we must find a way to band together and defend each other from them.

IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

Oh. So Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” doesn’t include no tax on Social Security like Donald Trump promised? Color me not shocked.

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

“Waaaaah…I don’t care if it’s a bribe. I WANT MY PLANE! Waaaaah 😭😭😭”

Growing up in the '70s I'd read about strongman rulers in far-off places like Asia or Africa who had billion-dollar Swiss bank accounts and mansions in the French Riviera while their citizens were mired in poverty, and wondered how that could be allowed to happen Now I know

Morbidly curious if Iran could come up with a gift to Trump big enough to get him to “it’s fine if they have nukes. Big deal.”

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory I'm reminded of the U.S. embassy in Moscow that was built in the early 1980s using Soviet workers and materials. The Soviets embedded bugs right into the bricks. The building was a giant microphone. The bugging was so extensive, parts of it had to be torn down.

As we begin another week, my law firm is litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. Democracy remains on the docket.

The worst seat at any bar in America is one next to Ronny Jackson.

I keep saying that them arresting Baraka is a sign of their weakness and fear not their strength and power. And we still need to show up and do the work! If we don’t we won’t beat them! But if we do then we CAN beat them

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

This right here......

There is no bottom with Trump and these racists scum! I have no words!

Trump wants to do away with this - Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal principle ensuring that individuals detained by the state can be brought before a court to determine the legality of their imprisonment. It's a crucial safeguard against unlawful detention, allowing for the court to decide.

Is it possible that this orange idiot could become an even bigger asshole?

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

“The controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.” $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...

John Prevost, the brother of Robert Prevost, was in "disbelief" when he saw his younger brother be named Pope Leo XIV. He said he expects Leo to be a “second Pope Francis" who will have "great concern for the plight of the poor, for the downtrodden, for people who don't have a voice."

🚨NEWS: A judge has ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk — the Tufts student illegally abducted and detained for exercising her First Amendment rights, saying "there is no evidence" she did anything wrong. This is a victory for the rule of law. These baseless abductions must STOP NOW.

Oops.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Wait til they hear about some of the stuff Jesus said

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

We are living in the dumbest timeline

Loving Greece. The EU is wonderful. America is a wreck. When I admit I’m from the US, I offer apologies. All are flabbergasted that the US has committed the greatest own goal of all time! Suicide of a much overrated country, now an eternal enigma in the annals of stupidity. Ich bin ein Athener

Fact.....

The US Embassy in Stockholm threatened the city that any contractors fire their DEI employees. Stockholm blew them off: “If the U.S.A. terminates its acquaintance with the City Planning Office, the embassy will have a hard time with building permits." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Wait until I tell my husband we have to pay to add on another bathroom to our house bc Nancy Mace says Biology means we can’t share a bathroom. 🙄

Boom.......

It's come to this.

"If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment." -Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve

"Just heard about it....They've been fighting for many years, many decades actually... I just hope it ends quickly." Donald Trump on India-Pakistan being on the brink of war... Do we feel safe yet?

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

NEW: In the Mahmoud Khalil case, Judge Farbiarz orders the government to give him a COMPLETE LIST of every time since 1975 it has invoked the secretary of state's power to deport someone for foreign-policy reasons—including a description of each case's facts and a copy of the official determination.
