Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

🤣🤣

You realize, of course, that they’re picking people up all over the place who have valid paper work and the right to be here, right? It’s not only about one guy.

#47 is a sick, lying, small excuse for a man.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Same, NASA guy. Same. Q: Are you concerned about NASA’s science budget and how that could impact further discoveries? Astrophysicist: Yeah. Frankly, I’m scared. And when I’m not scared I’m exhausted. And when I’m not exhausted, I’m scared of what’s happening to science in our country.

Apparently not content to wipe out hundreds of thousands of American jobs, DOGE is now putting Russian computer hackers out of work by personally giving our data directly to the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin!

In America, people, in America!!!

No manners, no decency.

Stern message from Rubio: If Russia doesn’t agree to a peace deal, America will walk away from Ukraine. That’ll teach ‘em! And to think people said Trump was in Putin’s pocket. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Giving up and losing seems to be one thing that he had lots of experience with and is good at.

Go!!!

My generation is supposed to make love not war but God it’s hard not to hate this moron!

Look, the German people voted for this.

Number 47 is a traitor, to our country, to our friends and allies. He just makes me feel sick, angry, but sick.

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

That’s an evil sphincter face!

As IRS commissioner under Obama (and Trump 1.0), John Koskinen weathered blistering Republican attacks on his agency and employees. But what's happening now is like nothing he's ever seen—like Richard Nixon and his "enemies list," only worse. This is "a threat to the country" he told me.

So sad and so true..

Up is down and black is white. He thinks he’s living in Bikini Bottom with SpongeBob.

I’m guessing all those little white boys with their torches and red hats are rushing to line up to pick produce! Don’t get in their way! 🤣😂🤣😂

He’s so incredibly petty and cruel!

250 years ago today, Paul Revere’s midnight ride inspired the earliest Americans to unite against threats to our nation’s founding principles. Today we find ourselves facing new attacks from within. We, the people, have an obligation to stand up and defend our democracy.

On the Old North church tonight

Liar, liar, pants on fire 🔥 I

What the hell happened to you, Marco?

“The reduction in fellowships comes as the Trump administration has been dramatically reducing federal support for all kinds of scientific research—both by freezing, canceling, or cutting grants, and by downsizing the government agencies that administer them.” @citizencohn.bsky.social

"We are outsourcing torture and murder. What kind of president, what kind of political party, can look at that with satisfaction?" And what American can not at least wonder about their own security? New from @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/are-any-of...

ONE IF BY LAND TWO IF BY D.C. the north end church in boston it’s 250 years today @northendpage.bsky.social

One of my favorite instrumentals! And I’m so looking forward to it!

An ass is an ass. They can stage all they want, just glad he’s still alive and he needs to come home!

Keep it up!!👍

Resist!

Despite a court order, Donald Trump is still refusing to allow journalists from the Associated Press into the White House press pool. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment, free speech, and freedom of the press.

Trump justifies his war on foreign students with false accusations of antisemitism. It's a lie. They are kicking out people for speeding tickets and frog embryos. Vance gave the game away by saying foreign students are "bad for the American dream." www.salon.com/2025/04/17/j...

There was a 1980's advertising campaign by the National Institute on Drug Abuse "Just Say No" 😉

Republicans claim common-sense gun legislation isn't necessary because it’s a mental health issue, but they refuse to even support mental health care for anyone. 🙄

Senator Van Hollen is on the Rachel Maddow show. He said the US Embassy in El Salvador has received no requests from the White House concerning Garcia!
