But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

Hello Christians who vote for Trump, look at your dear leader and how he marks Easter. This is not the sign of a good Christian man, suckers. These are the ramblings of a nefarious lunatic.

A Border Patrol official arrested a 19 yo citizen from Albuquerque in Arizona who didn’t have ID on him, claimed he ‘admitted’ to illegally crossing the border, abducted + ICE imprisoned him for 10 days, and would have deported him to Mexico if his family hadn’t tracked him down and provided his ID.

There is no dignity in losing civil rights you hack scum

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Biblical scholars now believe that if Jesus had covered up his gang tattoos, he might’ve avoided crucifixion.

Van Hollen: This case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the Constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

and there is more of this for democrats to do! demand to see the other people renditioned to this prison! conduct on camera interviews with people who have lost social security, veterans benefits and medical care because of DOGE, hold rallies against the administration’s lawlessness!

Pretty much everything this guy does that isn’t currently a crime needs to become a crime

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Nobody knows from one hour to the next what the policy of the US govt is that impacts trillions of dollars in global trade. There is no economic certainty for investors, corporations, or small businesses. Mad King Donald is determined to wreck this economy.

Yesterday they refused to answer two of the three questions ordered. Today's refuses to address, in any way, all three. None of this has anything to do with the order. This is open defiance of a district court backed by a unanimous three-judge circuit ruling and a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling.

I always knew conceptually how my family was sent to their death in the Holocaust by friends and countrymen capitulating. But watching it happen in real time so quickly, so easily, with twisted justification and hand waving is putting a whole new spin on understanding the horror they must have felt.

Hypothesis: there’s no contract and we’re not actually paying El Salvador. They just straight-up trafficked 200 people.

Let’s find out what they mean by “anti-Christian bias” in the State Department! I suspect they mean a failure to promote Christian nationalism.

I've seen a lot of 'if you wanted to collapse higher education in America, this is how you'd do it," and I don't mean to be rude, but that isn't a distant point: this is them literally, explicitly, and actively working to collapse higher education in this country, and doing it because they want to

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.

Impeach the motherfucker.

"To that end, I have twenty questions for Mr. Rubio, and I encourage all reporters covering him and the State Department to be candid in seeking clarification on what constitutes 'anti-Christian bias' under his new policy..." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/questions-...

Cult of personality watch. These are not the habits of a democratic movement.

Amy Klobuchar demanding to speak at the massive Hands Off Rally in Saint Paul and then spending the next week confirming Trump appointees is amazing. Just tremendous contempt for her constituents.

I am absolutely not a fan of this man, that said, he’s completely correct and the messaging here is 💯

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

If you’re not already deeply mobilized to oppose & stop these fascists, I truly hope this gets you there.

When you just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever

Why does he always have a map of the "Gulf of America" next to him in the Oval Office? And it's not even the *same* map. They've made multiple. Seems like a kid being like "Look what I did!"

Sure, Kamala Harris would have have preserved our global power and domestic prosperity. But she would have done so as a Black woman. by Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller

Trump created an environment of instability where it's impossible to make long term plans. Whether you're a company, investor, or anyone working to put food on the table. The GOP only promises you more of this. If you want stability, you have to vote for it by voting them out.

Never fails

I'm seeing grown-ass adults marvel at how high stocks jumped today - they must think their mom actually vanished when she played "peek-a-boo."

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Trump stood on a piece of artificial turf for his tree planting photo op

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history. The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.

You guys wanna see a dead body 🤣💀

Congress can end the tariffs now. If your Senators and Representative are Republican, call them and tell them to end the tariffs.

Nearly the entirety of my career as a C-17 pilot was during wartime and I flew many of our fallen home. It’s solemn, emotionally draining duty, and in addition to this excellent piece by @charlotteclymer.bsky.social, I’ll share how it goes from the aircrew perspective. 🧵👇🏻 1/x

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

Gonna be a wild time when other countries start reciprocating by revoking American visas and deporting Americans because of the policies of this administration.

I hate being right.

Guess he wasn't so senile after all! 😅🤣😂

So many GOP governors are just mustache-twirlingly corrupt

Now that’s a screenshot. > @atrupar.com

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

I am speechless

Never forget this administration are traitorous drunks and heedless drug addicts.
