China is openly mocking us because we are openly mockable right now.

Good discussion between Reshma Saujani and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, in which she talks about what led to the viral awkwardness of her recent Oval Office meeting.

The letter obtained by NPR marks a rare bipartisan critique from Capitol Hill of the administration's immigration policy.

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.”

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

There's more of us than there are of them, let's eradicate this shit once and for all.

“Trump and his acolytes’ thinking goes like this: Allowing one innocent man to be sent home would start a chain reaction of lawsuits for other innocent men—around 90% of those sent to El Salvador had no criminal record—to be returned to their families and homes.” www.thebulwark.com/p/there-will...

We Are In A Constitutional Crisis….

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The court system is a coequal branch of government. If the administration isn’t going to follow their orders it’s time to hold some senior officials in contempt.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Facts! If the SC hadn't given the orange turd immunity, he'd be sitting in prison right now.

Happy Jackie Robinson Day. It is important to remember our history. All of it. He who forgets the past is doomed to repeat it.

Exactly.

Doesn't feel like the "descent into fascism" anymore, just feels like in-the-thick-of-it fascism 😬

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."

Boom! 💥

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Even Stormy knows you aint got much lead in your pencil!

#GVerse Have to love these videos, they really are getting better everyday! 🤣

Authoritarianism

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

In Idaho, more than 12,500 people packed an arena to see Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders on their “Fight Oligarchy” tour. It’s one of the biggest political events ever in Idaho. More here:

If Salvardorans couldn't rein in their president Nayib Bukele, we can help. Let's boycott Salvardoran-made products.

Injustice against one is injustice against all of us.

(Bloomberg) - The European Union and US made scant progress bridging trade differences this week as officials from President Donald Trump’s administration indicated that the bulk of the US tariffs imposed on the bloc will not be removed. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina But that claim is false We have receipts

(WSJ) - Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) bought shares of 19 companies and sold between $50,001 and $100,000 worth of Treasury bills on April 8 and 9, according to financial disclosures released today. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

#Resist 🇺🇸 Obama praises Harvard after the Trump administration pulls billions in funding 👀📣 The former president urged universities to resist the White House’s attempts to “stifle academic freedom.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I’ve been hearing people say that hundreds of thousands of people have been signing up to volunteer for the Republicans using fake info! It really clogs up volunteer efforts! What a shame! Can’t do anything nice these days! Hope no one else does this! gop.com/volunteer/

Americans need to follow the example of Harvard and let the Orange Dunce know that this is still America and not some third world country to be intimidated to by some wannabe DICKtator.

Yay, Harvard! This is how you deal with the criminal in the Oval Office. Stand Up and fight! #Resist

A reminder that while Democracy Docket was warning that Pam Bondi was an election denier who would do Trump's bidding, the Washington Post was giving her a literal thumbs up. Forget the legacy media, sign up for Democracy Docket today. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

🚨JUST IN: China has just CANCELLED all jet orders from American manufacturer Boeing to in response to President Trump hitting the country with tariffs as high as 145% on Chinese goods. China will also no longer purchase any aircraft-related equipment from American companies.

Trump has met this year in the Oval Office with the young leaders of two nations. One is a liberal democrat, leading a nation defending itself against a brutal dictator. The other is a brutal dictator. Trump much prefers the dictator.
