I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Democratic Party, people are helping you with messaging for free!

I have another nomination for the FAFO Hall of Fame.

This is damn important.

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

This seems like a big story: A federal judge, who was appointed by Trump, has ruled that he cannot ban AP from press briefings because they refuse to kowtow to him on the Gulf of Mexico name 👏👏

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

Republican Congress needs to get on board for impeachment. The tariffs aren’t an economic policy, they are meant as a tool to undermine our democracy, a means to force every major company and industry in America to pledge loyalty in return 4 tariff relief. Mofia boss mob tactics

"The president is trying to pull the justices into '[doing] Trump’s bidding' while undermining 'the judicial power and authority that Republicans devoted so much effort to obtain.'"

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him. "After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Hegseth has got to go.

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."   The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Wow! 5 years! Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey.

Now Trump wants to make it HARDER to vote if your name doesn’t exactly match on every doc?? That hits married folks who change their names, disaster survivors who lost paperwork, and so many others. This ain’t about security—it’s suppression.

Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed” The chat:

#ResistanceWomen #Voices4Victory Today is Equal Pay Day, the day women working full time have finally caught up with what their male counterparts made last year. In other words, we have had to work an additional 83 days in 2025 to earn the same as men earned in 2024. /1

Soooo True!!

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

A massive demonstration took place in Budapest today against Viktor Orbán’s pro-Russia regime in Hungary Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared: “The spring is here, the spring of the Hungarians, and we, together, will end Orbán’s winter.”

Someone should explain this to the radical fascist republicans in black dresses sitting on #SCOTUS.

Shout it from the rooftops. This is not left vs right, this is a class struggle.

It's still early, of course, but I do wonder if one consequence of Trump 2.0 will be to cure Europe's recent flirtation with the far-right. They're seeing what the new right looks like in power, and it's very ugly and incompetent.

Big legal win for the “rights of nature” movement:rights of nature is a growing legal movement to acknowledge and grant rights to elements of the natural world. From rivers and mountains to birds and trees, Indigenous People recognize that the living and energetic systems of Unci Maka — our

Nice work asshole - No market for swasticars in Germany Let’s do the same in US

The list of civil society organizations against the Republican CR is now over 160, with major groups like MoveOn and the Lawyers’ Committee having joined the campaign:

We can’t be silent !

This is the most accurate headline I’ve seen so far, with lots of media & all the usual Russian shills on here swallowing Putin’s BS. Did he sign the agreement? No. Have they ceased firing? No. We have empty words & caveats - this is no different than what he’s said for 2 years

The NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, etc etc have shifted to the right. Fox & the Post et al have always been hard right. Twitter & Meta are controlled by right wingers. On a daily basis, millions of Americans - probably the majority - see nothing but sanitized, accomodationist, right wing coverage of Trump.
