On this day in 1830, President Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, forcing Indigenous people who had lived in the southeastern U.S. for centuries to migrate west in brutal and dangerous conditions.

I found a magic lamp, but when I rubbed it the genie inside had been replaced by AI and could only grant wishes that had all been made before by other people.

The Trump administration's response to today’s painful economic news that Trump's disastrous policies have pushed inflation to the highest the US has experienced in the last 3 years? "Let's create a $250 bill featuring Trump's face."

No living US president has had their face on US currency in 150 years since Congress passed a law banning it. Because that’s what dictators and autocrats do.

Trump is using millions of dollars of your National Park fees to put golf leaf on horses and paint the Reflecting Pool. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

1. Deploying federal troops to polling places is illegal under US law. 2. Even the perception of enforcement activity near polling places can discourage eligible voters from participating. That's what the Trump admin wants. Elections must be protected.

BREAKING: We filed for a temporary restraining order to block the transfer of $1.8B from the Treasury Dept to Trump's slush fund. Trump can't unilaterally and secretly disburse these taxpayer funds. The court must stop this grift before it's too late. www.citizensforethics.org/news/press-r...

And it’s no surprise that #Hitler made it a term of abuse & #Trump continues….. #SheShed

Not sure how much longer this will be satire.

Zuck just casually sailing his superyacht into town the same week that he laid off 20% of his Seattle-area workforce is pretty brazen. Fuck up nearly 1400 lives and then wave at them like royalty from the deck of his floating Taj Mahal.

Really feeling the centre cannot hold so it’s time again for this gem

Vote for me as president and I will not only put trump in prison but I’ll do that Roman thing where his name is stricken from existence

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Another state is joining in. California Governor Gavin Newsom says the state is looking at taxing 100% of any money paid to Californians from Trump’s proposed $1.776 billion January 6 “slush fund.” We think they should go to 110%!

I know about Emily How Arkansas's near-total abortion ban prevented doctors from providing necessary care during a life-threatening, 17-week miscarriage. Despite Emily's severe infection risks and intervention attempts,she traveled 240 miles to Kansas to receive care.

Wow. Talk about Profiles in Courage. Santiago Campos, recipient of the $10,000 Mike Wallace Scholarship, tells the uncomfortable truth about what CBS has become. Good in ya, son. You will be a credit to the profession.

Public corruption, all out in the open, at a scale we’ve never ever seen. Public corruption that would end any other public figure’s career. But any outcry from legacy media about this? Nope.👇

We know Trump’s word means nothing, but now America’s word means nothing either. Promises made in war are being discarded for petty politics. That betrayal will echo for generations. Fight this un-American cruelty: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

Who knew it was still even possible to stand out for vulgarity in America?

I can’t believe I have to say this: The President should not financially benefit from the very government he controls. I’ve got a bill to stop Trump’s corruption.

The president launched a Gold Card visa program allowing immigrants to pay $1 MILLION to the Commerce Department's gift account to receive expedited US residency. No, we're not making this up...

Russ Vought is a very dangerous person. He was one who headed the Heritage Foundation & helped put together Project 2025. He wants WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS to rule this country. He wants only RICH WHITE MEN to have a say in the lives of everyday citizens.

PENN STATION BELONGS TO NEW YORKERS, NOT TO DONALD TRUMP.

An assassination attempt has to include someone in immediate danger with a weapon fired at them. Only one of the four most recent incidents was an actual assassination attempt.

When billionaires are allowed to accumulate without limit, they buy up land, #housing, companies, and essential services. They can outbid you on everything—and they do. That’s why prices soar, ownership disappears, and life feels impossible no matter how hard you #work or how educated you are.

Good Memorial Day everybody. Remember. Always.

"The grassroots opposition to data centers, now widespread across the country, is not a “not in my backyard” reaction to development It reflects a deeper frustration: that a few tech companies have amassed extraordinary power and are using it to steer the direction of the economy and society"

The Trump administration is eliminating IRIS, the EPA's independent program that assessed whether chemicals pose health risks. Now those assessments will be handled by policy offices, opening the door to political pressure and potential delays in protecting public health. #healthsky 🩺

Reminding myself that it’s a pretty good country.

The Trump administration is ordering federal agencies to install a White House app on the government phones of millions of federal employees. The FAA confirmed it this week, telling workers their IT team would push the installation automatically “as mandated by the White House.”
