I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

The first 20 mins of @mollyjongfast.bsky.social Fast Politics today is insane - menstrual classes to boost birth rates, tracking people with autism, govt can’t give everyone a trial… holy shit.

With super unpopular decisions like these, it certainly seems this administration is not worried about having to fairly win another election.

FAFO muthafukka!

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

The Golden Age of Corruption

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

He's not in politics. No one voted for him. He bought an entire government for $250 million dollars. Musk can go fuck himself.

The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

The People's Pope 🕊️ Jorge Mario Bergoglio (future Pope Francis) riding on the subway. Buenos Aires, Argentina 2008

That perfect moment when Pope Francis stopped the car to embrace Sophie Cruz. I cried my fuckin eyes out. After all the pain this country puts migrants through, this moment the little Mexican girl broke through was ... everything (video cred: AP). He was a real one. Obit below.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

250 years after the midnight ride of Paul Revere, this message was projected on the bell tower of the Old North Church in Boston last night "Let the Warning Ride Forth Once More: Tyranny is at Out Door" 🏇🏽 No Kings #America250

Boston, being Boston. 💙💛

Trump’s choice for IRS Director, Billy Long of Missouri, just had his six-figure debt paid off by campaign donors whose firms have significant, often contentious business before the tax agency he would lead... www.levernews.com/trump-irs-pi...

Quite possibly the most disgusting man alive. Jesus Christ, this report.

the classic burger king chicken sandwich — the long boy — is underrated in the fast food chicken sandwich game

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

In my opinion… best performance of entire Hamilton cast. So excited to see him this Fall!

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Law professor here: Things are F-U-C-K-E-D up.

Dems 2026 slogan We won't send you to El Salvador

The inside of the nutshell summed up by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

You cannot deport US citizens. Period. Do better. Call it what it would be: illegally kidnapping and disappearing people into an international gulag (which they’re frankly already doing).

How about we start treating people like people? Is that too much to ask?

Seriously, fuck this guy.

Turning the White House into a tacky hell hole. The gold, photos of himself. It’s a disgrace.

Unpopular opinion - you should only be able to put your bag in the overhead bin above you. Total BS that I paid extra for Comfort seats and my bag is at least 5 rows behind me.

Profiteering at the public’s expense. Trump and his partners in crime chuckle and celebrate as millions of Americans suffer shocking financial losses.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Republicans call it dependency. Democrats call it giving a damn.

@damonberes.com on what it would take to actually make iPhones in the U.S.: theatln.tc/WmNfQ3pT

Honest to god... it is no different. The cosplay, all the tacky gold added to the White House, the drama of it all. So very, very stupid.

Officials from the Greater Boston Food Bank say federal cuts are taking food off the table from food insecure families in Massachusetts. Ask Alexa to play WBZ NewsRadio on #iHeartRadio.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true? BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime? BONDI: *leaves*

“The reason we are where we are in American history is because we live in a society full of people that don’t understand how anything fucking works.” - @chrisdmowrey.bsky.social What he said.

The cruelty is unimaginable. Losing my mind over this
