“We know that judges simply cannot do their jobs and our justice system cannot function effectively if victims, defendants, witnesses, and family members do not feel secure in accessing the courthouse" Reporting by @intelligencer.com

Saturday erupted into a second day of protest to denounce the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan. Protesters gathered in support of Judge Dugan, demanding that prosecutors drop the charges being brought against her. Marching through the streets of St. Francis, Wisconsin, the protesters converged…

In Dupont Circle…

More and more people are waking up…

This was part of the $250M election donation deal.

BREAKING: A number of people have been killed and multiple others injured in Vancouver after a driver drove into a crowd at a Filipino street festival in the western Canadian city, police say aje.io/ei1kwt

i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.

It happened again... When Trump arrived at the Pope's funeral there was no acknowledgment by the thousand gathered But when Zelenskyy arrived the crowd broke out in impromptu applause Same thing happened when both men appeared at the reopening of Notre Dame The world doesn't abide Putin's puppet

If you needed any further proof that the arrest of Judge Dugan was a propaganda opportunity and a fear tactic, here you go. Nothing about this is normal—it’s authoritarianism!

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A hallmark of fascism is to attack the judiciary.

The story actually gets WORSE ICE knew this 2 year old girl was a US citizen And knew there was a guardian who’d keep her in the US Yet they held her in detention anyway Using her AS BAIT to get to her father Only after that failed did they then deport her-without meaningful process Despicable

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

Can a US citizen be deported without due process? It may have already happened to a 2 year old: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

The headline should read: 𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐔𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏 𝐀𝐃𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝟐 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑-𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐔𝐒 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐙𝐄𝐍! It should be in 2 inch font above the fold & on the front page. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

NEW: A coalition of students from more than 15 law schools across the country have signed a pledge not to work for any firm that “gives in to Trump administration demands…” Signatories include students from Harvard, Georgetown, University of Chicago, UT-Austin… docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Alas, Donald Trump is now selling “Trump 2028” hats on his official website, even though it is unconstitutional for him to run again. Trump wants to seize power yet again — steal power — and never relinquish it. Trump aspires to remain in office indefinitely, and rule like Putin. The 22nd…

The U.S. Justice Department is terminating grants totaling $811 million for a wide range of services to crime victims, including trauma recovery centers and sign language interpretation, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Exclusive: The Pentagon will resume gender-affirming care for transgender service members, according to a memo we obtained.

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

Offering folks $5,000 to have a baby is wild—especially when y’all are the same ones trying to slash SNAP and Medicaid. The very benefits millions of Americans rely on to survive. Since when did raising a baby only cost $5,000?

A somewhat disorienting announcement just now from US Attorney for D.C. Trump-ally Ed Martin announces Tesla vandalism case (a priority of Pres. Trump) He uses phrase "domestic terror" .... but also acknowledges it is a "misdemeanor" and that defendant is released

RFK - Making America “Healthy” Again

Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: "There will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China." As predicted, it was yet another pump and dump on the stock market. Endless market manipulation.

A record high of 53% of Americans say their financial situation is worsening, according to a new Gallup Poll. That's the highest percentage since Gallup began tracking this statistic.

This man is disgusting and should not be anywhere near HHS!

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Stay loud stay visible stay brave

Another case of "you do realize that's worse, right?" It is flatly illegal for DOD to be doing anything like this on its own rather than merely providing support to a domestic civilian agency like DHS. Their putative defense here is saying the military kidnapped people all on its own.

Intimidation is key to authoritarian regimes. Their cruelty and inhumanity knows no bounds. Absolutely despicable. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

i actually cannot handle this on any level. this is journalism malpractice.

Pete Hegseth had a makeup studio installed at the Pentagon Doug Burgum demands fresh baked warm cookies at Interior Trump had a tanning bed & spray tan booth installed upstairs at the White House The NSA can't figure out how to make his Venmo account private DHS Secretary had her purse stolen

Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

Ansari to Ingraham: "You are changing the subject. Today we are here to talk about the lack of due process for an individual who was illegally deported from this country."

Gotta love Tim Walz

BREAKING: The 4th Circuit Pauses North Carolina Ballot Rejections. It's not over yet, but this is wonderful news.

The Fifth Amendment applies to everyone.

Japanese netizens are shocked by a tweet from the US Embassy declaring that Japanese people applying for non-immigrant visas must provide information on all social media accounts they have used in the last 5 years [or their visas could be rejected]. Some are comparing it to China & North Korea.
