supreme Court ordered Trump to return Abrego Garcia (the Maryland father mistakenly deported) from El Salvador to the US. Trump’s DOJ shrugged their shoulders & said “not our job.” El Salvador’s dictator is here in the US meeting with Trump today. What do you think will happen next?

"Because of the PEPFAR funding freeze, she found that an adult life will be lost every 3 minutes and a child will die every 31 minutes."

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Of course he has!

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

Tourism contributes $2.5 trillion to US economy, about 10% of our GDP. This kind of thuggish behavior hurts American businesses that cater to visitors: hotels, restaurants, airlines, car rentals, and all the millions of people who work in them.

Current situation of the latest Russian atrocity in Sumy: 31 people died, including 2 children. 84 people were injured, including 10 children.

Hate on the rise in America. Antisemitism, Anti- LGBTQ, Anti-Immigrant. This is what happens under Fascism! Gov. Josh Shapiro & his family were evacuated from the governor’s residence after someone set fire to the building. The fire broke out on the first night of the Jewish holiday Passover!

How about we start treating people like people? Is that too much to ask?

Fluoridated water at 0.7 ppm (parts per million) is NOT neurotoxic. It DOES improve dental health & overall health. Lead IS neurotoxic at a dose of 0.05 ppm in kids. Good thing RFK Jr cut the CDC lead poisoning prevention team & wants to ban fluoride. We are gonna be so much healthier, right? 🙄
