Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is a 1,116-page wrecking ball for America. It dismantles our social safety nets, sells out our future, and lines the pockets of the wealthy. That’s not ‘America First'-it's selling our economy to the highest bidder.

The largest Medicaid cuts in history so billionaires can get another tax break while adding trillions to the national debt seems like a catastrophically bad idea. Kill the bill.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

ONE WEEK UNTIL NO KINGS DAY! At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS. There are nearly 2,000 events planned. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

All Americans can soon look forward to being imprisoned for no reason, then released so you can be charged with a made-up crime and re-imprisoned!

I'm not sure what this guy is arguing about but I'm pretty sure he just lost.

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.”l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.

Ben Schrader’s resignation is a massive red flag: a respected career prosecutor just walked away rather than participate in what many now see as a dangerous abuse of the justice system. The case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia has become the whim of a power-drunk political machine.

Palestinian photojournalist Abdel Rahim Khudr breaks down after discovering the loss of 48 family members in an Israeli air attack that hit his home in northern Gaza on the first day of Eid al-Adha.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

What's going on in LA should be a real wakeup call for folks who don't already know that a fully liberal government can still wind up a police state and without some major change to the way we talk about the militarization of policing, nothing will get better

This tweet alone warrants his impeachment and removal.

I'd read the phone book if Dylan Penningroth wrote it, but this is on a topic far more interesting:

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead. We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

It was completely irresponsible for Trump to hire Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary. He is grossly unqualified as was shown when he added his wife and brother to a Signal chat where he shared highly classified information.

Mike Walz is being pushed out as National Security Adviser for adding a journalist to one Signal chat. What about Hegseth? He is a danger to our security.

UPDATE: Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking for more than 22 hours. It's now the 2nd longest floor speech in the history of the Senate, according to MSNBC.

France slams US 'interference' in firms' diversity programs The criticism comes after the US embassy in Paris warned several French firms against using diversity and inclusion programs, a frequent target of the Trump administration.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

The detention of Istanbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu along with over 100 other municipal officials and politicians is a politically motivated move to stifle lawful political activities in Türkiye. İmamoğlu and others detained should be released immediately. www.hrw.org/news/2025/03...

A huge anti-Erdoğan protest tonight in Istanbul, defying a four day national ban on protests, to denounce the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. "Break down those barricades without harming the police. Take to the streets and squares", Ozgur Ozel, an opposition leader, told protesters.

Çarşıda pazarda olmayanlar ekonomik krizin can yakıcılığını bilemezler. Emekliler darda, geçinemiyorlar. İBB olarak emeklilerimizin de yanlarında oluyoruz. 10.076 emeklimize pazar desteği ödemesi cuma günü yapılacak, 100.760.000 TL'lik bütçemiz emekli desteğine aktarılacak.

Morning Bluesky. In Türkiye, Erdogan has arrested his biggest rival and the man likely to beat him in an election, the mayor of İstanbul, Ekrem İmamoğlu. Several members of his close circle have also been taken into custody. Now a full-on autocracy.

Breaking News: Chief Justice John Roberts, in a rare statement, rebuked President Trump for calling for a judge’s impeachment.

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

Also no funding for Musk-related businesses.

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts. There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

Ex-Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton is calling for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and current National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to resign over the Ukraine debacle.

For the FIRST TIME in my life, and Ive served this country and its presidents for 23 yrs in uniform, I am CONDEMNING the president and vice president of the United States of America. These two can go to hell.

“MOSCOW’S MAN: Putin and Trump, the alliance of predators”

Golly, if that’s what Trump said, it must be true. He was sincerely committed to Ukraine all this time but then they fought and it’s all suddenly over. It’s sad that Trump meant well and Zelenskyy was so mean to him.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

To the guy with the OLYMPIAN size USA on the back of his jacket, READ the room. Les Canadiennes in the Vieux-Montréal café were polite, of course, dismissively rebuking my fellow American with only a shake of the head, but the newspaper headline in the rack by the door, not so much.

My friends are starting to lose their jobs; their partners and children are losing their healthcare. The ripple effects of this destruction will be so wide ranging, I can’t even fathom. I’m planting a big garden this summer; ready to be part of my local safety net. It’s time to be all in.

the ugliest man on earth wants to make a gold coast of the ground where children were murdered wants to force families from their homes, from their land, from their livelihoods, from their history wants to take from the palestinians in our midsts their hope and their dignity

Powerful Ken Martin won the chair seat, but just before the vote—former chair @donnabrazile.bsky.social talks about members’ freedom to vote their conscience without retaliation. Clearly an issue!

Ill NOT beg for 'followers'. Im looking for like minded folks ready to march into battle to save the country I served for 23 yrs in uniform. And to share a beverage with! You get what ya see. Nothing more.
