State tells employees to report on one another for β€˜anti-Christian bias’ β€œIt’s very β€˜Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying β€œanti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Massive anti-Trump protests expected Saturday in DC and across US More than 1,000 β€˜Hands Off’ protests planned against β€˜all-out assault on our government, economy and basic rights’ Left-leaning organizations say that more than 500,000 people are expected to take to the streets to protest in Washington DC, Florida and elsewhere around the country on Saturday to oppose Donald Trump’s β€œauthoritarian overreach and billionaire-backed agenda”. MoveOn, one of the organizations planning the day of protest they’re calling Hands Off along with dozens of labor, environmental and other progressive groups, said that more than 1,000 protests are planned across the US, including at state capitols.

YOU are NOT PROTECTED when a non citizen is denied due process.

If there is no due process, how do you confirm YOU are an American?

You can’t.

Now you rot in El Salvador or whatever God forsaken hell hole you’ve been deported with no recourse or hope.

And we have a 4th one in college.
The need to knock these dastardly men off their mantle is essential!

We must keep resisting, refusing to obey, and ridiculing.
We are America. They are criminals. The GOP is done.

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.

And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

German President Steinmeier: β€œThe scene at the White House yesterday took my breath away. I would never have believed that we would ever have to defend Ukraine from the United States.”

R's, JD Vance, Trump and Putin can rot in hell.

REMINDER: Numerous, wide-ranging lawsuits against Trump, DOGE, and *ALL* of Trump's EO's, are making their way through our court system. I shared this 🎁 Article from the NYT's a while back - a litigation tracker. Please save it to your files for reference. (Some remain unaware of these cases.) ⏬

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Donald Trump, from his golden comfort, claims Zelensky isn’t ready for peace while Ukraine counts tens of thousands dead, hundreds of thousands wounded, and cities in ruins. A grotesque insult to the victimsβ€”history will remember who sided with the oppressors.

Dismissing Ukraine’s suffering while praising the aggressor isn’t just ignoranceβ€”it’s complicity. Trump’s words aren’t about peace, they’re about submission. A leader who bows to tyranny doesn’t seek peace, he enables destruction.

And the bearded bulldog without pride, Vance, did what he does bestβ€”rolled over for his master, licked his feet, and obeyed without question. Good dog.

In the same week that Trump was corrected by the French president and humiliated by the British prime minister, he met with Zelensky in yet another staged performance. But the real director of this show was elsewhere. The Kremlin wasted no time respondingβ€”with remarkable aggression.

Zelensky is a real leaderβ€”one Trump will never understand. Defending his country with patriotism, courage, and integrity, he stands firm while others bow, deflect, or play their assigned roles. That’s why the Kremlin fears him, and why Trump, lost in his delusions, will never be his equal.
