Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

This is the completely foreseeable consequence of being a credulous nation that makes medical decision based on politics/capitalism instead of science.

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.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

New: Pete Hegseth shared sensitive information about military strikes to another Signal group chat that included his wife and brother.

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

UPDATE: Authorities are investigating a shooting at Florida State University that killed two people and wounded six others. The suspect is hospitalized and is the son of a Leon County sheriff's deputy.

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

as we keep getting reports like this, it's still unclear how many Americans are affected because DHS has not provided numbers on citizens detained by immigration authorities and isn't answering Congressional inquiries about them www.propublica.org/article/more...

PAY TO STAY SCAM!!!! The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Extremely good interview from @metrauxjulia.bsky.social. "He’s the antithesis of creativity. I’ve never seen his book of collected poems. Who are you to tell us that we can’t write poetry?" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Republican Senator Murkowski on threat of Trump retaliation: 'We are all afraid' reut.rs/4ipHD2x

NEW: I've read a lot of court documents in my time, but this is one of my new favorites. How a Judge tells a President to F**k Off. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-a-judg...

“The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of FOUR YEARS…” — US Constitution Article II, Section 1 “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than TWICE…” — 22nd Amendment

Trump again refuses to answer questions about Abrego Garcia, referring reporters to his lawyers

When Rep. Adriano Espaillat began to see reports of Puerto Ricans and other citizens being questioned and arrested by ICE agents, he demanded answers from the Trump administration. That was more than 10 weeks ago. He has not received a response. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

The importance of @harvard.edu standing up to Trump yesterday is as example for other universities. fallows.substack.com/p/standing-u... Good to see Stanford signing on today stanforddaily.com/2025/04/15/l... Princeton led the way among old, established universities. Where is Yale?

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

1. He was in the U.S. legally. 2. A fed court ruled that he CANNOT be deported. 3. Trump defied the court & deported him to an El Salvador prison. 4. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Trump must bring him back to the U.S. 5. Trump said no. Are we a nation of laws or not? What say u America?

Just disgusting. All of them. Garcia is not a terrorist. Innocent people were put in that El Salvador prison. What a disgrace Trump is turning America into.

If what Trump said in the Oval Office today doesn’t send a chill up your spine, then you’ve forgotten what America is.

Because Donald Trump is a Russian asset, the United States is not on the side of the free world.

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

At this point, Judge Xinis should order the immediate return under threat of contempt and let the Supreme Court tell the Administration otherwise.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

We need ideas like this. We've got to put all constructive thoughts out there, long odds or not. If we don't, we guarantee they won't materialize. So thanks @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. Maybe this'll get a few Republicans thinking harder about history than their next election.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

More serious point abt today's White House event. Bukele is actively and publicly conspiring to violate American domestic law and orders of American courts. Trump won't be in power forever. The next Democratic administration won't be like the last one.

"if Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release,” said Senator Van Hollen www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

There will be polio cases before the end of the year

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

There we go. Support this man.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Congratulations to John Roberts for enabling *two* heads of state to mock you openly.

The censorship on Twitter was just too much. A 98% drop in engagement since Musk bought it. From a little over 1,000,000 views a week to less than 17,000. So we moved on over to blue sky. Follow us here at @altyellonatpark.org Because somebody somewhere Needs flowers tonight
