April 17

Voters: Can you do something about these gas prices? Trump:

First they came for the immigrants. Next, the activists. Then, your neighbor. Finally, you.

Ich knowe. It ys tough, righte? Plese take care. Peraventure it ys tyme to make some tea. Remembir the goode thinges. Thei will happen agayne bifor you knowe.

Mothers belong with their children. Yet today, deportation has left thousands of Black and Brown families broken.

Abolish ICE in its entirety and deny everyone working for them any future government employment.

Oh, so Iran GHOSTED ghosted him

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Federal immigration raid by masked goons as parents were dropping off their children at a nearby elementary school.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright shrugged when asked if gas could rise above $5 per gallon this summer. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"The Trump Administration ran the same play against much larger companies. They capitulated. We didn’t. "Now, after nearly a year of litigation, they relented and agreed to a practically unprecedented settlement in our favor..." www.ms.now/opinion/medi...

Why is anyone debating whether or not to “let Marjorie Taylor Greene into the tent”? She has not asked to be in a tent with you. Nothing indicates that she wants to be in it. She is positioning herself to appeal to people who hate your tent, and possibly to peel off a few people at the edges of it.

"The collective net worth of Trump’s Cabinet...is the highest ever, even before counting the president."

But a friend sent me this, so... close enough. bsky.app/profile/stra...

Send this to democratic politicians in your area who want to get their message out…

Parliament of Hungary NOW. No police lights and cordons, batons and pepper sprays, but a laser show, music, dance, and joy after Orban is ousted forever.

Their lost cause lost so hard they had to launch a 50 year plan to reverse it. They may have temporary power, but they’ve already lost the future. They know it, you should too.

Please remember that fascism is for losers. A people realize that they’ve already lost the future and, since their cause has already lost, they’ve got nothing else left to lose. Fascists are desperate, but attempt to portray invincibility & power. They’re residual culture, attempting to be emergent.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

This 👇🏾

If the Supreme Court is concerned about its declining public legitimacy and thinks too many Americans are calling the Supreme Court illegitimate, the majority could try not issuing bad faith rulings that illegitimately distort law in pursuit of undemocratic partisan power. That’s always an option.

Agreed with Greg, except I think make it a civil rights museum called the Rosa Parks Center. Two reasons: 1) We can't let the media get their heads turned by bad faith about wasting money. Use it, don't destroy it. 2) If Trump is still alive, watching Obama dedicate this center will kill him.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

“We’ve just pushed 4.5 million people further into poverty. Congrats to us”

🇷🇺🇰🇵North Korean troops marched in Russia's Victory Day Parade for the first time.

New wave of ICE deployments could impact more than 40 states

An ICE goon pulled a gun on a New York teenager and beats him. However, they realized they had the wrong person and abandoned him injured far from home.

Since April 10, Trump has zapped out nine Truth Social posts deploying the “low IQ” tag. Six times his missive referred to a Black person.

It’s super easy to get on social media and complain about how little gets done in politics But it’s also often surprisingly easy to get a group together and attend a meeting to demand some satisfaction

In 1841 Mary Richardson married John Jones of North Carolina. They carried free papers when they settled in Chicago & Mr. Jones established a successful tailoring business. Active in abolitionist politics & voting rights campaigns, they hosted & dressed John Brown & crew en route to Harper’s Ferry.

If you wake up thinking gas is $2, the government budget is in balance and mortgage and inflation rates are falling

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

Howard lutnick lied to the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Zelensky has issued a presidential decree “allowing” Russia to hold its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow. The decree provides exact coordinates of the Red Square that shall be excluded from the list of Ukrainian strike targets. Phenomenal power play.

For @theipaper.com, I tried to explain why we live in a world where Laura Loomer is still a thing. inews.co.uk/opinion/pro-...

Texas eliminated 5 Democratic seats with no voter approval. Louisiana suspended election with no voter approval. Tennessee erased last majority-Black district with no voter approval. But VA Supreme Court blocks redistricting map approved by 3 million voters www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump fucked around. Now he's finding out. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Iran is at it again. This time they added the Tesla logo. 😂

"If they would rather die," Secretary Rollins went on to say, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

I read Evie Magazine's "Sex" issue so you don't have to. It's wild stuff. The issue was risqué to the point of being pornographic. But yet, it is still absolutely Christian right propaganda. They're using porn to sell fundamentalism to women. Wild! www.salon.com/2026/05/08/i...

And now they're using that structural bias in the system to turn it into a permanent advantage that will make it nearly impossible to vote them out of power. It's turning us into an illiberal democracy with a permanent ruling class dominated by white men.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.
