My new piece for @cafedotcom: This is how reproductive rights are lost. We can't let women be relegated to second class status on the civil rights agenda, or everyone suffers. cafe.com/notes-from-c...

Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath. Her memory lives on in every life she touched.

Listen closely to every word of this

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have? • She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall. • She’s deported fewer people than Obama. • She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters. Why hasn’t he fired her?

👏👏👏

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Multiply her testimony by the thousands who have similar experiences. We need to hear from them all.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Yay, Virginia … and we move forward. Vote YES on April 21 to redistrict. It’s up to we the people. Fight fire with fire … Trump started this ball rolling in Texas.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

“This is a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

That’s my governor! So proud of her….

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I hate what Trump’s America is doing to people. Contact your Congressperson.

In my fifty years in politics, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before. I haven't always agreed with Jerome Powell, but what Donald Trump is doing is out of the dictator’s playbook. Kudos to Powell for speaking out.

Ice is terrorizing Minnesota and California and and and and

This.

This has gotten so far out of hand! Please read and share.

Kristi Noem rushed out “self-defense” before the facts were even cold. That’s not leadership. That’s half-assed, sloppy attempt at damage control. When the excuse...comes faster than the investigation...you already know the truth scares them...and they're trying to blow smoke up your arse.

Same As It Ever Was...

'This is already the Putin model: authoritarian rule that enables smash-and-grab oligarchy by those in the regime’s good favor. Trump is making it unusually explicit that in this sphere of influence, Trump-approved oligarchs will be enriched" newrepublic.com/article/2049... via @newrepublic.com

Read former special counsel Jack Smith’s transcript before the House Committee on the Judiciary here: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

And @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty tried to give themselves millions of dollars for receiving these calls🤔

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear: If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison. And he should be.

Is this true? Can’t we DO SOMETHING about this? He’s lining more pockets with our money.

Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

How do you prove your innocence or citizenship without due process? The loss of due process makes every one of us vulnerable.

Zuckerberg settles $8 billion lawsuit over Cambridge Analytica scandal- he was expected to take the stand on Mon, Sandberg on Wed. The trial was scheduled to run through the end of next week. Other testimony was expected from Peter Thiel and Reed Hastings. www.france24.com/en/americas/...

Also, this is an invitation to international criminals, just like these kinds of program are everywhere else

Yesterday, in just one day, I am told that the Ukrainians killed or critically wounded 900 Russians. In one day. All for the imperial dreams of a tyrant

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse. There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.
