It's happening already.

Oprah need to get her mans.

This is how authoritarian state security forces behave in Turkey, China and other countries. Now America joins them.

I haven't heard anyone say 'No one should be a billionaire' lately

Former Netanyahu defence minister says Israel is engaging in “war crimes” and “ethic cleansing” in Gaza. So, I guess we should expect him to be blacklisted as an antisemite by Canary Mission and denied entry/detained by the US? www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

In a scathing ruling, a panel of three federal judges Thursday struck down Alabama’s 2023 congressional map as a violation of both the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm not religious but still proud of this new pope from Chicago

Yay, Jasmine - one of Dems' best communicators

Maddow: A coalition of groups including Indivisible, Social Security Works and 50501 are all organizing a nationwide day of protest for June 14th. They're calling it No Kings day. Join us: nokings.org

JUST IN: Before announcing he’d step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett said trade can be weaponized as an “act of war.” Let that sink in—one of the most trusted voices in American business just called out Trump’s tariffs what they really are: economic warfare.

By this Pam calculation, one pill has to kill more than five people. Math is hard.

I agree…..

Also disabled people can't do rugged individualism because we need serious community care to survive. It's the facts whether they want to deny us the care & condemn us to doomed lives or not.

Trump's post is a federal crime. 26 USC § 7217.

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

May 8th is RUSSIA’s “Victory Day.” The United States fought Japan for three months after RUSSIA declared victory over Germany in May 1945. Perhaps Trump forgot about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? He’s trying to rewrite American history as Russia’s.

Judge Rodriguez 05/01: Trump invocation of Alien Enemies Act is "contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms” Judge Gallagher 04/23: DOJ provided “no evidence” plaintiff a threat per AEA classification Judge Sweeney 04/22: Reliance on AEA for deportations “does so improperly.”

Donald Trump is striking out every day in court, not because these are rogue judges but because he's a rogue president and, here in America, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law are our North Star.

Right now, trump could probably be impeached for at least three different things: corruption, abuse of power, contempt of court. Elect a clown, expect a circus. Elect a criminal, expect crimes.

🎶 📻 in my Feeds May 1st, 2025 Stay safe, friends! 💙✊ 🦋Mood Anthem🦋 🇺🇸 ... and my senses newly opened I awakened to the cry that the people have the power to redeem the work of fools upon the meek the graces shower it's decreed the people rule youtu.be/y6Wz3i_BYUc?...

We can't rest until government is restored as an instrument for the people, not our homegrown theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.

Hi, I wouldn't let my newspaper endorse VP Harris & wouldn't let the op-ed page criticize Trump & I gave Trump $1 mil for his inaugural & gave his wife $30 mil to be in a doc… ....but I might have to list all the added tariff costs on Amazon so you won't think any of this is my fault.

Remind you of someone...

In the first quarter of 2025, Volkswagen surpassed Tesla as the top EV seller in Europe, with VW's registrations increasing by 157% while Tesla's dropped by 38%. I'm just here to pass along happy news.

Sad but true!!😔🫣

If anyone in the legacy media wants to know why they have lost the trust of the American public, I suggest they tune into C-SPAN at 8pm tonight for a tutorial. Support pro-democracy, independent media.

Let’s not lose sight of Trump and Musk’s true goal: Debasing and destroying our Social Security system, and leaving seniors destitute, while slashing taxes for billionaires like themselves!
