‘It makes me want to scream’: Nobel peace prize winner horrified by planned exits from landmine treaty

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.

Today's crowd outside of the Milwaukee Courthouse in support of Judge Dugan - after she was charged 2 felony counts for allegedly assisting an immigrant evade immigration agents. Show your support @ the 50501 Mayday Protest on May 1st or May 3rd! maydaystrong.org

For weeks, a seaside Massachusetts town has dealt with broken car windshields and side mirrors. The culprit? An overzealous pileated woodpecker.

Casar: Some folks in the longtime Democratic establishment said the path to winning the midterms was for Democrats to 'roll over and play dead.' But a corpse is not an inspiring political movement. No one can hear your message through the walls of a coffin.

WATCH: “That is not how this works. We have a process in this country. A DUE process.” 🇺🇸

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

🧵 THREAD: Senator Van Hollen gave a heartfelt 40-min press conference at Dulles Airport telling the story of his trip to El Salvador & the condition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I've broken it up into 10 major points. 👇🏼 Feel free to bookmark & share. 🧵 Part 1: What he accomplished in El Salvador

One way or another, this judgment is going to be in all the American history books going forward.

Drummer for indie rockers the New Pornographers arrested over child sexual abuse images

Shelly-Ann racing in her kid's Parents Day race at the school is the funniest thing I've seen all week LMAO

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

Coolest Subaru I have ever seen

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Scary things that you may have recently read headlines about that it turned out you didn’t have to worry about include: microplastics in your brain, black plastic spatulas, intermittent fasting, and plant based meat alternatives. Also, no, you do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a month.

An email sent by the Department of Homeland Security instructs people in the US on a temporary legal status to leave the country. But who the email actually applies to—and who actually received it—is far from clear. www.wired.com/story/homela...
