Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

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

“Undocumented immigrants need to be deported because they don’t pay taxes!!” “We’re going to use the IRS to track immigrants!” Their logic is flawless. 🙄 You can’t make this up. 🥴

Jayapal: How the hell are you gonna buy a house when the rent is already too damn high and Donald Trump is hiking up the prices of lumber and drywall..

Why isn’t this man, at the very least, in a penthouse hotel room waiting to be brought home? Every second he is held in that hell hole is unconscionable. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sta...

Rep. Maxwell Frost: “They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.”

It's kidnapping.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Fascism organizes itself around violence. Authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains (link to full video below):

Sanders: Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low income and affordable housing..

Panicked SocSec staffers: “If bad actors have access to this database, they could essentially erase people and destroy their lives.” The Trump Administration: “Wait, really?” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

15,000 people RSVP’d for this monumental event. OVER 36,000 people stepped up and showed up to be part of the Fighting the Oligarchy event in L.A. on Saturday!! Our movement is absolutely massive, and building by the day!!

Area Man Claims To Be Strongest Leader in World But Can’t Ask El Salvador a Favor

#TrumpParade 🤣🤣

DC RUMORS: MTG and her mother are being investigated for insider trading.

Maybe this is why the attempted coup in South Korea was unsuccessful. The former president is in prison now. While we have a dictator.

Oh. We’re so, so fucked. Beyond fucked. Incredibly fucked.

House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk. I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Little man is feeling the music 🎶✨ 🔊🔊 📽️danceworldkids

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

LIVE: Bernie Sanders just started speaking at one of his largest ever rallies in Los Angeles. Watch LIVE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T244...

AOC: The crumbling of our rights and protections. Understand that all of this is what it means and what it feels like to be governed by billionaires. This is what oligarchy feels like.. it is this system that has brought us the most corrupt administration in American history..

When you’ve lost the DAILY MAIL

15,000 people have gathered in downtown L.A. for the latest stop on the Fighting Oligarchy Tour featuring Bernie Sanders and AOC!! This event is part of what Sen. Sanders calls his efforts to have real discussions on how we move forward "to take on the oligarchs and corporate interests who have…

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

Someone in the crowd is in medical distress while nurses are on stage at the fighting oligarchy rally. The nurses rush off stage to give medical aid

Thoughts and prayers accomplish nothing. We must take action! Get out and peacefully protest this violent regime that is currently running our country!! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Welp, Trump even fucked up our fortune cookies. 🥠 #TrumpTariffs

WATCH: “I wept today.” On Thursday, @SenatorLamar reacted after Tennessee Republicans passed @SenBoWatson’s cruel bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools through the senate 19-13. 7 Republicans opposed it with Dems. @ToddGardenhire (R) also wept.

I don’t care who you are, what party you belong to, or who you voted for: You should be screaming from the rooftops about the extrajudicial disappearance of Kilmer Abrego Garcia. No one should be disappeared. Ever. Disappearing one person is the first step to disappearing anyone.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

It's a Friday, so there must be another departure from the Washington Post. Its deputy democracy editor Jenna Johnson is off to become a senior editor at the Atlantic. h/t @maxtani.bsky.social

I've decided to keep up with events and post reminders here. I'm going to try to keep from being reactionary. I'm on a new medication that is really helping my anxiety. It's been a night and day difference for me. Know your rights and keep fighting the lawbreakers.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

#ProudBlue This is 🔥🔥🔥

During Janelle Monae’s acceptance speech at the Human Rights Campaign’s dinner in LA on 3/22, she boldly called out FOTUS’ relentless bullying & pledged to stand with marginalised communities, urging the need for action.⁠ ⁠ Her powerful #CupOfJoe urges action.

To Karen Berrios, her mother is a hard-working, devoted single parent. To DHS, she’s “an associate of the vicious MS-13 gang.” However, nearly two weeks after Elsy Berrios was taken into ICE custody, DHS has yet to disclose any evidence to substantiate its claim against the Salvadoran woman.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.
