First he was saying he “couldn’t” free the man or bring him back to the U.S. That made him look weak. Then he said he “didn’t know anything,” that it was all in the hands of lawyers. That made him look stupid. Now he’s in his petulant baby phase, saying, “I won’t!” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

Trumps makes me embarrassed to be an American.

Trump photoshopping MS-13 onto Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles should be CRIMINAL and a MUCH BIGGER STORY! Pls ❤️ and share wide!

Happy Easter!

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

The Trump administration has turned its back on our community and other marginalized groups most at risk with the gutting of the State Department. NO MORE. We WILL keep fighting for access to lifesaving healthcare and programs NO MATTER WHAT. hrc.im/ProtectHealth

The Department of Homeland Security sent a letter to Dr. Lisa Anderson, who was born in Connecticut, which stated: “It is time for you to leave the United States." Anderson has been carrying her U.S. passport on her at all times since receiving the email and is seeking an immigration attorney.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

The only reason we ever became concerned with a “trade deficit” was in the 80s when Japanese car companies were eating American companies lunch. That’s it. It’s not meant to be an economic strategy. I have a trade deficit with Applebees but we’re fine

Over 200 people were sent to a Salvadoran gulag with no due process! Bring every 1 of them home. Merwil Gutiérrez was also mistakenly taken & he's just a teenager-a boy, FFS! Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dad of 3 & union member. Will you be next? Will I? Speak out & call Congress at 202-224-3121!

And many are outright geniuses, and engage in more productive activity in an hour than RFK Jr. will in his entire life.

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

MSNBC Donald Trump just sent the Supreme Court an unambiguous message: You made your ruling. Now enforce it, because I’m not going to. That constitutional crisis we’ve expected, yet feared? It’s here.

I have a BA in Political Science and a Law Degree. I’m retired. I never imagined that I would be afraid of my government because of something I might say in anger about how the government is behaving. The Boston Tea Party was about being angry.

The war on women is escalating.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

I wish this was true!

If we Democrats return to power we are not going to pardon people who set fire to Teslas. That’s the difference with Republicans.

The military removed a web page honoring the Navajo Code Talkers of World War 2. What was the purpose? The saving had to be minuscule. I feel sorry for the ones who did. It must be tiring to carry so much hate. If this is Christian government I don’t want any part of it.

The daily news will be the death of me. Yet I can’t stop watching the world that could have been be destroyed.

At the Houston rodeo fights are breaking out then stampede of people not cattle and closing the rodeo early. I want to wear my hat that says Democrat and put a pro Ukraine sign in my yard but I want to make my life safe for now. I want to live to vote again in 2026 and 2028.

Ever since Ronny Raegan people have desired that the government be run like a business. At least now people can see why that’s a bad idea. In my Texas group that lobbies for just laws in Texas I said maybe we just need to watch it because maybe this is the way to get us back to kindness.

Looks like Trumpty-Dumpty had a great fall Splat! From the wall [street] See what I did there?

What is weird is the older I get, the more Superman's origin story wherever everybody ignores the scientist telling them their planet will blow up makes sense to me and at the same time, the more I don't think Luthor is that bad for a billionaire.

America is no longer the arsenal of democracy. It is the arsenal of bat sh*t crazy.

I love this

Den, there's dis 👇🏼!

Lay down your flag and pickup a cross. From Christians for Social Justice.

Wired reported that, according to three of their sources, “[a] 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies [SpaceX and X], has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government.” Hope not my stuff

Some angry lady with road rage rolled down her window and screamed “I’m gonna make your life a living hell” so I yelled back, “no thanks I’m not looking for a relationship”

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

“All is well peasants. Just check the stock market on Monday.”

Trump declares Rachel Maddow an enemy of the people. I pray the criminals Trump pardoned don’t go after her. I now have the worst worlds combined. WW 2 Germany and Russia.
