RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Proud to be one of the organizers of this important demonstration. Join is in DC on June 6th.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

Goldman Sachs has just put out a warning about a full US-China financial decoupling which would wipe out $2.5 trillion. US investors might be forced to sell $800 billion in Chinese stocks, while China could liquidate $1.7 trillion in US assets, including Treasuries and equities. Boom.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

1/ I think it's good that Murkowski is speaking out about the fear of retaliation that she and other MOC fear. Like everything else, the more people who do that, the harder it becomes to intimidate people and pick them off one-by-one.

A DOGE whistleblower contends that their carelessness exposed private government data to a Russian breach. This is a high crime committed by a runaway executive branch. This is treason. Punishable by death, if true. cybernews.com/security/whi...

😜We’re coming Donnie!

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today? And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

Something has changed. People are fired up and ready to stop the chaos and cruelty. Keep it up.

Bring it you fascist fuck.

You know the idea is good when you’ve finally gone to bed and you’re typing it on your phone in the dark at 4:30 am. Let’s hope the inspiration is still here in the morning. Er… later in the morning.

👍

Crockett: This is coming from someone who clearly reads on a first grade level. So I don't know why she's trying to clown Sarah, who obviously is a constituent of hers

🤣

this is just a horrible, pathological liar. we know that. but they know they've lost the public on this one. the escalation is the giveaway

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

JUST IN: Lawyers for Alien Enemies Act targets ask Judge Boasberg to keep his case alive by permitting them to file habeas claims for the people currently in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

Stupid much?! 👇

When it’s about ‘Hands Off,’ that also applies to public schools ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/04/16/w...

ICE targeting elementary school children is child abuse, period.

This is unconscionable. If these fuckers came for any of the kids I work with I’ll be honest I’d do whatever I had to do to protect them.

Dear ICE, Americans hate you. Gestapo work will be close you during our Nuremberg trials. Be prepared to never enjoy peace.

FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE speeding tickets in ONE YEAR in SCHOOL ZONES. This person is willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars annually to keep endangering their fellow NYers. We should be able to impound the vehicles of these sociopaths.

JD is pretty freaking lucky that Pope Francis has been occupied with his own life-and-death concerns over the past few weeks because the pope who lived through years of Argentine disappearances absolutely has strong opinions about what this administration is doing with El Salvador.

FUCK RFKJR! My son is amazing! My son is incredibly caring! My son is learning to read & write just like other kid his age! He has a spectacular imagination! His autism doesn't make him a drain on society! No one with ASD is damaged!

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

Every one of these DOJ lawyers lying to the courts should be disbarred. Bar associations are on notice. Do you really care about the rule of law and democracy? If so, ACT!

This is the guy who thinks you should blindly trust him about what’s good for the country and for you as a citizen.

boston globe editorial board: harvard is making the right decision, and universities should band together to fight. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/16/o...

Montana showing up!!!

Marco Rubio says that Americans living in Europe shouldn't ever have to face any ramifications for their political speech online. The chutzpah is jaw-dropping, as he is PERSONALLY trying to deport legal immigrants for their political speech in the United States.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

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.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

How many people do you think have received threats from Trump, Musk & their goons? Thousands? This interview by Rachel Maddow was chilling. You must watch & share it because our government is being attacked from within! The bravery of Daniel Berulis is so inspiring. I hope it's contagious. 🧵

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"
