The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

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.

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

The Trump regime has declared that Human Rights are void and that you are not entitled to them. www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...

"If you can afford to send Katy Perry to space, you can afford to pay more taxes." #3E

Bondi is escalating the rhetoric against Abrego Garcia, who she calls "one of the top MS-13 members" and "a terrorist"

Rep. Dan Meuser on Abrego Garcia: "Maybe he's not a terrorist. But he's a potential terrorist. He's a terrorist watchlist person."

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What the regime is doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to so many other immigrants, to Harvard and more, will live in infamy. open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Tomorrow I’ll be calling all of my representatives to demand that they call for RFK jr’s immediate resignation.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

In 90 years of social security, we have never had a check bounce or be late, but they want you to believe the system is broken.

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

•DISORDER IN GEORGIA• Many constituents at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall last night were furious. Vehement opposition to Greene’s representation, the Trump regime’s fascist takeover, and destructive Republican policies led to explosions of anger and chaos. •GREENE’S GOONS• Within minutes…

January 6 rioters had to pay restitution for attacking our democracy.Trump’s DOJ wants to REFUND them.Another moment when loyalty to lawlessness was chosen over loyalty to country. youtube.com/shorts/puKkO...

!!! The NC Board of Elections reveals that EVEN IF it throws out all the votes contested by Jefferson Griffin and the state Supreme Court, Justice Allison Riggs is STILL on track to narrowly win the race. HUGE news from @bryanranderson.bsky.social: andersonalerts.substack.com/p/riggs-supr...

Who among us hasn’t forgotten about 150 appearances we did on Russian state media?

SCOOP: sources tell me that the State Dept plans to eliminate its only office to counter foreign disinformation, as soon as today, delivering a win to foreign governments like Russia, Iran, and China—and the office's mostly conservative critics. www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/16/1...

Palantir just got a huge new ICE contract for "target analysis." It is becoming clear that Palantir is the technological engine powering Trump's mass deportation campaign: www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court. But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long. Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

everything is normal, we're just tasing protestors at town halls now

This is how we do it, America! Every damn time elected Republicans have police taser us or yank us from our undeniable right to speak up, they dig another hole in their grave. Even Red voter’s don’t like this authoritarian BS! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Chris Van Hollen isn’t playing games. If Kilmar Garcia isn’t released by midweek, he’s flying to El Salvador himself to demand answers. This is the kind of bold, no-BS leadership we need right now. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

According to a public disclosure, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought between $21,000 and $315,000 in stocks last week just hours before President Trump announced the partial pause. AOC: “I got one question for [Greene]: How much did you make? How much did you make off that panic?”

this is wild: vehicle capacity of freeway lanes dropped 10 percent as SUVs took over the road -- not just bc they are bigger. they also take more time and space to slow down and obscure other drivers' sightlines. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

thered be calls for impeachment if a dem did this

Passing the bill he wants passed gives him more power. Not passing the bill he wants takes away from his power. Pls stop insulting everyone’s intelligence.

REP. CHUCK EDWARDS: Actually I believe that president is very supportive of Ukraine TOWN HALL: *BOOOOOOOO!*

Merkley: "The best time to take on a tyrant is as early as possible. And this is the moment."

CNN poll: 56% of adults disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy. That number is higher than at any point during his first term per CNN polling.   61% disapprove of Trump's handling of tariffs.   57% say Trump has not paid enough attention to the country's most important problems.

A movie theater screened this year’s Oscar-winning documentary about Palestinians, so the mayor of Miami Beach is trying to destroy the movie theater

This is an attack on Medicaid, and anyone who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America.

notable that this a topic on Newsmax

Government is close to shutting down and Soeaker Johnson just send everyone home for two weeks

Walz: And then he tells his supporters that only he can fix it. He's the guy who goes and starts the fire and then stands there and gives directions and acts like he knows how to put the fire out

Okay, Schumer's speech was a head fake. This is the Senate D caucus trying to fool their own supporters. Sorry to say that but that's what's happening.

Walz: "I wouldn't do those town halls if I were them either because they have to defend cutting Medicare, cutting Medicaid, hurting their local public school, fighting a trade war with Canada. Just the nonsense, and defending President Musk."

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social: “Let's cut the crap: If Ukraine falls, American safety is at risk.” What about this is so difficult to understand!?! #SlavaUkraïni

"DOGE’s claims are often either mathematically impossible, or, like the $50m 'condoms for Gaza' claim, simply false. This allows the administration to take a strategically ambiguous stance in hopes of shielding DOGE from judicial interference. But that strategy is failing." -- @lizdye.bsky.social

Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy. This is lower than any other point even in his first term. PASS IT ON.
