It’s ok to bribe the president when he’s on a break

welcome to the future, now your error-prone software can call the cops (this is an Anthropic employee talking about Claude Opus 4)

"You said there were no cuts to scientists, and then the HHS spox said, 'Actually, there were cuts to scientists and now we're trying to rehire them.' It gives the impression you're not sure about personnel actions in own agency." -- Jon Ossoff just dismantled FDA Commissioner Makary

ICYMI: "While the administration says the reduction in force 'was implemented to improve ‘efficiency’ and ‘accountability,’ the 'record abundantly reveals that Defendants’ true intention is to effectively dismantle the Department without an authorizing statute.'" www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

GALLEGO: You requested $50m for a Gulfstream jet. Meanwhile, Rs are about to kick 13m off Medicaid. How can you justify that? NOEM: It's to replace a jet that's over 20 years old G: Would you be using it for travel? N: No idea G: We've seen the Instagram photos. Some really bad weapons handling.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Alt text not available, so --smiling protestor holds up two fingers on each hand in apparent peace symbols, has large poster hanging in front from cord necklace. Sign says, Not Voting is the #1 cause of unwanted presidency. Cartoon image of an orange tinted baby trump is in the corner of the poster.

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy! Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #April5 #HandsOff

Reposting with alt text information since it's missing. Cartoon Trump is golfing. He has just swung and hit the ball (a globe) down a line graph that shows a volatile few weeks and then a sharp drop with the globe sitting at the bottom of the chart. The path of the shot is labeled, "Tarrified."

Meme: Trump pointing to the following message: "After the last tariffs in 1930, Republicans lost the House and Senate for 50 years!"

#GVerse Portland, Oregon Resists! #HandsOff!

Aerial Asheville - estimated 7500!

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

He’s skipping funerals for soldiers to golf with the Saudis.

Hands off our healthcare! Hands off our public education! Hands off our jobs! Hands off my 401k! Hands off my neighbor who has committed no crime! Hands off those Congressional seats that we are coming for in 2026!

This is how we do it!

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Please watch this. Jess Piper is spot on.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Vice President Kamala Harris warned everyone that the orange felon would destroy the country. It still breaks my heart that people chose a rapist felon criminal traitor over a leader. I’ll never regret voting for her.

Salt Lake City showed up

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

CHICAGO…

1/ I'm sure someone has already pointed this out, but one additional thing about the tariffs being done unilaterally by the president: They can be (and almost certainly will be) reversed by the next Democratic president.

Hands Off Protest in the Boston Common

• This is what democracy looks like — in Boston, Massachusetts. • “Hands Off!” protests against the Trump regime are off to brilliant start — all across America.

Really apparent something massive is going to give in this country and I do not think anyone is ready for it.
