Ex-Republican turned Democrat: I hate everything this party stands for, but Trump is the Devil incarnate and I will stop at nothing to see him cast back into Hell. Ex-Democrat turned MAGA: Like the Donald, I became a victim of vicious lawfare after a mere 255 "allegations" of rape and tax fraud...

trump is the president of the US, but he talks like he wandered in off the street and someone handed him a news article and he glanced at the headline.

If you know anyone who lives overseas, but voted in North Carolina, send this to them!

Breaking News: Senator Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador.

For a man who tries to paint himself as an anti-intellectualist and who once praised President Richard Nixon for saying “professors are the enemy,” Vance is using a lot of Ivy League jargon as a smokescreen to attack a fundamental tenet of the American judicial system. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

The takeaway from this is *resist* because his authoritarianism may just keep coming but will be made much more difficult if he is politically weak.

"The core of the document is saying the king is a tyrant. The argument of the Declaration is that the king was depriving the colonists of their rights. Some of those rights perhaps haven’t resonated w/Americans before now, like depriving them of trials or making them have trials far away from home."

I don't get it... How do we tell which picture is Donald Trump and which one is CJ Stroud when they're not labeled? Or is it CJ Stroud in both pictures and that's the point - that they're identical? #donaldtrump #cjstroud #nfl #houstontexans #texans #houston #tx #trump #whitehouse #presidenttrump

This. Thank you Senator Tammy #Duckworth !!! bsky.app/profile/thej...

Deep respect to Sen. Tammy Duckworth for saying what too many won’t: Republicans have shown ZERO resistance to Trump & Musk’s brutal agenda—jacking up costs, firing thousands of veterans, and threatening to gut Medicaid & Social Security. If they cared, they’d grow a spine. @duckworth.senate.gov

The FDA is hiring contractors to replace fired workers that refused to comply with a heroin addict. Termination letters stated that those jobs were “unnecessary or virtually identical” to others. But that language is seemingly contradicted by plans to outsource the work to private companies.

“I can…assure you that were this a Republican president…targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies."

Great news folks. Marco Rubio will not stand for the federal government or its agencies targeting institutions or organizations because of their political beliefs. That’s third-world stuff that can’t be allowed to happen here. You still believe all this, Marco, right? Right?

"We are outsourcing torture and murder. What kind of president, what kind of political party, can look at that with satisfaction?" And what American can not at least wonder about their own security? New from @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/are-any-of...

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

If there was no value in our work, why did they steal it?

Jon #Ossoff is impressive. He is definitely on the list of strong #Dems to #lead us out of this #trump #dumpsterfire www.ossoff.senate.gov/about/

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

Your reward for making it to Friday is Pope Francis going Kendrick Lamar on Trump.

Trump reacts to Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador

SURPRISE!!!! The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public. This is how authoritarian states are run.

This little shittard has never gotten over teenage angst and is on a hellbent path of destruction of all.

Wow. David Brooks is recommending Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan's *Why Civil Resistance Works.* I never thought I'd see the day. @chenoweth.bsky.social @mariajstephan.bsky.social Time for a Civic Uprising www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Donald Trump is defying a Supreme Court order and illegally deporting legal residents like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is a constitutional crisis and we need to treat it as an attack on our Democracy. It’s time for a Democratic delegation to head to El Salvador.

We're doing something new over on the YouTube channel (in addition to our usual news commentary): free videos on how to organize for, live through, and just flat out handle the current moment. First one just dropped. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfqh...
