incredible: Post Malone to resurrect George Jones for new country collab “Cowboys Make-a Da Money”

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Judge Sessions is right. Neither Rumeysa Ozturk or anyone else in America should be in jail for authoring an op-ed critical of Israel, or on any subject.

Trump and colleagues should read the Constitution and, especially, the First Amendment.

Ozturk must be released immediately.

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich.

that shit abby pulled on joel last week was terrible and i hated watching it but also i can think of at least a dozen u.s. politicians off the top of my head that i would actively enjoy watching it happen to

A stacked bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Most Americans would prefer to be shown the share of purchase prices that goes toward tariffs."

So far, Trump has... 

-Fired federal workers who investigate firefighter deaths 

-Rolled back a rule that would have protected miners from contracting black lung

-Planned to shut down 11 of OSHA’s regional offices

Don’t believe his pro-worker posturing for a second.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."
 
This is a war crime.
 
We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.

Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”

What happened today with Abrego Garcia is a call out to all of us to continue pushing to take back our country. We do not have to concede defeat. We have to play to win. We have to fight to win.

We served national forests under both parties, and know today our public lands are in danger (Opinion) Divesting our public lands from public ownership would be a grievous error.

It’s a few days old, but this is yet another warning from another corner of the govt. www.denverpost.com/2025/04/13/p...

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

As many as 8 in 10 married women have changed their surname & no longer have birth certificates or passports to match their current legal name. The SAVE Act will strip these women of voting rights. In Virginia alone 1.8 million. In 50 States??? Tell your Senators. Oppose SAVE Act now: bit.ly/4hZ7BK7

Trump needs to be arrested and the wealth of himself and co conspirators spread throughout the citizenry to replace all money stolen during his recent tariff fraud and economic sabotage. He owes you all money.

Deporting American citizens—even those with criminal records—to foreign prisons is unconstitutional and violates core due process protections. The White House has stated it will decide who qualifies for deportation. Will protesting eventually be deemed a crime—and a deportable offense?

Trump is exploring legal avenues to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has arranged for individuals to be held in a prison notorious for human rights abuses.

Trump regime security forces attacked and abducted an 80 year old woman, Lynne McFarland for standing her ground against a bill that would deny education to immigrant children. The US falls deeper into fascism. #3E

Trump tariffed some Penguins

The Trump regime has put a 10% tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald which is inhabited only by Penguins. The majestic Penguin has become the first nonhuman in history to enter a trade war with the United States.

bitches really grew up watching High School Musical hooting and hollering along to “We’re All In This Together” then became antivaxxers and voted away Social Security huh

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

Please stay safe today.

There have been reports of Republicans resorting to violence against peaceful protesters. If you witness anything suspicious, record video and report it immediately.

Demand Defense Secretary Hegseth's Resignation after Unbelievable Security Breach ⭑ 5 Calls On March 24, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic reported being accidentally included in a group chat where Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared …

I left a voice message with my representative Ryan Mackenzie and with Senator Fetterman this morning to demand that they call for Hegseth’s resignation after yesterday’s unbelievable and inexcusable security breach. Senator McCormick‘s mailbox was full, so I’ll have to try again later.

The US is not doing its job, not being a good ally and has never said thank you. NATO needs to take more territorial interest in the US, secure (take) the nukes, and disable the airports and military bases.
