And he voted for the 🍊 💩!!

Trump really does have an infatuation with murderous dictators. Looks like he wants to put a ring on it 😍

Stephen Miller says you wouldn't want to live next door to Mr. Garcia. Who the fuck would want to live next door to Stephen Miller?!

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.

New records reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought thousands of dollars in stock right before Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused markets to surge.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

#OTD April 12 1838, Samuel Lount and Peter Matthews were publicly hanged in Toronto for their roles in the Rebellion of 1837... they had 22 children between them richly detailed story here -- uppercanadahistory.ca/tt/tt10.html #TOhistory

Okay folks, I went down a rabbit hole. I think the organization here in question here CLAIMED they met with Carney, BUT the evidence suggests they just took a pic at a campaign event. I (and some of you!) found pics other folks at the same Brampton-area leadership event from February:

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

A Geography of the 2025 Civic By-Elections in the City of #Vancouver..it's interesting to see how this reflects the social, economic & political geographies of the City + illustrative of various campaigning strategies, but, with a 15% voter turnout rate, the road to 2026 is open. #vanpoli #vanre

In Canadian election, top Conservative candidate vows to end ‘woke ideology’ in science funding | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti... @charlieangus104.bsky.social can you let Canadians know how dangerous this is? Also how closely aligned he is with Trump, Harper, IDU.

Here's a table of how well the seven main candidates in Vancouver's byelection did by polling station. Green for top 2, yellow for 3rd, red for under 10%. I think it tells a number of interesting stories!

Not all Canadians in the U.S. are the same. Wayne Gretzky wears a MAGA hat and polishes fascist boots at Mar A Lago. Meanwhile, my dude Neil Young is doing anti-Oligarchy rally this weekend with Bernie & AOC. I’m with Neil, duh. 🇨🇦✊🏻

boosting because good and we need more good

Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, they’ve lost thousands. I’ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they don’t think they have enough money because he’s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

The Trump admin argues it can deport anyone - even by mistake - and isn’t responsible once deportees are out of U.S. custody. Last month, Rubio said El Salvador agreed to take deportees of any nationality, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀. What will SCOTUS do? apnews.com/article/migr...

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

There on their way, Ron

1/ The number of protests planned for tomorrow is enormous. Given what Trump has done to the economy, and everyone's collective ability to pay for household expenses/retirement I'd expect them to be huge. Find out more at handsoff2025.com

Are you READY?! 🤚 Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

Can we please all agree that this experiment of putting a man who bankrupted a casino in charge of America’s economy is not going well at all?

The two most powerful Republican politicians in America - the president and co-president of the United States - are publicly praising and defending and excusing the crimes of a far-right foreign politician who leads a party founded by a Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi. We are in a very, very dark place.

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.

Forests are more than just wood and are important for the water balance. The groundwater beneath a forest is clean, oxygen-rich and excellent for producing drinking water. That is why forests are particularly often also water protection areas. 💚☘️🌿🌱🌳🌲🍀💚

“What can you say? All these people …maybe also should have realized it was risky to put someone whose companies have filed for bankruptcy six times—and who was in fact convicted of fraud during the presidential campaign—in charge of managing the world’s largest economy.”

McConnell breaks with party to reject Trump’s Canada tariffs. The former Senate Republican leader will likely deliver the deciding vote on a resolution to block a national emergency used to justify the new tariffs on Canadian imports.

This is driven in part because they are still mad that some people in government and academia wanted fewer than the million-plus we saw die to, you know, die

NEW: GlobalX flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sun-seekers. Then the company started expanding into deportation flights. “They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Breathtaking. Administration concedes they mistakenly deported man to hellhole prison in El Salvador but says courts powerless to get him back. How many more? Oh well, got to break a few eggs to make a Trump omelette… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Kilmer Abrego Garcia was “accidentally deported” to El Salvador, and is being locked behind bars in a hell-hole prison. This is the abhorrent result of the Trump regime’s refusal to ensure due process. In America, Garcia was violently stripped of his fundamental rights. By order…

Crucial point from @jenrubin.bsky.social: The Hegseth fiasco is on GOP Senators, and "concern" won't cut it anymore. "If they're afraid to be challenged in a primary or have mean tweets put out about them, then they aren’t fit for public office." Listen on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/1933...

I looked into the Neuralink Monkey story and I am warning you to read this article if you want the information BUT it is absolutely heartbreaking!!! It’s horrific and cruel.He has since moved on to human trials of ALS patients and I honestly don’t know if they are aware www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Is "unusual" really the best the New York Times can do?
