1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina But that claim is false We have receipts

If you really wanna know what true evil looks like, look no further than this. 🤢🤢🤢🤮

Peggy Flanagan (D) announced her candidacy for the 2026 Minnesota Senate race. This race is ranked LEAN DEMOCRAT by cookpolitical.com bsky.app/profile/pegg... @

Have any “rule of law” Republicans disavowed Trump for refusing to comply with the Supreme Court or nah?

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

Awesome, we’re now up to $1473. Let’s keep it going! Who’s in for $25 or $50? gofund.me/b2c3a123

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

Zelensky tonight during 60 minutes interview…. 1,700 school Hit 600 children Dead 780 hospitals Hit 13,000 civilians Dead 100,000 Soldiers dead

Warren: But this also happens to be a case where it’s not just the DOJ and SEC with jurisdiction. State attorneys general all across the country have power here too. That’s why a group of us just sent a letter to every state attorney general, urging them to launch independent investigations.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The man tapped by RFK, Jr to run a clinical trial looking to tie vaccines to autism has been charged with practicing medicine without a license, giving autistic children a dangerous drug not approved for use in the U.S. and improperly prescribing puberty blockers www.yahoo.com/news/head-rf...

Thousands packed the Huntsman Center to hear Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speak. WATCH HERE: bit.ly/3XYc2xT 📸: Sarah Hugo

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

Remember when Trump rushed to NC for a photo op and promised to rescue western NC after Joe Biden “failed”? Apparently helping is “NOT WARRANTED” after all. On Friday, April 11, 2025, FEMA announced the White House had denied NC’s request for FEMA to extend full reimbursement for Helene damages.

If you saw this creep approaching you on a dark street, tell me you wouldn't have one hand on your cell phone and one hand on your pepper spray. Creepy AF.

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) is a low-cost and effective form of life-saving food aid. It fights global hunger and saves lives while supporting American farmers and agricultural communities. Despite its success, RUTF funding fell victim to DOGE cuts at USAID.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

All I'm saying is, the "Me me me me me more leftist than you" people on this app DIDNT EVEN VOTE. Don't listen to any of those dumb motherfuckers, they helped pave the road to hell, and they're still doing it.

1/ The air defence system that Russia inherited from the USSR is reported to be severely undermanned and under-equipped, despite the Kremlin's efforts to renovate it. Post-Soviet cutbacks have left it unable to counter Ukrainian drone attacks. ⬇️

We haven’t reached bottom yet. Because there is no bottom to his moral depravity.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Thousands of jobs. Cleaner transit. Less traffic. A direct line from Dallas to Houston. That’s what this project could’ve meant for Texas— but instead, the Trump Administration shut it down.

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

A very good question!

@jentaub.bsky.social speaks in plain language we all understand and need to hear. Watch this youTube that came out today, you'll be more prepared it you do. #Resist ✊ www.youtube.com/live/5sIpPc9...

🚨⚠️🔥🗽🇺🇲🔥⚠️🚨 Trump next move is to send "Home grown" CITIZENS to El Salvador's GULAGS Bukele laughs in agreement Images in the beginning are of the Salvadoran people protesting Bukele's brutal Dictatorship and numerous Human Rights Violations bsky.app/profile/baph...

SHARE! This is an a ATTACK on OUR VOTING RIGHTS! 😡

The worst part of all this is: WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. We know who this man is. There are no surprises in his conduct. He’s a habitual liar in most interactions, but when it comes to telling the public how evil his mind is, he’s been very straightforward.

I caught Cornyn saying he is a conman and a fraud. I thought he was talking about the felon but, no, he was talking about Ken Paxton. There are so many it's hard to keep track!

This West Texas measles outbreak is literally Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton being local political leopards again just like during the pandemic.😷

More. Of. This.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Gross: The GOP is planning $5.3 TRILLION in tax cuts for their Sugar Daddy donors. And WE are going to PAY for them through tariffs and cuts to our healthcare. #MAGABlowingYourTaxes
