At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Here's the criminal complaint filed against the Milwaukee judge arrested by the feds in Wisconsin. She was accused of trying to help an illegal immigrant avoid being detained by federal immigration agents. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Once you disregard the legal rights of immigrants, everything is on the table Today, they are arresting judges Tomorrow it could be Democratic members of Congress

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

“Whoa. Tesla is doing really bad. It must be because I’m not there enough.” - A deluded megalomaniac

When they taught us about the Great Depression in school, I remember learning that the market didn’t just suddenly crash on Black Tuesday, but was preceded by a series of wild spikes and declines due to investor speculation. Not sure why that memory popped up today.

The problem with Capitalism is that unlike Monopoly the money has never ever been evenly distributed. It has all always been held by a fraction of the richest 1%.

It’s long past time for the working class to come together.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

This one seems perfect on the 31st anniversary of Nixon’s death… @johnwdean.bsky.social

JUST IN: The MeidasTouch Podcast Tops Charts for Third Straight Month with 107.3 Million Downloads—More Than Joe Rogan, Candace Owens, and Ben Shapiro COMBINED, per Podscribe Data

In March, 48 people were arrested in New Mexico, according to an ICE press release. Why is nothing known about who was arrested or their whereabouts?

Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure? You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation. You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Pete Hegseth just ordered the installation of a makeup studio at the Pentagon for him to prepare for his television appearances, which will cost thousands of taxpayer dollars to build.

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

Take that, Bill Maher.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

So let me get this straight: Hegseth transmits details of US military action against Houthis on Signal. Then fires random people for leaking that he had done this. Then he did same thing to his family & random lawyers. Who's he going to fire this time? His wife? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

History, sadly repeats itself 😞

Yes, I see.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

It's past time for Pete Hegseth to resign or be fired.

An underrated aspect of human colleagues is that they can tell you when you shouldn’t post something.

If you think the J6 defendants didn’t get due process you should take that up with the high level DoJ officials in your administration that represented them.

Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day. In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages. It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

Impeach the President.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

OMG

This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

By distracting us with fake terrorism, this administration is inviting the real thing. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

The UK banks are extracting £80bn a year profit from the UK This is by having their Mortgage and Loan rates too high and their savings interest too low, and they don't compete Because of this they are able to give all their CEO's 40% pay rises The banks should be nationalised.

25th Amendment time?! 👇 Whatcha thinkin’?! 🤔

Only one of these men has a criminal conviction—and his name isn’t Kilmar Garcia!

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?
