Turns out Ireland could single-handedly put a stop to this entire nonsense.

Fired up. Ready to go. Let’s do this Holland, Michigan. 1,200+ strong! ✊🔥🇺🇸 #handsoff #indivisible

Who did this?

These tariffs against Gilligan’s Island have especially irked Mr. Howell, as he has always been a free trade advocate.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🇺🇸 😕 www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/new...

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

WHAT THE F**K!

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

And by "great again" they meant the Depression.

Here's one statistic for you: → Net jobs created under Clinton and Obama: 33.8 million. → Net jobs created under Bush, Bush, AND Trump: 1.9 million. That is not a typo.

Important! ⤵️

Deporting people to torture camps where they have no recourse to get out even with due process is wrong.

"The Republican controlled House of Representatives in an effort to alleviate the effects of the Great Depression passed the Smoot-Hawley Act which raised tariffs... It did not work and the US sank deeper into the Great Depression."

🎯💯 Truth!

Dark Pence is back.

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.

“'Just the way he conducts himself is somebody — he repels people,' DeSantis said. 'He’s repelled people in the legislature.... and now he's going to be in Congress'...” Quite the endorsement! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

People worth standing 25 hrs and 5 min for: Widows: Seniors relying on Social Security to survive. Orphans: Kids depending on school meals to eat. Sojourners: Migrant families seeking safety. Poor: Those who need aid for food and medicine. Keep standing for them.

Donald Trump just put a 10 percent tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald, which has a population of zero people and is inhabited only by penguins.

Whoops!

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

She died in binary. That’s dedication. RIP.

The administration says that criminal immigrants can be deported to a foreign forced labor prison without a hearing that could determine if the person is actually a criminal or actually an immigrant and that if it makes a mistake it can’t be rectified because the person is now outside their control.

What kind of country responds to a woman who’s been assaulted and is asking the police for help by deporting her? Donald Trump's America. Absolutely despicable. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Declare martial law, cancel elections, control power. That's one way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is what corruption looks like.

Huizenga finally came out of his office to talk to his constituents that had been showing up outside for 3 Fridays at noon. He said he supports tRump , a coward who backs Putin’s illegal invasion and murder of thousands of Ukrainians and kidnapped children to Russia. Shame on Bill Huizenga.

This David Barton? The one who once lied about having an earned doctorate?

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.

With Trump its all about the spectacle and cruelty. Like a bad wrestlemania cage match except that real people are getting hurt. Please read my latest reflection on spectacle, cruelty and the dangerous fascist playbook. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-the...

This is our country now. Are you proud? Or are you furious?

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?
