I’m reading this book now and it’s hard not to be enraged. While the Trump Administration is galloping towards fascism and arguing to end birthright citizenship, corporate media remain complicit cowards by focusing on Joe Biden’s age. The book isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. #OriginalSin

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social always asking the right questions. Fighting the righteous fights.

www.newsweek.com/california-i... Gestapo like ICE agents dressed like commandos with machine guns in America streets…horrific…proud of the people standing up against them and chanting shame. We all need to show our outrage

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

I’d be suing so many people if I were @kamalaharris.com

Now and then, I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy, you could die I told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

Can confirm.

Oh well. Time for those Bankruptcies Trump uses to get out of paying his debts. #StudentLoans

JUST NOW: AOC roasts the GOP for their bill to gut Medicaid: “The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?”

People storming the Rayburn building to protest during the #Medicaid cuts hearing warms my heart for Democracy.

National Park Service reportedly to be hit with 1500 additional layoffs and deep budget cuts. The Grand Canyon contributes $768 million annually to local communities. Our public lands are our most precious resource and DJT and DOGE want to sell off our inheritance.

After his release from custody, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka stood before a crowd of supporters and didn’t hold back—declaring that Republicans who refuse to protect immigrants have a "special place in hell." No sugarcoating. Just unfiltered truth. The fight is far from over 🗣️👏🏽✊🏽

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

I wish I could be loved exactly as I am.

Hope it makes it to air!!

WATCH: Rolling Stone reports that even members of the Trump administration are hoarding food, household supplies, and cash over fears about the impact of the president’s trade war. One Trump aide explained to Rolling Stone: “Because it would be stupid not to!”

The US has pulled out of formal peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. So much for ending the war on day one. Another Trump Fail.

All people are entitled to due process in any functional democracy. That the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel's on social media is indicative of the true goal of this action - to intimidate other judges into complying with this admin’s authoritarian goals.

DOGE cuts will kill people because of their recklessness toward basic public health regulations. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Time to cancel @paramountplusbr.bsky.social and boycott @cbsnews.com. They bend the knee, I turn off my TV

Latinos are human beings. Latinos deserve due process. #immigration

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

I’m throwin' caution, what's it gonna be? Tonight the winds of change are blowin' wild and free If I don't get out, out of this town I just might be the one who finally burns it down

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Mike Johnson is, himself, on #Medicaid. #USPolitics

Sanders: You know why we have all these great musicians here today? We're going to make our revolution with joy. We're going to sing and dance our way to victory against hatred and divisiveness.

The teenage queen, the loaded gun The drop dead dream, the Chosen One A southern drawl, a world unseen A city wall and a trampoline Oh well, I don't mind if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you jump Tell me what you find Can you read my mind?

They will cut Medicaid. They will cut Social Security. #USPolitics www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

Out where the dreams all hide Out where the wind don't blow Out here the good girls die
