Add “kids receiving unemployment benefits” to list of DOGE hysteria later walked back/which had reasonable explanations. “Social security payments to Ukraine,” “$50M in condoms for Hamas”… everything looks like a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

Excellent article. If people - all of us - don’t go along an authoritarian cannot succeed. “The key to challenging authoritarian regimes, Stephan said, is for citizens to decline to participate in immoral and illegal acts.”

The four Democrats who voted for the SAVE Act were Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Ed Case, Henry Cuellar, and Jared Golden. End their careers as soon as you can; harangue them when you see them in public. This was an irredeemable act of voter suppression.

The administration has been given permission by the courts to deport people simply because their beliefs...their thoughts and ideas...are unacceptable to Trump and his team. This is profoundly un-American (even if it has happened before) and worse, it will be as destructive to higher ed in the US...

This is insane. Also this brazen grift must be challenged.

The real anti-semites are the ones behind the sham campaign against anti-semitism in universities. Their goal is suppression of free speech & free thought. They're simply seizing an opportunity presented to them by the hard pro-Israel right post-10/7. Supporting human rights is not anti-semitism.

Rubio just set the precedent: lawful speech that challenges U.S. policy is all they need to justify disappearing someone. No charges. No evidence. Just beliefs. If you think this won’t come for you next, you’re already marked. Surveillance states hunt dissidents. Time to unify & get very loud!

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

This i didn’t know. SS has convinced everyone they’re the only game in town and people have fallen for it because they like the Notes and Live features. It’s a closed social media app. A walled in Nazi garden and left-leaning journalists are hanging out there asking their readers for Nazi tithes.

Agreed - if you're Democrat and you voted for this, you need to be primaried/defeated. If you're a Republican, like Jen Kiggans or Rob Wittman, who voted for this, you need to be defeated in November 2026! bluevirginia.us/2025/04/frid... h/t @thomaszimmer.bsky.social

And as a reminder, we did Abolish ICE back in 2018. ICE didn't even EXIST two decades prior. It was a police state reactionary institution that got created in 9/11 panic.

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?
