NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Starting this week, Republicans are going to try to ram through their tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of our kids and seniors. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

AOC+BERNIE+??? Absolutely, AOC & Bernie are doing a wonderful thing & drawing incredible crowds to oppose Trump & his MAGA sycophants. Imagine if they added the Obamas, Cheney, Harris, Kinzinger, Booker, etc. & were filling stadiums around the country on an "American Freedom Tour" to the Midterms.

Nothing says ‘land of the free’ like deregulating food safety so we can die from a $5 rotisserie chicken.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

THEY CAN ENTER ANYONE’S HOME BASED ONLY ON SUSPICION THAT THEY ARE AN “ ALIEN ENEMY” OR MAY BE HOUSING ONE! It was done stealthily. Warrantless searches. Expect local law enforcement agencies who have joined with ICE will add this to their means to get into people’s asses. Please donate to ACLU

“The plan includes chaos. It includes shifting justifications. It includes secrecy. The plan also includes propaganda. It includes threats. It includes targeting individuals to send messages to everyone else.”

What could go wrong? 🙄

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Boom Bitches💥🤣

The people who lived in America before white settlers, fear deportation by Trump’s gestapo, as ICE says Navajo tribespeople don’t have birthright citizenship. Huh? https://azmirror.com/2025/01/24/reports-of-navajo-people-being-detained-in-immigration-sweeps-sparks-concern-from-tribal-leaders/

In a normal time, this scandal would dominate the headlines and end careers

Advocate [Apr 17] -- Trump HHS announces anonymous tip line, says people can now report affirming care doctors w/o violating HIPPA laws --as usual trying to accomplish through intimidation behaviors compliance with hateful policies it could not otherwise compel. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Everyone gets E. Coli and listeria now.

Important to note the Potemkin villages they're going to set up each time someone with a soul goes down to monitor the conditions of the concentration camp are part of the war crime itself. The audience for this propaganda is MAGA rubes, not The Hague, which will be indifferent.

Welp, after 3 months of trying nothing meaningful to end the war they promised would be over within 24 hours, the Trump administration is exhausted and giving up. Absolute clown show.

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

One result of cuts to funding "“The macaques. It’s such a heavy responsibility to work with them & to just be asked to kill them halfway thru the study...” “Anybody who has animal studies ... is looking at killing the animals” if funding is cut, Fortune said." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/15/m...

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

#ProudBlue #MomSky The fucking evil orange asshole tells the evil El Salvadorian leader that they need to build 5 more “places”, meaning prisons, for our “homegrowns.” The evil laughter at the end sends chills up my spine. This is abhorrent! He is openly talking about sending Americans.

#ProudBlue #MomSky I’m so glad they are doing this. I’ve heard it’s Van Hollen, Booker, Frost & Garcia heading there tomorrow. We are sending love, strength & protection for them. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Nuff said! #UniversalHealthcareNow #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited

ICYMI, while #FOTUS was with the the president of El Salvador laughing about Kilmar Abrego Garcia and other innocent people being trapped there, they made a deal where El Salvador will build more prisons for US CITIZENS like us!! We’re not safe in Trumps America 😭 #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited
