How Fox this morning frames Russia’s latest missile attacks against civilians: “Both sides now accusing each other of violating the 30-day cease fire agreement.”

Petty 🍊 was ordered to unfreeze Maine child nutrition program funding that was cut over dispute with Maine Gov. over transgender students. Gov. Mills wasn’t playing when she told the orangutan 🦧 she’d see him in court! 😂🤣😂

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Get it, yet?! 👇

'Devastating cuts': Trump eliminates office tied to benefits for at least 80 million people https://twp.ai/4img8F

Last July, Project 2025's Kevin Roberts said “the second American Revolution ... will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” It was a declaration of war against the American people, a demand for our surrender. Some cowards in law, academia and business have submitted. Many of us never will.

If the United States wanted him out of that prison, he would already be home, with or without El Salvadorian assistance.

Under Trump, ICE has become a weapon. Protesters are arrested. Immigrants are disappeared. Kilmar wasn't a threat, he was a legal resident who fit a profile. Mahmoud wasn't silenced for violence-he was targeted. This is an American Gestapo. (1/3) #FreeKilmar #DefendDueProcess #BringThemBack

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. The reason the descent into a police state has been so rapid is because the infrastructure was already there. It’s been there since 9/11.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Hey "Missouri Right to Life," which is it, you just want to control women, or you don't care if people die? How is forcing a raped person to report, or be forced to give birth, no matter how she became pregnant, "Pro-life?" Say NO to gov control of your reproductive health care. #HandsOff

And don't forget ignoring the return of 4 dead Army soldiers from Lithuania. The people of Lithuania showed more respect for US dead soldiers, than their own president ever has. I remember a 💩 ton of bitchin’ whiney ass people on the right throwing a tantrum because Biden glanced at his watch.

"So many children died." - If one of Ukraine's allies (America) shows weakness to Russia, they’ll just carry on their outrageous and unjust war. The only way to negotiate with Russia is from a position of strength. www.france24.com/en/video/202...

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Trump is ABUSING HIS POWER to EXTORT compliance, political favors, or payoffs through the arbitrary and capricious application of laws and policies. This pointless trade war fits the pattern of Trump abusing his power.

On the evening of April 8, our teams in Al Mawasi clinic, southern #Gaza, received an influx of nine people after a strike hit 300 metres away from the facility. Two were dead on arrival, including a two-year-old boy, the seven others were wounded.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

If you haven’t seen this, you need to! Trump is short-selling America—deliberately tanking the economy so that businesses and entire industries bend the knee and beg him to save them. Thanks, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, for sounding the alarm. Now, what is Congress going to do about it?

38% of people living in Mike Johnson's district were enrolled in Medicaid last year. Yet Johnson is pushing for devastating cuts to Medicaid — all to pay for tax cuts that will predominantly go to the rich. Is there a better encapsulation of the Republican Party?

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength. Capitulation isn’t courage. Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism. We used to know the difference.

My detained client was scheduled for a bond hearing this AM in a MA immigration court. He wasn't brought in, and he and his case have disappeared. I then received this notice of activity on a nonexistent docket in which his name was changed to "N/A" It's all happening a lot faster than I expected

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

NEW: The Venezuelan military says it has raised its alert level following the discovery of an alleged U.S. plot to fabricate an incident at an ExxonMobil offshore platform in the contested waters between Venezuela and Guyana to justify an armed conflict.

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

This administration will go to any length to ensure the American public has zero transparency. Now, senior Justice Department officials are invoking executive privilege to block a dismissed lawyer from testifying before Congress — all in an effort to intimidate whistleblowers and suppress the truth.

I feel like I know everyone and no one. And the only difference between the two is me. But, I do know science very well, thanks to many great teachers. What we are doing to education is probably the biggest contributor to our demise. Some are cheering. I weep, but I fight, for peace.

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history. The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

I've never seen a clearer case for why people need to study the social sciences and public sector management in particular. This is incredibly dangerous.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

While the markets were losing a record $6.6 trillion since he announced his tariffs. Trump is at his Doral Golf club having a grand ole time with his Saudi buddies. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said the economy was “starting to roar”. Both are out of touch and out of their damn minds. #ProudBlue
