Kill the Crypto Bill too

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding.

That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

She should never have been confirmed.

Statement by Governor Phil Murphy on the Arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. Over the past few months, Mayor Baraka, as well as advocates, faith leaders, and members of our Congressional delegation, have protested the opening of a private immigration detention center in the city of Newark. Four years ago, I was proud to sign a law banning private immigration detention centers in New Jersey. And just last week. my Administration was leading the fight to defend that law before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Mayor Baraka is an exemplary public servant who has always stood up for our most Vulnerək. neighbors. am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Get their names.

Also ChatGPT made up researchers, taxonomies, and species of birds that were plants, getting more and more elaborate with every additional prompt. Just reading the threads of all of this just for fun manipulation convinced me to never ever use it, not even casually

The legal basis for Trump’s mass deportations is entirely a lie.

One Hundred Days of Republican Complicity Read more here.

While it is understandable to focus attention on Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trump’s actions is a mistake—both legally and strategically.

A fucking dictatorship.

House GOP votes to allow ICE to deport even US citizens! They voted AGAINST protecting citizens from unlawful detention. Demand your Senator stop this: bit.ly/hellorep. Join us in the streets for May Day to defend democracy: www.FiftyFifty.one

YouTube video by Russian Media Monitor Russian state TV compares Trump to Hitler

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV experts assert that Russia is not interested in a ceasefire and should instead resort to an escalation. They describe Americans as unsavory characters with whom they have to engage—akin to the USSR signing a pact with Hitler.

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

A Rolling Stone magazine headline reads: “DEPORTATION DON. TRUMP HAS NOW DEPORTED MULTIPLE U.S. CITIZEN CHILDREN WITH CANCER.” Subheadline: “Two families — among them three U.S. citizens aged two, four, and seven — were abruptly deported under ‘troubling circumstances,’ says the ACLU of Louisiana.” The article is by Charisma Madarang and Lorena O’Neil, dated April 26, 2025.

End the quotas, dammit.

Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009.

California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61.

No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

12 UC Berkeley students' visas restored by ICE in nationwide reversal At UC Berkeley, 12 students have had their status restored today after 23 were terminated since April 4.

One of the happiest updates I’ve written since I started following this story. 12 students back in status and maybe more to come. Across the country, students are saying their SEVIS is back.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.
