A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

They've been trying to numb us for a long time. Fascism. Oppression. Genocide. All on display. They want us desensitized, to think it's just the way the world works when deep down we know it is unnatural. Don't let them take away the feeling from you. It's uncomfortable because you're human.

I had to double check that this was real and yep there's the president sharing a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced with a robot or a clone I mean CHRIST can the legacy media please normalize calling him unhinged, at the very least

Important research with major implications. I would identify one especially - a lack of a sense of community. Without community, where is the social support needed to get launched in life? No mentoring, no social networks, everyone is on their own. But that's the conservative agenda, isn't it?

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

As a former newspaper freelancer, reviewer and now author, what I find really disturbing, even scary, is what this can to do the already challenged credibility of the press. The hard right is primed to distrust the news already, this misuse of AI -- if that is what it is— is gas on the fire.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

We are. "Oh, Canada!" We thank you.

U.S. has worse wealth distribution than pre-revolutionary France did.

In the 1950s, polling on interracial marriage was at 4% approval in the United States. Loving v. Virginia is 1967. We hit an above 50% approval rating for the first time in the 1990s. In 2021, 94% of Americans approved of interracial marriage.

Some great advice on protesting

May the fourth be with you, Illinois.

May the Fourth be with you. Attack the Death Star every day. (bit.ly/theInnerHive)

Brilliant. Donny 2 Dolls fits him perfectly, I so hope it sticks!

By ordering the Columbia student's presence in his courtroom and ordering his release then and there, a federal judge robbed Trump and his team of the opportunity to defy his order, which was implemented on the spot by court officers. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

If Biden, as president, had fallen asleep at the Pope’s funeral, it would have been the top story in America for days. Trump falling asleep at the Pope’s funeral today won’t be, because our media is broken.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Thank you to everyone around the world who helped bring Tesla's net income down 71%! Now THAT is a successful boycott. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

i’m getting van hollen pilled

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

OPINION: "The local Austrians claimed they had not known about their town’s concentration camp. But a farmer who lived nearby…filed a complaint asking the Nazis either to stop 'these inhuman deeds' or do them 'where one does not see it.”"

A deafening amount of noise needs to be made about this. DEAFENING.
