We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

THIS is un-American— and illegal. There’s no reason to believe these folks would be afforded due process before being deported to El Salvador anymore than undocumented immigrants have been. 📌 Trump just proposed deporting US citizens, who have been convicted of certain crimes.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Bukele is a lesser dictator. He is saying what trump has told him to say. That means Trump has no intention of returning Abrego Garcia. If SCOTUS lets him get away with it (which I think they will), Trump can erroneously send whomever he wants to die there.

He is Russia's spokesman now.

It’s crazy to watch Donald Trump be more comfortable with authoritarians than America’s allies.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

The presidents of the United States and El Salvador are engaging in human trafficking and ignoring orders by US courts. They, not the immigrants they kidnap, are the ones acting unlawfully. TRUMP: "I will send rapists to El Salvador." ME: "You first."

“The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” - US Constitution Article II, Section 4 IMPEACH

Can’t say more strongly: they are claiming the power to disappear people with no recourse, to entirely remove anyone they want to, forever, with no ability to stop them. “Unamerican” doesn’t do it justice. Diametrically opposed to anything even remotely resembling a society we should support.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

More than 1 in 4 people in the U.S. skip necessary medical care because of cost, and 68k Americans die each year because they can’t access the care they need. Donald Trump is purposely trying to make our healthcare crisis a lot worse.

RFK's pledge to find "what caused the autism epidemic" in a few short months is a transparent lie, to cover a preordained conclusion. But digging deeper, it gets much worse: it's about justifying a downright sadistic assault on children's health. www.salon.com/2025/04/14/r...

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

After years of screeching about Biden using the short stairs on Air Force One, crickets about Donald Trump that they claim is 6’3”, 224 pounds, and in “perfect health” doing the same. 🙄

This appears to be a serious act of terror towards Jewish & Democratic Governor & his family.

Someone tried to burn the Pennsylvania governor and his family to death in their beds. Make no mistake. This is where we are.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

When an attempt was made on Donald Trump’s life, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris immediately issued statements condemning the shooting and all political violence. The fact that Donald Trump hasn’t said a word about the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family tells you all you need to know.

Can’t wait to hear the “free speech” mob stand up for CBS and 60 minutes

Of course! Tim Cook went to Donald Trump‘s inauguration for a reason. Kissing the ring paid off…

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

Nobody knows from one hour to the next what the policy of the US govt is that impacts trillions of dollars in global trade. There is no economic certainty for investors, corporations, or small businesses. Mad King Donald is determined to wreck this economy.

Trump and Republicans are wrecking the Social Security system so they can rob it. It's corruption and greed.

beyond parody — the White House cites Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events” as evidence of his health

He didn't know the exemptions were coming and he has no idea how long they'll last. Nobody does, we're all just supposed to dance around the Mad King until bond markets treat us like the unpredictable pariah state we've become.

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.

Trump’s make-believe health report is out. Both of these men are 6’3 and 224 Lbs. Which one is lying?

I'm sure Trump's antisemitism force will be all over this.

Trump just totally ignored Cheryl Hines at UFC 🤣….love this for her!

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Things have gotten so bad here that AARP is giving its senior citizen members guidance on protecting themselves when returning to the United States. www.aarp.org/travel/trave...

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

🚨We are facing a crisis of confidence🚨 Stephanie Ruhle @stephruhle.bsky.social “& what Trump has done… has set fire to everybody’s pension plans, everybody’s value, everybody’s long term futures.” Peter Frankopan @peterfrankopan.bsky.social Professor of Global History at Oxford University. 1/4🧵

It’s wild that Trump surrendered to the companies that bribed him but decided to just go ahead and keep fucking over small businesses just for the hell of it.

Chuck is running to unseat Virginia Foxx — please follow, support, amplify 👏🏼 @chuck.hubbardforcongress.com

I spoke to another person this week—also a US-born citizen—who showed me the DHS email she received informing her that she had to leave the country. Incompetent, evil or both?

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?

This is so bad

My God, the sheer cynicism of this. Forcing the poor and vulnerable to keep an account on your platform to receive the money that keeps them housed, fed, and alive. Digital serfdom

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says it's "not realistic" to rule out cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
