Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed and ratified after the Civil War that banned seditionists from holding public office. SCOTUS ruled that a federal law didn't require Trump's name to be struck from the presidential ballot. It was up to the states to decide.

Beggars belief that Met Police is in talks with #Palantir about giving them access to highly sensitive data, when there’s already such concern over its links with ICE & Israeli military. Palantir already has UK contracts worth over £500m, incl. with NHS. We should be scrapping them not signing more

"Trump exploded on Truth Social at the extreme SCOTUS, some of whom he branded 'weak” and stupid.' Birthright Citizenship was on Trump’s mind as was the tariff decision. He accused some of the conservative extreme Justices of giving Democrats 'win after win'.” www.palmerreport.com/politics/wea...

Rodrigo Duterte, the former president of the Philippines, will stand trial for crimes against humanity after judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) confirmed his charges.

@hartmannreport.com Trump's DOJ Indicts the People Who Track Nazis The Southern Poverty Law Center has spent 55 years hunting Klansmen, neo-Nazis, and hate groups.✳️ Yesterday Trump's DOJ indicted them. (✳️These are the caliber of anarchists recruited for Hegseth's White Christian army.) 1

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh has frequently described the GOP under Donald Trump as a "cult" that has abandoned traditional conservative ideas to focus entirely on loyalty to Trump.

With its citizens yearning for the kind of prosperous life enjoyed by other Europeans, Bulgaria held its 8th eighth election in 5 yrs. Bulgarians voted decisively for politicians promising change and a crackdown on corruption, delivering a blow to the center-right. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/w...

A draft dodger is arresting war veterans for protesting his illegal war with Iran. Remember in November.

Florida's economy works by converting pension funds into real estate speculation & medical debt. I'm impressed it's lasted as long as it has

@freespeechtv.bsky.social Donald Trump boasted, 'after the negotiations, Iran will no have nuclear weapons'. Rick Stengel counted, 'let me remind everyone, they do not have nuclear weapons now, or anything close to it. This isn't a diplomatic achievement; this is the status quo'."

We do not need another compromised billionaire in the Trump regime. Republican nominees will say anything to land administrative jobs. Fealty to Trump outweighs competency. Listen to Kevin Warsh's testimony. If he vows to only call balls and strikes is a dead giveaway to his duplicity.

Yes, this is true. About 60 U.S. military veterans and family members were arrested on Monday, April 20, 2026, after occupying the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building to protest the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. Police reported approximately 66 people were arrested.

Allegedly tRump tried to grab the nuclear codes in a White House meltdown—only for the Joint Chiefs chairman to stand up and say “No.” Apparently, even the military knows this unhinged man is too dangerous for the football. How much longer can America risk it? mcsp.short.gy/A86o

A group of journalists, led by Dan Rather & Sam Donaldson, are asking the White House correspondents to use the annual dinner for something other than taking selfies & 'putting aside differences'. They're asking for a clarion call for freedom of the press and to list Trump's many attacks on freedom.

Byeeeeee. Americans deserve a Labor Secretary who will fight for their rights — not someone fighting scandals and allegations their family members are sexually assaulting federal staff. It’s time for Hegseth and Patel to go next.

The rumor mill at the West Wing is alive w/gossip about who is going to replace Kash Patel. Patel was recently outed for his alleged bacchanalian excesses, thanks to a recent article appearing in The Atlantic. It seems Patel spends a great deal of his time drunk www.palmerreport.com/politics/you...

Remember when President Obama signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action w/Iran (which ended their uranium enrichment and led to the release of 4 US hostages they held) and part of the deal was to return $400M of their own money that we’d held frozen for years? hartmannreport.com/p/saturday-r...

Chasstev365 @demunderground: "Trump says the USA and Iran have reached an agreement!" 12 Hours later: "Iran says no such deal has been reached." "Trump then quickly rants about "Fake News" and Iranians would face serious consequences if they don't accept a deal."

Coupled with the Palantir manifesto this weekend, the KKK masks are off and it won't be long before they are openly talking about the need for a 'Final Solution'. There is probably already a database (Thanks Flock cameras) of targets being prepared.

"Palantir is creating digital infrastructure for the multiple forms of state violence & control... from the software facilitating mass deportations to the AI wielded in wars against colonized people." @alfatau.bsky.social explains the drive for domination. inthesetimes.com/article/pala...

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
