3 panel comic by irregulargalaxydudes. A chicken asks, “How you doing, chief?” A giraffe replies, “Besides the ceaseless rage that our society is built on suffering, division and a ruling class of cold unfeeling sociopaths who will grind each and every one of us into dust to eke out a few pennies more to line their gilded vaults? I’m fine, how are you?” Chicken: “Same.”

Literally every convo I have these days.

Soooo….ummm…. Are we great yet? Cause mediocrity is looking alright to me.

I love your shamrock!!!

The United States are on fire. I’m trying to find joy in everyday.

Remember folks: the revolution will not be televised.

It's one of those phrases I didn't get as a kid, but now, hoo boy.

Us too!!! It makes me so happy when they return.

dustin on Twitter: “look at the resources they're willing to commit to terrorize people but not feed or house people”

True story bro.

An info graphic describing items and ingredients for defending against a tear gas attack.

From the Occupy Wall Street Movement in 2020-how to defend yourself against tear gas. Ya know, just in case.

The didn’t come for just the librarians, they came for THE LIBRARIAN. Fuck all the people who helped make this presidency possible.

I’ll be there next Monday. Family member has an interview with immigration. 🫤

If you take anything away from my post, I hope it's this:

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

WTF?

Trump supporters will never leave him. Only those against the administrations actions and policies have the power to enforce the law and stop him.

The CBP One app was launched in Oct. 2020. Who was president during that time, folks?

“I was just following orders”

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

My name is __, zip code __. I'm calling as your constituent to express alarm at the Abrego Garcia case. Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court by not bringing Garcia back. If Trump can do this, then he is unquestionably a dictator and American self-governance is over. What can we do to stop this?

This just in from The AP, reflecting the fact that it prevailed over the Trump WH in court last week:

"Our journalists were blocked from the Oval Office today. We expect the White House to restore AP's participation in the pool as of today, as provided in the injunction order."

@schumer.senate.gov DO SOMETHING!

I have family members that are terrified right now. You wait so long for an interview…..

In addition to violating Mr. Mahdawi’s First Amendment rights, the Rubio Determination and Mr. Mahdawi’s unlawful detention also violates Mr. Mahdawi’s statutory rights and due process rights. PARTIES 8. Petitioner Mohsen Mahdawi is a Palestinian who was born and raised in a refugee camp in the West Bank. He is a lawful permanent resident of the United States and has been for the last ten years. He is a recent student of Columbia University, with an expected graduation date of May 2025. He has been admitted to a Master’s program at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (“SIPA”), to begin in the fall of 2025.

After growing up in a refugee camp, Mr. Mahdawi felt compelled to advocate for Palestinian human rights upon moving to the United States. 22. Mr. Mahdawi is also a committed Buddhist and believes in non-violence and empathy as a central tenet of his religion. In fall of 2021, he became the president of the Columbia University Buddhist Association and led it for two years. 23. In fall of 2023, Mr. Mahdawi co-founded the Palestinian Student Union (“Dar”) at Columbia University which “serves to engage with and celebrate Palestinian culture, history, and identity.” Mr. Mahdawi co-founded this organization with Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian lawful permanent resident who was also recently detained by ICE for his expressive conduct related to Palestine.

Mr. Mahdawi appeared in numerous televised interviews and print news articles regarding the military campaign in Gaza and related protests. In December of 2023, Mr. Mahdawi appeared on 60 Minutes where he shared that, as a child, he watched an Israeli soldier shoot and kill his best friend in the West Bank. 27. Throughout his time as a student and a leader of Dar and the Columbia University Buddhist Association, Mr. Mahdawi was always willing to engage in dialogue with people whose views and beliefs differed from his own. Mr. Mahdawi believed, and continues to believe, that more speech is the solution to disagreement, rather than less, and that empathy and understanding through communication are a way to resolve conflicts peacefully.

…and a peaceful political solution. Mr. Mahdawi gave speeches at several of these protests. In his speeches, Mr. Mahdawi advocated for Palestinian human rights, a permanent ceasefire, and a peaceful resolution that affirmed the human dignity of all. 25. During one protest, Mr. Mahdawi vocally denounced an unaffiliated passerby who made an antisemitic comment, chanting “shame on him”. Mr. Mahdawi stated that “we are against 2:25-cv-00389 Document 1 Filed 04/14/25 Page 6 of 19 7 antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The confrontation was documented by the Columbia Spectator

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who:
–has green card
–was Columbia Buddhist club president
–saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier
–said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

@markwarner.bsky.social @Tim Kaine Where are the checks and balances in our government?

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.

A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.
