Fun fact: if one goes to ICE’s website’s “Newsroom” link. One can find current press releases purporting to show February 2025 raids but which are actually old raids, 2023, for instance, with updated time stamps. It’s as if there aren’t as many “criminal illegals” as they claimed…

Sharia law of a different stripe, violates the Establishment Clause, chills free expression and assembly. #unconstitutional #unenforceable Look at pre-revolution Iran of the late seventies. Christo-fascism is here, wrapped in the flag. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump’s buyouts appear to void any recourse employees might have upon termination; however, leave no obligation on the admin to employ the takers through the date of resignation. All it does is eliminate legal protections from wrongful termination, for good ppl. At least he’s predictable.

#LeaveHuffPost #FashHuffPost @huffpost.com what’s the societal benefit to appeasing Trump and not covering real issues of our time? We know there is likely a personal, fiscal component; but why undermine society?

1 Last paragraph: DOJ calling its Atty’s “his” lawyers is ugly. Basically, DOJ is subordinating the constitution and everything else to Trump. If they refuse to sign a brief, fired. If they refused an assignment, fired. This line: Attys who “otherwise delay[] or impede[] the Dep.’s Mission”

Voters everywhere need to understand that “voucher programs” redirect taxpayer money to already-well-funded private schools, costing public schools millions in some states so far. GOP love to use private schools as examples of “good” education. Reality is they pay more and treat employees better

*stolen Is this the American Exceptionalism? The so-called Leader of the Free World can’t get past his own illegal actions/decisions, so he’ll spend the rest of his remaining shits posting greasy-fingered rants claiming everyone conspired against him. The felon can’t accept being wrong

They are all but telling us they want a Christo-fascist state and the media/Dems appear to be playing catch up. As an aside: DAE wonder if the quality of his spray tan & makeup is inversely proportional to how much shit he’s giving staff? Seriously, bad things. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Trump thinks the US MSM has deceived the World as much as MAGA. I hope these leaders keep calling this bullshit out. International order cannot exist on a playing field designed by impetuous incels and religious zealots.

Putin: 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

People: this is real; it’s not entertainment. Get your info elsewhere than @cnn.com If they cared about America more than $$$ they’d not have supported Trump since 2016.

This is by design. The Trump admin is limiting communications, making vague threats, and not speaking out on exactly who is involved. Has there been coordination with local LEOs (beyond Proud Boy channels), or will we see one shot bc they got called to a “raid” by led one of these traitors?

Trump says he will limit Musk’s access to Treasury. The damage is done. Judicial and Congress failed America.

If only @nytimes.com had some integrity to report these disasters as such, and not relegate them to “Opinion.”

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

At what point does the military step in? Isn’t that what often happens in dictatorships where the dictator goes insane? Isn’t the US military supposed to have a plan for everything?

@npr.org why don’t you analyze it and explains the legality? That’s what the news used to do; instead of cowardly separating itself from reports it should make. #coward #deportmusk #msm

@fetterman.senate.gov you do not belong in that seat. You’ve violated your oath. You’ve enriched yourself at constituents’ expense. Now you’ve emboldened Trump w/ a vote for his unqualified noms. Why? You’re either a coward or need more $ than your salary.

Justifying their corruption through “morals.” Only THEY know which morals we all must live with. Only THEY understand how imposing religion on all would make things “perfect.” Meanwhile, they are really enriching themselves, like all the other greedy, immoral humans before. Zero improvement in 20yrs

Once again, the US Govt is openly looking for ways to compel private sector compliance with this anti-DEI push when it is not criminalized and likely protected by the first amendment (not according to Robert$ I’m sure$).

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Good morning, BlueSky. 🦋🦋 It’s a good day to have a good day. Remember that small things eventually make a big difference. Stay informed, use your voice, check in with your friends, don’t forget to do something nice for yourself, and let’s have a wonderful day. 💙🦋💙🦋

Hound them in the halls, parking lots, offices, and at home. Dems need to leave the GOP unable to hide from this. #deportmusk #deporttheGOP

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

I always found “College Republicans” clubs to consist of mostly “rush” rejects, religious zealots, and dimwits who want to feel powerful. Much like the ones in power these kids never did positive things on campus and were fed cultish “moral superiority” arguments. @thetnholler.bsky.social

@wsj.com if one fails to consider all relevant historical context and cherry-picks data, I’m sure one can make an argument that a lily-white senate is qualified and not a product of institutional bias. It’s just that the entire system, beginning with slavery, was predicated on division…

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

I’m sorry, Barbie, when did congress criminalize DEI? This is the thing: Trump & the GOP are “off the reservation” in that all these actions are not following the basic govt framework and ignoring all check & balances. The GOP is a group of miserable, greedy, shortsighted hucksters. Remember.

The site lists workers’ salaries along with what it describes as “DEI offenses,” including political donations, screenshots of social media posts.” Musk is the embodiment of his and the right’s DEI lies that hires are less qualified or standards are lowered. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

#arrestelonmusk State’s rights! Arrest Musk, MD & VA, America is looking at you. Maybe a state should use its eminent domain powers to “acquire” Tesla property.

Any Senator, Republican or Democrat, who votes for RFK Jr. is killing Americans.

If you ever wondered what a jellyfish with NO testicular fortitude looks like, this is it👇Senator Cassidy (R-LA) folded like a cheap suit and voted to advance RFK Jr out of committee today, totally defying his Hippocratic oath. MAGA Republicans will never put country over party! Shameful!

Elon’s future permanent home on St. Helena. #DeportMusk

NEW — DOGE is preparing to purge an unknown number of USAID accounts. Source in the dept. said Musk youth employee Gavin Kliger has been made administrator of all systems, bypassing usual clearance process. If an account is shut down, employee loses access to email, shared files, internal systems.

Effective Altruism is a lie they tell to not tax the wealthy. Just like how immigrants (and now DEI) are the perennial reasons for all of America’s ills. I remember when “affirmative action” was the name and thought the #GOP got that tantrum out of their system years ago. #deportmusk

Montreal newspaper yesterday. I agree.

All the #gop need to do is raise the Social Security taxable income level from $176k to about $250k. They won’t I expect, because they break bad and it seems their personal enrichment is more important than anything else. #fecklesstraitors
