The 50 Best brand, behind all sorts of world-spanning culinary lists, just unveiled its 51 to 100 ranking of best bars in North America. Honolulu's Bar Leather Apron makes #73! 🤙🏾

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

The DOGE employees, who are effectively led by White House adviser and billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk, appeared to set their sights on accessing the NLRB's internal systems, removing sensitive data and covering their tracks.

72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), "who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and 'fight harder'," rather than leaders who are willing to "compromise" with President Donald Trump.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

"Trump is not a dictator or a king. He's a president and a president must follow the Supreme Court's ruling. If he does not, he must be removed from power. It's that simple."

Trumpworld claims Kilmar Abrego Garcia was in MS-13. But new information concerning the local cop who attested to that charge at the time raises fresh questions about it.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

‘When academics fear travelling or partnering with US institutions, the impacts ripple through the entire global knowledge ecosystem,’ one says

"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

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

@schatz.bsky.social Hawaiʻi next?

"I think it's only a matter of time before [a state attorney general] figures out how to file state kidnapping charges against those that are abducting people who are in the country legally..." says former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

🏆 @rollingstone.com wins the Headline of the Day Award This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Of course it is. TB on the rise. How's your vaccination status?: TB, MMR, Polio, Covid, etc. Time to wise up folks!

Princeton, then Harvard. Courage is contagious.

TRS is characterized by persistent feelings of deep discomfort when driving a Tesla. Only to find that the CEO is a fascist megalomaniac out to destroy the US government and sell it for parts, then enrich himself with contracts to do some of the same work.

Reducing Medicaid services: "These are services they need every day to bathe themselves, dress themselves, get themselves to the kitchen." Cuts could lead to hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and in some cases early death.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

"Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game. You have admitted the principle that some people have more rights than others...All you can do is to hope that the dictator and his henchmen overlook you."

There will be polio cases before the end of the year

Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...

There we go. Support this man.

As Trump Dismantles the Republic, Where Are Its Former Leaders?

Attempted assassination is accurate. We all know who's MO this akin. Waiting for that to drop.

We’re seeing now, for the first time in Trump 2, the limitations of propaganda, of drinking your own Kool-Aid.

I love it when you find an author you love and they have the grace to have published several books so you're not going to run out of their work any time soon. Thank you authors 🙏

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

The most dangerous gang in America. DT-47.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

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.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

Now, time to talk about Donnie Dementia?

🎉 Happy Anniversary Murmur! The band’s debut album was released 42 years ago this weekend in 1983… as always, share your favorite track in the comments.

When clueless and incompetent are deadly. White guy cosplay has its costs.

Torn between the urgency of the moment and the spiritual toll of relentless, often fruitless resistance.

What DOGE is really doing is burrowing into Americans’ data.
