I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Scott campaigned for Trump and was vying to run as his 2024 vice president. His silence underscores the fine line Black conservatives have to walk between their own interests and loyalty to the party as the administration wages a broader war against the government’s diversity-focused initiatives.

He comes back for more……

If Trump wants to onshore manufacturing jobs as he has repeatedly said, then there is no deal to be made. Tariffs need to be huge and in place for a decade. However, if he wants to use the tariffs as leverage to induce them to bribe him and his cronies, then there’s lots of wiggle room.

when this era is documented in history, the gaslighting of ghouls like miller will be a big part

Pride before the fall.

Leader @schumer.senate.gov ranks dead last in public confidence on the economy—20 points behind Trump. Yet he still thinks he can stop a budget that hands tax cuts to billionaires and guts Medicaid. People are terrified for their future. We need leadership that’ll actually fight back.

Donald Trump is more concerned about protecting Teslas from vandalism than protecting our kids from gun violence.

The plans the WH is considering are not those seen in other high-income countries that aim to facilitate work & childrearing. They are not investing in childcare infrastructure or paid parental leave programs. They want to return to a time when women were dependent on men. Pronatalism is sexist.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. Trump thinks he can bully everyone into submission, but he can’t bully Adam Smith, who deals in reality. Markets know tariffs are taxes, and taxes are anti-growth. The Trump tariffs are the biggest economic policy mistake in decades ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

As long as Donald Trump desecrates and defiles the White House with his despicable presence, there should be massive protests at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — every damn day.

A reminder that Trump is governing as if he’s never leaving. Think about it. All these partisan changes he’s making to the federal government would work against Republicans if a Democrat ever came back into office. If.

100% correct!! Jasmine Crockett Says Abrego Garcia a ‘Lot Less Criminal Than the Person That’s Sitting in the White House’ www.mediaite.com/tv/democrat-...

We should listen to our elders.

About 350 people participated in today’s Hands Off! Rally in very red Ephrata, PA (rural Lancaster County).

Trump fabricated a photo of Mr. Garcia with an MS-13 tattoo on his hand in an effort to keep him in prison. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCIST regimes do. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-fabr...

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this.  Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program. Hello?

Also proud to have been a signatory. The time to organize and speak up is here. Many of the signatories are high-profile Rs and elected officials, including some from the 1st Trump administration. The NYT covers here: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/u...

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

NEW: Mack Trucks will lay off between 250 and 350 workers at its Lehigh Valley Operations center in Pennsylvania, citing economic uncertainty caused by Trump’s tariffs, a company spokesperson said Thursday. End this reckless trade war now.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

If you're not afraid, you're not paying attention…

Holocaust survivor confronts Trump’s ICE Director. “History is NOT on your side!”

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

History would remember it as the day America became “great” again.

On April 18, the Old North Church—where two lanterns once sparked the American revolution—will ring its bells for democracy. I hope houses of worship across the country will join them in this nationwide call to protect our freedom. Learn how your congregation can take part.

Bingo, Karen.

Let’s be clear - they’re not just deleting DEI policies and code words, they’re deleting actual people of color and women. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Current @newyorker.com cover by Frank Viva, inspired, he says, by Charlie Chaplin’s 1940 movie, "The Great Dictator.” www.newyorker.com/culture/cove...

Corporate media reports Trump slamming the Fed chair Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates without noting that Trump went bankrupt 6 times, that he inherited a strong economy from Biden and tanked it and that his tariffs are killing what is left of our economy.

Oh, please just shut up

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

The right-wing: “Kilmar’s wife once filed a restraining order, so it’s fine he was thrown into a foreign prison.” Cool story, fascists. You elected a convicted rapist. You made an accused rapist Secretary of Defense. You just let the Tate brothers back into the U.S. You don’t care about women.

This makes me happy…

For the first time in Army history, a woman service member, First Lt. Gabrielle White, has completed the grueling Best Ranger Competition. The annual three-day, 30-event marathon includes helicopter missions, land navigation, weapon qualification and various physical tests.

This is everything you need to know right here… Not only is the Trump administration not asking for Kilmar Abrego García’s return—they’re paying El Salvador to keep him locked up at CECOT, one of the most notorious in the country. Bottom line: Trump WANTS to keep him there. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS‼️

Folsom, California is in a Republican county. It has a population of just 85,000. Last night, 30,000 came out to see AOC & Bernie, having waited in a line that stretched for 3 miles. Whatever your politics, at a time when they’re not running for anything, this says something.

Even Musk and Melania would’ve run a high risk of being detained under the Trump rules. The new column from @jilldlawrence.bsky.social. www.thebulwark.com/p/america-sh...

So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.
