Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...

This can't stand. It’s time to rescue the government. 'This is the crisis moment': Political scientist says Trump crossed a crucial red line www.rawstory.com/trump-deport...

The Trump Administration sent Harvard a detailed list of extreme demands on Friday. It called for the dismantling of "DEI" Harvard centers, including a legal clinic, tha study human rights, and the surveillance of students political views. Harvard has responded and rejected these demands.

Plenty of complaints about Harvard over the years, but a proud Harvard alum today. wapo.st/4cH9vy3

About 1 in every 60 people in El Salvador is incarcerated. That is more than twice the runner up (Cuba, which is around the same ballpark of estimates for North Korea) and more than three times the notoriously high rate in the United States. It is about on par with the gulag population under Stalin.

Time for 2 million resisters in the streets of DC.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Hey Rubio! I’d like to report some anti-Christian bias

Eugenicist logic: If you have are healthy, you will not die from infectious disease. To be healthy, you must have superior genes. Therefore, people with flawed genes are the ones who die from infectious disease. So let the natural weeding continue.

The Trump administration cancelled a requirement of Alabama to clean up raw sewage flowing into yards where kids often play in rural, impoverished, majority-Black communities, calling the cleanup requirement “illegal DEI.” 1/3 insideclimatenews.org/news/1104202...

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.

A hundred years ago pronatalism was known as positive eugenics, which encouraged the breeding of the “best" human stock, as measured by race “science,” primitive IQ tests, and social darwinist assumptions. www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/u...

I wouldn’t plan a vacation here either if I lived elsewhere. There are cases of young women traveling here and being held in inhumane conditions by ICE for weeks. Who would want to risk that?

This is exactly the response I would expect from ALA. Just sad it’s taken so long to get it rolling.

I’m dying! 😂😂😂 #bullshitbarbie

Hats off to Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills. Unlike too many others, she refuses to bow to Trump. “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness,”. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump’s new tariffs don’t make economic sense — and that’s the point. These tariffs are designed to cause widespread pain so that Trump can use the power of relief as a form of extortion: indivisible.org/tariffs

Where’s your black MAGA hat, mofo? Could a grain of humility penetrated this richest and most arrogant asshole in the world?

Share this everywhere. I believe there should be immigration enforcement. I believe there shld be an immigration enforcement agency. But this one is simply lawless to the core. That fact is just inescapable.
