This morning, just after 8 a.m., Trump had a long ramble on Truth Social that concluded, “if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” That’s our start to the week ahead. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Okay, finished on here for the day again! Hope everyone has a Good Day and a Good Night!

I miss the good old days of politics, when one poorly-judged tax dodge would be the end of your political career

HE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD TO PREVENT THE REAL EPSTEIN FILES FROM BEING RELEASED. BUT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE HE IS “INNOCENT?!”

"Ms. Ross-Mahé, age 86, was greeted at the airport by her three adult children. She was still dressed in her prison wear — orange shoes, sweatpants and a gray sweater — covered in stains and holes... "She was in a state of physical shock... www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...

We are showing up and shouting out against the administration's policies. #Salisbury, #maryland #delmarva #resist. #indivisible . We are a blue dot in a deep red area that is becoming bluer everyday thanks to the courage and determination of activists and candidates who speak for all people.

Never forget ....release all the Epstein Files!

Stupid, stupid, stupid This regime is so stupid How can anyone put up with the insanity, the lies, the constant drama, the disrespect, and the downright corruption Strike, strike, strike! Make the economy hurt from boycotting every tech company, every media company, etc #MayDayStrike

If the speculative "He/she should have known that..." is by itself the new standard by which a politician should offer their resignation, then I wonder how few politicians would survive a year in office. Perhaps a return to considered determination of the facts involved might serve democracy better.

Trump is losing it on Truth Social. We count 38 posts in the last hour alone. Does the President of the United States ever do, um, I dunno, 'governing'? No.

You can call it a hoax. You can call it a staged event. But mostly you can call it the workings of a sick, demented man.

If your main concern about a video game is whether or not it’s “woke”, I’ve got news for you… …you’re not a real gamer. You’re just a clown looking for a problem where there isn’t one. An excuse to be outraged over your hatred while hiding it behind a poorly disguised excuse.

When you see an actress you've never heard of before, who seems not terribly talented in a shitty Netflix movie and notice she has the same last name as a famous man and find out... yup another nepo-baby. Just what we need!

Americans have not been at war with Iranians for nearly 50 years. Religious zealots in the US government have hated, feared and wanted to destroy the religious zealots in the Iranian government. And vice versa. Innocent people die when the religious go to war.

Love France 🇫🇷 They understand the importance of the battery life of a Nokia 3310

How interesting that 'the pope' of American apocalyptic white Christian nationalism never goes to church on Sunday morning but instead picks that time to tweet out genocidal threats to kill millions of people

I voted for Barack, Hillary, Joe, and Kamala. I’m also Catholic. Every day, it becomes ever more clear to me that I am on the right side of history.

Sunday, April 19 2026, reminder that not a single #Epstein client has been arrested! #Iran #EpsteinFiles #NoKings

Time for Mamdani and Obama to go to a baseball game with the Pope. Let’s just blow this whole thing wide open.

Low information voters is one thing. Low information presidents are much worse.

The Patriarchy is trying to deny women to vote in 2026. To take away every importright we've fought for & already won These women were the justice bringers that the Patriarchy is so afraid of Afraid we will turn into. I have great & saddened news We're already there WELCOME TO THE MATRIARCHY TEAM

The real heroes of the Epstein story

All to appease his dementia-ridden cult leader...

Epstein was on 30-minute checks - until the night he died

Another weekend of playing Deal or No Deal with our unhinged president.

"Adan" shared this photo from the Coachella CA where hes picking green beans. "I get paid 40 cents per pound. The work is exhausting - especially due to the excessive heat in the area. But this is how I support my family." #WeFeedYou

Donald Trump is only as powerful as the Republican Senate and House majorities allow him to be, which is quite un-American of them. #Project2025 fascism

The entire Epstein regime should be rotting in prison right now

This isn’t public health and it’s not about clean water. This is state-sponsored humiliation. And seriously? Go try to find any justification for this anywhere, in any chapter of any Bible. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/small-gove...

Worth adding that Russia did as a matter of fact intervene for Trump in 2016 and that the evidence is widely known, abundant, and collected in various forms (🧵 1/3) www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Fox News is calling this the most decisive and important war America has ever fought They are complete morons

How Christians Justify Evil.

He might as well answer in Russian.

On the right is someone NFL doctors say is 6’3, 230 lbs with 5% body fat On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6’3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

one day when my mom was well into her dementia she told me about skipping meals so my brother and i could eat that’s why hunger bothers me so much - my mom literally went hungry so we could eat, and right now as a society we won’t take our surplus and feed others

"Dear America" letters from people who work at the besieged US Department of Housing and Urban Development: dearamericaletters.org

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027. The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

GOP, It’s never the guns!!! Eight children, ranging in age from 1 to 14 years old, were shot dead in Shreveport, Louisiana, in what police are calling a "domestic disturbance."

. When the shitty Fox says something unfavorable about the government's politics, you can count on it being true!

Can Iran just release all the Epstein Files now?

Hey #Trump, We hate you for FREE!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #NoKings

If the 'Save America Act' actually lived up to its name it would contain Articles of Impeachment
