1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups. The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

OK. I'm not surprised the President Trump is telling us lies about Portland. He lies about EVERYTHING. But really? This whopper?!?!? Portland is burning? War Zone? Why aren't the big news outlets printing headlines "Trump's is spreading absolute horseshit". Here: isportlandburning.com

Hey America... Countries probably should not blow up ships and kill civilians from countries they are NOT AT WAR WITH. Trump is using our military to commit international crimes.

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things." nuff said.

"Take your dementia meds grandpa." crooksandliars.com/2025/09/news...

Every night Russia is dropping bombs killing Ukrainian citizens. Men, women, children. F Russia. F Putin. Give Ukraine all the weapons they need to make the price Russia pays high. And our president? Didn't he set a whole bunch of "deadlines" for Russia. Didn't he make all kinds of threats? TACO?

"Five children in Gaza among those killed by Israeli strike while fetching water."

This is stark

Bob Dylan: "So now as I'm leavin', I'm weary as hell The confusion I'm feelin' ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head, and they fall to the floor That if God's on our side, he'll stop the next war" youtu.be/5y2FuDY6Q4M?...

Idaho Attorney general: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools". Jesus wept.

We are sending people to a gulag in El Salvador where they are being tortured. You can't claim you didn't know.

When Democrats were in charge, they gave $300 to families for each child each month. This cut childhood poverty in half! Now Republicans are in charge and are giving trillions of dollars to Richie Rich. Republicans and Democrats are NOT THE SAME.

Did everyone simply forget that the climate is rapidly changing in ways that will kill us all? Was the challenge before us so tough that we just decided to turn away and party on into the night?

REPUBLICANS in the senate just voted in a bill that will strip healthcare from 17,000,000 Americans. AND, give a giant tax break to the richest Americans. AND balloon America's debt by $5T (five trillion) dollars. You can't make this shit up.

Merkley had a pretty effective day. Or will have, if you make this go viral.

Are you paying attention? Republicans intend to cut $50,000,000,000 from Medicare each year. Or did President Trump dropping a bunch of large bombs on a country we were NOT AT WAR WITH distract you?

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

"Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Does the House Republican budget bill reduce our national debt? No, it increases our national debt. Did the Republicans in the House vote for this bill? Yes, yes they did.

"We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.”" www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Hey REPUBLICANS... You wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but you're cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right? f'kers.

at his rally in Michigan, Trump plays a propaganda video of prisoners having their heads shaved at the Gulag in El Salvador to big cheers from the crowd and "U-S-A!" chants

The UK Courts decided that trans-women are not women. An anti-trans activist wrote an op-ed lamenting that she had lost friends because of her righteous stand. Read Erin Reed's response. www.erininthemorning.com/p/anti-trans...

Republicans are monsters part 237. "Judge Rules Trump Cannot Take School Lunch Money From Hungry Kids In Maine Over Trans Students".

Read this please. I know it hurts to face what the US of A has become. But do not close your eyes to this reality. balloon-juice.com/2025/04/12/w...

Join us to protest the mistreatment of student Rümeysa Öztürk by this Republican administration. Monday, April 14th, 9:30am, VT District Court, 11 Elmwood Ave, Burlington, VT.

Another stand alone headline: "Trump Defunds School Lunches In Maine Over Transgender People". F this Republican administration.

Watch the video. They claim she is a gang member. This is us America. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

You realize this "record breaking" day in the market recovered less than 1/2 of the losses since February right? The headlines could have read "Trump retreats, but too late to save your retirement savings".

Wouldn't it be great to know who knew in advance that he was going to cut the tarriffs and bought into the market before today's rise?

There may be a court hearing in Burlington on Monday the 14th for Rümeysa Öztürk. The Turkish student arrested and grabbed off a street in Massachusetts for co-writing an op-ed in the student paper. I hope folks show up to support her! www.boston.com/news/local-n...

trump has gutted the IRS. And then eliminated the part of the Department of Justice that deals with tax crimes. hmmmm. This is SO difficult to understand.

Did you notice how many "news" outlets adopted trump's branding of the import taxes? "Reciprocal". Except they were NOT reciprocal. In fact, they were calculated without any reference to the other countries' import taxes.

You want to understand the new import taxes? Here's the deal. Trump puts an import tax on EVERYTHING. Next industries who grovel and kiss his ass and give him money get "exceptions". It is simply another way for him to blackmail people. Watch who gets exceptions.

DOGE is breaking everything at once, so it's hard to keep track. But don't get confused. Remember, DOGE cut food and medicine for the poorest so they can give enormous tax breaks to the very richest. It's a smash and grab operation.

This is no joke. We sent a man to prison in El Salvador by mistake. And now trump's regime says we can not make El Salvador give him back. If you were wondering why if we needed to imprison anyone we had to do it in another country, this is why.

Wow. Thank you New Mexico for sending Rep. Melanie Stansbury to Congress! youtu.be/qvSm74tQt6Y?...

The US Dept of State has cancelled the foreign student visas of 100s because ... they had the temerity to criticize some actions of our govt. And we (apparently) are so weak we will tolerate NO criticism! Please, will the Democratic senators who voted for Marco Rubio admit what a mistake that was!?!

Didn't you watch The Hunger Games? Don't you realize that trump is President Snow? (Although not nearly as smart). Greg Gutfeld is Caesar Flickerman (with a lot less personality). I'm trying to match Stephen Miller with a character, but there aren't any evil enough to be a good match.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Someone asked me "what can I do?" and I pointed out some good politicians and organizations that will effectively utilize our financial support. I just added a monthly donation to Jamie Raskin. (He's really good!). secure.actblue.com/donate/rsk-2...

There is a congressional hearing today. "“Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the heads of NPR and PBS Accountable." I knew the US was becoming Russia (lusting after other countries land), but apparently we also want to be Maoist China?

Someone should report this terrible breach of national security to our Director of National Intelligence!!! ... ... Oh, wait....

Hey NYT, Hey CNN, Hey NBC, Hey WP, *WHY* were they using Signal for governmental communications, and how common is it for this administration to use Signal rather than regular secure channels? (Hint: With Signal, there would be no record ...)

The Vice President of the US of A said ""Denmark is not being a good ally" and therefore: "If we need to take Greenland that is what President Trump will do because he doesn't care about what Europeans scream at us" We aren't simply aligned with Russia, we ARE Russia.

"At the heart of this issue is Christianity’s reliance on vertical morality — a framework that prioritizes authority over understanding, obedience over empathy. This contrasts sharply with horizontal morality, which values equality, mutual respect ..." edgarrooke.substack.com/p/the-gospel...
