Then why in the 10 gallon *fuck* did you go to fascist prom last night? Why did you go to the White House correspondents dinner to honor a fascist who is doing everything in his power to destroy the 1st Amendment? What is *wrong* with you? Do you not have staff smarter than you?

An already unacceptably right-leaning press corps is gearing up to go further right because a bad thing almost happened near them; they were in that position to begin with because they decided access to fascism is more important that accurately describing it

In this video, Trump cannot get out of his chair, struggles to stand, takes a few steps, falls to the floor, struggles to stand again, and then walks off the stage. The question should be: what about Trump's health is being kept from the public?

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

I don't think Jodie Foster is on the hook for this one, either, no matter how good a performance it may turn out to be.

I would like to note there were multiple mass shootings in the country this week alone and they barely made news

Look at the past 20 years or so: violence has a very prominent, privileged, comfortable, utterly untouchable place in our society.

What's the Polymarket over/under on whether Trump has a maxi pad on his here during the White House address?

"We've built a rapid response network to stop ICE detention centers before they start. Receive immediate alerts if a facility is planned for your community and help lead the local fight to stop it..." gtfoice.org

They all decided not to wake him up. Better let sleeping dogs lay.

In headlines, Democrats are described as standing firm and holding the line on ICE. But look closer at what that “line” is: they are not fighting to shrink the enforcement state. They are negotiating the terms under which it continues. https://bit.ly/4tpRRX8

"A history professor course could not allocate instructional time to the Stonewall riots or the gay rights movement. If a U.S. history textbook includes a chapter on the AIDS crisis, the professor must skip it." www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

"I want people to sit with that for a minute. I was sleeping outside. I was a teenager. And I was still working...Expanding coercive approaches without addressing housing is not a strategy."

He’s a whole weirdo.

Victory favors those who follow the science.

He does believe it because he's not lying, he has dementia and he believes every iota of his hallucinations, they are entirely real to him. And that's so much worse.

NEW: Flight data reveals that the LAPD's "Drone as First Responder" program—sold to the public as a public safety measure—is in fact being used to spy on anti-ICE/anti-Trump protests in Los Angeles. theintercept.com/2026/04/20/l...

Oh BULLSHIT.

Outrageous. @chiosse.bsky.social was protecting one of his neighbors from eviction, as a result of deed theft — a plague in Central Brooklyn right now. There was no reason for NYPD officers to roughly throw him to the ground. It sure doesn’t make anyone safer. Release him now.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

I’m proud to endorse the @workingfamilies.org Guarantee because working families keep this country running, but can’t afford to pay the bills.

The indictment is arguing that the SPLC should be punished for using the same tactics as law enforcement (infiltration, undercover ops) in order to assist law enforcement.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

There's no legal basis for these boat strikes, and US officials involved in them should be prosecuted for attempted murder and murder. The OLC memo green-lighting the strikes is still secret, but there's nothing it could say that would make these strikes lawful. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Shorter Warsh: I am filthy rich and thus your plebeian curiosity and skepticism are beneath me.

If your fealty is to Trump, probably best not to raise the subject of predators. Just sayin'.

When Donald Trump gave Live Nation-Ticketmaster the green light to keep overcharging fans, guess who stepped up? State Attorneys General. Jurors. Everyday people who are tired of getting scammed by giant companies. This is how we win.

Call the shooter by the proper term: family annihilator.

Roberts: OMG, a Democrat president is trying to improve the country, he must be stopped! Think about the corporations!

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

Everytime D's declare to vote their hopes and not their fears, the rest of the party jumps down our throats shouting "NO! You can't vote your hopes, you have to vote centrist, you have to appeal to Rs, *think about SCOTUS!" Every. Goddam. Election. I pray they recognize Mamdani proves them wrong.

A very American story. Poor people do not deserve food or shelter or medical care or dignity, and must remain invisible to rich people. Serving the in public makes them visible.

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

Joe DiGenova, whose wife once solicited payments from foreigners to lie about Joe Biden in 2019, just got sworn in to investigate things those things he lied about in the past. Over the weekend I laid out why this is so problematic. emptywheel.net/2026/04/19/t...

A good time for a reminder that locking people up for low level marijuana offenses doesn’t solve anything and our federal laws need to catch up with the times

Steyer announces plan to jail ICE agents, calls agency a ‘violent extremist group’

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

This shit goes so far beyond racism it's redshifted.
