I’ll never not be devastated that after nearly 250 years of democracy, this country chose fascist right-wing authoritarian dystopia instead of electing the highly competent, joyful woman who would’ve championed middle-class prosperity. 😢 She/her. No DMs.

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

Thanks, Steve. The brutal reality, tragically, is that Senate Democrats under Schumer or a crushing disappointment. They are sending the signal that this is not materially different than the first Trump term. Democracy is crumbling while they fiddle. There are exceptions, but not very many.

I tell this story because I want you to know that these things can happen. My grandfather worked in the media & was jailed by an authoritarian regime. Can it happen here? Yes! Trump wouldn't hesitate. So if you're in the media stop ignoring Abrego Garcia's story because you might just be next.

Amidst all of the horrors of the Trump administration, one stands above the rest: the trafficking of 270 men to El Salvador's CECOT prison. Here is the definition of concentration camp from the Encyclopedia Britannica.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

Students attending DoD schools across the world just walked out of class in a brave protest against the Trump Administration's Orwellian censorship regime. Instead of removing books from the shelves about America’s history and constitutional values, Secretary Hegseth should try reading them.

"My sense is that over time, those numbers will need to triple or quadruple, and be coupled with more marches and a demand for very specific concessions." Is "Stop killing seniors" specific enough?

A play in two acts.

"If the government can disappear any people it wishes, dump them in a Salvadoran dungeon and prevent any court in this country from providing relief, we all should be very, very afraid."

OPINION by @stevebenen.com: “This is a fiasco for the ages, and it’s difficult to say when, or if, the United States’ standing will recover.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

Dear media, STOP CALLING THEM RECIPROCAL. THEY ARE UNILATERAL TAXES ON AMERICANS. ~ Everyone

This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world. It’s an economic war against working class America.

Stock Market News: Dow Recoups Some April Losses After Trump Market Manipulation. (These news outlets should hire me to write honest headlines.)

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

Stocks rose after Trump partially pulled back on tariffs, recovering most of the losses his tariff announcement caused, but bonds did not. US Treasuries calmed after Trump pulled back, but didn't recover recent losses. The global loss of trust in the US, and the safety of US assets, remains.

the jamelle bouie secret to presciently anticipating the behavior of the president is to just ask myself what a dumbass bully would do

BREAKING: I just called for unanimous consent to pass a simple resolution to condemn Donald Trump and Elon Musk firing thousands of Veterans—and demand that they give our heroes their jobs back. Republicans blocked it.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Enjoying the jokes about Jesse Watters! But I think people would get even more out of this if they read past headlines. The entire MAGA meltdown over "Gen Z boss in a mini" is well worth the 2 minutes it will cost you. You deserve this laugh.

Democrats gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA. The GOP gave us the Great Depression, the Great Recession, the Jan 6 terrorist attack and people dying of measles.

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

😕🇺🇸

So, is the mainstream media really just done talking about that time our Secretary of Defense drunk texted war plans to a journalist?

I believe the tariffs historically will be seen as a tactical diversion from the ethnic cleansing happening in America.

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

This is what they're doing to Dr. Badar Khan Suri. This is not my America, and the world is aghast.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Opinion | I like fascism. I also like my 401(k). I have never felt more politically homeless.

We are making a difference. We have an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to democracy and the rule of law. On April 19th we rise up again. We will be peaceful but loud. Let freedom ring! open.substack.com/pub/america/...
