Tomorrow’s the day Canada! 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

In an extraordinary on-air rebuke, one of the top journalists at “60 Minutes” directly criticized the program’s parent company, Paramount, in the final moments of its Sunday night CBS telecast, its first episode since the program’s executive producer, Bill Owens, announced his intention to resign.

“No matter what you have done before,” Professor William McBride wrote to Annapolis’s Superintendent Adm. Yvette Davids, “your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

Don't miss it!

NEW: VoteVets statement on Trump/Vance ‘Peace Deal’ Threats to Ukraine They are peddling Putin’s “peace plan”—a deal where Ukraine gives up land, Russia loses nothing, and tyrants everywhere get the green light to invade. This isn’t peace. It’s betrayal. STATEMENT: votevets.org/press-releas...

Just-out YouGov polling shows Trump's approval on the economy continuing to plunge — and his handling of immigration turning negative very sharply. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

My blood is boiling. This is appalling. Andry, the makeup artist deported to Trump’s foreign prison in El Salvador - without due process and under false pretenses - hasn’t been heard from in weeks. Members of Congress who went to El Salvador asked for proof that he’s alive. This is a crisis.

what — and I am at a loss to express this strongly enough — the FUCK

A good read today from @gregsargent.bsky.social, and yes @repyassansari.bsky.social is doing a great job right now.

Entartete Kunst. Plain and simple. I have warned and warned this was coming. Educate yourself about this.

Gov. DeWine just signed SB1, a law ending “DEI” in Ohio public higher ed. Now that it’s law, U of Toledo just killed the following BA programs: • Africana Studies • Asian Studies • Disability Studies • Middle East Studies • Philosophy • Religious Studies • Women's/Gender Studies And… • Spanish

New from @npr.org: Hundreds of scholars say U.S. is swiftly heading toward authoritarianism www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n... featuring our latest Bright Line Watch report brightlinewatch.org/accelerated-...

"Hegseth’s thread includes a stupid mixture of public and private, and the administrative details on the thread alone, to say nothing of the Houthi attack details, would mean the Federal Records Act covers the thread. By law Hegseth has to make copies of the thread and archive it on DOD servers."

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Democratic Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding for the next 400 YEARS in Wisconsin by crossing out a few numbers in a bill to change it from “2024–25” to “2425.” The state Supreme Court just upheld his right to do so.

It appears that OMB appears to be trying to eliminate the National Weather Service (all regional centers ran out of money this week.) Another opportunity for me to re-post an earlier piece: www.cnn.com/2020/09/14/o...

Proud to be one of the organizers of this important demonstration. Join is in DC on June 6th.

Anthony Fauci receives the Excellence in Public Policy and Public Affairs from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Hi All, just sent out this free piece. Trump is actively working with Putin to see Ukrainian civilians killed, some now and more in the future. He is depriving Ukraine of vital anti air defense, which the Ukrainians are willing to buy (helping the US economy) open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Where is the peace and prosperity we were promised on Day One? No peace for Ukraine and no prosperity at home. Just a lot of lost court cases based on the Administration violating the US Constitution and federal laws.

They will not stop trying to do this. We have to continue to stand in the breach. We have no choice.

Abrego Garcia is the test case. @timothysnyder.bsky.social is 1000% correct here.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Exactly.

“Trump threatens Harvard's tax-exempt status after university refuses to cave to administration's demands” 4/15/25 www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NYMAG: A Warner Bros. rep “recently reached out to the Trump orbit seeking advice about how the company might advantageously interact with the White House.. The reported message was .. Don Jr. might like a hunting and fishing show on the Discovery Channel ..” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

Another Federal Judge, U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani, stood up to Trump🔥 She blocked his unconstitutional attempt to revoke the TPS status of over a half million migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, & Venezuela. Deep respect and admiration for these Judges💙 www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...

This is what judges should be doing right now. If the Trump administration is going to insist that it can’t bring back anyone once they’re removed, then federal judges should put the brakes on any and all removals until the *full* legal process—to ensure the removals are valid—has run its course.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

The Trump Bukele dictator bromance is in full swing.

A reminder that Donald Trump caused bankruptcies of farmers to skyrocket during his first term, even with his bailouts which totaled more than $28 billion. He's in the process of doing it again with his absurd tariffs and trade war with China, that Biden had nothing to do with.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

“America hates two things: soccer and kindness.“ – Jason Sedakis

Fascist AF.

Who agrees?

The kind of zealous representation we want to see.

I have a hard time understanding how the super alpha former Secret Service Agent and NRA talking head needs 20 agents to protect him. What a ridiculous waste of law enforcement assets.

This...you cannot deport people without process. Unanimous decision by Supreme Court. What does MSM media report? Some procedural piece. MSM are helping continue all the bad that is happening.

Trump’s former FDA Director says he has “deep concerns” about RFKJr’s intentions re: childhood vaccines *** [W]e’re at a tipping point, we're going to start to see epidemics of diseases that have long been vanquished, & God forbid we see polio reemerge in this country.“ (Rest of clip in post 2) 1/

This all alone is an open-and-shut cause for impeachment, yes there are dozens of others but sometimes it's clarifying to just look at one

He’s literally going to kill us. Our system was not created for one man to have this much power. The Republican Congress needs to get it the fuck together and stop this insanity.
