Now Trump is targeting Democratic fundraising organizations with his executive orders. About the only thing this tyrant hasn’t done yet is declare ā€œI AM THE LAW,ā€ but I have absolutely no doubt we will eventually hear him say this or something very close. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Now the DOJ says they can enter our homes without warrants. ā€œā€¦ agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is ā€˜impracticable,’ and they don’t need a judge’s approval. Immigration officers can sign their own administrative warrants.ā€ dailyboulder.com/ice-can-now-...

Republicans think they can control Trump. They believe he will only hurt their political enemies. German conservatives in the 1930s believed this, too. They were wrong. Hitler came for them. Ba’ath Party members likely also believed they were safe from Saddam Hussein. Wrong. youtu.be/kLUktJbp2Ug

The next time some lying MAGA cultist tells you their fascist movement doesn’t have a problem with gay people and claims MAGA only opposes gender ideology or trans people, DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. It’s a god damned lie. They’re coming for the entire #LGBTQ šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ community. apnews.com/article/worl...

Everyone should read this entire thread. It’s long, but it’s important. This is a naked, brazen, unapologetic attempt by the Trump administration to intimidate the judicial branch of our government and to remake our separation of powers in the process. ā—ļø This is authoritarianism.

Now he’s selling $50 made-in-China hats that boldly announce his intention to ignore the Constitution and remain in power longer than two terms. This tyrant is telling us exactly who and what he is. www.newsweek.com/trump-store-...

Like every fascist, Trump’s goal is to crush every allegedly ā€œliberalā€ *private* institution. That’s ultimately what he’s saying here; that it’s the government’s job to modify or shut down private orgs with which *he* disagrees. And the asshole can’t even speak English. Stay strong, #Harvard.

Why didn’t anyone think of just begging Putin to stop attacking Ukraine? All these dummies sending Ukraine weapons, sanctioning Russia, holding peace talks… and all they had to do was beg like a dog. 🐶 Thank the gods we have the Orange Muppet to show us the way. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

ā€œMartinez-Gomez works full-time assisting immigrants in court for a non-profit and believes his advocacy work may have placed him on the government's radar.ā€ It’s targeted harassment. He’s exactly the sort of American citizen the Trump regime wants to get rid of. www.latintimes.com/california-m...

ā€œFetterman said negotiations with Iran are pointless.ā€ ā—ļø ā€œWaste that shit,ā€ he said. That’s how a senator talks? He’s awfully casual with war talk; a war he won’t have to fight. Fetterman’s not the same guy we elected. The stroke has changed his personality. www.mediaite.com/politics/fet...

Go to hell

omg… this is among @thejuicemedia.bsky.social's best… šŸ„‡ …but beware, it's also (appropriately) the sweariest yet. šŸ™Š www.youtube.com/watch?v=euE8...

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

They’re holding immigration hearings for kids; no parents or lawyers present. It’s deportation without due process. Trump has made it clear with his recent comments that he wants to do this to citizens, too. With every day that passes, it feels more like I’m living in a dangerous, foreign country.

In a normal America—one not run by a narcissistic megalomaniac who fancies himself a king—it would be a really big deal that the Trump administration is using the White House web site to push conspiracy theories and settle his personal scores. This is gross. 🤮 www.fastcompany.com/91319486/cov...

YouTube suggested I watch one of @genericartdad.bsky.social’s shorts today, and now his channel is my new favorite thing. youtube.com/shorts/J3UVM...

Imagine for a moment an invasion of Texas by Mexico… Would the President be making ā€œinflammatory statementsā€ if he says he will not recognize Texas as Mexican territory? Should the President simply hand Texas over to end the war? šŸ§µā¬‡ļø www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

I’ve been waiting for someone from this TV show to tell Secretary Brain Worms he’s a fool. www.latintimes.com/love-spectru...

At the end of the day, when we remove the politics and the lies, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is just a guy whose life is being ruined for political points. He’s not a criminal or a gang member. He’s a pawn, and if this can happen to him, it can happen to any of us. www.thedailybeast.com/internet-sle...

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: ā€œWe welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.ā€ He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying ā€œthank you.ā€ Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

"As long as I am your Governor, the meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington DC will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River" — Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 16 Jan 2023 Red states complain about the federal gov’t until they need money from blue states. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Don’t threaten me with a good time. Let me get the door for you. šŸ˜‚ Whiny little baby.

Big shocker here! The President’s biggest donor (Musk) and that donor’s partners are the frontrunners to build a massive defense system. Frankly, I’m shocked they’re even pretending to consider others. I wouldn’t trust any system built via no-bid contract. ā—ļø www.foxbusiness.com/politics/spa...

Trump knows he’s not going to win his lawsuit; he never does. The lawsuit is meant to have a chilling effect on dissent and on the media’s reporting. He wants to scare everyone into submission. It’s working. Win or lose the lawsuit, he’s already getting what he wants. www.cnn.com/2025/04/22/m...

This is absolutely insane and dangerous. They want to build a database of: - prescriptions - lab tests - genetic records - private insurance claims - data from smart watches and fitness trackers ā¬†ļø All this from the Party of Small Governmentā„¢ newrepublic.com/post/194245/...

Trump: ā€œWe can’t give everyone due process.ā€ …and his cultists foolishly nod along in agreement because—blinded by hate—they can’t see how eliminating rights for ā€œothersā€ will put us all at risk. They’ll happily trade away their rights (and ours). www.usnews.com/news/top-new...

The ā€œThink of the Children!ā€ people NEVER show up when you actually need them. This deranged, old psychopath is showing little kids a TRADING CARD (WTF?) of a VIOLENT EVENT like it’s Freddy Kruger’s Easter Picnic. For fuck’s sake, this is god damned insane. www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/62g...

1. Why is the Secretary of Homeland Securiry carrying around $3,000 cash in her purse? You know what, it’s none of my business, but… 2. How can she be expected to secure our border if she can’t secure her own purse with $3,000 in it? ^ That question *is* my business. www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: ā€œI would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.ā€ May we heed his wish.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can’t handle all this #winning. Dow: down 1,000 points Dollar: 3-year low Is ā€œwinningā€ supposed to be this painful? www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/i...

OMG this man is a genius! šŸ¤“ Why didn’t anyone ever think of this before? Use less medicine! Brilliant! Just stop using medicine, everyone! You know, unless you need the medicine to survive. Then you should probably keep using it, and Dr. Oz has no advice for you. www.latintimes.com/dr-oz-ridicu...

Apparently, merely being related to the Secretary of Defense entitles you to our secret war plans. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

We don’t have an ambassador to China yet. You’d think that would be top priority given the trade war. Trump refuses to allow his people to use back channels to talk to the Chinese; he demands a face-to-face with Xi Jinping, who is refusing. What an embarrassment. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

What is it that cops always like to say?… ā€œIf you haven’t done anything wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about,ā€ right? People have a right to know if the cops serving them are traitors. They attended the insurrection and were proud to be there that day. What changed? apnews.com/article/seat...
