Do people not remember what happened to women last time? "he's taking everybody's stuff out…That's his speciality, he's the uterus collector". "an experimental concentration camp. It was like they're experimenting with our bodies." #3E #opDeathEaters www.bbc.com/news/world-l...

Van Hollen details why he thinks the government of El Salvador is making a huge mistake in turning itself into a concentration camp for Trump

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

🪧🚨📢 The rally just started and there is already a massive crowd of people in Encinitas protesting for democracy. Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — all to hand billionaires like Elon Musk even more tax breaks. WE. WONT. STAY. SILENT. #HandsOff #StopTheCuts

“Martin’s willingness to become a regular commenter on Russian television is a significant warning sign about his lack of prudence and his evident political extremism.”Spare us this guy, please, for all these reasons from @radiofreetom.bsky.social, and many more. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Despite what Putin said, Putin’s troops have not ceased to fire, Zelensky reports.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "You've got so much that's manufactured south of the border. And then the final assembly is done north of the border... Those relationships took decades to build. He's destroying them in real time. But he's destroying the most important commodity... and that's trust."

This is only one of four sides of the protest. Absolutely massive. We are NOT the minority. #HandsOff #StopTheCuts

This is what democracy looks like.

This hasn't gotten enough attention Judge Boasberg in 4/18 Alien Enemies Act hearing: “I strongly doubt that the notice [to detainees], particularly with a short time frame, complies with the Supreme Court instruction, where it doesn’t give anything about the right to challenge or seek a hearing."

We are fighting like hell for our democracy. We won’t be silent. 👊💪🚨🪧📢

Good morning from … {checks notes} … the Supreme Court of the United States

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime

I'm fighting back against the illegal layoffs at the Social Security Administration. These layoffs and the chaotic management at the SSA cause confusion, lead to longer wait times, and jeopardize payments that millions of New Yorkers depend on for their most basic needs.

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

what kind of doge disaster is this one? the nnsa kind - where they oops!ed then tried to hire people back the ebola kind - where they oops!ed then failed to hire people back the lead poisoning kind - where they oopsed! then didn't even try to hire people back www.theregister.com/2025/04/16/h...

1. Truth Social, Trump's social media platform, announced an audacious scheme yesterday to profit from Trump's tariffs Truth Social will offer actively-managed INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS composed of stocks in companies who benefit from Trump's policies It's a jaw-dropping conflict of interest

“No freeman shall be taken or (and) imprisoned or disseised or exiled or in any way destroyed…except by the legal judgment of his peers or (and) by the law of the land," it says in the Magna Carta, from the year 1215. Due process has been a thing for quite a while now

Sometimes you don't need a family office. You need a FAMILY office ... www.wsj.com/politics/elo...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Headlines from one year ago in the Rupert Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal. Good thing we voted for the law and order candidate who could clean up the crime-ridden, economic disaster America was.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

On Friday night, the federal government sent Harvard a five-page fusillade of new demands that would reshape the school’s operations, admissions, hiring, faculty and student life. It took less than 72 hours for Harvard to say no.

WATCH: @jessicatarlov.bsky.social cuts through Judge Jeanine’s gaslighting and delivers the inconvenient truth about #KilmarAbregoGarcia to Fox’s audience (and her complicit colleagues)

In this piece, we cite the great work of @rparloff.bsky.social, and add a lot of new reported detail on the suspended cop that hasn't been unearthed until now. Perhaps of interest to @qjurecic.bsky.social and @annabower.bsky.social

Trump ends promising cancer research. USA! USA! “Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Garcia was sex trafficking? Hmm. Or is she confusing him with the lead detective on Garcia's case?... "(Detective) Mendez was suspended, in early April 2019, for “providing information to a commercial sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.” newrepublic.com/article/1940...

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

It's joke level stuff. You can lie all you want from the podium. In court they said his removal was an administrative error. They're lying.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

This is a felony, by the way.
