I don't see that @deadder.bsky.social has shared this here yet.

What can he possibly be thinking? It just seems cruelty is his agenda and it doesn't matter to whom it's directed.

Hey Night Owl 🦉 Democrats say it's a 'sad day for DHS' under Kristi Noem's leadership. Raise your hand if you are tired of her inhumane treatment of migrants! 🖐🏾 Repost♻️ #FuckTrump #AntiTrump

Outside of the Governor's mansion in Illinois today. ICE Barbie was supposed to be there to berate us for our sanctuary status. But, due to protesters, she chose elsewhere. Our Sec of State slowed up instead to encourage protesters and to reiterate that Illinois stands strong against Trump policies.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

How do they live with themselves?

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens. Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak. We are on a path towards dictatorship.

Protesters in Dekalb, Illinois yesterday.

Republican Senator Jim Banks said fired HHS worker helping problem with disabilities “deserved it” and is a “clown”

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.

And also Florida... let's put it into perspective... In November those districts went for Trump +30, to shrink that to +10 in a matter of 4 months, great job Florida dems! Change is incremental. We must keep our foot on the gas! 🫶🏽🖤

At least Wisconsin did the right thing today.

Thank you, Senator Booker!

The Director of DOE does not know what IDEA is. She thinks special education would be better served under Mr. Let's All Get Measles at HHS. Yeah. Then we'll hear such great advice as load up on Vitamin A and your learning disability will go away. Take a steroid for your speech disorder.

According to the LA Times, just days after the gov. challenged him, the tRump admin cut a contract with Maine that allowed parents to apply for a social security number for their newborns. All 50 states allow this. After pushback the contract was reinstated. Chaos and retribution - his style.

The Trump admin has cut a program in Illinois that provided grants to farmers to provide food to local food banks, many in poor underserved areas. In addition, over $17 million owed already to farmers will not be paid. Are we great again?

Bravo, @algreen.house.gov

Raise your sons to be the kind of men that don’t feel the need to giggle as the POTUS makes fun an African nation ‘that nobody’s ever heard of…’. America already has enough of those kinds of weak sons-of-bitches. We need dudes that give a damn now.

Public subsidies for private schools dates from school integration in the '50s; lead by Charles Koch and the Bradley, Olin, DeVos and Walton Family foundations aided by right-wing groups, conservative scholars and activists who have painted public schools as bastions perversion, anti-white ideology.

President Trump on Saturday signed an executive order aimed at undermining safeguards for endangered wildlife and bypassing other environmental protections to radically increase logging and road building on hundreds of millions of acres of national forests and other public lands.

From ABC News: The Department of Education launched a first-of-its-kind website, "EndDEI.Ed.Gov," just hours before a deadline warning institutions to end discrimination or they will be subject to federal funding consequences. I filled out the form telling what I think of this stupidity.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

Felon 47 insults people who work from home. Trump blasts WFH policies: ‘Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, playing tennis, playing golf’ I have worked from home since COVID and can tell you I do a lot more work being at home, and I'm held accountable for it.

sojo.net/articles/tru... I always remember and think about Rev. Jim Wallis' stance on budgets. Republicans truly show us their morals with every budget they ever come up with.

'Sad!' MTG reamed for saying federal workers in her district don't hold 'real jobs' www.rawstory.com/marjorie-tay... She's not just dumb as a box of rocks; she's cruel beyond words.

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about what’s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didn’t have to say this, but I’m so glad she did. Take 2 minutes… (1 of 2)

Walk away Joe... Congratulations to the Midas Touch team for finally toppling Joe Rogan for podcast supremacy. www.yahoo.com/news/progres...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
