Imagine being scared of diversity, but not dictatorship.

I signed up for paperless and they sent me a letter telling me I signed up for paperless

NEW: Cory Booker at his town hall in Tucson, Arizona last night: "I have never witnessed in my life such an assault on the very ideals of our government. We are in a crisis. This is not normal. And it will continue until it is met with a demand from the people."

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

I am terrified that we are in “that part” right now. 😡😟😳

www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... This is the reality of our new Republic. Is THIS the America you believe in? Is THIS the country you would fight and DIE for? RISE UP NOW!! TIME IS RUNNING OUT! YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU! TO THE STREETS!

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

@passj.bsky.social Thank you so much for adding me to your awesome Starter Pack 💙 #StrongerTogether #BlueCrew #BlueResisters go.bsky.app/7pzmaXa

This is an absolutely horrifying example of authoritarianism at work. The description of this place is totally inhumane. We should definitely not be sending anyone anywhere near this place. It should be closed for humanitarian reasons. #USDemocracy www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

"I think it's only a matter of time before [a state attorney general] figures out how to file state kidnapping charges against those that are abducting people who are in the country legally..." says former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

Drumpf called us a “fat, dumb, foolish country”? Projection at its finest - have we ever had a fatter, dumber more foolish president?

We are in uncharted territory now. We MUST, MUST, MUST demand that the House do its job! The House of Representatives MUST do their job and hold the PRESIDENT accountable it is their DAMN JOB! Call them and DEMAND that they support their oath to the Constitution of the US. (202)224-3121 ☎️

So if Supreme Court orders don't matter anymore, I assume that means he no longer has immunity and abortion is legal in all 50 again.

It's going to be a lot easier to do this than what they'll need to be doing in a few months

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m proud of Harvard. They’re the first University to stand up for what’s right, and history is going to remember them for it.

"Homegrown Criminals" are anyone they say These guys have buried due process. Your rights are going away quickly www.fiftyfifty.one to become #StrongerTogether www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/...

Went upstairs to give my landlady a hand moving her recliner and couldn’t resist getting a little upper deck footage. Yeah, it’s raining again, but daaaaamn if this isn’t a gorgeous corner of the Galaxy.

Jeffries: The Supreme Court and or the federal district court actually needs to enforce its order. And the vehicles that are available relate to contempt, and that contempt can be directed at a variety of different members of the administration, including the Secretary of State…

Arghhh! Jesus on a Pogo Stick @reuters.com. Renditioning US citizens (and legal residents) to foreign gulags isn't a "test" of US law, it's a blatant and brazen violation of US law and the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

We are way past impeachment time

This was honestly the most disturbing day yet. And I’m including J6.

The dollar continues to collapse amid rising doubts about its safe-haven status, Bloomberg reports. Meanwhile the Euro is surging, on its fastest rally in more than 15 years.

If you’re afraid, swap it out for anger. We don’t have time to be retreating to the fetal position. We do not. You can’t allow fear to become so familiar that it becomes comfortable. That’s the path to the afterlife.

With all the focus on the Maryland father sent to the El Salvador gulag, nobody is talking about the 10 additional prisoners just sent there with no due process, which the Supreme Court had ordered. We are now in a lawless Dictatorship! #DictatorDon www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

This is no longer left vs. right. It’s democracy vs. autocracy. Everyone must pick a side. We choose democracy. Join us on 4/19.

Welcome to Bluesky Mohamed ! If you don't know him, he is literally one of the smartest minds on international trade and economics !

ALL representatives and senators are responsible - not just the Democrats We can change their positions

There we go.

At some point in the future every member of Trump's administration are going to say: "I was just following orders" Unless we join together and stop them now #strongertogether

Yes ✅👇🏾👇🏾

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

First he was just being a dick to those you didn't like. Then you invited him back to be a dictator. Guess what now he is a dick to you too...happy now?

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

"First they came for..." You know the poem We're about to lose our rights Join together now - we're so much stronger together It's Americans vs Cultists There's a lot more of us 50501movement.org #handsoff #50501movement #April19th

After watching that press conference with the dictator of El Salvador, another red line has been crossed. Who is tolerating this? They stole our DATA.They illegally kidnap HUMAN BEINGS. They destroy so many lives. Innocent lives. They are criminals who belong in prison. We MUST stand up to Tyranny.

BREAKING: China has stopped importing US beef. Australia has stepped up to fill in the gap. The US’s $2.5 billion beef trade to China has come to a halt. Thanks to the POS in chief, agent Krasnov, “winning” is actually losing. America is really not awesome rn. amp.abc.net.au/article/1051...

BREAKING: Last week’s trade data shows an incredibly bleak picture for the economy: - 49% drop in global container bookings - 64% drop in U.S. imports. - 30% drop in U.S. exports.
