The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

Last year Trump had dinner with antisemite Kanye West and neonazi Nick Fuentes Then questioned whether Schumer is actually Jewish Recently Steve Bannon also gave a Nazi salute And Elise Stefanik endorsed a candidate who praised Hitler For Republicans antisemitism isn’t a bug It’s a feature

Kudos to the law firm Arnold & Porter. It is the largest law firm that is not either itself target by Trump or representing a firm targeted by Trump to sign the amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie. Put another way, A&P has no direct financial interest in the outcome of the case and yet signed.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

Dear Representative Pressley: Thank you for noticing this. However, please don’t portray it as a unique wrong done to this person. The American penal system (and immigration system) are deathtraps with appalling lack of medical care, indifference, and cruelty. /1

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Today seems like a good day to remind people that Trump gets his advice on tariffs from White House trade advisor Peter Navarro, a 75-yr-old man the Wall Street Journal once called "Trump's Looniest Economic Advisor." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Well there’s 188k of you here now so let me introduce myself again. I’m Santiago Mayer, I’m 23 years old and the Executive Director of @votersoftomorrow.org. I have spent the last 6 years working to turn out Gen Z and stop MAGA, and I’m not stopping now. Can you RT and follow to help reach others?

Stellantis says will temporarily lay off 900 U.S. workers following tariff announcement. Stellantis NV, maker of Ram trucks and Jeeps, said on Thursday it was temporarily laying off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities after Trump's tariffs were announced. #MomSky www.reuters.com/business/aut...

China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Despite dubbing himself the “Father of IVF,” Donald Trump actually WILL NOT be funding federal infertility research. Trump has fired an entire infertility research team at the CDC.

Today, a study suggests that the shingles vaccine—the current one—makes you less likely to get dementia. In surprisingly notable ways. Can’t vouch for it. At all. But consider getting it. Especially if you’ve had chicken pox. I did in the last few months. It takes two appointments.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs: Russia Belarus North Korea Cuba They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.

As the administration continues to shutter vaccine sites and lay off cancer researchers, Trump has spent $40 million to hold migrants at Gitmo for the last month. Currently, there are more than 1,000 military personnel there — and 85 migrants. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

GOP Senator slips up and divulges Republicans' intentions to 'cut Medicare'

This administration is a complete and total disaster.. The worst in the history of this country by far..

‼️ Zelensky: "For several weeks now, we have had the American proposal for an unconditional ceasefire. And almost every day, in fact, in response to this proposal - Russian drones, Russian bombs, artillery shelling, ballistics."

Another reason #TeslaTakedown must continue!

Americans are going to die. The question to ask is-how many will be sacrificed before we rid ourselves of these monsters? #DemocracyWarriors www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

This is less off-brand for Skadden than for Paul Weiss, but still craven. If Skadden or Paul Weiss try to poach clients or partners from the firms who are standing up, I hope they they are called out publicly.

Ghoulish wretch is also violating the Geneva Convention self-exhibiting herself with prisoners.

If, in fact, the information in the Signal chat isn't classified in this administration it seems to me that's a huge story--why wouldn't these sorts of details that are traditionally classified not be? Do we have a larger problem with how sensitive national security is being handled?

Four US Army soldiers have been missing in Lithuania for over 24 hours and our idiot SecDef is giving speeches and enjoying some sun in Guam. 🙄

I’ve read several articles today referring to RFK Jr. or Geier as vaccine “skeptics”. I again beg the media to STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION. They are not skeptics. They are lying, grifting, unqualified frauds who are promoting a conspiracy. “Conspiracy theorists” would be much more accurate.

The fascist regime is defying the courts & throwing due process out the frigin window. This is not acceptable!

In other countries, we recognize this immediately for what it is.

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

Disappeared Tufts Human Dev. PhD student Rumesya Ozturk is also a graduate of Teachers College - she’s a dev. psychologist studying children’s media & prosocial development. She also bakes without recipes and binge-watches cartoons. She is our colleague & she was abducted on the street w/ our tax $.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

a cage full of shaved men in bunks stacked up to the ceiling is the modern day death camp. they are invoking the cruelty, the sadism, the AESTHETICS of Nazism and turning it against young Latino men. it is disgusting and it offends me in my deepest self.

I imagine I'm not the only person who sees this video and immediately flashes back to the iconic photos of people with shaved heads in Nazi concentration camp barracks stacked one on top of another. Not trying very hard to buck the charges of being kinda fashy, eh?

Rare demonstrations against Hamas, which has long repressed dissent, came amid widespread despair after Israel resumed the war in Gaza following a two-month ceasefire.

NSA sent out a bulletin last month: "A vulnerability has been identified in the Signal Messenger Application. The use of Signal by common targets of surveillance & espionage activity has made the application a high value target to intercept sensitive information." www.cbsnews.com/news/nsa-sig...

I recorded a brief podcast about the reckless Signal security breach. My tone was calm, but my words were not. This was an extraordinarily dangerous failure. Hegseth should resign or be fired, and he's not the only guilty party. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/o...

Tout this widely. The biggest danger right now is, as @dandrezner.bsky.social said yesterday, pluralistic ignorance, when “people who hold a majority opinion are unaware that it is a majority opinion”. We need to broadcast all the signs that the town halls etc are not a fluke.

Absolutely And We Need Much More Aggressive Push Back!!!

We already know this—and they also boost our GDP. This isn’t new news. It’s just news Republicans didn’t want folks to know. And they have no plan on how they’re going to make up for the lost revenue.
