I wanted to start this week off with a sense of slight optimism. The backlash against the shooting this weekend has been real, and the pushback from Americans shows that we are still standing together.

whole world watching

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

American citizens are under attack with a shoot to kill order from our government. Everything is severely broken. He needs to GO NOW!

Where are Jeffries and Schumer?? Still talking about the price of avocados?

!!!! "Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."

A very special fuck you to the 7 so-called Democrats who just voted to fund this Nazi kill squad shit.

The Tribune reports ICE transported several witnesses into detention. Trump's terrorists are locking up witnesses to the murder.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Who can get the witnesses to the shooting and their evidence safely out of whipple?

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.” - Mister Rogers 💛 The human world, it’s a mess ❤️‍🩹💚🌎

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Yep! That’s The Guy! Reeks Of Hypocrisy….

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

“We don’t want anyone being able to buy anything of the shelf that could kill you” says guy who is cool with selling guns at drive through liquor stores.

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

The cruelty is the point. Let me repeat that. The cruelty is the point. They are dehumanizing these kids, these people so that we get desensitized to it. We already are. We should be in the streets. This is disgusting. A little girl with a bow in her hair. Is she really the 'worst of the worst'?

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

totally horrific the conditions of these abandoned dolphins & orca at a closed marine park in France! www.yahoo.com/news/2-kille...

Right @jaketapper.bsky.social

This photo tells you everything you need to know about the cable news ecosystem in the United States. It is the perfect distillation of the moment. That Jumbo Elliott, by the way, is the former tackle for the New York Giants.

ILLINOIS… Gov. Pritzker…

The woman Trump keeps parading stole from her own grandchildren. Money was raised for the children and he evil witch stole it. Spread this far and wide.

If you can't give up your wizard books, whatever, but don't call yourself an ally. We've been screaming this from the rooftops for years. "I didn't know" doesn't cut it anymore and "separation of art from artist" never did.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

We have two Supreme Court Justices—Thomas & Alito—who have come out of the closet about their contempt for the Constitution.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social STOP telling America we are in a Constituional crisis (which we are) but ACTING like it’s politics as usual. IF IT’S A GDMF CRISIS, ACT LIKE IT! We don’t want to see more speeches & interviews. We want to see open rebellion from YOU!!

Karoline Leavitt is a murderer. She is wanted by the Interpol. She leaves a trail of blood wherever she goes.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.
