hey, you guys? am I the only one who cares that government officials are lying about who is really in charge of the organization that has dismantled multiple federal agencies?

jk jk, he can't even dream of crowds this big 💅 #50501Movement

Peter Dutton, the Trumpy candidate in Australia running for Prime Minister, not only lost as PM, he lost his seat in parliament too. Exact same thing happened in Canada to Poilievre. You love to see it.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

The Trump administration laid off nearly half of the Department of Education division that handles civil rights investigations and halted work on thousands of pending discrimination cases. If you were affected, we want to hear from you. Get in touch:

And there you have it.

We see the infighting and splintering in protests. This is very common. Don’t be discouraged. The reason we use hashtag #3E is that it is the light on the hill. No matter what your collective is called or what your focus is, we are all working together to end Impunity, Oligarchy, and Autogenocide.

Bernie: You have an obscenity in the wealthiest guy in the world running all over DC firing thousands of dedicated federal employees. At a time when the Social Security Administration doesn't have enough employees right now to service the seniors, they want to discharge thousands of people at SSA.

We all must stand up every single day. "If the founding history of this country is any guide, those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights and, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." -Judge Howell

NEW: The Trump Administration want's you to believe it's the most transparent in history, when nothing could be further from the truth. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/transparen...

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally obscene.

These are lawyers in #Vermont today standing together in the rain and standing up for #DueProcess and #RuleOfLaw It will take all of us.

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

Classrooms are inherently political. Every time a teacher covers a topic or historical figure or literature, they are being political. The politics of those they leave in and those they leave out.

For those keeping score at home… (Source: @TheEconomist)

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Americans rely on the National Weather Service forecasts for everything from getting their kids to school on time to getting out of the way when a disaster hits. (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

Yes. We keep writing headlines that assign powers to the president that he does not have.

Most freedom of speech suppression Trump’s MAGA has engaged in has been against anyone that criticizes Israel or has spoken out against genocide. This is a foreign country violating your 1st amendment by proxy. It’s an uncomfortable truth that must be accepted so it can be confronted and remedied.

BREAKING: Trump has unveiled his proposed budget. ➡️$163 billion in cuts to health care, child care, education, housing, research, clean energy, food banks, and more ➡️$1 trillion for defense and homeland security

NEW: US weather forecasting is in worse shape than previously known, with 30 NWS forecast offices missing meteorologists-in-charge and about a dozen offices at risk of no longer serving their communities 24/7. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

"For decades I've been putting money into Social Security. And I have a disabled Grandson who's 23 who depends on it. My father was killed down there when a furnace blew up. I wasn't even 10 years old. It's not only retirees, you gotta think of the youngsters too" - steel plant retiree Thomas Sedor.

It may not be a household name, but Palantir is now one of the world's most valuable companies. Its "spy tech" is set to gain more government and military work in the Trump administration. By @bobbyallyn.bsky.social

Trump's budget plan includes a record $1 trillion in military spending. At the same time, he wants to cut $163 billion in housing, education, healthcare, climate, and labor programs to pay for tax cuts that will mostly go to the rich. "Fiscal responsibility."

I bet it’d be a bestseller.

BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights: “Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

Normalization of Israel’s genocide in Gaza is normalization of Russia’s genocide in Ukraine. It doesn’t only move the Overton window towards the global acceptance of mass murder but it creates a system of legal protections for would be genocidaires like Putin or Netanyahu.

We have seen this over and over again. If you push back on the regime, they will relent. Push back harder.

Donald Trump just had the worst 100 days in presidential history. He is hoping for us all to get complacent. Not going to happen.

The savvy will scoff, but I am completely serious about this. Congressional Dems should introduce a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power and force votes on it whenever they can. Dem presidential wannabes should endorse the idea. Blue states should signal support.

From Epstein island to the Vatican 🇻🇦

The time has come for the judiciary to scrap the presumption of regularity. It is yet another outdated norm that we can no longer afford. Those fighting to preserve democracy already face a daunting task without judges reflexively giving Trump the benefit of the doubt.

This is blatantly anti-Catholic and makes fun of Catholicism. Will ANYONE in the Catholic Church speak out against it?

Congratulations Australia! The people have crushed the fascists. The Labor party’s PM Anthony Albanese has secured a second term in office in an election wipeout. The push back against the Trump / Putin aligned global regressive movement continues strong.

Trump is losing it. His “two doll” trade war is cratering the economy. And national pushback against his agenda is growing — both in the courts and on the streets. What does it all mean? We discuss this and more on a new Coffee Klatch. https://youtu.be/-3WQz_T3LTk
