@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

It looks like ICE is becoming Trump’s Gestapo. Nobody is safe. We must take the offensive. It will soon be too late. Even Trump-appointed judges are voicing alarm. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

Oh look, another Russian mouthpiece in the White House. Nothing to worry about here, folks.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

There's an important strategy behind Donald Trump's constant firehose of falsehoods. And it comes straight from the dictator's playbook. Let's talk about the lies. youtu.be/HKYdVSGDIhY

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

www.npr.org/2025/03/30/g... So, that’s actually not allowed…The Constitution isn’t optional, sir. This isn’t a reality show — it’s reality. Two terms, that’s it.

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Thankfully, concert season has finally started…a much anticipated distraction from all the craziness.. it’s good practice to step away for your mental health. Find some happiness and grab it with both hands..

What a weekend! Across the U.S., over 100,000 Americans mobilized — including more than 34,000 attendees at the Bernie/AOC rally, marking the biggest political event since Obama. Protests erupted in multiple states to defend Social Security, Tesla takedown protest gained momentum, and so much more!

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

Just another example of traitor and coward betraying our country and its brave fighting women and men

Just goes to show: No amount of money can buy some people even a single clue

This is just not fair.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Tariffs have thrown the auto industry into disarray, and workers on the Iron Range are paying the price. I’ve been in touch with the union to make sure that laid-off workers are getting connected to the resources they need. www.startribune.com/iron-range-l...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Homewood-Flossmoor High School District 233 will pay $3.5 million to settle a 2022 lawsuit brought by a now former student who claimed school officials failed to protect her from an alleged sexual assault at the Flossmoor school.

“Who’s going to teach those new people? Who’s going to mentor them, and who’s going to bring them up to speed?”

I asked Schumer about this last night and his answer was basically that they’re wrong.

Sen. Jeff Merkley said Schumer’s reversal made his own opposition even more of a “hell no.” “You don’t stop a bully by handing over your lunch money,” Merkley told CNN. “That’s exactly what this House spending bill does.”

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

In Season 8, two of the women who dumped their respective fiancés at the altar cited the men's inability to engage meaningfully with political issues that were important to their partners. By @aishaharris.bsky.social

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.
