Had my first direct encounter with ICE agents staking someone out today and it was a lot like shooing rodents out of the garbage. Shine a light, make some noise, watch them scurry. 10/10 highly recommend.

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

We are living in Bizarro World.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Who else AGREES with David?! 🤚 One. Of. The. Good. Guys. 😎✨

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

There we go. Support this man.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

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.

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.

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Fox News:

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social -- Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes. They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured. Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.

If there's just God, Tom Homan and Kristi Noem are going to the Hague.

Share if you care!

“…destroy my influence” = tacit acknowledgment he has acquired the government. “…push negative propaganda about me” = they keep pointing out the stuff I say and do. “They are evil” - anyone who opposes an oligarchy is evil.

Everything Joe Rogan says is wrong. He’s a fount of misinformation and tomfoolery. Why do so many men listen to him? I’m at a loss.

How to successfully navigate Trumpian politics, ask, ‘is this a distraction to take away from corruption?’ And then look for the trail of money, or the grab for power.

Horrific

Presented with evidence that innocent people who are not members of any gang were wrongly deported to a slave prison in El Salvador, Homan flatly insists that all of them were in fact gang members (but he's unwilling to detail any evidence showing it)

Fuck Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to hell. Goddamn bastards, both of them.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic. RFK Jr can go fuck himself.

Howard Lutnick opined that missing a Social Security check for a month is no big deal and only someone committing fraud would complain. His remarks are the latest in a series of Trump administration moves showing a lack of concern for how vital these checks are to many Americans' survival. #Resist

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

Something special is happening! Bless these people!

Shame on you Bill Maher. If you stand with our democracy, you would never sit down with Trump. And fuck you Bill Maher for taking a cheap shot at Zelensky. Zelensky is a hero. www.thedailybeast.com/bill-maher-r...

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.
