Peru’s former President and First Lady have been sentenced to 15 years in prison for money laundering. The orange felon with 34 felony convictions committed sedition, insurrection, espionage, treason and fraud and instead of being sent to prison he was sent to the White House.

Happy Friday (Junior)! 🌞 We’re diving into the leaked HHS budget (spoiler: it’s bad) — and how YOU can speak up for public health and push back on creeping tyranny. Plus: fun facts, some hope, maybe even a cat meme or two 🐱💥 Remember: we’re in this together. Stay loud, kind, and human. 💪💚

Russian strikes on Kryvyi Rih, Kherson, Sumy, Odesa, Dnipro and many other Ukrainian cities are strikes on civilians. Deliberate strikes at locations where people are gathered. The Geneva Convention defines this as war crimes⤵️

If you enjoy Bluesky here's another great gathering place!

Tomorrow I’ll be calling all of my representatives to demand that they call for RFK jr’s immediate resignation.

And yet another instance of disappearing people. Sharing for awareness. This is not ok. fb.watch/z0HfDNIPhq/?

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

I know this is woke DEI, but could we have a national economic policy that's something other than the minute-by-minute whims of a deranged and malevolent old man?

The Trump White House, two days ago.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Non-citizens trying to renter the country are being seized when they go through customs. They even held a lawyer of a deported Palestine protestor bc they “know who he represents” until he gave up his contacts. How long till they start to target citizens at airports?

i wonder who Trump told about his tariffs pause in advance 🤔 would've been very lucrative information to have

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

boosting because good and we need more good

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Challenge accepted…

11 million out of 300 million people is not a big ask, you can do it. Take the quoted post and copy it or make your own version, ask your family and friends to join. We only need 3.5% of the US population to commit to a general strike and to make the oligarchy kneel. Let’s get it done by May. #3E

People are paying attention

WILL SPEND HER LIFE TRYING TO EXPLAIN HER ACTIONS TO HER CHILDREN

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

What happened this week in the market because of Donald Trump's tariffs is just the beginning. There are fears of a recession on the horizon and taxes on working families going up — all self-inflicted by the President.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social breaks it down.

My parents? tricked me into student loans & forced me to pay them beat us took my teenage income to pay the mortgage tortured us my father raped my brother coke heads massive racists gun violence alcoholics abusers EVEN THEY GOT US VACCINATED EVEN THEY GOT US VACCINATED EVEN THEY GOT US VACCINATED

It can’t be said enough how right Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were. About everything.

Asked and answered.

Seems like this should’ve been a bigger deal. 🤷🏼‍♂️ www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“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.”

instead of spending $300m on tv ads no one watches, maybe next cycle the Dem-aligned PACs could pay a few hundred unemployed ex-investigative journalists just to track down and out every pedophile Republican running for office

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Yes!

INCREDIBLE: Literally MILLIONS of people took part in “Hands Off!” protests against Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally today, organized by a pro-democracy movement in response to what they call a “hostile takeover” and attack on American rights and freedoms. #HandsOff

newspapers are still bad at covering protests. They’re late to the game, they’re not sure how to write about, they default to what happened early in day or just in their city. Big dailies don’t put big picture writers on job. 3-5 million people rallied all over country today. That’s fucking huge

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Hey everyone! I need you to do be a BIG favor and follow my brother here. He's running for the Texas Legislature and trying to take away a red seat, so he needs your support. And yes, he's actually my brother with a different last name. He's smarter than me.
