someone please put a laugh track on this

Chag Pesach Sameach | Happy Passover

Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration. It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

Here’s an idea for Passover, the Freedom Holiday: When El Salvador’s President Bukele enters the White House Monday April 14 for an “official working visit,” he should BRING MR. GARCIA WITH HIM, HOPEFULLY ALIVE, AND RETURN THE RANSOM HE COLLECTED FOR ENSLAVING THAT LAWLESSLY SEIZED INNOCENT MAN.

Write to the headquarters of all your banks and strongly request that they maintain and honor FDIC coverage of your deposits. Notify them of this. The last thing banks are going to want is a run, with consumers pulling out money. Get them to push back. (And consider opening a Canadian account.)

He was in no way like worldly rulers who have amassed treasure for the purpose of displaying worldly pomp and circumstance for their public appearances. Christ was no such earthly king… —Martin Luther

Just be sure to go out your door, join others, protest, bombard Congress, sue if you have to. Refuse their terrorism. (BTW, that's another avenue for the law.)

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

Every Democrat in North Carolina should be talking about this. bsky.app/profile/bria...

By eating sea urchins, otters are crucial to the health of kelp forest ecosystems, on which a wealth of ocean life depends. THE most important thing to understand about nature is that it only functions healthily as a *system*, with all parts present. #Rewilding www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/sea...

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Overheard on the train in DC today: Person #1: I don't want to talk about that. You know I don't do politics. Person #2: Yeah, but politics is doing you right now so we are going to talk about it. . Y'all. If you can be anyone, be Person #2: my new hero. 🫶🏼

🧵 Setting aside "bankrupting" the country, the point about "what would restore confidence" is one Democrats need to take seriously and be working on diligently, and now. We no longer can start from a point of leadership, passing this all off as a blip. We are going to need multiple strategies. 1/

I hope you will read this

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

BREAKING: A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from freezing funds used by Maine to pay for school lunches and food for kids/adults in day care settings. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The idiots in the Trump Regime are STILL using personal phones and a free phone app to message classified information.

🎯 I will absolutely get behind any candidate with the credentials to runs on a strong anti-corruption, consumer protection platform that respects the Constitution.

~WOW! Good point! Mark Carney "may be vital to preventing a global economic collapse." AMPLIFY THIS!

If Marco Rubio is deporting people for Antisemitic speech, (which Mahmoud Khalil has not apparently engaged in), allow me to direct him to the Nazi Chatroom formerly known as Twitter.

One way to know if you are living in a democracy is whether you are able to express dissenting political views without fearing negative consequence from the government.

Agreed. Read the whole thread

Oh, shit.

Space Force Colonel says something honorable. Snowflake VP and fragile little administration have a fit.

True, and terrifying. In the early 2000s, I taught college students who wouldn't or couldn't keep their attention on the whole article or book (and complained that I would expect them to), with awful writing as well. I was teaching sometimes at what had been my 9th grade level. It's much worse now.
