‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

Good one!

Deplorables.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

This 👇 is so wrong!

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

Please share and save a life! Thank you 💔

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

What else can you call it when people illegally seize funding that Congress allocated but a coup? A DOGE engineer removed users’ access to grants.gov, threatening to slow the process of awarding thousands of federal grants annually. wapo.st/42uavRC

NYT: "Maya Angelou Is Out but ‘Mein Kampf’ Stays at the Naval Academy Library" "An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

Doesn't take a psychologist:

Resist!

After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.

To be fair, the rest of the universe probably thinks this is for the best.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

“Trump isn’t a leader, he’s a dealer. His actions prioritize personal gain over public service, using tariff negotiations as yet another avenue for corruption. This isn’t leadership—it’s self-dealing. #TrumpWatch #Corruption #Resist #StandUp” www.nj.com/politics/202...

Rather than cite “DEI”—write out the words. Diversity Equity Inclusion Because if you’re against DEI, THAT’S what you’re against. Don’t let folks hide behind the initials.

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

LIVE: AOC is just started speaking at her largest rally yet in Los Angeles. Watch HERE: www.youtube.com/live/T2449Ua...

Some good news from the other side of the pond…👇 Right then. 😎✨

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Tom Homan is one evil human being who needs to die in prison. I don’t care if he does.

Everyone who lost money on 401k should sue him. He should be in jail.

His brain is mush!

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Can someone please reassure me that I'm overthinking it? Why would the government so adamantly resist the return of a man it admits was innocent and sent by accident? I fear something terrible has happened to him, and that's why they can't return him.

House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk. I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

Every time I read about these law firms caving I think about the sporting goods store owner in the Sopranos who got in hock to Tony and how Tony’s crew ended up cleaning out his store and bankrupting him …. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bust_Out

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

CDC unable to respond to lead crisis due to funding cuts.

So, let’s GET LOUD, folks! 👇 Who’s with me?! 🤚✨

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Fighting like hell is better with a companion by your side! Happy #NationalPetDay to all our four-legged and feathered friends!

💚💚💔💔

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Here are some nice mushrooms
