Donald Trump was not sleeping at the funeral of a pope I didn’t kill. by JD Vance

Trump is the first US president to lose a Canadian election. #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp #NeverPoliviere #never51state

Sleepy who again?

Musk is destroying AmeriCorps. It looks like it’s RIP for AmeriCorps. The nonprofit that represents AmeriCorps’ state commissions which organize state-level community service programs funded by the federal agency announced that commissions in all 50 states,

Trumpers want us to ignore the fact that Hegseth texted war plans to a reporter, his wife and his brother and focus instead on recruitment numbers. OK, will do: They're all lying about that too. Find out more in the free link below: fightthefire.substack.com/p/hegseth-wa...

ā€œOne of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said.ā€ And no, they weren’t deported. Citizens can’t be. They were TRAFFICKED. archive.ph/lrxAs

ā€œHard stories of how progress is initiated and sustained, often against entrenched systems and great societal prejudices, is the substance of our American strength… teaching the power of how everyday people participate in shaping their own destinies, the very essence of democracy.ā€

FIFTEEN THOUSAND DEAD ALREADY.

Gov. DeWine just signed SB1, a law ending ā€œDEIā€ in Ohio public higher ed. Now that it’s law, U of Toledo just killed the following BA programs: • Africana Studies • Asian Studies • Disability Studies • Middle East Studies • Philosophy • Religious Studies • Women's/Gender Studies And… • Spanish

Amazonian Indigenous Earth Defenders are being assassinated by mafias tied to illegal mining, logging & trafficking. Similar violence plagues Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia & Brazil. Indigenous defenders are under siege for protecting the Amazon. #OpCanary #EndAutogenocide

Stephen Miller turns the fascism up to 11 on Fox News

Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

god this shit is blood boiling

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Any measure to ā€œpersuadeā€ young women to get married and get pregnant that isn’t ā€œbecause it makes them happyā€ is a measure to coerce, entrap, and control. It’s rape culture, and it’s dehumanizing as fuck.

The parties included a 7, 8, and 4-year-old. "None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys." "The 4-year-old girl in the tie-dye shirt raised her hand, dangling her pink plushy above her head. It wasn’t clear – was she responding to the question, or just playing with her toy?"

There will come a day when folks realize that the 2016 election was stolen, as was the 2024 election. That sounds crazy to say now, conspiracy stuff… but just wait. Hell, bookmark this. Different methods were used for each, but it will come out. Then we are gonna have ourselves a real mess.

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.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

We’re halfway down the autocracy hole. I can’t stress enough how crucial it is to stop this soon because if Trump becomes king, the surveillance tech is going to make resistance very very hard. apple.news/A_imhKa3IQ0a...

BREAKING WIN: Despite the Trump administration's efforts, Voice of America journalists are back at work. Norm & Jen went live to discuss the endurance of democracy, the hard-won triumph of Contrarians, and the rising value of independent journalism.

Do you know why RFK can get your medical records? When Roe v. Wade was overturned it overturned important privacy protections. We still have HIPPA. But it does not stop disclosure w/o patient knowledge or consent if it is for government public health activity. Roe v. Wade stopped this. Until now.

The best things are being bombarded and undermined by craven profiteers. #save60minutes

This was a good man.

Wholly fascinating—especially with the bridges as background. The details invite contemplation. I love art that does that. #cleveland

Fire him NOW.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

See ya Tuesday, #cleveland !

āœˆļø FOUR DEPORTATION FLIGHTS 🧵 Today, I tracked 12 ICE charters as they zigged and zagged across the USA. This took more effort than before, as the airlines have taken steps to stop tracking. Four planes also went south, presumably to drop off humans in Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador ā¤µļø

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

Apparently I’m #53 in Substack’s ā€œRising Starsā€ in the US Politics category. What are the chances that you would personally subscribe and promote the hell out of this work to help push immigration data and analysis further into public view?? I’m so excited about this.

šŸ”„ Top Campaigns, Last 24 Hours: 1ļøāƒ£ ā€œCongress must force Trump to comply with Scotus. DO YOUR JOB. Get Abrego back.ā€ (+2,666) 2ļøāƒ£ ā€œRelease Mohsen Mahdawi and others like him! Due process is for ALL.ā€ (+2,389) 3ļøāƒ£ ā€œInvestigate DOGE cybersecurity violations, data breach at NLRBā€ (+2,152)

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

We are committed to spreading his name every day until he is home. We hope you'll do the same.

A new poll shows Republican voters overwhelmingly support Trump to be their nominee in 2028, even though he is constitutionally ineligible to run. šŸ”—: youthpoll.yale.edu/spring-2025-...

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said at the White House on Monday he had no plans to return a man mistakenly deported from the United States.
