The text says: “In case you missed it, this sycophant bootlicker is trying to extort Minnesota of their voter rolls, in exchange for calling off their armed ICE goons. It’s almost like stoking violence in Minnesota was part of their master plan to rig the 2026 election.” Below the text is a photo of a blonde woman in a dark blazer seated at a hearing table with a microphone, looking forward; the background is blurred.

Alex Pretti’s last words: “Don’t touch her!” “Are you okay?” Renee Good’s last words: “I’m really not mad at you dude…” And this administration wants you to believe these fellow Americans were “domestic terrorists.” This must end. Abolish ICE.

I don’t have a manifesto or philosophy to post. Just profound grief for what we’ve lost as a nation. They killed a nurse in cold blood. His last act was helping a woman who was shoved to the ground by federal agents. She says his last words were, are you ok? -Internal Medicine Physician, Denver

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

"Pertussis, or whooping cough, is now spreading at a rate the U.S. hasn’t seen since vaccines were introduced in 1948."

It's No Coincidence. Public health funding is being slashed. Vaccine misinformation is spreading. Fewer people are getting vaccinated.

This is the result.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing that will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

A shameless plug for the TV show “Andor” but it was just May the 4th and this quote felt like it was talking right to us.

Goodnight friends. 💚 Get some rest.

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social --

Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

What to know about nationwide "Hands Off" protests on April 5 "The fight for democracy is not a left versus right issue," one organizer said. "It's an up versus down issue."

Be safe everyone.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

The Makeup Artist Donald Trump Deported Under the Alien Enemies Act The President has invoked the law to send Venezuelans to prison in El Salvador without due process—and, in many cases, under false pretenses.

In Venezuela, Andry José Hernández Romero, who is gay and skeptical of the country’s authoritarian regime, was a target for abuse. He sought asylum in America—then was deported under the Alien Enemies Act.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I like dystopian fiction
I dislike dystopian reality.
Make Dystopia Fiction Again.

Cory Booker is 100% with us:

“What other Americans are doing, they’re not waiting for us in Congress to lead. They’ve decided to take matters into their own hands and do something different. Those people were demanding that I catch up—to try and do like they’re doing.”

He gets it, folks.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

It's easy to feel like we're giving up our country without a fight.

But don't be deceived by polls & media gaslighting. There is a groundswell of resistance rising. The "Fight Oligarchy" tour just packed 15K seats in AZ. We will take our country back

Goodnight friends. Keep the faith✊Get some rest

We stan Bernie and AOC 👏👏👏👏👏

We are a country full of people who do not habitually seek information and do not question the partiality of news sources. Complacency and laziness will be our undoing. A functioning democracy requires an educated public with critical thinking skills. The media just adds fuel to this fire.

A tweet from a user named Annie (@AnnieForTruth) reads, "Sad but true. 😢" and includes an image of Pete Buttigieg speaking at a podium. The image has a quote attributed to him that states: "Today, our country is demonstrably less free, less secure, less democratic — and less prosperous — than it was just ten weeks ago."

Pete may be gay, but he’s a straight talker.
