If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck !

Every single service member and veteran, if they’re being honest, will all tell you the exact same thing: We’d be immediately burned at the stake if we treated classified intel the way Pete Hegseth has treated it.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Alito and Thomas are two of the most corrupt stooges ever to sit on the Supreme Court Every single one of their rulings screams that they love money and privilege and hate democracy

Walk and Talk - the people are in the street, the Supreme Court is up early, 1 am Saturday, to stifle Trump’s excesses, the fight goes on, the drift today is encouraging. We have miles to travel before we sleep. youtu.be/BCReZihNrlo?...

"Fascism is might over right, conspiracy over reality, fiction over fact, pain over law, blood over love, doom over hope." - Timothy Snyder 👇👇👇Seems spot on.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

impeach. convict. remove. rinse. repeat.

Auschwitz was not located in Germany, but in Poland. CECOT is not in the US but in El Salvador

For some reason I don’t think the Supreme Court of the United States is going to be having a relaxing summer this year.

Keep standing up to the bullies. Don’t comply in advance and never bend the knee. It’s going to take all of us to make it through this.

My first Saturday morning coffee on my deck this season 😎☕️

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand 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.

When you force people to foreign incarceration for the rest of their life without due process... that's not deportation. That's human trafficking. And it's not a prison. It's a concentration camp.

EXACTLY.

It turns out a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster does not make for a good President.

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

Trump violated the first rule of politics--DON'T FUCK UP THE ECONOMY!!!!

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

This is the most important legal news of the day. Maybe in US history. . Every single American needs to see this excerpt. . Left or right, the constitution is the only thing standing between YOU and a slow painful death in a foreign prison.

Brat Summer ruled 2024 In 2025, it’s BURNER Summer—closed parks, cruise ship outbreaks, forest fires, & border chaos Trump broke vacation. New from @newsjennifer.bsky.social

As a lawyer, I can tell you why Abrego Garcia must remain in El Salvador. If he were free, he could sue me for defamation and win. by Pam Bondi

Since the first day of his administration, Trump has been testing the bounds of executive power. His retributive targeting of law firms is an attack not just on the legal profession, but on the rule of law itself. americanoversight.org/trumps-polit...

🤣🤣

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.

True facts are true

or they’ll call slaw enforcement

Popok: This is not just about Abrego Garcia—and they’re right. It’s not about whether he is or isn’t MS-13. This is about the rule of law and our co-equal branches of government. This is about greater principles.

Spot on. Who else agrees with this? Drop a comment.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955. It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

South Korea would have this shit wrapped up in 48 hours.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.
