Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

How ironic that a convicted felon and career fraudster who created a fake scam university to defraud students is now proceeding to lecture a prestigious university like Harvard. It doesn’t get more MAGA red hat than that.

Flying to the edge of space on a corrupt billionaire’s expensive and oddly shaped shuttle just to coast for several minutes doesn’t make you an astronaut in any way shape or form, it makes you a trashy puppet who would do anything for a photo op.

I wrote about those TikToks from Chinese factories that claim to "cut out the middleman" for Lululemon, Birkenstocks, and more. They're designed to entice US shoppers who are nervous about tariffs and used to low prices. Most claims are also probably bullshit. www.theverge.com/tech/649049/...

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

With China stopping all trading/exporting of rare earth minerals with U.S., the MAGA regime has launched a “critical minerals probe” ahead of more tariffs. The fascist dumbasses have figured out that the U.S. needs certain minerals that can only be produced by other countries.

#ProudBlue #MomSky The judge in the Garcia case isn’t messing around. She has now called for expedited discovery. She wants it done within two weeks. She is not happy with the administration at all. Every day causes more damage. Thanks @aaronparnas.bsky.social for always reporting the facts!

This is the second video of ICE agents shattering a window in the last week rather than have some patience. And in this case, they're allegedly detaining someone who already has asylum through his wife, with no reason given at all! www.borderreport.com/news/video-s...

Leavitt is mocking, Kilmer Garcia, the man THEY MISTAKENLY deported to a hellhole prison in El Salvador saying: “You would think we deported a candidate for father of the year.” This psychopathic woman is a despicable disgrace to all real Christians and Americans who uphold mercy in their hearts.

President Biden speaks out to save Social Security #LiveBlue #ResistanceUnited www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLMO...

Trump has not tried to return wrongly deported man. "There will be no tolerance for gamesmanship or grandstanding," Judge Xinis said at a hearing in Greenbelt, Maryland. "To date, what the record shows is that nothing has been done. Nothing." #MomSky #Voices4Victory www.reuters.com/legal/judge-...

Every law firm that refused to cave to Trump and instead fought him in court - won!! They all won!

There's nothing inspirational about this bunch of clowns in their designer suits, they are an embarrassment to the women's movement and should be ostracised!! bsky.app/profile/bind...

Call me naive but I don’t think there would be “We don’t tolerate aggression” signs all over hospitals and doctors’ offices in 2025 if Trump weren’t president when Covid hit.

No Billionaire Tax Bailout! The Republicans want to cut a trillion dollars in life saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP (food stamps) to give tax breaks to the wealthiest while taxing lower income Americans more! HELL NO! #BillionaireTaxBailout

Trump is home-grown, mentioned in the Epstein Report 64 times, has 91 criminal charges, has 34 felony convictions, has 26 sexual assault accusations and wants to take due process away from the rest of us.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Tomi Lahren: "Trump has managed to isolate China from the rest of the world." BTC: "There's reporting now that Japan & South Korea are negotiating trade deals with China... the EU is eliminating Chinese EV tariffs. I'm concerned you're not familiar with which country is being isolated."

Why is she talking about Abrego Garcia in the past tense?

Wow! HHS is hitting new levels of recklessness and incompetence… U.S. citizens are being threatened with deportation by Homeland Security. Nicole Micheroni isn’t just a citizen—she’s an immigration attorney. And she got a notice to leave the country within 7 days.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

DOOCY: Killing the first born child of every American family -- is that legal? LEAVITT: The president has been very interested in mass murder, for many many years now, so we will look into that and let you know once the Great Patriotic Winnowing begins. Probably next Monday, maybe Tuesday, OK?

Millions fewer tourists are visiting the US under Trump, according to new data. This could cost the economy nearly $90 billion this year.

Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

This story and the other one in the Washington Post about DOGE breaking into SSA (wapo.st/3G9JR97) made me wonder where some of the litigation against DOGE stands, and TIL something just wow (cont'd in next post)...

If only we could have foreseen this... This level of neglect and blatant disregard for human life, particularly in a highly--if inequitably--resourced environment is an outrage. #HealthIsAHumanRight

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Trans artists from Canada are pulling out of US tour dates as Donald Trump continues to crack down on immigration at the border. www.wired.com/story/trans-...

Trump to Fox on deporting Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "We want to do it. I would love to do that."

Damn right!

The Epstein list continues to sit on bribe for hire Pam Bondi’s desk because it was never her intention to release it to the public as she was always going to bury it since she too is a criminal.

Call your governor -- tell them to use state police to stop ICE from detaining people without a warrant. No warrant = kidnapping. This is a fundamental 4th amendment issue.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

Good for Harvard standing up to bully!

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

So we had an earthquake today, and something amazing happened…

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

What a contrast between how our allies get treated versus little dictators like Bukele. Not a word about him not wearing a suit either, as he petitions the US to expand his country’s mercenary penal colony by sending him more money.

Emily Ratajkowski criticizes the Blue Origin space launch in new video: “You are going up in a space ship that is built and paid for by a company that is single-handedly destroying the planet.”
