Damn right!

Polluters are backing a dangerous liquefied natural gas project in the heart of the Gulf of California, home to 39 percent of all marine mammal species on earth. We can’t let Big Oil sacrifice this UNESCO World Heritage site for profit.

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.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

"After all these years in and around politics, I’d like to think I have a pretty strong stomach, but yesterday was sickening... This was not newsreel footage of two dictators meeting somewhere far away and long ago. This was yesterday. Here in the Oval Office." www.thebulwark.com/p/two-dictat...

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

'Legal Resident With A Valid Green Card Is Being Detained By ICE.' 32 year old Rui Murras, who has lived in the US since he was 2, is in immigration detention in Maine, according to the New Bedford Light. Despite having a valid green card, Murras was detained after returning from a trip abroad.

Is it me or is the Oval Office starting to look like St Petersburg?

Republicans are working to kick grandparents out of nursing homes & assisted living, threaten coverage for 2 in every 5 births, hike grocery bills for millions, and raise your monthly student loan bill. All to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. #BillionaireTaxBailout

Shocking actually…👇 Always. Raise. Your. Kids. Right. ✨

NEW: Cory Booker at his town hall in Tucson, Arizona last night: "I have never witnessed in my life such an assault on the very ideals of our government. We are in a crisis. This is not normal. And it will continue until it is met with a demand from the people."

I want the record to reflect that when the United States started picking people off the street who had done no harm, shipped them out of the country in the middle of the night, without the slightest right to due process, and sent them to a concentration camp, demanding that the world looks away

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?

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Entire embassies to be closed as Trump looks to cut State Dept. budget by nearly half https://twp.ai/4imbc3

The Trump regime has done more damage to the USA in less than 90 days than all global terrorist groups and militias combined have been able to in the last 60 years.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

This is a pretty extraordinary thing -- not sure I've seen or heard of anything like this before. It's tomorrow/Tuesday morning -- noon eastern, 9am pacific: speakupforjustice.law

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Hungary will ban Pride and erase #transgender and #intersex people. A new law also allows authorities to use facial recognition tools to identify and punish individuals that attend prohibited events. It is time to throw Hungary out of the EU.

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

Today, two RU ballistic missiles struck the center of Sumy. The second missile with a cluster warhead caused most deaths. The double tab strike killed 34, including 2 children, and wounded 117, including 15 children. A barbaric act for which RU must be punished! www.pravda.com.ua/news/2025/04...

I will never trust a country that thought it was a good idea to elect this ridiculous, malevolent man as its leader.

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."

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

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.

Failing to acknowledge that we are in a moment of national crisis unrivaled in our history is not only denying reality it is inviting disaster. Failing to use every legal tool at our disposal to resist & preserve our freedoms is a betrayal of every past, current and future generation of Americans.

Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

This might sound cruel, but I won’t cry when he dies, I’ll clap.

Killer sign. A+++ sign

"The alliance of labor and socialism is the outstanding fact of history of unionism in Milwaukee. Though Socialism achieved notable success in other cities, nowhere was its relationship with labor as strong and enduring as in Milwaukee."

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...
