Dear media, We're going to need you to stop being polite with trump, stop using kind words to describe his bullshittery, his grifting, and his absolute CHAOS. When he lies, call it LYING. When he grifts, call it grift. When he acts like a fucking fascist, call it that.

i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.

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.

The toddler, a U.S. citizen, was apparently sent to Honduras with her mother and 11-year-old sister, even as a federal judge tried to contact an attorney representing the government.

Judge Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge who was arrested on Friday morning on charges of obstructing immigration enforcement, spent most of her legal career working on behalf of low-income people and marginalized groups. Here's what to know.

Once you disregard the legal rights of immigrants, everything is on the table Today, they are arresting judges Tomorrow it could be Democratic members of Congress

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

As long as we’re deporting people with tattoos.

This tweet has more than 5 million views. No, you cannot dissolve the Supreme Court. Arresting anyone who tries to enforce the Supreme Court's order is akin to what happens in Russia, North Korea, and Venezuela. But, maybe that's what this poster wants.

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

NEW: A soccer coach and legal permanent resident flying home to Colorado from overseas has been detained. His family thinks it's a result of 15-20-year-old court cases. An immigration attorney says this situation is a warning to all non-citizens. #copolitics www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrxw...

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.

"46% of Head Start funding goes to rural areas, often in places without any other child care option..." www.axios.com/2025/04/16/h...

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Mental health therapists at Veterans Affairs should begin sessions with patients saying they are in a shared office space, a memo obtained by NPR says. Trump's back-to-office orders start Monday for VA.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

I would bet real money that a bunch of trump's friends got really, really rich with a "heads up" today. Convicted felons gonna felon.

🤣🤣🤣 I'm betting the initial thought that popped into my head isn't the right answer

2019 is calling and saying, hey, why didn’t you listen

The stupid... it b-u-r-n-s...!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Whenever I debunk pseudoscientific nonsense, some jabroni feels the need to say “you must be a lot of fun at parties!” First of all, I *am* a lot of fun at parties. Also, why is no one ever mad at the people who lied to them? Why are they only mad at the people who pointed out they were lied to?

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

Antarctica Tariffs Announced It's about time those deadbeat slackers started pulling their weight... 🐧 💰 🐧 💰 🐧 💰

pro tip: if you can afford to blow $250 million on a losing campaign in Wisconsin, you can afford to pay a 90% top tax margin

As he broke a record set when Thurmond stood against the Civil Rights Act, Booker said, "I'm not here, though, because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because, as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful."

I'm not concerned about the undocumented immigrant with some parking and speeding tickets. I'm concerned about the American citizen with 34 felony convictions who is driving America right into a fucking ditch.

Tomorrow, April 1, is Election Day in Wisconsin and Florida, and don’t be fooled: the stakes could not be higher. Luckily, Team Big Picture is here with all you need to stay informed.

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com
