This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

📢 #Altgov Announcement Fresh in from vetting and full of all the beautiful arts and history, @altnehgov.bsky.social has come to bring some culture and class with some timely lessons along the way. Welcome to the family!

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

100%. It really is time to go there. Again.

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Frost: I come from Florida. See, Project 2025 is Florida 2024. We’ve seen this, but we also know how to deal with it. When they disappear, a college student, you take to the streets. When they steal your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, you take to the streets.

Khanna: You know what I think? Instead of giving $4 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires like Elon Musk, how about in this country we start taxing the billionaires?

Jayapal: How the hell are you gonna buy a house when the rent is already too damn high and Donald Trump is hiking up the prices of lumber and drywall..

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

AOC: The crumbling of our rights and protections. Understand that all of this is what it means and what it feels like to be governed by billionaires. This is what oligarchy feels like.. it is this system that has brought us the most corrupt administration in American history..

Sanders: Unbelievable… they are people half a mile away

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Sanders: You know why we have all these great musicians here today? We're going to make our revolution with joy. We're going to sing and dance our way to victory against hatred and divisiveness.

Sanders: There are some 36,000 of you… The largest rally we have had. Your presence here today is making Donald Trump and Elon Musk very nervous

Sanders: Elon Musk announced most of the people were paid organizers. Anybody here get paid to come today? Crowd: No

Sanders: And Trump, very envious of sizes, he said Bernie has rallies of two or three thousand people, can’t compete with Trump…. he lied…

In Ukraine’s Zhytomyr region, public outrage erupted after a local hospital director ordered the closure of the neurology department and laid off staff. In response, furious residents staged a protest — and threw the official who signed the order into a dumpster. #3E

Something my mind cannot stop thinking about is that in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump admin ADMITTED that he was wrongfully deported and they they still are fighting as hard as they can to not bring an innocent man home because it will make them look bad.

Bring 👏 back 👏 circuit riding 👏 but at the district court level 👏 If John Roberts really is the institutionalist he’s been made out to be, he needs to see the government’s repeated shenanigans before the district court up close and personal

Nationwide organizing (like our work to help mobilize millions last weekend) takes a lot of resources, so our resistance grows bigger and better when you pitch in.

I agree that this is the logical endpoint, but it is also likely its Kryptonite because then it makes our courts impotent. Courts don’t like giving up their power (see post 9/11). So the endgame, if the courts want to stay relevant, is to say the whole thing is unconstitutional from the jump

"Cut off nose to spite face" File: If the US is going to claim it loses control over people when it sends them to a foreign prison as an appendage of the US penal system, that Trump Admin strategy is dead because no US court is going to permit relinquishing jurisdiction in these circumstances.

The best evidence that the CIA had nothing to do with assassinating JFK is the fact that Donald Trump is still alive

Sanders: Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low income and affordable housing..

Sanders: When Trump looks out at this crowd… they pay attention to this stuff, Elon Musk does. You are scaring the hell out of them. Because they know what we know: They are the 1% and we are the 99%

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

ICE is becoming our Gestapo. Mother fuckers.

Colorado oil and gas advocate withdraws as nominee to lead Bureau of Land Management after her anti-Trump memo surfaces

@profgalloway.com called it... After Scott predicted no tariffs on Apple products on our Friday episode, President Trump just gave an exemption to smartphones, computers, and other electronics. What prediction will come true next? Tune in next week...

The real impact.

Now they need to get him to do tools from Taiwan. Power tools and hand tools. Taiwan likely produces more than 90% of the tools the working class use to build and maintain America. Unless it's snap-on, mac or Gearwrench (China)., it's probably made in Taiwan.

Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

Too many members of Congress keep letting us down. This is about more than opposing Trump’s bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and using every inch of power to fight back: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

Gomez: They got a simple plan defund, defraud, and lie. They're gonna defund Social Security, Medicaid, education, anything that helps the man and woman who's trying to get by to put food on the table or to pay rent. And then they're going to lie about it.

Gomez: It doesn't matter if you're young, old, or Gen X, Gen Z. We are now a new generation. We are the fuck around and find out generation. Gomez: Fuck around Crowd: Find out

“Collective resistance is a collective-action problem. If people don’t join together in resisting, he wins, he dominates. This is what his base loves to see.” And this is what We, the Resistance must avoid. Only in solidarity can we ever hope to overcome. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

If Rusty Grills John Stevens and tnfarmbureau really cared about farmers you’d speak out against Trump’s trade war with China, which will destroy them, rather than protect giant Chinese corporations from sick farmer lawsuits. www.axios.com/2025/04/09/c...

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

Trump‬⁩ has trashed a century of trust & confidence in the US economy. The bedrock has been stability, predictability, rule of law. This imbecile wrecked it in months. Things will get worse because ⁦‪Republicans‬⁩ have no guts to challenge stupid. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/i...

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits on Vladimir Solovyov's show took turns mocking Trump. They applauded the damage he is doing to the U.S. and the world order and urged him to keep going for as long as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCX9...
