Oh. My. God.

trying to be normal in the elevator

This! Perfect!

ProPublica is doing some of the most important 4th Estate work-

⚡️Republican US Congressman Fitzpatrick visits Ukraine’s front line, signs a shell for Putin. "I encourage all my colleagues in Congress to come here," U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, a pro-Ukraine Republican representing Pennsylvania, said during his visit to the front line.

More than 400 anti-Trump rallies planned in another wave of US protests

Biblical scholars now believe that if Jesus had covered up his gang tattoos, he might’ve avoided crucifixion.

“Give Us Barabbas” Freeing the guilty. Crucifying the innocent. Washing their hands. Charlie Sykes Apr 18, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Comrade Trump is THE water boy for both Xi & Putin. I Trained at an Amazon Center in Hangzhou. You’d Be Surprised What They Think of Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/o...

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Rocio harvests oranges in Woodlake, CA. She goes up & down a ladder many times a day w/a 80lb sack of oranges. The bin she fills is a 5-min run away. She's paid $25 per 1000lb bin and usually fills 4 bins in 6 hrs. The price per bin has been the same the last 5 yrs. #WeFeedYou

Beautiful.

"Why autogenocide? This post is for people who are wondering why I used the term autogenocide in the Binding Chaos series and as part of the #3E movement." #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy

. Imagine being more upset at 60 Minutes than Russian missiles killing kids. But hey, when your loyalty lies in Moscow not Missouri I guess murdered Ukrainians are just “inconvenient.” Trump’s still doing PR for Putin while pretending he’s the victim. 🥴 Clown. 🤡 .

The problem is, none of this is breaking through to ‘regular’ low-information people. If we don’t figure out how to do that quickly, I’m not sure we have a chance to stop this momentum.

Call your GOP House and Senate Members and ask if they support War Criminal Putin. If they play dumb, tell them about Putin's cluster munitions used in Ukraine. Paint them in a corner. Force them to take a position. Putin needs to be tried at the Hague!

The number of dead has risen to 34 and over 100 injured from Russia’s Palm Sunday terrorist attack in Ukraine.

She is right, if we don't change, the results will be more of the same dynamics that have landed us here. It's past time for a purposeful change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

If the government can “deport” you for having beliefs they don’t like, none of us is free. Call it what you want, but it sure as shit ain’t democracy.

At a CNN town hall moderated by Anderson Cooper, Sen. Bernie Sanders explained why he believes both political parties are influenced by a corrupt campaign finance system.

Yesterday some said the President’s pause was “art of the deal perfect execution” Scott Bessent said this was always the plan. Tonight Stocks are down Bonds are down Who planned this?

Yes, it's long, but, it's worth sharing.

Democratic House Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Donald Trump: “The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is wild to me.” Same.

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

What in the fresh hell?

Truth in this 👇

The likelihood of market manipulation and profiteering here is hard to overstate.

"Detaining a mother and her three children hundreds of miles away is not, apparently, a political winner. Nor is detaining the caregiver of a girl with bone cancer. Or the undocumented wife of a U.S. citizen."

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Crossing into the United States has become increasingly dangerous for digital privacy, not only for non-citizens but for Americans as well. Here are a few steps you can take to minimize the risk of Customs and Border Protection accessing your data:

I hope other university alliances start pooling resources and engaging in the kinds of collective action Rutgers is proposing here for the Big Ten. senate.rutgers.edu/report/resol...

When this is over, no forgiveness for those involved. There will be trials. There will be consequences. 😡😡😡

Sunday morning press shows are nothing more than opportunities for GOP spin & sane washing. There is no connection to massive protests nor, actual awareness of what is going on out here in the world.

As the Trump administration pulls government websites and data offline, it is selectively stripping away the public record, letting the president declare his own version of history, archivists and historians said. nyti.ms/3E9ZtIT

We spoke with North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs after a state court ruling put 65k ballots in her race at risk. Along with promising to appeal the ruling, Justice Riggs described how this is "a fight for the very soul of democracy." Watch the full interview: youtu.be/8HfXI4d1byk

Here’s the economy in a nutshell. If you make 50k a year and someone magically doubles your salary, it will change your life. If you make 1 million a year and someone magically doubles your salary, it really won’t make that much difference in your life. Three words: Tax the rich.

So much sadness wrapped in the truth of these words. Genies never go back in their bottles & there is no such thing as "going back" to the way things were, especially when it was a myth based in on a racist hazy dream.

I have a friend in the Tri-Cities in WA - quite red - & they are going to a protest there. They say there are several planned even in nearby red towns along the Idaho border, plus ones Eastern OR.

Where we got it wrong Now lets fix it!
