This weekend, more than 10,000 in #Hungary dressed in grey for a satyrical #GreyPride to mock far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his plan to ban the LGBT+ Pride march. This ban plan is uniting entire sectors of civil society into taking collective action against the government.

This is EXACTLY how an opposition party fights back! THANK YOU, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you for keeping this gross violation of due process and civil rights in the news! I can't tell you how much it means to see you fight like this. I'm so grateful for my Senators.

We are absolutely going to find out more about massive crypto related corruption w/ El Salvador and Trumpworld people eventually, you can bookmark this ✔️

The important question for Pam Bondi on the arson attack against Josh Shapiro is if any Teslas were damaged.

Pro-life until birth...The Hypocrisy!🤔

I’m wondering how much Jeff Bezos heavily advertised Blue Origin vanity space flight must cost? How tone deaf are Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez and Katy Perry? This country is in dire straits and want us to watch and be excited for “their moment “. This is an absurd distraction.

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

You really see the incentive trap with the Bukele stuff; this is objectively extremely important, from the standpoint of liberal democracy it is one of the worst things the administration is doing, and politically there is essentially *no* serious constituency for loudly opposing it. Bad IMO!

America’s president

Here is the situation if I’m understanding it correctly: 1. They are deporting lawful immigrants erroneously to prisons overseas 2. They are claiming no recourse to return these individuals 3. They say they are open to deporting citizens in the same way

Can’t say more strongly: they are claiming the power to disappear people with no recourse, to entirely remove anyone they want to, forever, with no ability to stop them. “Unamerican” doesn’t do it justice. Diametrically opposed to anything even remotely resembling a society we should support.

I'm begging media outlets to stop using Bukele's self-imposed moniker, "world's coolest dictator." Even in quotes, it's gross.

Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

It is pretty wild to think of Barack Obama sitting with someone from Central America and going “well uhhhh I think it would be a good idea to uhhhh send American citizens to your secret prisons” and the media just being like oh ok that’s dope man anyways how about TARIFFS

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Bernie Sanders is a legend! This man suited up & made an incredible appearance at Coachella! He walked right up on that stage like a BOSS, and he warned the future generation of the great danger we're facing: Oligarchy, dictatorship, and oppression Much respect ✊ He's put it all on the line.

RFK Jr is an idiot. Most of Krasnov's Krazy Kabinet should be in a psychiatric hospital.

This is no longer left vs. right. It’s democracy vs. autocracy. Everyone must pick a side. We choose democracy. Join us on 4/19.

"No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue." -- Harvard President Alan Garber www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

Exactly! Doesn’t make all that much sense does it? 🤔😖

🔥🔥“I serve two combat tours in Iraq, and I will be damned if we allow the Trump administration, a draft dodging coward, to disassemble and dishonor our Veterans. ” – Rep. Pat Ryan Veterans aren’t pulling punches. Trump’s cuts are gutting care—and we’re ready for a fight.

There we go. Support this man.

The Civil War is nuts man. People were actually volunteering to join the South. Imagine signing up to be shot at just so some rich white people can keep their slaves. Imagine dying for that shit. Like bro what are you doing. Do something else with your life. Get a hobby.

"The best time to impeach the president of the United States was January 20. The second best time is now." —ancient Chinese proverb

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

SCOTUS didn't order Trump to return Abrego Garcia. They ordered the lower court to define "effectuate," they told trump to "facilitate" the return, they told trump to be ready to report the steps he's taking, & they told Xinis to show due regard & deference to trump's power over foreign affairs.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

Two key questions that #TLMEP should have asked PP: 1) Why can’t you get security clearance? Is it because you wouldn’t pass the background check? 2) Why, after 21 years in politics of not accomplishing anything, do you think that anyone should give you another chance on April 28? Why now?

Harvard is not bending the knee to Donald Trump and his administration: "The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government....

#Trump America... turning away tourists now! This works against everything we have stood for, plus will greatly harm the travel businesses based in the US... so how is any of this making us great

Mel Brooks said “Tragedy is when I cut my finger; comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.” Can someone ask whoever is watching us all flail around in this open sewer, when we can do the funny part? Thank you for enjoying arbys
