When the handmaids tale was published, it was fiction. Fast forward a few years and now it's reality TV.

Alright Magats! You’re dream jobs have arrived! You kicked out those damned migrants stealing your jobs. Your nirvana is here!

TOO MUCH FOR A THURSDAY MID AFTERNOON! FSU SHOOTING, DHS TRYING TO ABDUCT CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS, ONE LITTLE GIRL WALKING TO SCHOOL TAKEN, BONDI "CREATING MORE FALSE CRIMINAL RECORD ON GARCIA" TOO MUCH FOR HALF A DAY! GOD PLEASE HELP US, STOP THIS MADNESS! 😢😢😭

Over 200 people were sent to a Salvadoran gulag with no due process! Bring every 1 of them home. Merwil Gutiérrez was also mistakenly taken & he's just a teenager-a boy, FFS! Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dad of 3 & union member. Will you be next? Will I? Speak out & call Congress at 202-224-3121!

Governor Janet Mills is the kind of American that we should aspire to be. #Patriot Here’s her statement in response to the absurd lawsuit filed by the DIJ against the State of Maine over alleged Title IX violations. The FOTUS regime continues to defy the Constitution.

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Are you watching @maddow.msnbc.com tonight? Cause….wow.

contact local law enforcement & file charges based on this report (we need a real copy) that was sent to congress regarding ID THEFT done by DOGE. 10 GIGS of data is 6.78 million text pages. The question is what about all the other federal computers data shared with who? youtu.be/Fqkmt1fhBAw

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

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.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

My government will rebuild and rearm our military to prepare Canada for an increasingly divided world. By boosting domestic production, using Canadian materials, and backing new Canadian technologies, we’ll get the job done.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.
