Not a genocide. Not apartheid. Keep telling yourself that. Who knows: maybe this jewelry was stolen from this man’s family. Shameful does not even begin to describe it.

Never forget that this was how The Washington Post greeted Pam Bondi's nomination. Support independent pro-democracy media. Support Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Not a single one of the following organizations condemned the passage by the Knesset of a law to murder Palestinians: @demmaj4israel.bsky.social @jewishdems.bsky.social Jewish Council on Public Affairs, Jewish Federation of North America. Yet all but the last claim they promote democracy.

Fall-themed October Cafe has opened its 2nd Northwest Side location in Gladstone Park. ☕🍂🎃 blockclubchi.co/41aQ1Nu

Not only is this a war crime - it's specifically shows that Israel is leading the way on this... well war crime(s).

It is an act of terrorism, following in the IDF model.

It is pretty interesting what doesn't get called terrorism.

War for pointless, self-defeating spectacle is the priority. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

A few years ago I would have said we need to do everything possible to be sure that they own "you can't have healthcare because we're fighting wars" forever but at this rate the RNC's 2028 platform is going to be BOMBS NOT BREAD www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

But Trump said they were totally obliterated

The wife of the TPUSA employee who is currently barred from running for office for 5 years for forging campaign signatures is running their voter registration page. Chef’s kiss, no notes.

No. Fucking. Way.

Gupta: Medicare and Medicaid are federal programs, He is now saying that these are the responsibilities of the states. That means that purple and red states are likely going to struggle a lot more to provide basic healthcare to their Medicare and Medicaid recipients than blue states

Will her replacement also be lawless and belligerent? No doubt. But even the most sycophantic attorney general would never be able to satiate our would-be-dictator’s relentless appetite for lawbreaking. Anyone who actually cared about the rule of law wouldn’t take the job. (2/2)

Pam Bondi disgraced the DOJ through her constant lying, mishandling of the Epstein files, and political weaponization of her department. Was it enough to stay in Trump’s good graces? Nope. (1/2)

Thanks to @immcouncil.org, onerous immigration fees have been struck down by a court. The first Trump administration tried to dramatically increase immigration court filing fees by nearly 800%. Certain applications, appeals, and motions in removal proceedings wld inc astronomical price tag."

I can't tell you how much I hate chatbots, *esp* for questions not answered by a simple "yes" or "no." So its infuriating to see that @natabortionfed.bsky.social may replace people providing tele-health with AI. www.autonomynews.co/amid-politic...

Some people say this is just "vibes."

I'm not good at math, is 195% a lot?

I'd be happy that Bondi was fired if I thought for a split second we'd get a real AG. But we will not; its not possible in this hellscape of lies, corruption, and white supremacy. But she should STILL be disbarred.

There is something wrong with you if you agree to join an “administration” so fraught with corruption that part of your job is actually obstructing justice every day. And eventually you’ll be fired anyway. No ethical person could possibly agree to be part of this fascist regime.

When. When does the sanctioning actually start?

I joined Amanpour & Company to talk about why "working homeless"—a term that should be a scandal—has become an ordinary fact of American life. 40% of officially-counted homeless people have jobs. And that's before we get to the millions who are rendered invisible, who are never counted at all.

He is not the only person making money hand over fist in this admin. The Dems better be investigating every freaking one, INCLUDING THIS TIME Jared and Ivanka. No more "let's not involve the kids" bullshit. They are not kids.

Mark my words. As more of these people end up on the streets in desperation, they will be shuttled to the concentration camps on which corporations are making billions of dollars.

You can call it a "litmus test" but … shouldn’t Democrats be able to condemn genocide? @andrewperez.bsky.social

When you defend Israel today, this is what you are defending. I have no words, but I won’t countenance bullshit.

We've been left behind by Europe, China, Japan, Australia, and others who've proliferated solar, electric cars, trains, and buses, geothermal, etc. Our fossil fuel addiction makes us dinosaurs.

It’s arguably less a war than it is just a string of war crimes

Artemis II is the first step toward leaving people on the moon and launching from their to Mars. Sorry, Elon. Hoping NASA gets there first. Of course, you can stay on Mars.

Fascinating piece about #IL09: Across all 435 precincts, the single strongest predictor of Abughazaleh’s vote share was not outside spending exposure, not race, not income, but age votehub.com/2026/04/01/i...

Anyway, "the president wants to take away seniors' health care so he can pursue an illegal forever war" is right there for the Democrats.

Chag Sameach Pesach to everyone who celebrates.

Elon draining and polluting your water because obviously he doesn’t have enough money yet. www.kut.org/energy-envir...

Did he fall asleep yet?

If Zionism is "just Jews returning to their ancestral homeland," then there should be absolutely no question that every Mexican and indigenous American has the right to return to the US as citizens (if they even want to). Right?

Cecilia Wang, National Legal Director of the ACLU, on DOJ saying they're not asking the Supreme Court to overrule Wong Kim Ark: "That is a fatal concession" fuck em up Cecilia

Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Let me guess: He's scowling.

BREAKING: Trump sits front row at the Supreme Court as justices consider ending birthright citizenship, becoming the first sitting president to attend oral arguments.

Its all for Putin.

This is intimidation, plain and simple.

The most pathological liars, most rapacious and selfish people I literally have ever seen.

Great piece by my friend @helaineolen.bsky.social on why more people in CA are going to Mexico for vet care. Why we let private equity buy everything only to drain our bank accounts is beyond me. Truly rapacious and inhumane in every way. nymag.com/intelligence...

they are calling it the scotus cuck chair
