IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK, SWIMS LIKE A DUCK AND QUACKS LIKE A DUCK, THEN IT PROBABLY IS A DUCK. #Trump #Maga #Epstein #GOP

BREAKING NYT: Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer. The info included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting Houthis. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Listen maggots

Macondo Week 14. Simple but powerful message. This IS the main problem in US. Has been going on for decades now. #GOP magots do not understand a thing about this.

Very creative, San Francisco! 8647 ✊

💯 this!!!

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955. It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Popok: This is not just about Abrego Garcia—and they’re right. It’s not about whether he is or isn’t MS-13. This is about the rule of law and our co-equal branches of government. This is about greater principles.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

This is some sick shit

Without due process for everyone there is no due process for anyone. When they scoop you up and don't give you a chance to prove you're a citizen before shipping you to El Salvador you are going to suddenly understand the entire fucking point.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

This video Paige and I did explaining what happened in court today is going viral. Thank you for all the nice comments and to the thousands of new subscribers. I hope you find it useful. youtu.be/5HRmolBoM_k

Shit is gonna hit the fan in 3…2…1…Chris Van Hollen denied access to El Salvador Prison 👇👇👇

"People shouldn’t be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people" -V, (Alan Moore, 1989)

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

If nothing else, Judge Boasberg‘s finding helps make a record that Judge Xinis will have available, suggesting that the government may have intentionally & purposefully engaged in contempt on more than one occasion.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Fun fact: the International Criminal Court at The Hague does NOT recognize any immunity based on official title or diplomatic status.

Autocrats always try to dismantle universities and other sites of free thought. But the current effort to destroy American institutions is also a reactionary backlash against real progress on racial justice in this country. Backlash only happens when movements are winning the argument.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

26 states have launched their own version of DOGE ⚠️ But these efforts are not really about promoting "efficiency." Republicans are simply rebranding longstanding efforts to undermine government & prioritize the wealthy at the expense of workers. www.epi.org/blog/at-leas...

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Autism is not a disease.

Todays's must read.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

So Trump wants to start shipping “homegrown criminals” to El Salvador? This is fine—if the first person sent is Donald Trump. See the newest cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social:
