This is the message! A better world *is* possible. Life is not a zero sum game.

"First, Trump is perfectly willing to destroy the economy as he awaits political favors. After all, it’s not him suffering the consequences of a cratering economy. Second, while Tim Cook can afford to pay him off, it’s the mom & pop shops that can’t petition the king for carveouts being sacrificed."

Some lunatic befriended a wolf 20,000 years ago and now my best friend is a potato with ears

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

New records reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought thousands of dollars in stock right before Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused markets to surge.

If Abrego Garcia is dead, the Trump administration isn’t pretending he’s alive because the care about optics. They need him alive to get the ruling they want from SCOTUS: that Trump doesn’t have to actually bring anyone back from CECOT that was accidentally sent there.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

He separated families for God’s sake. 1400 children are still “misplaced.” He didn’t give a shit about them, he doesn’t give a shit about a brown man he wrongly imprisoned in another country and he sure doesn’t give a shit about you and I.

I can’t believe he’s not wearing a tie. Outrageous display of disrespect.

I’m headed to Rochester to get an update on Mayo Clinic’s multi-billion dollar expansion. We’re ushering in the next generation of health care innovation - and creating union construction jobs along the way.

There’s so much data showing that inequality is bad for mental & physical health, environmental sustainability, the economy and democracy. Who is it good for? Oligarchs and autocrats.

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.

El Salvador President Bukele says he won’t be releasing Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the US... https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-white-house-el-salvador-kilmar-abrego-garcia-ad338d6b4558a6aba80e8290fd3eece9

At this point, Judge Xinis should order the immediate return under threat of contempt and let the Supreme Court tell the Administration otherwise.

Some of our fun finds volunteering yesterday. I swear nature hikes are keeping me sane right now. So thankful the insects are back in full force. #texasmasternaturalist #arthropods #beetles #insects #bugs #iNaturalist #iNat #setx

Calling for broadcasters to lose their licenses because they ran negative stories on him is what a dictator, not a president, does.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I blame Chief Justice Roberts. He clearly has no idea who he is dealing with in Trump. He is allowing Alito and Thomas to frog-march America into full-blown fascism. The April 10 SCOTUS order was an abomination—and I and many others _instantly_ saw (and said) that it would lead us where we are now.
