Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

Harvard FTW: "The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government."

This and the anticipation of other exemptions to follow will reinforce the view that it is only a matter of time until the main narrative on the tariff regime will be how and when to secure concessions. #economy #markets #tariffs

Welcome to Bluesky Mohamed ! If you don't know him, he is literally one of the smartest minds on international trade and economics !

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Here we go again. DeSantis Administration threatening to remove our local elected officials for speaking up in support of our immigrant communities.

MAGA is going to HATE this ad. Naturally you should share it everywhere. #MAGABlowingYourTaxes

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Jeffries: "So many of these people are crooks, liars, and frauds, and Marjorie Taylor Greene is of course exhibit A ... we do need to change the law so that sitting members of Congress cannot trade stock. Period. Full stop."

You don't get to deport whoever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want. That shit is not gonna fly.

Gross: The GOP is planning $5.3 TRILLION in tax cuts for their Sugar Daddy donors. And WE are going to PAY for them through tariffs and cuts to our healthcare. #MAGABlowingYourTaxes

Another plane crash? A small plane that was headed to Columbia County Airport in Hudson, New York crashed in a field killing 6 people onboard, including Karenna Groff, the 2022 NCAA woman of the year. I’m sure that guy from The Real World is on top of it. 😔

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of NC Alliance for Retired Americans and VoteVets AF, my firm has filed an appeal to the Fourth Circuit to block the Republicans' efforts to steal a North Carolina state Supreme Court election. Follow Democracy Docket for full details. www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

Director John Ratcliffe broke the law. He must resign.

It’s the evil laugh at the end for us 😕

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

The president who in 2020 had unidentified federal agents deployed against protesters is now encouraging a foreign dictator to build more prisons to accommodate "homegrown" "criminals," as he ignores a court order to effect the return of a guy sent to a foreign prison without any due process.

Its true that America citizens can’t legally be deported. It’s equally clear that this administration doesn’t care about what the law says. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I can’t believe he’s not wearing a tie. Outrageous display of disrespect.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

Governor Jared Polis (D-Colorado) has repealed the ban on marriage equality in Colorado, just in case the US Supreme Court overturns Obergefell v. Hodges.

This is reality

Trump orders government to stop tracking cancers in U.S. firefighters. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

This should read: Breaking news- Fragile ego orange monster calls for suppression of the first amendment. I say my @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social cohorts should make sure to share the ravings of the oh so competent fearless leader. Repeat after me “person, woman, man, camera, TV” #fucktrump

Finally resistance from Harvard!

Hey reporters: it’s not “mistakenly deported,” it’s “kidnapped and disappeared within an overseas prison camp.” You have a responsibility to get it right, not to avoid hurting people’s feelings with the truth.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

@vanhollen.senate.gov is stepping up and doing the thing I said senators should do: go to El Salvador personally. Hell yeah. As a resident of MD, today I praise my senator for having courage.

NEW: The govt has filed it's daily status report on Abrego Garcia. ICE official Evan Katz declares Abrego Garcia was removed illegally, but that's okay now because the government has declared he's a member of MS13, and they have no further updates. WOW. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.
