At what hour did this asshole start listening to lawyers? It’s his decision, and his alone.

Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls. Nonetheless, they sent them out into the rain in underwear & then took all their $ as evidence. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Jaw-dropping behavior. He was the lead defendant in this case. "Martin appeared to be 'deliberately interfering with a judicial proceeding with the intent to undermine the integrity of the outcome,' said Scott Cummings, a professor of legal ethics at UCLA School of Law. 'That’s not OK.'”

"I can't come in today I have to get my Dictator Removed"😉 MayDayStrong.Org We're only a couple days away from the MAYDAYMAYDAY Movement that is sweeping up the Nation in The amount of MILLIONS✨️Find an Event near you and make sure you're getting Active Fellow Activists‼️🇺🇸 #MayDayStrong #UnitedWeStand

Today, I stand in unwavering support of my friend and brother, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, as he continues his courageous work at the U.S. Capitol. His prophetic call for justice echoes the civil rights movement that shaped leaders like my father, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.

Who hid Americans during the 1979 hostage crisis? Canada. 🇨🇦 👊🏻

After ICE agents raid the wrong Oklahoma location (the immigrants they were looking had already moved), they still force minor girls outside in their underwear, raid the home, and take the family’s money and electronics. kfor.com/news/local/w...

🚨 BREAKING: Senator Cory Booker and Leader Hakeem Jeffries have begun a sit-in at the United States Capitol to protest Republican Medicaid cuts, Wisconsin tells employees to limit cooperation with ICE, and more. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

The AP tried, and failed, to meet up with the 10 most vulnerable swing district Republicans during the recent House recess. Not one of them hosted an in-person event open to the public.

Gestapo literally means SECRET State Police.

Wisconsin needs to get their judge back.

President Donald Trump targeted the financial backbone of the Democratic Party in a memo Thursday as part of a major escalation in his ongoing authoritarian effort to use the government to hamstring his political opponents, the White House said. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

#ICYMI: Trump’s slashing of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health includes a team of workers who examined firefighter deaths. Probes into deaths at 20 fire departments are now unlikely to be completed, an investigator said.

“If you say you believe in freedom, —but only freedom for some people, —you don’t believe in freedom. You believe in privilege.” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz 🔥 State of the State Speech @c-span.bsky.social

Harmful bleaching of the world’s coral has now grown to include 84% of the ocean’s reefs in the most intense event of its kind in recorded history.

Over on X, a tale of the madness currently playing out with student visas is currently going viral on the basis of an astonishing quote from a judge calling what the Trump administration is doing “Kafkaesque.” The lawsuit is one of Banias. law’s emergency TRO cases and the quote is from 5 days ago.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Michael Roth, Wesleyan University's first Jewish president, says the Trump administration is using antisemitism as a "cloak" to get universities to be loyal to the president.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

So proud that this is one of my Senators. Use what power you have. Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov.

We were out making good trouble in the Philly burbs again today! @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

“Members of Congress don’t swear an oath to defend the Constitution only if it tests well in a focus group, or w/pundits and consultants. Nor does Republican opposition justify inaction. Refusing to do the right thing bc you expect others won’t join is just another form of complying in advance.”

Molly Jong-Fast: “I'm going to respectfully push back on this. This is thought policing 101. This is not okay. They are using anti-antisemitism as a cloak. This is about targeting speech. It has nothing to do with anti-antisemitism and everything to do with authoritarianism.” #HarvardUniversity

I am a professor at Columbia University. All of the student NIH training grants have been canceled and now there are reports that ALL funding will be frozen. Why are Universities not banding together and speaking out publicly and forcibly about governmental attacks on biomedical research?

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."

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

Are you a history professor who has been pressured to alter your curriculum — particularly regarding the history of Black & African American people in the United States? We would love to talk to you. Send us a DM!

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Yesterday the Oval Office.

“This highly unusual step of directing armed law enforcement officers to the home of a former DoJ employee who has engaged in no misconduct, let alone criminal conduct, simply to deliver a letter, is both unprecedented and completely inappropriate.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump wrote this 3 hours before his 1:18pm 90 day tariff pause announcement. Veiled tip to his friends?

Republicans in Congress can end this any time

If I lived anywhere near the Omaha/Valley WFO, I'd volunteer to launch the rawinsondes (weather balloons) twice per day. Something I've done many times (including in hostile territory overseas). We need this data for accurate forecast models. It's not happening because of staffing shortages.

“I choose courage.” Thank you @cohen489.bsky.social

A federal judge ruled that the White House's decision to bar the AP from the Oval Office & East Room was unconstitutional retaliation for the AP's refusal to use the Trump administration's preferred term, "Gulf of America." A win for free speech until SCOTUS weighs in.

these people saw the attention and affection Booker got and they wanted summa dat. courage begets courage.
