Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

🚨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.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Today's vocabulary lesson

Congress is on recess (vacation) until April 27th - I'm sure they're all very concerned about Trump's tyrannical actions from their yachts, private planes, fifth mansions, personal islands or those owned by their corporate donors or foreign government officials who helped install them into power.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Trump is denying due process to foreign nationals here legally before ripping them from their families and deporting them. Do we really believe this regime will follow any sort of due process for American citizens before Trump tries to deport them? Call it what it is: fascism.

It's another day of war. Everyone keeps moving forward, because what choice do we have? Today, we’re all just a little quieter, sadness lingers on our faces. Even the clouds seem heavier, their gloom reflecting our own. Happy Monday world, please keep supporting Ukraine! 🇺🇦

World leaders have responded to russia's brutal attack on Sumy, condemning the aggressive act, expressing their condolences, and calling for increased pressure on the terrorist state. We thank them for their support. #StandWithUkraine

If you see an atrocity and your reaction is “what about [insert separate unrelated atrocity], you don’t seem clever or informed, it’s disgusting.

A missile with cluster munitions — used deliberately to kill as many civilians as possible. The strike on the city of Sumy was a conscious attack on civilians, says Head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

🌊🛳️ Exactly 3 years ago, the cruiser Moskva was attacked by Neptune missiles.

This part

We are faced with a life-or-death logic problem – Axiom: Russia's war can only end by defeating Russia Supposition: Russia cannot be defeated Conclusion: Russia's war will never end But we know that all empires fall. Russia can be defeated. We must unite and fight for victory.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

😢 Zelensky: Sumy. The world must respond firmly. The US, Europe, everyone in the world who wants this war and these killings to end. Russia wants exactly this kind of terror and is dragging this war out. Without pressure on Russia, peace is impossible.

This is an absolute nightmare. In Sumy, following a strike by terrorists from the Russian Federation, there are already 83 injured and dozens of civilians killed. The Kremlin butcher openly mocks the notion of “negotiations” and continues his genocide of the Ukrainian people.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

@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."

We can make this change Canada Can #Canada grow more of its own food? Greenhouses, vertical farming make it possible, experts say U.S. supplies 67 per cent of Canada’s vegetable imports and 36 per cent of its fruit imports www.cbc.ca/radio/costof...

🇹🇷 Turkey will only regain its freedom by ending Sultan Erdogan's rule ! Freedom for Turkey !

When war crimes go unanswered, and handshakes with smiles replace consequences, the message is clear: kill more — we allow it.

Sumy vs Saint Petersburg

Bay Street bankers are sweating Mark Carney’s rise. Why? Back in ’08, when U.S. banks tanked on risky loans and shady deals, Carney tightened the screws on banks, kept lending in check, and made damn sure their execs didn’t drown in bonuses while the economy burned. #cdnpoli

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.
