Food for thought...

Trump fired Pam Bondi today. edition.cnn.com/2026/04/02/p...

The lesson of Pam Bondi is just episode 482,009 of the same enduring lesson: no level of craven bootlicking will ever be enough for Trump to be loyal to anyone but himself. So no level of personal and professional debasement to curry his favor will ever be worth it.

Bondi is out 🖕🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥 #SheShed

Happy Thursday ☀️ Accurate 🎯 Enjoy your day y'all ☀️ #SheShed

SMELLS LIKE CORRUPTION !!! Rachel Maddow points out a bizarre pattern of overpayments for warehouses bought by DHS and destined to become permanent ICE Camps for captured-without-due-process immigrants... #NoICECamps #ICEOut‼️ www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Parents, beware 🚨 Online extremists are turning play into propaganda and punishment on Roblox, the “virtual universe” with 150 million *daily* users. The "Blueshirts," modeled on Patriot Front, stage virtual hate rallies, harass other players, and use Discord to strategically target children.

The newly appointed College Republicans political director #KaiSchwemmer is pro-slavery, anti-abortion and accepts a supporter’s description of him as “the Mormon Nick Fuentes” – referring to the white-nationalist influencer, whose platform Schwemmer streamed on for years. #WarningUSStudents ‼️

Please check out this fascinating story for #WomensHistoryMonth by @jmdc88.bsky.social. Remembering women who shaped history is something the mainstream omits, so we emphasize them in March...though, we should do it all year long. Let's make sure everyone knows about these luminaries!

Those who have read my #FridayLimericks can probably guess how important I find protection for parody and satire. I love how Afroman handled the raid on his house—perhaps a good indicator of why ICE wants to keep its agents masked to violate rights. youtu.be/oponIfu5L3Y

BREAKING : As the US and Israel launched the war on Iran on February 28, Iran’s response was swift. Iran fired missiles and drones on Israel, and also destroyed US assets in Gulf countries, expanding the conflict in the region. #TrumpIsNOTWinningIranWar www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

#ResistanceRoots #WomensHistoryMonth Pearl Bailey was born on this day in 1918 in Newport News, Va. Known for her throaty voice and comedic timing, she was one of the most beloved entertainers of the mid-20th century. She was also social justice advocate who used her fame to fight for equality. /1

🔥TRUMP IS HIDING THIS FROM YOU !!!🔥 Marines and sailors are actively revolting. Troops in the 31st MEU and on warships headed to the Middle East are filing emergency Conscientious Objector claims to stop their deployment. The Pentagon is terrified as the ranks refuse to fight Trump's war.

For those who like a little lyrical sizzle with their analysis of the horrors of our timeline, I encourage you to get your copy of #FridayLimericks: With All Due Respect… today. It’s not necessarily nice, but limericks fit the moment well. a.co/d/0bO6XGX6

They shouldn’t be evicted. That’s not fair. 😡 #SheShed

No Kings and anti-ICE protests tell the same story: the people are appropriately pissed. NEW: More than 50 *US citizen* children lose a parent to ICE *every day* Disclaimer: It’s even worse for non-citizen children www.propublica.org/article/trum... youtu.be/qfSj9Srg0F0

That Elon Musk is posting and amplifying about the SAVE America voter suppression bill as saving American democracy is exactly the kind of malevolent irony on which this regime has been built. (Gift article by @karaswisher.bsky.social) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Either the BlueSky language recognition technology needs some tweaking, or I am much more multilingual than I thought. I hope it’s the latter—like a babel fish working in my eye instead of my ear. That would be kind of exciting.

Please spread these harmonic truths far and wide ! Thank you for using your talent to tell us what's truly happening, my Friend !!! #JeffRoushFridayLimericks

Today, we will tell Trump : 🔹️That we will never bow to his ego 🔹️That we are not afraid 🔹️That we want him and his government out 🔹️That he owes us respect 🔹️That we are the ones who give and take power !!! #NoKingsNationwide2026

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP keep screwing the TSA. At three fortnights the TSA stands With no money and far fewer hands. There’s a harsh human toll, But the GOP goal Is ignoring the facts for their brands. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Don’t let them tell you how to protest — tomorrow, or ever… If you missed author and organizer Kimberly Jones’s viral moment, this is a MUST WATCH.

Surrendering to hopelessness only clears the path for those eager to replace a shared democracy. The work instead becomes stubborn civic participation. Showing up in peaceful protest when injustice demands resistance. #NoKings Day March 28 👇🏼

Being nice is hard. Leading is harder, especially when it comes at your own expense in the timeline we’re living in. Read 👇🏼👏🏼

The philosopher Dalton teaches us to be nice, until it’s time to not be nice. In those moments, kindness to yourself and those around you provides a path forward. open.substack.com/pub/jeffrous...

NEW: According to the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute, “Donald Trump is dismantling U.S. democracy at an ‘unprecedented’ rate” — “comparable to some coups d’états” And now civil rights, equality, freedom of expression and freedom of the press are at their lowest levels in 60+ years

DHS budget = $63.6B (ICE budget = $11.3B) until Feb. 2026. Republicans wanted legislation to restart DHS/ICE funding for all their operations. Democrats want to couple DHS funding with guardrails on ICE operations and are opposed to a new detention centre. Republicans refused and DHS shut down...

As the military raises the possible enlistment age, we peek in on Eric Trump’s Google activity…

100% we need to see the perp walk of every single person involved. We won’t give this up until we do. And they must be held accountable-NO PARDONS. This is a global problem that has touched everyone in some way. #SheShed www.bbc.com/news/article...

#ResistanceRoots #WomensHistoryMonth Aretha Franklin was born on this day in 1942 in Memphis, Tenn. Known as the “Queen of Soul,” she was a monumental singer, songwriter and pianist who redefined popular music.

They’re making it harder to vote. So I’m making it easier to register people to vote. shop.beingliberal.org

Yesterday afternoon got very busy, so when Freddie came in for attention, I had to stay on task. And this is the moment when I realized I was Cat’s in the Cradling… my cat.

#ResistanceRoots #WomensHistoryMonth Matilda Joslyn Gage was born on this day in 1826 in Cicero, N.Y. She was an abolitionist, Native American rights activist and leading 19th-century suffragist, but she was largely written out of history by her colleagues due to her increasingly radical views. /1

Great 🧵. Please make sure you are registered and get your IDs in order. If there's groups helping people get their IDs please post for sharing. Elderly women who took their husbands' names are going to be particularly at risk so check in on the aunties and grannies and help them get organized.

The SAVE act has issues beyond your ID. Giving the federal government all our voter data and rolls so they can remove voters monthly is a non starter. Everything about this bill screams authoritarianism and a way to seriously cheat the system.

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #OV1 Iran: Trump is conflicted ( as always) between: Desire to find an off-ramp and avoid the blame Desire to look like a conquering alpha male. Never on his mind are the people in the US and around the world.

If you think the California governor’s race is a shitshow, you’re right. USC canceled tonight’s debate. It was controversial because every candidate of color was excluded, and the school’s explanation was weak. Matt Mahan entered late, was polling below Becerra, and still got an invite. 1/2

We need to start taking pictures of the shelf prices because they might change by the time we get to the register. 📌 Walmart is rolling out digital price tags in every store. Prices can now be changed across the entire chain in seconds.

Clarification: Donald Trump has always been responsible for the airport chaos We know this because Democrats have proposed bills to fund TSA and the rest of DHS-absent ICE *on seven separate occasions* Each time, Republicans voted against these measures-on Trump’s orders This just confirms it

I have it on good authority that Tom Homan in particular is looking for a paper bag with $50,000

The ‘unspecified’ is a soon to be released official Trump Proof of Citizenship Card For the meager sum of $695 (plus & $47 handling & shipping fees) every person in the US can get their express voting right! Disclaimer- the card automatically completes the ballot for Republicans only

Watching the Mike Lee dance here, I thought I would take him up on his suggestion to “read the damn bill.” You will be shocked to learn—shocked, I tell you!—that all four of his points (save that we should read the bill) are wrong. (Thread)

In a world of Trumps, be a Robert de Niro. Make your voice heard ! It is more crucial than ever !!! #VOTE #DoNOTBeSilent
