MAGA is done with Pope Leo.. And is somehow confirming that they are anti poor, anti immigrants, anti humanity.. - these things, they say, “come with the job” for the Pope, “but he would need to be careful about all that”

The party of family values doesn’t care if more kids kill thenselves. Horrifying.

Wow! California is now the 4th largest economy in the world, surpassing Japan! abc7news.com/post/califor...

Just keep in mind: The day will come when America is no longer held hostage by a sociopath, a convicted felon, an arsonist and a vengeful, narcissistic sadist who revels in the pain and suffering of others and builds his fortune on the ruins of public liberty. May it come soon.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Don't look away!! "If citizens endorse the idea that people named by authorities as "criminals" or "terrorists" have no right to due process, then they are accepting that they themselves have no right to due process."

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

The North American Building Trade Unions are calling for the return of their member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who is the victim of human trafficking by our government.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

If you haven’t seen this, you need to! Trump is short-selling America—deliberately tanking the economy so that businesses and entire industries bend the knee and beg him to save them. Thanks, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, for sounding the alarm. Now, what is Congress going to do about it?

I spent the morning in D.C. with a bunch of very rich people at a fancy hotel. What they wanted isn't what you might expect: davelevinthal.substack.com/p/battling-t...

Billionaire investor and major Trump supporter Bill Ackman: “We are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital…” “We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter..” Much more in screenshots.

Talk about criminal

Newsom: The world we’ve come to know—and some of us revere and love. The country. All of that is now at risk because of the recklessness—and there’s no other way to describe it—of one individual: the President of the United States.

It’s a fire sale…

Remember, Benny was paid by Russia to say that. Talk about a real traitor!

The AHA has released a statement condemning the evisceration of the National Endowment for the Humanities. “This frontal attack on the nation’s public culture is unpatriotic, anti-American, and unjustified.” 🗃️

They defunded schools at the same time they rolled back child labor laws…

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Who did this?

It only makes sense if you realize that none of this is meant to help our country. It is done in service to Putin and the oligarchs.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

Booker, just minutes away from the speaking record: "This is when the most precious ideas of our country are being tested, where the Constitution and the question is being called -- Where does the constitution live? On paper? Or in our hearts? This is the moment."

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Amen, Sister!

"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so....red & yellow, black & white, Jesus loves!" EVERYONE!

‘For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law’ meanwhile January 6 insurrectionists who brutalized Capitol piece roam free

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

I want what they have

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.
