What are the odds that to spin his heinous fuckup into a faux victory tv moment that the Salvadoran president will bring back the man Trump sent to prison there without cause www.thedailybeast.com//trump-doj-f...

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

Some news from the man who lies about everything

They let him back in White House after Jan 6th. That is the biggest political crime ever in this nation.

“I never thought I was going to lose this much money this fast.”

Aspiring Nazi who wanted to overthrow the government. You'll rarely hear MAGA and Republicans talk about white supremacist terrorists. abcnews.go.com/US/wisconsin...

What dictators do, not presidents: “the new, striking artwork depicting Mr. Trump drew criticism from some presidential historians, who could not recall another president hanging a painting of himself during his term in the White House.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

Reminder: Trump’s crypto coin is an obvious avenue for bribery, and everyone should be horrified — Good explanation 👇🏽 (And everyone who wanted Biden charged for bribery is silent 🤐 as Trump moves to free the informant who lied to the FBI about it)

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social repping Tennessee at the massive #FightOligarchy rally with @aoc.bsky.social & @sanders.senate.gov in LA today. 36,000+ in attendance. www.instagram.com/p/DIXnIxIv9s...

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

CDC unable to respond to lead crisis due to funding cuts.

Who’s gonna tell this clown the news?

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

they want jim crow history for a jim crow society

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Never forget the simple truth. Republicans are not “accidentally” trying to dismantle democracy.

“America hates two things: soccer and kindness.“ – Jason Sedakis

Bukele has some constraints of his own working against the charade. His official line is they *are* being held for the US, they're accused of nothing under Salvadoran law even through the usual sham process, and b/c of that he dodges directly saying he'd refuse if the US said release or return them.

When you’ve lost the DAILY MAIL

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Decent and certainly qualified picks for board seats — also politically astute when it come to Powell — and a sharp contrast to the fetid Dana White www.axios.com/2025/04/11/e...

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

WOW holy shit they’re gonna ignore the unanimous Supreme Court ruling on bringing Abrego Garcia home to Maryland….Trump just posted that the people they send to El Salvador "are in the sole custody of El Salvador and their future is up to President Bukele and his Government."

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

Just got hit with my first Trump Tariff Tax: My espresso drink from Starbucks just shut up from $8.15 to $9.40. That’s a $1.25 extra that wouldn’t exist if Trump had kept his hands off the economy.

You don’t need to be tech savvy to see this corrupt payback. Tech CEOs & their companies deluged Trump with donations, parties, project announcements & more—and now, tariff relief worth billions. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

Zeteo warned about Project Esther six months ago. As with Project 2025, everything that was promised by the far right is coming to pass. zeteo.com/p/project-es...

I never realized there was a class of people for whom the History Channel version of WWII was “too complicated”

This is what Musk and DOGE have *actually* tried to do: -- Kill USAID (investigating Starlink) -- Kill CFPB (regulator for X to be payment app) -- Move $2.3 BILLION contract from Verizon to Starlink -- Force Social Security Administration to use X exclusively 100% CORRUPTION

Exactly

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

"How MAGA Mainstreamed Fascism Through The Manosphere" MAGA radicalized and influenced an entire generation of young men by weaponizing culture to Trojan Horse their authoritarian politics. This is how we fight back. W/ @ilyseh.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

"To that end, I have twenty questions for Mr. Rubio, and I encourage all reporters covering him and the State Department to be candid in seeking clarification on what constitutes 'anti-Christian bias' under his new policy..." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/questions-...

Very fair requests by attorneys for Abrego Garcia⬇️ Needed transparency for all the detainees unlawfully sent to El Salvador torture center. - compel government to produce written documents on agreement with El Salvador - require government officials to appear as witnesses before district court

Judge Xinis said Friday “There are no business hours in this court.” I’ll be keeping an eye on her docket this evening given Trump’s late and insufficient response to her order, and Abrego Garcia’s motion to show cause. Not to mention Trump’s assertion that Bukele has sole custody.

I bet more Republicans than Democrats had already recognized him.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

#BillMaher thinks he’s smart but disproves it EVERY time he opens his loud mouth!
