Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Ohio showed up. #3E #EndImpunity #MayDay

WATCH — Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social @andybeshearpodcast.bsky.social : “These mass firings are making us less safe… there’s nothing wrong with wanting to fix the federal government, but what we’re seeing now is an attempt to break it. And that’s in my Kentucky accent.”

“The fact that Dems & my colleague even feel the need to introduce an amendment that says ICE cannot deport US citizens is batshit crazy. This should not even be a discussion. US CITIZENS CANNOT BE DEPORTED BY ICE.”—Ted Lieu

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

BREAKING Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading? IT'S HAPPENING. James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

Our economy can't take another 100 days of Trump's tariff taxes.   I voted today to end these disastrous tariffs. Too many Republicans in Congress are willing to stand by Trump instead of working families.

Senate Democrats are holding the floor ALL NIGHT to protest 100 days of cruelty, chaos & Trumpian collapse. While most media yawns, Rachel Maddow is shining a light—because truth still matters. This is what resistance looks like. LFG for the Senate Dems 👏🏻 (and Rachel!) @maddow.msnbc.com

It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

The International Pride Orchestra has rescheduled a Pride concert at Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland after it was canceled by the Kennedy Center. The concert will also feature the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C. bethesdamagazine.com/2025/04/28/s...

"Time to stop thinking we can reason or negotiate with a madman,” Gov. Pritzker said. "Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now." open.substack.com/pub/america/...

"I was struck by how dark money and gerrymandering undermined voters’ will in the wake of a 2010 Supreme Court case that opened the door for unlimited corporate spending on political campaigns, subject to few conditions." -Kathiann Kowalski, reporter ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/04/29/o...

You are either for democracy or you’re not. If you’re not, get out of my way. Thanks @joycewhitevance.bsky.social for an amazing conversation tonight. (If you’re interested in hearing more, please subscribe to my Substack: katiephang.substack.com)

We made a promise to our service members that we’d care for them when they came home, and that promise is now being broken by the Trump administration. I know my colleagues across the aisle aren’t comfortable with this. I urge you to call them and share your stories ☎️.

"We have an FBI director who received $25,000 for appearing in a film, executive producing a film, made by a Ukrainian-American-Russian who worked on a propaganda project that was financed, in part, by Vladimir Putin's office." "Why this isn't a bigger story, I don't know."

…

Succinctly stated.

If you think you can rely on elected Democrats alone and you don’t need to take to the streets to say you’ve had enough with Republican recklessness, rejection of due process and tyranny, you’re not paying attention.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

@schumer.senate.gov this is sooo weak. Just step aside if you won’t lead. Another “strongly worded letter”??? You’re dealing with a MAD MAN! pathetic.

JUST NOW: Leader Jeffries, Senator Coons, and Senator Booker sat on the Capitol steps, watched the sunrise, and talked about the budget fight. This is what we need—bringing people in and speaking plain truth. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @coons.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

The Trump admin is ripping families apart - tearing babies from mothers. Heidy SĂĄnchez, with no criminal record, a sick 1-year-old, and a U.S. citizen husband, was deported to Cuba despite doing everything right. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I have a blog post ready. It's here: terikanefield.com/your-brain-o... When the Guardian, the Telegraph, and @jenmercieca.bsky.social recommended The Ideological Brain by Leor Zmigrod, I figured I should get a copy and read it. So I did. I'll start with a 2 picture summary of the book ⤵️ 1/

Sen Chris Murphy is out here doing the hard work—town halls, tough questions, real talk. Trump wasn’t serious about lowering your costs. He was serious about becoming a dictator. Murphy’s telling the truth. It’s time we all listen & fight like hell to save democracy💪🏼✊🏾👊 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

•INSPIRING AMERICA• A man stood outside the courthouse of Judge Hannah Dugan and spoke of the horrors that befell his family in Poland and Germany at the hands of the Nazis during WWII — and how we must fight to stop and eradicate fascism in America NOW. “We know what fascism looks like…

With Trump trying to get rid of ActBlue, it’s clear he’s trying to turn America into Russia

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

Who else AGREES with Pedro?! 🤚

ABBY PHILLIP: “Scott, you keep repeating something nobody ever said. No one said Trump can't have an opinion. The Q is, should the fed act based on it? Trump is not an economist. And as far as I can tell, he does not even have a good grasp on how trade works.” 🎯

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Alright y’all—early voting starts TODAY in Texas! Make your voice heard in local elections that impact our schools, streets, and everyday lives. Find your polling place or more information at votetexas.gov

There will come a day when folks realize that the 2016 election was stolen, as was the 2024 election. That sounds crazy to say now, conspiracy stuff… but just wait. Hell, bookmark this. Different methods were used for each, but it will come out. Then we are gonna have ourselves a real mess.

I’m honored to be named Advocate of the Year for the 29th Annual Webbys! Every day, I fight to make sure our communities are seen, heard, and protected—so to be recognized for that work at the Webbys means the world. Follow along on Monday, May 12 at #Webbys.

Biden tried to forgive student debt. The GOP successfully sued to stop it. And here we are. apnews.com/article/stud...

Women and girls are literally under attack and the narrative that men and boys are struggling in comparison to them is part of that attack. Their “struggle” as it’s so often harped on is that women and girls aren’t just bending the knee to them in all spheres of life

Trump's Dubai hotel was built by trafficked and enslaved people, their passports were taken away and made to live in squalor. He says he is not involved in this or knows about it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBBk...

WTF?!

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis
