We are not on the verge of authoritarian rule. WE ARE IN IT. We are living under fascism. Don’t deny the reality below. Our only choice now is are #WeThePeople and the elected officials who claim to oppose this going to rise up before it’s too late. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Terrifying.

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

People defending AI-generated “art” because AI is also used to find medical cures is like saying that smashing people’s toes with hammers should be acceptable because hammers are also used to build hospitals.

Now is a good time to remind folks of these fine tips -what to do if the Insurrection Act is invoked. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what...

Oof. Tough times ahead for Big Balls: “Some fear their association with DOGE could make them targets if the feud escalates and Trump moves to investigate the government-slashing initiative that Musk led until he stepped away last week, the sources said.” abcnews.go.com/US/trump-mus...

At least three immigrant children were taken into custody and restrained with zip ties at the San Antonio Immigration Court. The children were between the ages of 9 and 12. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

I think those people - teachers, students, school workers, and family members - should still be alive, not sure why anyone disagrees. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

This is exactly like when Musk deleted his 2018 “pedo guy” tweet.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Start Doxing ICE. This will be the only way to stop them.

#LetTheEatTariffs #WorkTilYouDrop This is the Republican vision of America

Snatched in plain sight. Congress, where are you on this? Plainclothes. No identification. Unmarked cars with everyday plates. Anyone can throw on regular clothes, flash a fake badge, and claim to be “ICE.” A reckless operation and dangerous. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

Musk deletes new Epstein post as battle with Trump continues www.rawstory.com/musk-epstein/

“Scott said, ‘You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud' ... Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage 'like a rugby player,' Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back."

“We are taking away Elon’s friends,” a senior Trump administration official bluntly tells Rolling Stone. “If he wants them back, he will need to kiss Donald Trump’s ass harder than he’s ever kissed anybody’s ass before in his entire life.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

After 25 years with American Ballet Theater, Misty Copeland, the first Black woman ever to be named a principal dancer with the company, is retiring. She recently spoke about her historic career, her upcoming final performance and more. Watch, read or listen to “The Interview.” nyti.ms/4kYnzpP

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

Foreign tourists will be denied entry to Japan if they have not paid medical fees in past visits, and foreign nationals will not have their residential status extended if they do not pay health care and pension premiums.

The public can use cheap consumer drones to watch *the police*, and police REALLY hate this.

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody. His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice." Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

all these public officials insist they will resist the Trump admin adn that they don't support ICE...and then the police departments they supposedly control rush out to beat up anti ICE protestors.

ATTACK THEM ON EVERY FUCKING THING. EVERY TIME. EVERY DAY. RUIN THEIR MISERABLE LIVES. SHAME THEIR SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. You don’t even mention that he’s a rapist pedophile, why the fuck not? What’s wrong with you?
