Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

The truth behind Spinderella

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

The 30 permanent and 20 seasonal employees of Great Basin National Park serve 150,000 visitors a year, an industry which generates more than $10 million in visitor spending and is responsible for two-thirds of White Pine County's sales tax revenue. "Negative productivity" indeed.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

New Mexico made child care free for most families. Believe it or not, the good thing is good. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There are 15,000 people already at the Fighting Oligarchy Rally in Los Angeles! ✊

‼️ Military Members: Keep this phone number in a safe place! Better yet, commit it to memory ‼️

Market manipulation is a CRIME. It's securities fraud. It undermines the integrity of financial markets. Call it pump-and-dump, insider trading, whatever you like. His immunity does NOT APPLY to criminal activity. And anyone in Congress that traded, can and should be prosecuted.

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein said that FEMA will stop matching 100% of the money for Hurricane Helene recovery in North Carolina. Donald Trump’s administration refused Stein’s request to extend its 100% reimbursement period for another 180 days calling it “unwarranted.” Appalling.

Have always known humans are capable of enormous cruelty toward other humans. Was not aware of how many Americans would support this level of cruelty. Unnerving.

Louisianan’s, is this what you elected Speaker Mike Johnson to do, screw you silly???

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant. Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court. Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene. If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Speak out now!

Been abroad for the last week for a seminar and it was striking to hear my international colleagues be as alarmed and afraid about US politics as we are. The world order that for so long has anchored itself around US hegemony is, at least in some rooms, rethinking a lot…

Since security firms have gone quiet, let me say that @thekrebscycle.bsky.social was an exemplary 1st director of CISA & worked super hard to defend & protect the American people. The pineapple on pizza thing is still weird, but otherwise, I’m a fan. I stand with Chris. #defenddemocracy

Undocumented migrants pay $100 billion in income taxes alone, yet can't qualify to get social security or medicare. Billionaires are the ones draining your economy, not immigrants. Wake up!

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Finally. Universities with backbone. Thank you, Harvard and Princeton. Well done! Courtesy of Amy Siskind

Everybody kept saying

It's wild that there are 8.2 billion people on this planet right now and one solitary dumbass is singlehandedly blowing up the world economy

The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to El Salvador, says that him and the family have not been able to contact him and don't know his current condition. Absolutely unacceptable! Bring him HOME!

Come back Jesus!!!

Exactly

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

Exclusive: Military contractors are pitching the White House on an unprecedented prison plan for detained immigrants. Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince wants to cut a deal to skirt immigration laws and transport detainees from the U.S. to El Salvador.
