"Climate breakdown – the destabilization of the entire ecological system on which our lives depend – is not a fleeting crisis one can ride out with a well-stocked arsenal and a few pallets from Costco" www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

🛑Time for us to demand they change their decision on the President’s immunity! 🛑

April 16, 2025

Here is a complete overview of the seismic ruling of Judge Boasberg against Trump. Trump clearly thinks he’s above the law and the judge will make him pay: krassencast.com/p/judge-boas...

We had 33K people tune in to this conversation. Here it is for people who couldn't catch it live. "Rebellions are built on hope." With @hcrichardson.bsky.social How Trump's Greed, Grift, and Racism Are Collapsing America's Democratic Experiment open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

As a mostly biracial penguin Government, we know a thing about targeted police raids. We recommend buying P25 capable scanners to pick up trunked/digitized police comms. ICE operates in 162-174 MHz range and utilizes less encrypted freqs when coordinating with other agencies. Uniden SDS100 is 💯

El Salvador refuses to let Democratic senator visit or speak with Kilmar Abrego Garcia: ‘We have an unjust situation here’

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

"We built the damn table- its time we had a seat at it." Well-said!

I just emailed my complaint to the Florida Bar against Pamela Jo Bondi, Florida Bar Number 886440, for blatantly ignoring a direct order from SCOTUS after a unanimous 9-0 decision ordering Kilmar Abrego-Garcia be brought back to the United States.

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

Volunteers with AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) program were abruptly ordered to pack up and go home, with little explanation. It’s part of the latest round of cuts pushed by Elon Musk.

This is leadership, this is congress working for the people.

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

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.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Are we willing to take a sledgehammer to FaceBook?

There is NOTHING inspirational about wasting millions to give a small group of wealthy people a chance to experience weightlessness. Fund Head Start and lift the weight off millions of children!

Every member of Congress should be protecting their constituents.

“But as we have focused on national security, economic competitiveness, and the integration of all subsets of the population into a technologically powered economy, we have neglected another dimension of national well-being: civic strength. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Absolutely the truth and why we are in the mess we are in now.

We ALL need to call our Congress person and ask them- what will they do if you are WRONGLY taken. Force them to answer.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Trump said again he’s open to sending U.S. citizens to a Salvadoran prison. There is no constitutional basis for this—such an act would be a direct violation of the Constitution.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.
