Lol. #FAFO 💙👊

About that $14 trillion Trump claims to have raised over the past few weeks... He made it up. The tell: The White House won't send receipts The other tell: He's claiming that every dollar a Qatari earns over the next 5 years will be invested in the US www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

#Disappeared 😔💙👊

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 64 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Oklahoma high schools are now breeding grounds for election conspiracy theories, indoctrinating young minds with baseless lies. Education should enlighten, not mislead. Who benefits from this manipulation? #3E

As Poland heads to the polls, the specter of security concerns looms ominously. Are we witnessing a genuine democratic process or a charade orchestrated by those in power? The stakes are high, and the world is watching. #3E

The indoctrination of the youth lays the groundwork for every dictatorship, molding pliable minds into instruments of control. By manipulating education and media, regimes ensure loyalty and suppress dissent, perpetuating cycles of oppression. #3E

Ivana didn’t become a U.S. citizen until 1988—well after Don Jr. (1977), Ivanka (1981), and Eric (1984) were born. Melania wasn’t a citizen when Barron was born in 2006. So if we’re questioning birthright citizenship, maybe start with Trump’s own kids. But of course—rules are for the rest of us.

Hello blue sky

It seems to me that this administration will keep firing intelligence analysts until they can find one who will lie to justify the regime disappearing perceived enemies to foreign torture dungeons.

Yup. @muellershewrote.com (AG) has been saying this forever. They’ll cook the numbers, just like they did for Covid. 💙👊

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly—now and, even more importantly, when he and his accomplices are finally out of power.

Exactly. 💙👊

AFAIK this is the first public statement from Trump that's consistent with how tariffs actually work. Tariffs are charged on the importer of course, but the exporter can "eat" some of the cost by lowering their own price. (They won't.) Happy we're all trapped on this learning journey with Donald.

What’s supposed to happen? If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do? Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run? 1.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

@jonostrove.bsky.social

theres a prevailing mentality in this country where a majority are willing to make their own lives worse if it means taking away benefits from those deemed “undeserving”

Yes. Expose the incompetence.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

BREAKING: Court orders Georgetown scholar Badar Khan Suri to be *freed* from ICE detention. Dr. Khan Suri — whose research focuses on peace building — was detained by the Trump administration two months ago. Follows the freeing of Mohsen Mahdawi & Rumeysa Ozturk.

For all the horrible shit Trump has done over the years, his attack on the military and veterans is one of the most egregious. My pops was doing covert ops on the ground during the Cold War and putting his life in danger every hour while this guy was back home denying black folks a place to live

I want to know how many MAGA moms/dads are in favor of just leaving 12 year old children unattended on the side of the road after violently apprehending their parents.😢 When #ICE / masked thugs abduct people off the side of the road without warrants is that OK?🗽 Immigrants: I stand #OnYourSide 🧵

Worcester….it’s individuals like this that put a stain on my state.

Some people have criticisms of the administration torturing children but under a 5-4 Supreme Court decision written by Justice Alito it is technically not a federal crime, so to preserve accuracy and neutrality, we will not be calling it a crime against humanity. Tomorrow in the New York Times.

Privilege is often invisible to those who have it. — Nevo Zisin

“White racists can assimilate better,” is not great. Fucking hell.

Such an important point from Doug Jones: “Deportation in American law allows for the ability to contest the arrest… That’s not what we’re seeing when college students are getting yanked off the streets…are sent—in violation of court orders to a prison in a foreign country. That is not deportation.”

TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office And he's going to keep using it after he leaves! Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

So many things are currently happening outside of public view.

Go ahead. Elevate them to national fame and make them heroes like you did the Mayor of Newark. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

More details are emerging as Rep. Joaquin Castro meets with the deported family of the 11yo U.S. citizen girl in Mexico. CBP agents *confiscated her seizure meds.* That’s not law enforcement—it’s abuse. Keep reposting. Keep raising hell. Be a voice for the voiceless. #OnYourSide
