"the senseless sacrifice of decades of common-good investments in everything from medical research to national parks..." thehill.com/opinion/whit...

And this when our generals .. who serve the constitution to protect the people of this country... need to step in and tell the administration "hands off the people".

Tens of thousands of immigrants who had been allowed to temporarily live and work in the US under the Biden administration have received a seemingly unequivocal message in recent days from DHS. Leave “immediately.” w/ Miriam Jordan and @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

Utah!! "The arena has a roughly 15,000-seat capacity, according to the university. An estimated 1,000 more packed the arena floor, and about 4,000 crowded outside the arena..." utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/04/13/b...

The expansion of Trump and Project25s mission to remove all who oppose them.. snatch them from their beds and SELL them into slave labor in other countries.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

I get it now.. Trump is really a hurricane .. changing direction moment to moment .. causing panic and chaos in his wake.

China has suspended exports of rare earth minerals and magnets crucial to the world’s automakers, aerospace manufacturers and military contractors. The crackdown is part of the country’s retaliation for President Trump’s sharp increase in tariffs.

Have to draw an interesting comparison here. Trumps tariffs last about as long as Stormy said other actions lasted. Fumbling and quick to finish. I'm talking about then tariffs.

The Trump administration signaled on Sunday that it would pursue new tariffs on the powerful computer chips inside smartphones and other technologies, just two days after it excluded a variety of electronics from the steep import taxes recently applied on goods arriving from China.

Scary to think of Vance as president but at least no one fears or follows him. It's even scarier to think what is inside Trump. Definitely tons of waste fraud and abuse up in there. Those poor clinicians!

Congress has the power to stop this economic chaos right now. Here’s the plan to end Trump’s game of red-light, green-light with worldwide tariffs:

You Must Take Part in Revolution uses Hong Kong’s 2019 protests to explore an alternate-history showdown between the US and China.

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.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Under Trump, ICE has become a weapon. Protesters are arrested. Immigrants are disappeared. Kilmar wasn't a threat, he was a legal resident who fit a profile. Mahmoud wasn't silenced for violence-he was targeted. This is an American Gestapo. (1/3) #FreeKilmar #DefendDueProcess #BringThemBack

Well because ... oh yea .. there is no logic behind what they do.

Just putting it out there

“This is yet another example of a DOGE ‘report’ misunderstanding this data at best, blatantly mischaracterizing this data at worst.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

Fundamental principle of our American government : separation of church and state. Yes we struggle with that all of the time but this is blatant! As of 2022, only 67% identify as Christian and that number has been declining for 5 decades.

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

EMERGENCY MASS MOBILIZATION TO PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS 📅 Saturday, April 12 ⏰ 5 pm 📍 Times Square, 43rd St. & 7th Ave. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. We must stand up and stand together for Mahmoud Khalil, for free speech, for immigrants, for students, for each other.

Frontier Airlines announced it is cutting flights due to a drop in demand and an “uncertain environment.”

Experts agree that environmental exposures are driving some increases in autism. But figuring the causes - from air pollution to maternal infections to PFAS - by September? One expert called it 'ludicrous': Gift - www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/h...

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

Well this breaks 600 years of precedence whereby a church is seen as a sanctuary for all of god's children. Time for Pope to chime in here !!
