Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

America is beginning to mobilize against these horrifying ICE detentions.

So what’s YOUR plan if you see masked/unidentified thugs harassing someone in your community? If you have visible privilege (like whiteness) are you ready to use your scathing, scoldy voice? “WHERE IS YOUR IDENTIFICATION?” “WHERE IS THE SIGNED JUDICIAL WARRANT?” Be READY to be the right person.

Women are 51% of the population but 70% of the poor, and 83% of single parents doing 66% of the work producing 50% of the food, but earn only 11% of the pay and own only 1% of the land. In case you wondered why we still need feminism.

When someone as evil as Dick Cheney openly calls the orange felon the greatest threat to the United States, you know we are in some terrifyingly serious shit.

I volunteered at the NAMI walk last weekend. My face hurt from smiling - totally worth it! Sometimes all it takes is a smile & a hello to brighten someone’s day. Did you know that NAMI provides no-cost access to #mentalhealth resources to anyone in the community who needs them?

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

Make it make sense

At Pope Leo XIV's first Mass as leader on Friday, he pledged to align himself with “ordinary people” and not with the rich and powerful. Many see the first American pope as a continuation of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in his advocacy of the poor, migrants and a more open church.

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Shout out to @microsoft.com They dropped a law firm that made a deal with Trump, and engaged Jenner and Block who are fighting Trump!

April Reading Summary 24 books this past month 📚 90 books so far this year! #booksky #reading

🔥WATCH: “Would you mind telling your colleagues in Washington that when they’re burning down this house there are people still inside?” Powerful moment at an @gallego.senate.gov town hall in Arizona, as Republicans cruelly move to slash Medicaid (while cutting taxes for the rich)

I’m sure this is gonna be totally fine with no dire consequences whatsoever 😡😡😡😡

Sunday inspiration… John Lewis never folded. Neither will we. They want our light out. Keep it blazing.

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)

Yesterday was national independent bookstore day so obviously I had to celebrate 🥰 #usedbooks #independentbookstore #bannedbooks #booksky

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

THIS is what we mean by showing up. Reps Carter, Thompson, Pressley and Sen Markey, went to a detention center where Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk are being held w/out due process. They didn’t just stand up for their own constituents—they stood together for all because there’s power in numbers.

The convicted felon who has benefitted from due process his whole life wants to remove due process for everyone else.

Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful. Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Across the Universe. Feels like a fitting movie for the end of this day. In case you missed it, we’re in the middle of a civil rights movement.

Great turnout today! Another peaceful demonstration of exercising our 1st amendment rights! @50501movement.bsky.social @standupamerica.com

Respect.

MAGA would do it. Not all Republicans. This Easter weekend, it’s time to practice what you preach. What would Jesus do? Not Trump. Jesus. If you’re not sure, open the Bible and start reading it for yourself. Don’t just listen to what Fox News says. What would Jesus do?

Ready for tomorrow!

In the hour of darkness and peril and fear, let’s all channel a little Paul Revere. @hcrichardson.bsky.social #paulrevere #boston250

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

NEW: In response to reports that President Trump is planning to deport dozens more people with under 24 hours notice, we filed an emergency request for Judge Boasberg to block the administration from carrying out these deportations.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
