Russia is a terrorist state, and they could end this war today by leaving Ukraine.

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices. At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

The entire tariff regime is an invitation to corruption and cronyism.

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?

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

In this case “moving fast and breaking things” is destroying the lives of every day Americans and this great country.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

I think the assumption that rich people are smart is going to destroy the world.

Big heads up. The market manipulation is only part of it. Trump caved today because other countries began selling US government debt. Had that continued, it could have very, very easily led to a panic from which the US financial system would have serious issues in recovering.

Drone casually flies through Moscow as Russian air defences miss every shot

Happy Confederate Surrender Day, a fine time to consider two lessons: 1. They can be beaten 2. Victory means nothing if the traitors are allowed to slink back home as if nothing happened

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

The ideal of masculinity: destroying things other people built, whining about it, blaming someone else.

As a 20 year communications professional I’d like to offer Democrats my most sophisticated advice: While Trump is punching himself in the nuts, you could choose to 1. Also punch him in the nuts; or 2. Punch yourself in the nuts. I strongly advise number 1.

#KPop fans - your time has again come. www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

this guy should call his senator tbh

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Live look at Trump's plan for the economy.

I very much recommend people watch this series of clips. I suggest doing so because I've noticed a lot of 2024 election analyses seem to 1) misrepresent what Harris said/did & 2) project upon Harris things she did not say/did not do.

Ackman is the dumbest MF’r of them all, yes? The hubris is breathtaking.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money

Drug Dealer Granted Clemency By Trump Arrested For Allegedly Shoving 3-Year-Old Jonathan Braun, who reportedly had a connection to Jared Kushner, has now been arrested four times since the president commuted his sentence. www.huffpost.com/entry/jonath...

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!
