If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

True story bro.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 A massive crowd is gathering in DC demanding that SEIU CA President David Huerta be freed. #FreeDavidEndRaids Find your event here: bit.ly/FreeDavidEnd... PASS IT ON!

A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

Ah, the golden age.

Ah yes the epitome of manhood: typing out threats with your thumbs on tiny keyboards just like gladiators of old!

Imagine what this woman and her family went through. All for what?

This sounds like the kind of story told breathlessly by a six-year-old holding action figures.

Um . . . What?

Doug Collins couldn’t answer basic questions about the VA while pushing 83,000 job cuts. Even Republicans are sweating. This isn’t reform—it’s pure Trump-era incompetence, and Veterans will pay the price. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

He's also the president who killed things like this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Musk wants to leave because DOGE has failed to save us any tax dollars. Trump is spending $154 billion more than Biden did a year ago.

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

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

Trump can be counted on to be Classless and Clueless.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

what kind of doge disaster is this one? the nnsa kind - where they oops!ed then tried to hire people back the ebola kind - where they oops!ed then failed to hire people back the lead poisoning kind - where they oopsed! then didn't even try to hire people back www.theregister.com/2025/04/16/h...

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

What happens when a convicted felon is elected to the highest office in the land? Of course he thinks he's above the law. SCOTUS rolled out the immunity red carpet for him.

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

WHAT THE F**K!

Who did this?

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

Wisconsin! Judge Susan Crawford will work to protect your rights and freedoms. So get out there and vote today by 8pm. You can find your polling place at wisdems.org/vote. If you have any questions about voting, call or text the Voter Assistance Hotline at 608-336-3232.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

The rest of the world is Done with Donald. We'll have to scrape our way out of this horror show until Donald is Done, one lawsuit, one election, one act of resistance at a time.

Yep

People are taking things into their own hands

Trumpublican policies in action.
