And a big thank you to @schiff.senate.gov for putting a hold on the nomination and allowing this to happen.

My people...

God help us.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS East Bay” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... I can't think of a better day to protest than the day Trump is holding a military parade down the National Mall.

lol. what could go wrong. sure hope the qataris didn't leave any hidden electornics on board www.wsj.com/business/air...

open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... This should be unacceptable to all Americans. Law enforcement should not act like the SS.

These Republicans know the importance of standing with our allies. They're calling on Trump and the GOP to do the same.

theimmigrationhub.shorthandstories.com/disappeared-... A fantastic report. Look at their faces, many of these people are here legally.

In case you missed it... WIRED talked to *actual* federal auditors about how government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

If you thought Trump would spend his whole presidency playing golf, you were an optimist. @cathyyoung63.bsky.social rounds up all the damage he's done, from the J6 pardons to the trade war to choking Ukraine to outsourcing imprisonment without trial. lnk.thebulwark.com/4lPGTa3

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u... Unproven “savings” of $150 billion vs. costs of $135 billion plus $8.5 billion in 2026 revenue loss alone. Just more chaos from the mafia Don in chief.

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... Excellent post.

It’s the corruption

open.substack.com/pub/oaklandr... the Oakland mayoral race results are in. And it’s not just hills versus flats. It’s a little more nuanced than that.

Needed a drink…. Oaklanders! Goodness! Look forward to all the money Lee is going to bring in from Washington!

youtube.com/watch?v=7Z6P... My husband- still causing a ruckus- good trouble!

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

If, like me, you're incensed about Trump and his redpillionaire-powered desecration of our democracy, you'll agree that part of the blame for that ought to be laid at the feet of his enablers. One especially prominent enabler, certainly within centrist and center-right spaces, was The Free Press

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Let’s go Oakland!

“In an authoritarian regime, the opposition needs symbols and stories. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is that symbol. His abduction in front of his autistic son and imprisonment in a foreign concentration camp is that story“ www.thebulwark.com/p/bring-him-...

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... I really don’t know the difference between transferring citizens on a train to Poland vs a plane to El Salvador. “Homegrown terrorists” without due process could be any of us.

www.wired.com/story/social... sure.. makes sense since the majority of people on X are over 65.

www.wsj.com/politics/pol... Classic DJT - start a fire, put it out and say that you are a hero. He is nothing but a chaos agent.

Concentration Camps and the Deportation of American Citizens www.thebulwark.com/p/concentrat.... “If I had told you on Election Day that President Trump would have the government snatch the father of a special-needs child off the street, send him to a prison in El Salvador, …would you believe me?”

open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... “Finally, a president who’s willing to strong-arm America’s law firms into doing pro bono work for someone really deserving—the coal industry.” You can’t make this stuff up..
