"I like Trump: 32%" "I *hate* Trump: 51%" Good luck in the 2026 midterms any Republicans who think they can win on riding on Donald's wrinkled, baggy, sloppy 1980s suit coattails.

China Foreign Ministry spox overnight: “Let me make it clear one more time – China and the US are not engaged in any consultation or negotiation on tariffs.” Treasury Secretary Bessent on CNBC just now: *BESSENT: ALL ASPECTS OF GOVERNMENT IN CONTACT WITH CHINA Who you gunna believe?

JUST IN So after Japan, South Korea also had trade talks with the US in DC, in a so-called high-level 2+2 meeting, between SK's finance minister and US counterpart Bessent. Korean media is reporting its finance minister saying no trade deal before June 3 snap election. #EconSky

"A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death." ~Chris Hedges

"CNN Poll: Trump’s approval at 100 days lower than any president in at least seven decades" www.cnn.com/2025/04/27/p...

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Biden, 52%: “low end approval” Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”

This is the greatest non-handshake since Wayne Bridges / John Terry (though Doug Emhoff came close with Bruce Fischer). That’s what happens when you side with dictators against your allies.

i forgot how much i love this monologue.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

LoC! Welcome to Bluesky!

New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1

Sen. Adam Schiff, a first-term California Democrat, publicly announced he will place a hold on Martin's confirmation, seeking to slow down the proceedings. Schiff said of Martin in an April 19 video, "this guy is patently unfit for office."

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

Sometimes, when I’m afraid I can’t do something, I quietly say to myself, “Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense.”

US Defense Secretary shared sensitive information in second Signal chat

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

May you have as many friends in life as Pete Hegseth feels comfortable sharing war plans with.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Boston rejects Trump's fascism and embraces liberty. "This is what democracy looks like" ( 📹 @whoiskf.bsky.social ) #3E #FiftyFiftyOne #EndImpunity #EndOligarcy #EndAutogenocide

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

Never forget: Sen. Elizabeth Warren kicked off her career as a college professor.

U.S. politics have always been chaotic and wildly partisan. In 1856, Southern pro-slavery Preston Brooks beat abolitionist Charles Sumner with a cane on the senate floor. Rather than hurting Brooks' rep, his supporters were so delighted they sent him walking canes as gifts. How far we haven't come.

America was founded on the basic protection against unlawful imprisonment. Due process is a fundamental right in our constitution. Denying it or defending those who deny it is unamerican and illegal.

JUST TO BE CLEAR ... the same man who had his panties in a bunch about the antisemitism at Harvard is the same man who pardoned this piece of shit. #resist #bluecrew

me, weeks ago: Mr. Trump, sir, can you please rise to the dignity of your office and stop discussing invading Canada Trump: ok fine here’s a mass kidnapping operation for you instead me: wait no
