Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission. [Marika Sparrow]

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

I applaud Rep. Al Green, You can't just sit around and do nothing. Once again. Black folks leading.....

Doge not saving you money

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

"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"

"The Truth is, These are Not Very Bright Guys, and Things Got Out of Hand"

I knew the 1st part and shook my head. The 2nd is the deeper damage.

The government plans to call Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg to the witness stand. The trial is expected to run nearly two months in a federal courtroom in Washington.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

NEW: The govt has filed it's daily status report on Abrego Garcia. ICE official Evan Katz declares Abrego Garcia was removed illegally, but that's okay now because the government has declared he's a member of MS13, and they have no further updates. WOW. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We're less than 10 minutes from the daily status update deadline for the government in the Abrego Garcia case. The Trump regime filed it late and incomplete (provided a more complete response wasn't filed under seal) yesterday. Let's see what happens today.

Gov. Shapiro says he and his family "woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police" early Sunday morning. The fire caused significant damage, but fortunately, no one was injured.

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

36k in LA!

I have this radical lefty belief that voting should be easier than buying a gun.

Pathetic.

Coolest Subaru I have ever seen

Make it make sense

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Tracks.

I am old enough to remember when the first Trump administration met to work on healthcare, including maternity and abortion care. Here is a picture of the event. Do you notice anything?

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

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

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Hope BlueSky will remain true to its values unlike Meta youtu.be/i9T2RKmWg80?...

Why is reading important? Why is access to literature important? @jennyboylan.bsky.social, author of “Good Boy: My Life in Seven Dogs” has the answer: “An education is supposed to prepare you for the world.” #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Every time I read about these law firms caving I think about the sporting goods store owner in the Sopranos who got in hock to Tony and how Tony’s crew ended up cleaning out his store and bankrupting him …. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bust_Out

😡 VOTE THEM OUT!😡

Hey MAGA I’m confused, so today does the market matter or no? Because yesterday it was a sure sign of trumps genius, but i haven’t heard todays verdict?

The majority of people at that table hate Howard Lutnick.

NEW from judge in Maryland immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case: "For the reasons discussed during today’s status conference, the Court finds that the [Trump admin] have failed to comply with this Court’s Order..." Next hearing: Tuesday, April 15 at 4 pm storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yeah so don't go on a cruise ever again if you were thinking about it.
