So many cowards and cynics on display right now. When the pendulum does swing back--and it will--don't forget where these sad and pathetic people stood in the hour of democracy's greatest need.

Sorry, she’s not on the cover of Vogue. Can interest you in a meme?

I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard.

We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful.

RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

Gavin Newsom: "We're gonna punch these sons of b*tches in the mouth."

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Erika gave birth in a Tucson hospital. Now she’s in CBP custody—separated from her newborn, isolated, & denied access to her lawyer. DHS agents are blocking Luis Campos from even speaking to her, despite him having all required paperwork.
This is cruel. This is fascism.

Been asking this question to myself a lot lately.

Remember when Maine’s Governor Janet Mills told Trump she’d “see him in court”?

Well, she did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.

I think it's much too wordy for them as even I've forgotten the new name as I'm typing this. 😂

Exactly, I certainly won't be acknowledging it, and as a former Chicagoan, just one more thing to "Sears Tower."😂 I even often wear a Gulf of Mexico hat (now my fav) as my subtle way of saying, "Fvck tRump."

Trump administration reaches settlement with family of Ashli Babbitt, rioter killed on Jan. 6, 2021 Ashli Babbitt's death was a rallying point for Trump loyalists and Capitol rioters who alleged police used unnecessary force in stopping the mob on Jan. 6.

The Trump administration has agreed to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt.

American taxpayers will now be forced to give likely millions of dollars to the family of a January 6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol.

The racist lady who called a 5 year old the “N” word used a Christian crowdfunding site to raise over $400k to “Protect” her family.

The racist nazis are out in full force. I can’t believe anyone would donate even a penny to her.

We have way too many hateful people here. 🤬

OK just found this meme and had to share it! I am still laughing, so very very TRUE!!!! Please enjoy and repost if you agree! Linda😂😂

Levin: In this moment, it is so damn important to partner with, promote, and support independent media. And Meidas—let me just say—Meidas did an absolutely incredible job covering the April 5th Hands Off protests all around the country.

100 days of Captain Chaos:

- 140+ executive orders, most of which are unconstitutional, illegal or just plain stupid

- DOGE scams and data thefts

- spin the wheel tariffs

- historic market crashes

- global ridicule

- first American president to lose a Canadian election

Donald Trump's first 100 days have been characterized by the most flagrant corruption imaginable.

Today, I want to talk about 10 of the absolute worst examples.

(Thread 🧵)

#7 - Anti-Bribery Laws Out The Window

Trump ordered the DOJ to pause enforcement of anti-bribery laws, making it easier for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials.

Not just turning a blind eye to corruption. Tacitly authorizing it.

Casar: If anyone ever doubted that Trump, Musk, Bezos, and the billionaires are all on one team, just look at what happened at Amazon today. Bezos immediately caved and walked back a plan to tell Americans how much Trump’s tariffs are costing them. Bezos who spent 40 million on Melania’s documentary

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.
