Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Mastercard is among 12 corporate sponsors of Trump's Freedom 250. Senators led by Sen. Adam Schiff have launched an investigation into Freedom 250 over an alleged 'pay-to-play' scheme. www.impactivize.org/impactivizer...

BREAKING: California’s economy continues to dominate, growing 5% to reach a record GDP of $4.25 trillion in 2025. California outperformed every other state in the nation — continuing a 16-year growth streak and grew faster than the 2nd largest state, Texas.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

With the news that a second plane, an A10 was shot down (pilot safe) makes me wonder if those recent shipments from Russia to Iran had some new weapons

Trump April 1st: We could hit it and it would be gone. And there’s not a thing they could do about it. They have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated. We are unstoppable…

IT'S TIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!! Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you can stay home, AWESOME. If you can't, please consider NOT BUYING anything that day. The POINT is the pressure of OUR POWER. #MAYDay #May1st #GeneralStrike #NOBusinessAsUSUAL www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

Donald Trump's chaotic war with Iran is dramatically increasing fertilizer costs ahead of planting season for farmers in California and across the nation. The president's unhinged actions are destroying lives and livelihoods.

A few thoughts ahead of the President’s speech tonight.

It’s as American as apple pie that if you’re born in America, you’re a citizen. Trump’s attacks on birthright citizenship are un-American and insane. The Supreme Court must uphold this constitutional right.

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

San Diego just gave us the best reveal of No Kings Day. #NoKings

Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little. ➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change. polarwx.com/models/

History is made. New US March monthly heat record at Martinez Lake, AZ at 110°! The most intense spring #heatwave in US history.

Fair to say that the Western U.S. heatwave has reached record-shattering status, with dozens of locations breaking all-time March monthly heat records & some now approaching *April* records. Swath of record heat extends clear from Pacific to Great Plains, & from Canada to Mexico.

This is a WIN for science. RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations has been BLOCKED by a federal court. The ACIP committee cannot meet as planned this week, since its membership has been invalidated, and ALL votes made by those advisers in the last year have also been invalidated.

Seems less than ideal.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Red hot wholesale price index in January. My colleague Meagan Martin-Schoenberger posted it to her linked in page. Hottest core goods (ex energy & food) since early 2022 when inflation soared. Profit margins, with exception of vehicles, which have absorbed tariffs via margin losses & layoffs…

Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity. We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone. She goes out looking for him. "I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

IEEPA! IEEPA! IEEPA! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEBd...

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

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.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….

An Irish man held by ICE for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

New Weather West update is out now! Some relief, at last, from recent record warmth and astonishing lack of Mountain West snow in the coming days as cooler/wetter pattern returns. But just how much relief should we expect? Read more:

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

It was a raid as shocking as it was extraordinary: Last month, the FBI entered the main election operations center of Fulton County, Georgia, and seized records — including ballots — from the 2020 presidential vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Why are the men’s names redacted and the victims names exposed?

Hillary was right about everything….

Congress members, state election chiefs, and voting rights advocates are decrying President Donald Trump’s insistence that the federal government wrest control of elections from the states. But Trump himself is doubling down on his stance. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He’s the stupid people’s President.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Lady Gaga has put out a gorgeous anthem for Minneapolis. youtu.be/e3o5FIXoK84?...

I hope every person on Earth listens to this. America is not gone yet.

🚨BREAKING: ICE drew guns and POINTED THEM at a retired Minneapolis couple in a church parking lot. “They were obviously not trained… I've known many police officers….They had the professional demeanor of criminals." This is unreal. #NoWarrantNoICE

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
