#OTD in 1967, my father delivered his “The Other America” speech at Stanford University. He gave several versions of this address, each one a powerful indictment of the racial and economic inequality that continues to shape our nation. His words still echo with urgency today.

The Corporate MSM and Press continue to call Cody Balmer's attempted murder of Gov. Shapiro and his family an arsonist attack instead of an attempted assassination www.axios.com/2025/04/13/s...

Normal authoritarian day. Trump talks about sending US citizens to prison in foreign countries, demands media outlets adversarial to him be shut down, and seems generally confused about everything.

Accountability in arrears. Amplifying this is essential. Battle on!

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

If they're not paying taxes, what are they doing in IRS records? Sounds rather ironic!

🧵 This is a propaganda “MINISTRY OF TRUTH.” In this regime words like "truth" and "law" are hollowed out and repurposed. They no longer carry their traditional meanings. Instead, "truth" is whatever aligns with this regime’s ideology, and "law" is simply the codification of their bias.

He’s got a point. After his stint working in the government I’d like him to go work in the mines.

Saying the quiet part out loud

The Trump admin has reached the begging stage

there is no “epidemic,” he is almost certainly going to say it is vaccines and, well, stay safe everyone.

RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

Big ships take a long time to turn, but donOLD spins the wheel like he's at one of his failed casinos effectively breaking off the rudder...FDT

Even for MAGA, this is fucking NUTS.

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

Putting things into perspective: 🆘 #removetrumpnow #traitor #Trumprecession2025

youtube.com/watch?v=MxFH... An excellent breakdown of the decline of America and the very precarious position we find ourselves. If we don't do something soon, we will fall

This is frightening!!! youtu.be/x002yRpmeT0?...

All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

I'd be money that they change this headline in the next few hours after someone from the White House calls them. bsky.app/profile/owil...

Why can’t people just accept that the tariffs, which are permanent and not a negotiating tactic, are not going anywhere, and they are now paused, because every country gave Trump what he wanted, even though they have him nothing. WHY CAN’T YOU ACCEPT THAT?

Stocks dropped 14.5% from their highs since Trump’s tariff announcement They’ve now recovered 9.4%, and are still down 6.4% from their high. Trump is calling this a victory, despite nothing being “fixed” about trade and despite countries giving Trump nothing. What exactly is the victory?

BREAKING: In the most predictable of predictable news, trump has just ordered a 90-day pause on some tariffs. HE CAVED AGAIN. What a fucking clown.

Another great sign

GRAY PANTHER

Millions of bots defending his tariffs yelling “it’s chess not checkers!” Ok buddy.
