If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Obama prevented Iran from developing a nuclear weapon with his words. Trump couldn't do it with bombs. Peace through strength is a myth.

There is no justification for the U.S. bombing of Iran. We have NO PROOF of WMDs.

The people supporting ICE and the current police state are the same people who would have supported or looked the other way from what Hitler did as he pushed his agenda. Humans can always acclimate to a new normal, especially if it doesn't directly affect them, and it shows.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Harvard holds commencement while facing Trump administration pressure. @ahylton26.bsky.social is on the ground with the latest. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The framing in The Daily today is insane. "Trump administration is penalizing dissent by withholding research funding" is presented as "Harvard has a problem" instead of "We're living in an autocracy and we all have a problem"

Trump and Harvard are in court today. The court is hearing arguments on whether to grant a prelim injunction. DHS has said existing foreign students are to transfer or lose their legal status 🤬 Harvard needs to tell Trump to get off their dick, they’re just not into him #SheShed

Trump is killing Harvard by degrees. Project 2025 is being enacted.

Trump's ongoing assault on Harvard is incompatible with liberal democracy. There is absolutely no way that he knows what the phrase "liberal democracy" means, but some of his handlers do, and I'm sure they hate it. That the president can do this is evidence of deep, fatal rot.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

If ANYONE tries to employ Biden's cancer diagnosis in an argument about the 2024 election, I will block you. Twice. Miss me with that shit.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

This is a friendly reminder that before this dumb trade war, most US goods were tariffed in China at 10%, some at 15%. So we didn't get anything and are paying 30% more on Chinese goods in America now. #Tarrifs #ChinaTarrifs #TradeWar
