The New York Times editorial board thinks Democrats should “move to the center.” Where the hell is the center between democracy and fascism?

NEW: Trump just said he called off deploying federal immigration agents to San Francisco.

No taxation without representation! I am surely not represented! I don't think they need our tax dollars in april. If they did, they'd do something to benefit the people. Whats everyone think about federal taxes this year? Anyone considering withholding? Imagine if we all did that. Biggest protest!👊

Yes. Please. Right now

A St. Louis ordinance lets courts banish people from huge swaths of the city as a punishment for petty crimes. These neighborhood orders of protection often prevent people from accessing the services they need and raise constitutional questions. (Published 2022) By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

THERE IS LITERALLY NO REASON TO FIRE LIVE ARTILLERY SHELLS OVER AN AMERICAN HIGHWAY. TOTALLY STUPID, RECKLESS, AND BIZARRE ACTIONS JUST TO MAKE JD VANCE FEEL IMPORTANT.

ME,too Except for Aileen Cannon, Emil Bove, Neomi Rao, Matthew Kacsmaryk and the SCOTUS ShariahSix (i am sure I left out s few other anti- democracy, fascist F*^k*rz )

NEW: After over two hours of oral argument in a high-stakes Louisiana redistricting case, the Supreme Court seems ready to scrap fair elections and hand red states the power to freely draw electoral maps that eviscerate the political power of minority voters.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Rut roh. Sydney Reid is asking that her case be thrown out. Everytime Juicebox Jeanine gives a new explanation, things get worse.

everyone knows that civil servants' paychecks just have "The King" on the signature line ...

Just voted YES on PROP 50!! Make sure to vote early! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

The largest demonstration during Trump’s first term was around 750 events. “We’re now expecting about 2,500 events around the country on No Kings. So we’re talking about literally four times as many.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social Please join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Florida state Rep Hillary Cassel—who used to be a Democrat but flipped to the MAGA Republican Party—has intro'd HB 119 to "ban Shariah law in America." Florida has already banned 1600 books, including the Diary of Anne Frank, so it doesn't surprise me that they're antisemitic AND Islamophobic.

‘Verging on unwatchable’: Guardian writers on their most stressful movies

Koh: This is an AG who is taking orders via dm and is trying to save her job because Trump’s upset about what's happening with the Epstein files. That's what this is all about.

Just. The. Most. INSANE timeline

So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments? Cool, cool. Cool. A desperate, weak Administration overplaying its hand.

Neighbors in Brooklyn were giving these out. ✊

Trump to a right-wing influencer: "Do you know the name of any of the funders? Because if you do, I'd like you to give them to Kash or Pam or Kristi as soon as you can. That's all of you. These are people that do not have good intentions for the country. That's treasonous, probably."

Here's a strategy @jennbudd.bsky.social revealed to me in our conversation on The Left Hook which will be up in a bit. Chicago law enforcement needs to hold ICE agents accountable for unlawful use of force against residents. This is perfectly legal. Let's see MAGA go against the Blue.

The original version of the book said that Epstein was involved in introducing Melania to her beloved husband.

History won’t praise Democrats for playing by the rules if it’s the reason we lose our country.

He stops mid-sentence. 👀 This wasn’t a technical glitch or mic issue, he just stopped talking and stared off into the middle distance. He either had a stroke or realized halfway through talking he was out of his depths & pulled a sleeper to get out of it. #TemuGoebbels is an untalented hack.

The shuttered DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “was one of the very few tools we had to check ICE, to hold ICE accountable,” immigration lawyer Sophia Genovese said. “Now you see them speeding to complete authoritarianism.” (Published April 2025)

Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is “abhorrent.” Several homes in the neighborhood have a yard sign in the front proudly declaring: “This house supports federal workers.” That includes the house right next door to his.

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Think about all the fucking militia lunatics that stormed the Capital on J6, were arrested, tried by jury of their peers, CONVICTED and then PARDONED by the convicted felon who thought they'd be more useful outside of prison. www.newsweek.com/judge-diane-...

Surprise! Trump appointee Bill Pulte threw ethics out the window so he could weaponize the Justice Department against Trump’s foes.

Judge Immergut, after an unusual Sunday night phone hearing, has issued a new broader order barring ANY National Guard members from being relocated from ANY state for federal service in the state of Oregon after the trump administration violated Saturday's order. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

She was VERY unhappy. She flat out asked the lawyer for the Trump Administration: "You are an officer of the Court, and my order [from yesterday] dealt with conditions in Portland, so are you trying to circumvent my order?"

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Here's the complaint relating to the alleged ramming, followed by the shots in Chicago earlier. Just one of three Border Patrol Agents turned their bodycam on, and the BWC only corroborated: 1) That they shot 2) The timing 3) What one of the cars did afterwards www.justice.gov/usao-ndil/me...

ProPublica and @theassemblync.bsky.social found that in some North Carolina counties, homeowners with the highest incomes received two to three times as much FEMA housing assistance as those with lower incomes after Hurricane Helene. By @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social and Ren Larson

The “America has always been fascist” line of thinking is not only wrong on the merits, it is exactly what Stephen Miller wants you to think

Watch ICE illegally arrested Chicago Alderman Jessie Fuentes inside a hospital emergency room—simply for asking them to show a warrant for a man they detained.
