#Trump did not even address the attempted murder of the governor of Pennsylvania and his family. Instead, he shitposted about 60 Minutes. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-ignore...

The ACLU is no longer posting on Twitter. They have abandoned their 1.6 million follower account and are now posting on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

I just scanned for news stories resulting from a search for "arson governor shapiro trump" and found not a single story among three dozen that mentioned the President of the United States offering condolence or condemning the firebombing if a governor's mansion. Are we really living this reality?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, sits in an El Salvador prison, after being convicted of NO crimes- while the man who sent him there, sits in the White House, after being convicted of 34 crimes. Make it make sense.

The president is saying that once the administration gets people outside our borders it can do anything to them—including torture and death—and they can’t be stopped or held accountable.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

PA Governor Josh Shapiro's home was attacked by arsonist on the 1st night of Passover. Did you know there were over 10,000 reported incidents of antisemitism in the US last year? Even words have consequences. They create an environment where this can happen. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

And now for something completely different.. Peder Severin Krøyer (Denmark, 1851-1909) "French forest workers returning" Oil on canvas 1879 80 x 100 cm. Krøyer composed his works by first sketching his figures, then painting the landscape without people and finally putting the two together.

And now for something completely different.. Hugo Gerhard Simberg (24 June 1873 – 12 July 1917) was a Finnish symbolist painter and graphic artist. Elämän Virralla (In the Stream of Life), 1896 gouache, paper, watercolor 23.6 cm × 14.2 cm

They’re using the hostages to try and justify their anti-democratic movement. Not in our name

Waiting for our shithole president to say SOMETHING about the attempt to burn down the residence of the Governor of the 5th most populous state with him and his family in it

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

This is much worse than I expected it to be. What a horrific attack on the governor and his family. My heart goes out to them and thankful for their safety. Visited with the gov earlier this year and can’t believe how badly damaged the residence is.

This is what Maga under Trump does to our elected leaders. This was an attempt at the murder of the entire family of our Governor. I hope Fetterman is proud of his disgusting support of this poisonous regime.

Sure looks like the evil dude that tried to kill Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is MAGA. This should surprise absolutely no one. This is what Trump brought to America. Absolute chaos and evil. www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-...

Breaking News: Pennsylvania authorities have arrested a 38-year-old man who they said had set fire to the official residence of Gov. Josh Shapiro.

My statement on the arson attack targeting Governor Josh Shapiro and his family during Passover.

Some evil nut broke into our Governor's residence and almost killed his entire family with an arson. I did not yet look to see if there is social media for Cody Balmer, 38. I'm expecting to see proof of membership in the #Trump cult. #joshshapiro apnews.com/article/josh...

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

Lotte World in #SouthKorea is so different. How deep in the earth do these rides go, like particularly that dark ride? On the plus side, you could probably survive a nuclear war in this amusement park. #rides #amusementpark #fun youtu.be/Oi8P4Fh2sIo?...

Under the "state of exception," tens of thousands are held without due process in El Salvador, often facing abuse and torture. ⚠️🚨🇸🇻 ➡️ Deporting migrants into this system is a direct breach of international law and human rights norms. ⚖️💔 #HumanRights #Prisons #ElSalvador

Kenyan schoolgirls tried to perform Echoes of War, a play about youth losing faith in their leaders. 🎭✊🏾 Police shut it down, detained their director, and fired tear gas. These girls were silenced for speaking up. A direct attack on freedom of speech and children’s rights. 😢⚖️ #HumanRights #Kenya

Police repression, silenced dissent, shrinking freedoms — Georgia’s human rights crisis deepens. 🇬🇪📢 ➡️ The UK and the OSCE are urging action before it’s too late. 🚨⚖️ #Georgia #HumanRights #OSCE ➡️ www.gov.uk/government/s...

Powerful words! 🕊️⬇️

Nearly 3 years of conflict in Sudan. Mass killings. Sexual violence. Starvation used as a weapon. ⚠️🇸🇩 And the world keeps looking away. African lives matter too. 💔⚖️ #Sudan #HumanRights #JusticeForSudan 🔗 www.jurist.org/news/2025/04...

Texans could be ‘hardest hit’: The state could lose 370,000 jobs and $47 billion a year in GDP because of Trump’s tariffs www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Enjoy. 😎✨

Several of you have asked me how to live in a nation whose leader has embraced cruelty as public policy. How do we inhabit Trump’s America without becoming complicit in this cruelty? Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

#ICE

It's sort of deeply disturbing but also sort of funny that when you commit a felony over your crazy #Trump cult ideas, you end up with your own page on #IMDb. Her only "film credit" is "Karen Harasses Young Woman." And it's not an acted, fake video. She did time in jail and has three years probation

Typical #Trump voters. A young woman with an ABOLISH #ICE bumper sticker did not engage with this nightmare couple at all. But that did not stop them. Instead, she had their shared psychosis inflicted on her. Twice. At least this one ended well...months later. youtu.be/OdFSej4QiFU?...

This is weird. The wife of the Weezer bassist is also a New York Times bestselling true crime author. She got in a shootout with police, who were hunting unrelated suspects, and ended up shot & charged with attempted murder. Something is off here. #books #truecrime #writing youtu.be/isXdki-ZVv0?...

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers to insulate themselves from the world they're rapidly destroying. It's why we have to work together because it really is a 0.1% vs the 99.9% situation www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

I’m shocked the red MAGAt hats, gold sneakers, and bibles aren’t exempt from the tariffs. 🙄

At first, I was horrified because I thought this cheerful magnet read INCELS. "Who knew they have so much fun?" I thought. Then I figured out what it read. If you are from #Pennsylvania or have past residence or visits here, you will probably know. If not, maybe not so much. #incel

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Oh this is VERY worrying
