📚 Books by: @davidpakman.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @briantylercohen.bsky.social and others are under fire by Fake47 admin threatening an Amazon distributor’s government contractor who will cancel unless they pull their books. JFC. FFS. WTF. OMG. UGH youtu.be/GtEymx55dnU?...

Nothing to see here..

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Prediction: Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Something that’ll never fail to bother me about the Supreme Court is that many of the justices proclaim to be faithful keepers of our history but then fail to learn anything meaningful from it. “I’ll talk about the ancient origins of habeas while also destroying its value as an enduring principle.”

Don’t blame just Trump for this. Blame every congressional Republican. They own this tariff disaster too. In fact, they own every stupid, ignorant, cruel, authoritarian, un-American thing Trump does. Cowards. Enablers. Accomplices.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Keep talking about SignalGate! Do not let them push it out of the news. 18 U.S.C. § 793(f)makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust. 🧵Thread 1/14🔥+ vids 🇺🇸 | 🇬🇧 | 🇺🇦 | 🇷🇸

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

Of course they are.

Just a thought…👇

Everyone involved in this Signal war room chat should be fired immediately. A non partisan investigation must be launched. And Trump and Vance need to be impeached and removed. To start.

Stolen from my friend...Mags 🤣🦋🤣🦋🤣🦋

*The Atlantic has entered the Signal chat* Biggest story, you say?

If you are trans (or other LBGTQIA++) and thinking of suicide or self harm here is a number you can call for help TRANS HELP LINE from the Trevor Center 866-488-7386 and please repost, thanks!

Who agrees with AOC....

2020: attacks on “BLM” 2022: attacks on “CRT” 2024: attacks on “woke” 2025: attacks on “DEI” BLACK. THEY MEAN BLACK.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

found a new way to console myself late last night: a little subreddit called r/BuyCanadian has exploded and it’s fucking amazing

“There’s gonna be a big presence in DC, but it’s not just DC — I want to see this in rural areas, in suburban areas, in urban areas, in red states, purple states, blue states. It’s going to take all of us.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social We’re taking to the streets nationwide on April 5: handsoff2025.com
