Tucker Carlson departs Fox News, pushed out by Rupert Murdoch Tucker Carlson's last program was Friday, Fox News said. His ouster is probably related to a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer.

The gov’t didn't pressure Fox to fire Tucker Carlson, but Trump's FCC threatened to yank ABC’s license if it didn’t fire Kimmel. Trump says the press is "not allowed" to criticize him & should have their licenses revoked if they do. These are blatant 1st Amendment violations. Even Carlson agrees.

TLDR: Decades of serious nonpartisan research by multiple organizations shows that we have a big problem with young, white, cisgender male right-wing violence.

Because so much misinformation is circulating about violence in the US, I want to share some evidence-based figures to help us all understand the problem better. I'll link to the research, but the reports are long. If you don't have time to read them, here are some charts that highlight key facts.

US citizen wrongfully arrested by border patrol in Arizona held for nearly 10 days Official claimed Jose Hermosillo, who was visiting Arizona, was ‘without the proper immigration documents’

US citizen & ABQ resident Hermosillo got lost in Tucson. BP arrested him & said they found him 70mi away, entering the US illegally. He sat in jail 10 days, till his family located him & showed his birth certificate. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/20/us-citizen-jose-hermosillo-border-patrol

US citizens are being detained by ICE & ordered to self-deport. CBP agents in tactical gear are boarding trains & questioning all passengers. Better start carrying your birth certificate/passport. The Trump admin has 0 respect for the Constitution. Anybody could end up in a foreign prison.

This is market manipulation and insider trading—serious federal crimes—perpetrated at the expense of the American people. Our president was already a felon, and now he's an even bigger one.

Last Sat., 5.2 million Americans in 1,200+ small towns & big cities across the USA protested the GOP’s destruction of our democracy, economy & civil rights. There’s no mandate for this nonsense. We’re just getting started. See you in the streets again on April 19. www.theatlantic.com/photo/2025/0...

Why do Repubs keep saying folks protesting their unAmerican BS are paid? They can't imagine people would oppose their theft & destruction? So pathetic. F/ELON are the ones paying people to show up for them. P.S. If liberal protesters are getting paid, someone owes me a LOT of back wages.

Top Trump officials mistakenly divulged military plans to journalist Top Trump administration officials, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, mistakenly included a journalist in a messaging group discussing strikes against Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis, according to a firsthand account by The Atlantic magazine.

But her emails.

About 1,000 people showed up last night to the AG forum in N. St. Paul. The stories filled me with rage; the determination of ordinary people filled me with hope. The message: SHOW UP for each other. Be loud. Be persistent. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

MN friends, please call & write your MN legislators. MN Repubs have introduced a bill to add "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to a list of mental illnesses to pathologize people who speak out against Trump. CALL THEM OUT. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.p...

Democrats brought the US economy back from a Republican-led disaster & handed a strong economy to the GOP—who are, as always, destroying it. These assessments come from the famously conservative WSJ & Economist. Republicans are ruining everything for regular people so they can enrich billionaires.

Um, no. He’s a do-nothing with no vision and no plan who likes to blame everyone else for his shortcomings. Hard pass. We’ve had enough of him.

Thanks a lot, Republicans.

Trump is erasing from military databases 1000s of images of women, LGBTQ+ folks, & people of color who served b/c these images hurt his white manbaby feelings.

In protest, here's my Auntie Oliva, who served in the South Pacific in WWII, & my book The Tuskegee Airmen. apnews.com/article/dei-...

I have no idea WTF is wrong with me. I literally wake up in the middle of the night with that dang song in my head. I’m even dreaming it!

Thank god I’m not the only one with this problem. Except for me the current soundtrack is the screamer “Workin’ on a Buildin’” by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. Not sure which is worse!

MN friends, Keith Ellison is hosting several forums over the next few weeks. Come learn what AGs across the country are doing to fight for democracy & be in solidarity as we chart a course forward. For more info and to RSVP, click the link below. See you there! www.ag.state.mn.us/2025forums/

Our elected officials work for US. They have a duty to listen to us and answer our questions and serve our interests, NOT THEIRS.
