Someone said to me, "If it's nationalised we get all the money." "And if it is privatised we get hardly any." The penny is dropping.

Pathetic.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Coolest Subaru I have ever seen

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

Sanders: We’ve got a president of the United States who— Crowd: Boooo Sanders: I agree

Because you have two homes?

Eugenicists are so stupid.

BREAKING: Famed Economist Paul Krugman just told Ari Melber: "This Tariff pause is [still] a tariff rate that is higher overall than Smooth-Hawley. This is a bigger shock to the economy than any trade policy in any country’s history."

Fuck Bill Maher for not going harder on the EMOTIONAL TERRORISM Trump inflicts on millions of Americans when he pulls his outrageous stunts. I don’t care if the adjudicated rapist is nice to you and Kid Rock over dinner while threatening the freedom, security & healthcare of everyday Americans.

Genocidal maniacs. Israeli forces put Gaza’s Christian hospital out of service on Palm Sunday youtu.be/95ca8Xuyts0

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/... “A terrible Russian ballistic missile strike on Sumy… According to preliminary data, there are dozens of dead and wounded civilians,” Zelenskyy said on social media on Sunday. “And this is on a day when people go to church: Palm Sunday.” Cease fire talks? Bullshit!

Let's be perfectly clear. This is Trump sneering at due process and the US Constitution. This is ABUNDANT cause for impeachment, conviction, and removal. The survival of our rights depends on it. #ImpeachTrumpNow

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

On this day in 1873, a mob of hundreds of armed white men attacked the Grant Parish courthouse in Colfax, Louisiana, killing an estimated 150 Black people, many of whom were trying to flee.

I would rather die on my feet fighting this regime than live on my knees in submission to it. It’s that simple, we give in, they win. We fight, they can never win. #DemVoice1

🚨Israel is threatening to bomb a part of the Baptist Hospital in central Gaza City and has ordered its immediate evacuation. Journalist Anas Al-Sharif reports. (Translations by Drop Site. Original post below)

In recent weeks, the number of people travelling from Europe to the U.S has plummeted — by as much as 35%. The sharp decline in tourism is a direct response to Trump’s punishing policies — including tariffs and the horrific treatment of immigrants and foreigners.

The state is waging war on the people.

Hats off to Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills. Unlike too many others, she refuses to bow to Trump. “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness,”. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...
