Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

The Trump administration just closed the CDC lab vital to detecting hepatitis C, which can cause liver cancer. This lab closing comes during a hepatitis C outbreak in Florida. www.npr.org/2025/04/16/n...

DOGE IS HACKING THE US GOVERNMENT—building a ‘master database’ of our sensitive info from the IRS, Social Security, HHS & voter rolls. No oversight. No safeguards. Just a surveillance machine waiting to be weaponized. They claim it’s about “efficiency” and tracking immigrants. It’s about control.

Been thinking a lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth. As a tan man from the Middle East, if Jesus were an undocumented American immigrant, I wonder if angry mobs would get ICE to deport him — especially for speaking out against greed and advocating for the poor.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: The corresponding proposal for a full and unconditional 30 days ceasefire has gone unanswered by Russia for 39 days. The United States made this proposal, Ukraine responded positively, but Russia ignored it.

Well, of course he does. After you kidnapped him, you locked him up with a bunch of real MS-13 gangbangers. 🙄 Stop acting 12. ‘He’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles’: Trump appears to hold up altered image of Abrego Garcia’s hand www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

“But according to a person familiar with the situation, a Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.”

The National Intelligence Council…determined in a secret assessment early this month that the Venezuelan government is not directing an invasion of the United States by the prison gang Tren de Aragua, a judgment that contradicts President Donald Trump’s public statements... wapo.st/4ipRoOd

Occasions will arise when the only reasonable response to a thing will be fuck you. apnews.com/video/trump-...  Trump calls the Florida State shooting a 'shame,' but says he'll 'always protect the 2nd Amendment'

Here's a chance to say what you mean and mean what you say about Florida repeating mistakes from its past by reinstating bear hunting: "Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission - Public Comment Tool for Proposed Changes to Bear Hunting Regulations" myfwc.com/hunting/bear/

He's a US citizen. Not a distraction. Help, @governor.ca.gov

Florida's legislature, now in session, is on task to enact law to lower age to buy "long guns," while it continues to flirt with allowing "open carry" on college campuses. They've done more to get phones out of classrooms. 🙄 wapo.st/4lBNh4B

⚡️‘This is a murder’ – Zelensky rebukes Trump for calling deadly Sumy strike a mistake. “Excuse me, but this is a murder. This strike went to the (city) center, it did not go to the front line,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

📣 BREAKING NEWS. In a late night appearance on The Last Word, esteemed Professor of Constitutional Law Laurence Tribe unequivocally said: "Donald Trump waged war on the United States, which is a form of treason." Donald Trump committed treason and I will repeat this fact until someone gives a damn.

If SCOTUS ends birthright citizenship, its not going to take very long for some ghoul to argue that since the 14th Amendment was passed to give formerly enslaved persons citizenship that, really, they were never naturalized & so their descendants never really had/have citizenship either, so...

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

www.cnn.com/2025/04/16/u... Dear Harvard, on behalf of all decent people everywhere, please tell DHS to fuck all the way off.

This is not hard! Building a road over, then a multilane gas station on, a well-used pedestrian greenway turns both into a deathtrap. It will become a lawsuit magnet. "Tallahassee Commission again considers eminent domain to block Circle K development" www.wctv.tv/2025/04/17/t...
