Still baffled that those who claim to be followers of Jesus are persecuting immigrants and those living in poverty by denying them basis human rights Art by Andy Marlette

NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

If you're wondering why so many right wing individuals are saying hateful things about the late Pope, the reason is simple: he told them that they should care about other people.

The value of the dollar has hit a 3 year low. So. Much. Winning. 🤦‍♀️

Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.

We are visiting in London and I couldn’t find anywhere that even took cash. All were cards. No major city takes cash-unless it’s under the table!!!

Love this!

The S&P 500’s performance since Inauguration Day is now the worst for any president up to this point in data going back to 1928.

Or does she get cash gifts that can’t be traced.

It’s not a fkkking party. It’s to remember his life and legacy and a solemn, holy moment. He has no filter. He will try to make this about him, as usual.

Just so we’re clear, the felon/GOP/oligarchs’ tax cut plan for the ultra wealthy will be paid by all of the rest of us! The plan is to cut our earned benefits including but not limited to Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid; & critical gov’t services e.g., SNAP, public education for children, science!

This

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

May God bless Pope Francis and hold him close. I remain hopeful that his direction of inclusion will be followed by his successor.

Seems like a violation of the establishment clause.

We have a winner.

A Professor at the University of Houston is being unjustly deported by Trump & his goons literally weeks before finals. The man had a visa, he has a family, he was here legally. If it can happen to him, it can happen to you or your family next.

Are we great yet?

The Trump regime has done more damage to the USA in less than 90 days than all global terrorist groups and militias combined have been able to in the last 60 years.

This is the dollar since “liberation day”

We didn't deport your family members, screw up your 401(k), or fire you from your job. So, why are you more angry at us for saying "we told you so" than you are at the felon? He's the one causing your grief, not us. Serious question. *sip*🔥☕️

This was three months ago.

Of the 24 items on this aisle at Costco, mostly appliances and housewares, 22 are made in China With the new 145% tariff on our side alone, these products could now cost nearly 2.5x what you would have paid before #TrumpTariffs 🤦🏻‍♂️

a.m.a.z.a.i.n.g.l.y…accurate…

If only they would

Say it, Congressman Swalwell!!!!!!!

Are we great yet?

Every member of Congress should state on video whether or not they support Trump’s tariffs. REPUBLICANS: don’t be shy, tell us on camera if you support Trump’s tariffs and why. DEMOCRATS: your midterm ads. 🔥

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Trump hits the golf course as stock market continues to slide from his tariff plans... https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-hits-golf-course-stock-154422029.html

Reminder: as the Dow is tanking faster than 2008, and four dead servicemen arrive at Dover, Trump is golfing: with the saudis

Stock market is tanking, democracy is dying and CNN is focusing on a fencer who doesn’t want to face a transgender opponent. Do better CNN. @cnn.com

Hell, Bring back Biden!

Never has cared & never will.

As global markets melt down, Trump is turning to … pro golf. The president is headed to a LIV Golf event hosted at one of his Florida clubs. It’s another example of Trump prioritizing his relationships with the Saudis — they own LIV — and blending his personal business and presidential office.

🇺🇸 CAPTAIN AMERICA 🇺🇸

Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”
