Forty-six people, including members of the press, were arrested last night at the Delaney Hall protest. The authorities justified these arrests because protesters were carrying helmets, masks, and shields. When the state treats citizens as enemies for simply seeking protection… ITS FASCISM!

The corruption never stops.

Pretty much, isn’t it? #FDJT #Pinks

Looking at what he's done to the People's House (without Congressional approval, of course), I feel equal parts rage & embarrassment for our country. The Midterms can't come soon enough... #Register&VOTE 🌊

Dude, your boss is currently trying to steal $1,776,000,000 from the Treasury. And that’s just *one* of his scams. You people have ZERO self-awareness.

RIP Sonny Rollins, a great jazz talent and the last surviving musician in one of the best photos of men in suits during the 20th century

The conditions in Delaney Hall are absolutely unacceptable. Shut it down NOW.

President Sheinbaum "The three agreements we signed today, between Mexico and the EU represent more than — represent the possibility of consolidating a strategic relationship based on mutual respect, equality between nations and confidence in a common future."

I grew up on these waters. I’m fighting to make sure future generations can too.

In case you missed it…here’s the facts-only version of SOTU

$6.99 for the CHEAP ground beef. $6 for a handful of strawberries. $12 for a watermelon that used to cost $2. A honey bun is now $2.30 — it was 75 cents. And $10 gets you basically nothing. But sure, tell us the economy is fine. 🙃🛒 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Stephen Colbert closed out the final episode of The Late Show with an emotional performance of “Hello, Goodbye” alongside Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney symbolically switched off the studio lights one last time to the Ed Sullivan Theater. 🥹🥺

Landry: "Greenland needs a deal. Greenland could be exporting 2 million barrels of oil a day right now. Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Strait of Hormuz, what kind of leverage that would give America. It's time for the Danes to come to the table and let's get a deal done"

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

Apparently what this country needs is more white racists.🤷‍♀️

The United States has moved into a stupid, corrupt era where reparations go to people who did bad things, not to people to whom bad things were done. 🤷‍♀️

No notes 😳

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished. ...

Apparently he’s up 6000% at insane asylums. 🥴 truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

It's a moral outrage that we're the only industrialized country without paid family and medical leave.

The Whitehouse posted this on their socials earlier. I fixed their spelling error. You are very welcome!

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

Giving billionaires and corporations the green light to buy our elections. Making it easier for polluters to destroy the planet. Stripping millions of reproductive freedom. Granting presidents immunity. Gutting the protections of the Voting Rights Act. The shame of the John Roberts court.

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

I’m so proud of these folks ✊🏽 Alabama Dems have had enough of Republicans’ bullshit. They’re standing up against the attack on their political power. 🚨 Alabama state organizing manager Dee Reed escorted out of the Alabama House gallery Friday as lawmakers debated redistricting.

Yet another distraction from the economy, that’s the the distraction from the Iran’s war, the distraction from Venezuela coup, the distraction from the ballroom, the distraction from Epstein’s files… www.scientificamerican.com/article/pent...

I love these kids.

“Hey kids, did you ever hear about my good buddy Jeffrey Epstein? Want to see the birthday card I made him?”

Here’s 30 years of Bibi Netanyahu claiming that Iran is days away from nuclear weapons.

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

People over profit‼️

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Things will only get better when we realize that just because someone has a lot of money doesn’t mean they’re not a stupid asshole with nothing worthwhile to say.

Minnesota charged white supremacist Jake Lang with felony property damage after he vandalized a “Prosecute ICE” sculpture at the state Capitol. It’s a state case, so no presidential pardon is coming to bail him out this time.

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

In case you missed it ... Scotland is a green-power giant that would be welcomed into the EU with open arms! #RejoinEU 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

James Comey has been keeping busy waiting for his upcoming trial.

If racist Republicans are going to engage in these shenanigans, Democrats need to respond by gerrymandering *all* Republicans out of *all* 52 of California’s congressional districts. And then do other blue states.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas today drew a direct parallel between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the war in the Middle East, saying they represent the “greatest breakdown of international law since the Second World War.”

Robin Williams warned the US about Donald Trump and his links to Miss America Pageants and underage girls in 2012. Really should have listened.

"Trump’s initial post about removing US troops from Germany came just hours after he spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long sought to reduce the number of NATO troops in Europe... "The Pentagon 'was not expecting it'... www.politico.com/news/2026/04...
