Some great advice on protesting

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

Overheard in the group chat: William Henry Harrison had a better first 100 days, and he spent 70 of them dead.

LET'S SHARE THE CRAP OUT OF THIS!

BREAKING: This is unusual trading by a politician. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir, $PLTR, on April 8th. On April 17th, Palantir, $PLTR, was awarded a government contract with ICE to develop ImmigrationOs. Marjorie sits on the Homeland Security Committee. Palantir is up nearly 50% since.

A Horrible Truth That Shouldn’t Be….

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

I'd rather starve.

Lufy, the viral dog who took over the world, has been adopted! His rescue posted a series of photos of him last month to help him find a forever home, and he captured the hearts of everyone on the internet. Lufy has officially been adopted by a wonderful family committed to his care. 14/10 for all

Happy birthday Tim Curry, here he is saying space like nobody else could for a Command and Conquer advert #TimCurry

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Good news. The American empire is falling. Bad news. I’m an American

Ever see a #Schnauzer smile?

This kind of stuff should be hammered on X everyday

Louder for the people in the back: If only citizens get due process, NOBODY gets due process. Because then all they have to say is that you’re not a citizen, and you have no right to due process to prove them wrong — even if it’s a lie.

45 years ago on April 5, 1980, the band played their first show at friend Kathleen O'Brien's birthday party. Sandra Lee Phipps took these photos that historic night in Athens at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Oconee Street.

Who did this?

America just shot itself in the nuts to “own the libs”

Here are my Top 10 WORST Dogs!

The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because he’s now in Salvadoran custody.

The “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king. That’s it. Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.

The lack of specifics is alarming.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

What an amazing string of coincidences that all these Republican officials keep getting exposed as pedophiles. What are the odds?!

I keep thinking about @sarahkendzior.bsky.social : "They don't mind being caught, they mind being punished. Learn the difference. Trump and his backers have been committing crimes with impunity for decades." Suffering no consequences is part of flexing their power. It reveals their collaborators.

Still relevant as ever

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Holy shit

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

If the word "inclusion" makes your ass mad, I'm sorry for you. Go relearn that shit at your nearest Kindergarten, if it hasn't already been defunded and whatnot.
