Putin, who has sent around one million Russians to their deaths in his imperialist attack on Ukraine, salutes his fellow tyrant-dictator Kim Jong Un for sacrificing thousands of North Koreans in this sickening war. All free democracies stand with Ukraine.

If anyone in the legacy media wants to know why they have lost the trust of the American public, I suggest they tune into C-SPAN at 8pm tonight for a tutorial. Support pro-democracy, independent media.

A new billboard is about to go up in Birmingham Alabama, to protest Felon 47’s crashing of UA’s spring commencement ceremonies. The speech on May 1 is a separately ticketed event open to UA graduates. Surprisingly, it is free. Regular commencement is May 2–4. www.threads.net/@brbldot/pos...

Kevin Kiley refuses to talk to his constituents about their health care and social security. Because he WON’T protect it. So, I went to Folsom and talked to them.

As Trump does not espouse a single of the principles that the Pope offers the world - kindness to all, especially the less fortunate, unconditional love, tolerance, peace & compassion - he should keep Pope Francis' name out of his disgusting pie-hole and go back to golfing and crashing the economy.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.
