Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.

Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.”

See where this is going?

Maxwell says she is innocent.

Maxwell says Trump is innocent.

Maxwell says the victims are liars.

That is what you have to believe to accept her as credible. All of it.

Trump’s cruel mass detention and deportation agenda has reached a previously unimaginable scope and scale with ICE planning to double its detention capacity by the end of this year to detain nearly 110,000 people. Texas alone will have the capacity to detain at least 37,000 people.

The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her.

The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.

It's bizarre to me that the government seems to be doing the opposite of what I was warned it would do as an evangelical teenager. How will the religious right claim persecution if the government keeps giving them more and more privileges?

So true.

To be honest, I find Numb by Linkin Park to be even more relatable now.

It's a cult.

Honor a Supreme Court order to return a legal resident unlawfully deported to El Salvador: two months

Build a concentration camp: one week

This administration’s priorities could not be more clear. Cruelty and racism over justice and the rule of law, every time.

I couldn't even wear pants to church growing up.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Being sick on a weekend is a scam.

I keep trying to get into Haim. They're very talented, but I just can't seem to get there.

PBS funding cuts: A blow to children who need it most “The bottom line: We want high-quality public media that's accessible to kids."

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most.

With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

this administration believes certain people are undeserving of humanity, and seeks to demean them, punish them, and send them to their deaths. It’s deeply evil. We must stand arm in arm with our LGBTQ+ siblings today and always.

Across the country we are seeing people coming together PEACEFULLY, from all ages and backgrounds. We are pushing back against the lies that suggest otherwise.

For those who are at or attended #NoKings actions: What is the most beautiful thing you saw today? We want to see your photos and stories.

I think that's the point.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country.

An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

That was my exact thought too

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba:

"Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Do public libraries help mitigate crime? Evidence from Kansas City, MO - Journal of Cultural Economics We examine the relationship between public libraries and local crime rates.

Wanna reduce crime?

Open more libraries.

I can't get over how much I enjoyed Sinners.

FEMA Is Ending Door-to-Door Canvassing in Disaster Areas As it shifts responsibility for recovery efforts to local authorities, FEMA workers will stop knocking on doors to provide aid to survivors in disaster areas, per a memo obtained by WIRED.

Ending door-to-door canvassing, one FEMA worker says, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people ... people who are elderly or with disabilities or lack of transportation and are unable to reach Disaster Recovery Centers."

The worst thing you can do right now is hide or go quiet.

Stand up and talk back.

If I know anything about myself, it's that I feel really uncomfortable around strangers unless they work at an independent bookstore.

@youdontpod.bsky.social I am stressed, so I downloaded every episode that came up when I searched "mothman." It helped a bit.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.
