Get your chicken taco at Taco Belle!

stealing like meme from my hellsite replies because lmao

I’m actually getting sick when I read about dt and his thugs. They are blatantly violating the Court’s order in the Garcia case. I understand the judge is proceeding cautiously, but the Administration’s actions demand a contempt citation. Soon!

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/o... Great read. Thoughts on how to navigate through the turbulence of 2025.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Serious question: Is there any way we can reach those who elected Trump? Bluesky is all well and good, but it’s preaching to the choir. An idiot in charge of Defense, abducting people off the streets, blowing up vital parts of the US govt. Do we have to crumble before they realize this disaster.

At a time when moral leadership has been in short supply in the world — when authoritarians and neofascists are pushing us into darkness — Pope Francis pointed toward the light. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-conscience-of-the-world

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,400 of the agency’s 1,700 employees; medical debt and student loans will now be deprioritized. 🤬 Also, look into Credit Unions. You are a member, not a customer. They will be far more fair than any corporate bank. I love mine!

Judge Xinis to DOJ lawyer: “Cancel vacation. Cancel other appointments. I’m usually pretty good about this in my courtroom, but not this time.” She also agreed to allow the plaintiffs to depose up to 6 administration officials. Good first step, but need accountability.

Take action to support Federal Funding for libraries at SaveIMLS.org!

Make no mistake about what’s going on in America. 47 has declared war on universities, the press, liberals, immigrants (including those here legally), dissenters, the poor, women and many others. We are at war with our own government, a government whose goal is to subjugate us, to cower us. RESIST.

Some become lawyers because they crave justice, they believe the law is the way we stay reasonably civil. Some want the money.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u... This seems highly irregular - undue deference to dt.

While Republicans hide, Cory Booker shows up and gives his constituents a voice. Who’s cutting onions?

Blatant racism.

dt fired the entire staff at LIHEAP - federal program to help folks with heating/cooling bills during extreme weather. This program existed for over 45 yrs with bipartisan support. Unilaterally eliminating a program established by Congress violates the Constitution and the separation of powers.

🙃 “I’m honestly shocked. I thought we had it in the bag,” said Pam Van Handel, chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin’s Outagamie County. “I thought [Musk] was going to be an asset for this race..." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

America’s first unelected co-President.

NYT reports dt “serious” about a third term. Don’t poo-poo this. This mf is capable of trying just about anything to feed his pathetic ego. RESIST.

It’s pretty damn clear that dt and crew have a revolution in mind. Many of our democratic institutions are under attack- voting rights, the courts, due process, law firms, the media, libraries. Stand firm. Push back. Resist. Be brave. It’s our only chance.

Due process “is how any of us can have confidence that the folks being packed onto airplanes and whisked off to El Salvador are members of TdA—as opposed to US citizens; political dissidents; or others whom the Trump administration would just as soon be rid of.” www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-133-...

It is sickening to see the treatment of deported gang members. I am not against deportation, but guys with masks humiliating then, treating them like subhumans is unnecessarily cruel. Our government is out of control.
