Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

He said the exam showed a "good heart, a good soul, very good soul." It's also been reported that he only struggled with the square peg going in the circle hole test. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

The new White House tip line to report immigrants is bombarded with calls to arrest Musk 😆

This was on TikTok

On this Palm Sunday, I am reminded that retribution is not a Christian value. Regardless of your religious tradition, may we all find love, forgiveness, and redemption.

Some great words from J.R.R Tolkien to think about today.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Trump's too busy golfing to be worrying about this. America needs to do better.

Someone tried to burn down the Pennsylvania governor’s residence while his family slept inside. No warning. No demands. Just flames. This is not protest. This is terrorism. And if they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone.

AOC: “Donald Trump is a criminal. Convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.” More here:

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

Just unreal

This fascist regime is threatening to remove government cloud services contracts from Amazon if they don’t remove certain books from their marketplace. This is some fascist shit! youtu.be/GtEymx55dnU?...

You know what to do…👇 Pass. It. On. For. The. Loser. ✨

With Trump it's called "Shart of the Deal"

AOC is calling out colleagues for stock trades before tariffs were paused: “Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hrs should probably disclose that now … It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.” AOC is absolutely right. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/saturdays-...

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

Trump is engaging in a massive purge of public servants, so why does he want firms to offer them pro bono help? It will legal aid for Trump appointees for when the break the law (also, the firms are told to hire Trump admin alum). They are turning these law firms into Trump law firms.

This is not America. But this is trump.

horrible trump must be impeached

"I think we made the right decision" -- Tom Homan on the deportation of a Maryland dad to a gulag in El Salvador that the administration has already admitted was a mistake

So… who wins the pissing contest… stay tuned.

“Mein Kampf” (TWO copies no less) remains on the shelves, but “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” is gone. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...
