Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

You may not be aware that over the last 50 years, the Supreme Court has chipped away at your Miranda rights case by case, rendering them weak and ineffective. You no longer have the right to remain silent, to an attorney, not with the foece you used to. Time for a history lesson. /🧵

These billboards line the streets around Albuquerque, New Mexico.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Albuquerque as we started marching. #HandsOff #NoKings April 19th

Great turn out today in Albuquerque, despite the cold wet snow!! ❄️ 🥶

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

Our voices are stronger when we howl together 🐺🐺

Let's call this what it is: A concentration camp.

There sure are a lot of evil blonde women working in the Republican party.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

We’re closing in on the release of our own @emmaamador.bsky.social’s new book, published by @dukepress.bsky.social! Out soon!

The Global Engagement Center, a State Department unit that called out Russian and Chinese propaganda campaigns, has been shut down.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

They mean it.

I actually quite like the idea of calling space tourists asstronauts, to distinguish them from real astronauts who actually trained to go to space to do science. Obviously they still sound the same said out loud, so we’ll also need a dismissive gesture to go with it so it’s clear which one we mean

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

If you love your library, listen up…

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

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

The GOP is not the party of fiscal responsibility—but of tariffs and cruel cuts to social programs. That includes $230B in cuts to SNAP and food assistance in their latest budget resolution. In NM 1 in 5 children are food insecure. We must stop these cuts from being becoming law.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

Last week, the front lines in the twilight battle to salvage our democracy were in Wisconsin. This week, the front lines are in North Carolina. Chip in if you can. secure.actblue.com/donate/defen...

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Best sign at the Albuquerque protest:

Today, we’re saying hands off Medicaid, Social Security, VA benefits and all of the programs that New Mexicans rely on. As we stand together, we send a clear message: we will never stop organizing and we will stand up for our communities!
