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

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. Theyā€™re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. Theyā€™re mocking everyone who isnā€™t them. The abuserā€™s playbook yet again.

Good morning resisters Canadaā€™s federal election is just around the corner ā¤ļøšŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ April 28th is the day that we will either move forward with Mark Carney or go back with PP the Trump wannabe Itā€™s a no šŸ§ er.

ā€œIf Abrego Garcia can be kept in El Salvadorā€¦then there is nothingā€¦stopping the administration from snatching whatever individual it chooses, putting him on a plane to El Salvador, and then claiming that what is done is done.ā€ www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

Two years ago, Ralph Yari went to pick up his siblings from a friendā€™s home. Mistakenly, he went to the wrong door where the homeowner shot him twice. Remarkably, he lived. He has earned a spot in Missouriā€™s all-state band.

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?

Trumpā€™s budget proposal would fully eliminate Head Start More than 1 million parents wouldn't be able to go to work under the proposal, the National Head Start Association warns.

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Whoā€™s going to primary this DINO?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Now: Will this lawless administration comply, or launch an all-out crazy-ass constitutional crisis?

Thank goodness. Supreme Court upholds order directing Trump officials to return wrongly [and illegally] deported man [married to an American citizen]! [Gifted article] wapo.st/4cCAniQ

Irony, anyone? ā€œTrump said he was targeting [Krebs] for saying the 2020 election was not rigged. ā€œAbusive conduct of this sort both violates the First Amendment and erodes trust in Government, thus undermining the strength of our democracy itself.ā€ šŸ¤Æ www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

Oh don't forget that even tho trump is playing with the stock markets, signalgate is still there and your national security is still being played with Pete Hegseth still at the helm. Your safety was compromised and will continue to be compromised.

The failure isnā€™t the insane President. The failure is all the supposedly sane people pretending heā€™s not.

Statesā€™ rights was once a bedrock of the Republican Party. But in an autocracy there are no statesā€™ rights.

The tide is changing in Montana! Today, 17 Republicans joined with democrats to defeat another anti-trans bill in the MT house. Additionally, Republicans joined democrats to kill a "forced outing" bill in House Education yesterday. That's 2/2 in defeating anti trans bills this week!

Trump has ZERO respect for anybody, especially our military men and women and war veterans. Obama is a REAL president.

Today, Americaā€™s unions stood in solidarity with researchers, health care providers, educators, and allies to tell Congress and this administration that cuts to critical research and health care will cost lives.
