So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Good luck and all the very best today to all our USA friends, family, and loved ones marching on No Kings Day. You're part of history. Stay safe, take water and snacks, no biometrics on your phone, no weapons beyond your voice. Keep it peaceful. #Solidarity from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

He’s messed up so bad the boss wants him back working in the office within murdering distance. Musk already sent sensitive data to an IP in Russia as soon as he bypassed govt control systems. All of the backdoors he asked them to put in place in our IT networks.... www.newsweek.com/russia-offer...

I need to make some stickers of this for when I'm walking around.

Trump has driven the economy to the brink of disaster, slashing jobs in every sector, disrupting global trade, losing our Aaa credit rating (!!), gutting tax receipts and exploding the deficit If ever there was a trifecta of mismanagement, this is it

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Reagan/Bush over-deregulation caused the massive S&L crisis. Clinton cleaned things up Bush II over-deregulation caused the CMBS blowout, Obama had to fix it Trump totally botched Covid response, Biden led the recovery Trump blows up global trade... Pattern? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The government is now spending more, day to day, than was spent in nine of the last 10 years. The exception: 2021, when the government was spending trillions to fight the coronavirus pandemic and prevent an economic disaster. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-p...

Great job #trump, you're on track to match the economic performance of... GERALD f**king FORD! 1974 for those that need a history refresher

He may be gone but that remote access or his staff in those departments are still very much active. This is all about optics, he's still just as much a threat as before. Until a clean sweep of those systems is completed, they are 100% compromised. www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-ha...

No way I'm handing the reigns of government & economy to Canada's #conservatives - they are hewing Way Too Close to His Trumpiness to be trusted with anything I did biz in the US- disastrous economic moves An economic technocrat at the helm is our best chance at stability & security #Carney 🇨🇦

pandemic economic conditions but without dems in congress to force economic stimulus down Trump's throat. Instead we'll get tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy that won't stimulate consumer spending but will keep interest rates high by increasing debt

The MS-13 claim comes from a 2019 police report citing an unnamed informant and Abrego’s Bulls cap. It didn’t hold up; he was protected from deportation by a Trump-appointed judge with an above-average denial rate. The cop was later indicted, pleaded guilty to misconduct and fired wapo.st/3YASCze

Also, a reminder: My Signal is kateknibbs.09 and I am looking to speak with federal employees/contractors about direct experiences with DOGE, and I'm *also* specifically looking to hear from federal workers in the sciences/medicine about how DOGE is impacting your work. Anonymity can be granted.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

I wish all judges had this much courage: "Senior US District Judge David Ezra, a Reagan appointee, called out a GOP Rep. for threatening to impeach judges. 'Do I think what I’ve said today may well cause ... a declaration of impeachment against me? Maybe. Bring it on. I’m more than happy.'"

Is this what MAGA wanted?? nobody else did...

One month ago, Ukraine agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire in the U.S.-mediated talks in Jeddah, and Russia did not. Russian attacks on Ukraine have killed over 160 civilians in March alone.

It is sad to think we live in a world with people who think like the worst in George Orwell's "1984", but we do. Which is why we must fight, continuously, like our livelihoods - and lives - depend on it! www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

So, #Trump simultaneously abandons the law, morality and ideas of balancing the budget all at once - a trifecta www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

#putin should feel Humiliated losing 28 warships (incl the #Moskva), a submarine (!!), 700 aircraft and over 10,000 tanks! He should be deposed for losing almost 1,000,000 soldiers! For the sake of the world, #PutinMustFall

This was VERY predictable - recessions cause dislocations, and the only ones who make out well are those with money to deploy when times are bad - the rich, and people who suck up to the rich

Pete #WhiskeyLeaks Hegseth says what?

#Greenlanders just don't like #hillbillies #fuckoffJD

A legal resident of New Hampshire was “violently interrogated” for hours, stripped naked, and forced into a cold shower. Given little food or water and prevented from taking medication, he collapsed and was hospitalized.

"It is outrageous and it is a leadership failure and that’s why Secretary Hegseth, who undoubtedly transmitted classified sensitive operational information via this chain, must resign immediately."

With its spotlight on the ‘manosphere’, Adolescence begs the question: how do we raise good men? | Michael Flood

Last Thursday, U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ordered that Georgetown fellow Badar Khan Suri couldn't be deported from the U.S. unless and until the court issued an order allowing it.

“This is an Administration that does not have to slip on a Signal banana peel to reveal its deepest-held prejudices and its painful incapacities.” David Remnick writes about Signalgate—and the threat of autocracy that hides in plain sight.

The orange whack job in the White House thinks Babbit was “holding back the crowd “ while she was being warned to stop breaking into Congress. This is how fascists rewrite history.

True fascism...

If we have lost Due Process, we Must resist

Funding your local fascists across Europe.

#maga voted for state #thuggery & #corruption... #maga = corrupt fascism Their chosen leaders are also blindingly incompetent - destroying our economy, military preparedness & global cred It shows why politics should be boring & technocratic, best chance for ordinary people to survive & thrive
