I've said this a couple of times, but until news coverage of the trump administration makes clear "the doj and fbi will not prosecute republican crimes, or crimes by people they favor," journalists are lying to you

Donald Trump wants you to think it’s justice vs. safety. That’s a lie. As VoteVets’ Max Rose put it: “There’s a false choice between justice, safety, and fairness.” We can have strong borders and defend the Constitution. Trump and the MAGA Party are losing this fight—and they know it.

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

DHS is paying the president of El Salvador to imprison immigrants from the U.S. in brutal conditions — and today, Trump welcomed him to the White House. Our government shouldn’t ship people off to be tortured.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Let this be the start of a civil society cascade of just saying no to authoritarianism.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

As a rule, the degree of cruelty and suffering inflicted by Trump is inversely proportional to the ability of the victims to defend themselves. The most vulnerable are the most targeted.

Thank you Mr. Obeidallah! Every single doc, FNP, physician assistant I’ve had the privilege to work with in my 32yrs of being an RN agrees that vaccines are safe and effective! Please listen to your provider! Save your children from the possibility of a devastating death!

Exactly. Stop trying to be nuanced. Take a stand and hold your damn ground.

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?

Well at least the entire world thinks we're idiots & conmen you know what, they may be right

Seems pretty clear that doge is a total scam

They’re using the hostages to try and justify their anti-democratic movement. Not in our name

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

The most dangerous gang in America. DT-47.

Fucking losers !!

He's a vindictive moron. His cabinet is full of toads. Congress are cowards. We're so fucked.

Marco Rubio has ensured his place in history for war crimes.

I don’t care who you are, what party you belong to, or who you voted for: You should be screaming from the rooftops about the extrajudicial disappearance of Kilmer Abrego Garcia. No one should be disappeared. Ever. Disappearing one person is the first step to disappearing anyone.

I keep puzzling over how Rubio thinks it'll bring PROSPERITY to kidnap gay hairdressers based on their tattoos & then pay $20K/year to detain them in a slave camp. We could have spent that $6M on supporting trade with Congo instead, but Rubio has decided torture is better for profits?

Look he's destroying the economy and the rule of law but you have to understand the alternative was Kamala Harris constrained by a Republican Senate

🚨 Trump admin cancelled a requirement “to clean up raw sewage flowing into yards where kids often play in rural, impoverished, majority-Black communities, calling the cleanup requirement ‘illegal DEI.’ This encapsulates the Trump administration’s ‘illegal DEI’ crusade.” - @ibramxk.bsky.social

What a fucking moron.

Arson at the home of the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania on the first night of Passover. Seems like the Trump administration might be looking for anti-Semitism in all the wrong places.

The Bush and Trvmp tax cuts are responsible for 57% of increased debt since 2001 With the correct tax structure, the middle class gets richer, while the nation decreases its debt and increases its prosperity The US does not have the proper tax structure Make the wealthy pay their fair share

The SAVE Act Disenfranchises - 69M women who changed their name after marriage - 21.3M Americans who don't readily have access to proof of citizenship documents - 3.8M Americans who don't have proof of citizenship documents www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: Harvard AAUP & the nat'l AAUP have jointly filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump admin from demanding that Harvard restrict speech & undermine academic freedom or else lose $8.7 billion in federal funds. This action challenges the Trump admin's misuse of funds for coercion. Stay tuned.

from today's post about Bill Maher's latest episode of fucktacular toadyism — thanks for reading it! link to the whole thing is here: bit.ly/4cqOlE8 (longer excerpt in the alt text)

“Physically dragged from his desk…” “Sent to a foreign prison camp without trial…” “Deported for his ideas…” “Social media account checked for loyalty…” What. Are. We. Doing. America?

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?

REMEMBER THIS ONE!

If we really are barreling into a full-blown recession — and most economists say we are — it’ll be first time in history an American president brought whole thing down with a sledgehammer This isn’t a crisis he inherited. It’s a wreck he engineered— @tonywriteshere.bsky.social

Remember who helped unleash these ghouls on us.

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States
