Justice Roberts: Stop doing what I gave you full authority to do! It’s now affecting me and mine! Wah! (twirls & stomps in gown) Probably.

Nothing says I am losing in the courts quite like attacking the judges… nymag.com/intelligence...

While Elon Musk is playing the victim keep this in mind: he will have deprived millions of the poorest people around the world AIDS medication and pre-digested food this year alone. Millions will die because of him. He's one of histories greatest monsters.

Breaking: Trump to sign a destructive Order onThurs to dismantle the Dept of Ed — as he also threatens to gut healthcare for 72m people & says the economic downturn he’s causing will be “worth it.”WORTH IT TO WHO? The ultra-wealthy who are getting tax breaks, while we get cuts & a plummeting economy

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

It’s time for the US to accept Trump’s election was a foreign funded coup d’état and that they are experiencing the seeding of a dictatorship.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

‘Confessions of a Hateful Leftist’ FULL POST: johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/confession...

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of the country controls $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

1/ For many Americans, deporting violent gang members will sound like a good idea, constitutional niceties be damned. They are the perfect group of people for a government test case. joycevance.substack.com/p/deportatio...

For the fifth consecutive year: We've documented widespread damage to critical habitat for Gila chub and Western yellow-billed cuckoo from herds of unauthorized cattle in Arizona’s Agua Fria National Monument. We've been fighting this issue for years: biodiv.us/4bKzAfi

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

Schumer cancels his town halls

Husband votes for Trump. Wife (a visa overstay) gets taken into ICE custody, despite working on a W-2, paying her taxes, & applying for her legal permanent residency. Husband: “I knew they were cracking down. I guess I didn’t know how it was going down.” 🫠 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

A Press Secretary who doesn’t know anything about anything except a handful of talking points, doesn’t prepare for briefings, whose reflex when she doesn’t know about a subject is always to attack the media outlet. At least Kayleigh did her homework, despite lying a lot.

“‘I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days.’”

Even if you were on Team Schumer before, you have to admit—his record against McConnell has been abysmal. Chuck has dropped the ball too many times, proving he’s no match for today’s Trump-led Republican Party. Even worse, the people believe he sold us out. It’s time for @schumer.senate.gov to go!

I'm just saying..

"The director of the program to enrich uranium took a job with NATO... "Also gone is the director of the program to modernize production of spheres of radioactive plutonium that are fitted into warheads... "The office that oversees the Los Alamos lab lost 9 staff... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

We are now living in a dangerous type of country where malicious bureaucrats think they can blithely ignore judges' rulings. They need to be held in contempt and arrested, not scolded.

Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

DOGE is plotting to cut Social Security phone support, according to leaked memo provided to Axios. The richest man in the word going after grandparents trying to get access to their own money is vile.

I mean.

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

If I had made a bet on this, I would double it today.

Violation of court order to deport a life-saving doctor. I think ICE has been assigned quotas.

I read it. It’s not.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The US Director of National Intelligence reposting a Russian propagandist in Malaysia posting lies that track Kremlin propaganda about an organization that has been a beacon of light to people around the world since 1942. We are entering a very dark place.

It's nearly impossible to describe their completely unhinged plans for the country without sounding completely unhinged.
