It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

Santa Cruz, CA represented at the #NoKings rally and march today! My guess is 10,000 folks of all ages out there! #resistfascism

"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"

Why is FDT using a social media platform to DM his cabinet member anyway!??? WTF.

Don’t poke the bear - Yes on 50

Vote YES on CA Prop 50 in November to support California’s temporary redistricting, and defend our national constitutional republic against GOP fascism and Texas gerrymandering! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙 #YesOn50 #ResistFascism

rise up. protest. VOTE them out 💙

Were votes miscounted or ignored in key counties? In Rockland County, New York, several voters testified under oath that their ballots didn't match the official results. Senate candidate Diane Sare reportedly lost votes in precinct after precinct: • In one district, 9 voters claimed they voted for Sare, but only 5 votes were recorded. In another, 5 voters swore they supported her, but only 3 votes appeared. It wasn't just third-party candidates who saw odd results.

It wasn't just third-party candidates who saw odd results. In multiple Democratic-leaning areas, Kamala Harris's name was reportedly missing from the top of the ballot entirely. Voters said they couldn't even find her name to select. These same areas had high support for Democrats like Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, yet Harris received zero votes— a statistical anomaly that defies traditional voting patterns. Even more shocking: Donald Trump received 750,000 more votes than Republican Senate candidates in these districts. As reported by Dissent in Bloom, a political Substack, "That's not split-ticket voting. That's a mathematical anomaly."

Report and lawsuit showing voting machines tampered with and voting anomalies suggesting Kamala Harris would have won a fair election.

I skimmed the article… didn’t see where, specifically? Please share details. Where should people avoid and/or not spend their money?

Sounds like all active copyright holders should sue Musk/doge over this, eh?

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights

It should be illegal for all law enforcement and agents to cover their faces while on duty. Their identities should be in full view, body cams on, initial and last name, rank, and agency affixed to their clothing.

We Have More Power Than Trump Wants Us To Believe — Here's What You Can Do From Marc | Here is a list of what each of us can do to stand up for democracy and defend our elections.

There are things every one of us can do in our daily lives to help ensure free and fair elections — and, in doing so, limit Trump’s power. Some actions are small — so small that you might dismiss them as unimportant. Don’t. Every important journey begins with a single step.

Earlier this year, Utah and Idaho’s Republican-controlled legislatures passed bans on flying the rainbow pride flags and other “unofficial flags” on government property. Leaders in both states’ capital cities, Salt Lake City and Boise, recently devised an inventive workaround – changing their official flags. Salt Lake City’s mayor, Erin Mendenhall, proposed the adoption of three new city flags, which were unanimously approved by the city council. All three have the city’s traditional sego lily design, respectively imposed over a pride flag, a trans flag and a Juneteenth commemoration flag. “Our city flags are powerful symbols representing Salt Lake City’s values,” said Mendenhall in a press release. “I want all Salt Lakers to look up at these flags and be reminded that we value diversity, equity and inclusion – leaving no doubt that we are united as a city and people, moving forward together.”

Salt Lake City and Boise adopt official pride flags to skirt Republican bans! 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🏳️‍⚧️🏴‍☠️

LA’s bustling ports hit by Trump tariffs: ‘Everyone in the US will feel this’ Traffic is down at America’s busiest port complex – and anxious dock workers are fearful of further economic harm

“This week… the port is shining a little less brightly. As a result of the Trump administration’s decision to subject imports to a minimum 10% tariff… roughly a third of the traffic at the port has ground to a halt, according to Eugene Seroka, the chief executive officer of the Port of Los Angeles.”

BREAKING White House: Amazon's Reported Plans To Show Tariff Price Increase A 'Hostile' Act Derek Saul Forbes Staff Apr 29, 2025, 10:05am EDT TOPLINE The White House took aim at Amazon on Tuesday after the e-commerce giant reportedly prepared to directly display to consumers the price increases associated with President Donald Trump's tariffs, sending shares of the Jeff Bezos-founded retailer downward.

All retailers, including Amazon, should show the cost of the Drumpf’s tariffs! If they are so great, let them shine! 🌞🙄

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Every college and university should do this to remind Americans that attacks on these institutions are actually attacks on all of us.

The most important thing for anyone to know right now whether citizen or non-citizen.... if you find yourself detained by ANY law enforcement, no matter who they are or what they say do NOT SIGN ANYTHING without a lawyer who is advocating for you being present!

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Absolutely every business should do this.
