Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

Think voting doesn’t matter? 766 votes.

he forgot the word 'special'

So now Democrats are more of an enemy than Russia or China. The evil that permeates trumps soul grows and grows. Every Christian leader that does not speak up is complicit.

We’re honestly overwhelmed by the support on our last post, thank you all so much 💖 So many of you said it was the first time you’d seen us, which really surprised us as we post every day. We’re a small shelter just trying to give these rescues a safe and happy life 🐾

Just days ago, Witkoff told us on @cnbc.com that Putin said he WASN'T sharing intel and that we had to "take him at his word."

One Trump-allied company controlling more than 60% of local TV news in your city means: - Trump could have more influence over what you watch - Your prices could skyrocket - You could have fewer choices But state AGs are fighting this, and I'm with them. We've got to stop this.

The city of Tyre is now being asked to evacuate, which is just utter madness. Tyre is 1.5 hours by car from Beirut. x.com/AvichayAdrae...

NEWS: Six months before the Trump admin began bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts. State’s energy division got completely DOGE’d. And with it went the people who knew how to plan for a global energy crisis.

Jimmy Lai should be free, not sitting in a Hong Kong jail.  I stand with Sebastian and Claire Lai in calling for their father to be given his freedom. Journalism is not a crime; China must respect this right per the ICCPR.

With the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirming that his regime is receiving military assistance from Russia and China, it is reasonable to conclude that the war has become a global conflict. https://www.ms.now/news/iran-war-military-russia-china-foreign-minister

Just for fun, here are some images of the same DOGE douche (Justin Fox) at the raid on the US Institute of Peace via the MPD body cam footage I obtained:

I dunno man, I think precipitously canceling people's funding caused a lot of damage to other people's careers and lives and reputations and maybe they should live with the blowback. They come from a media ecosystem that makes public lists of insufficiently bigoted professors.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Hegseth: Why do the headlines say inflammatory things like “war intensifies”? Pentagon official press release 3 days ago: Hegseth says war intensifies

The implication here is that a year of secret police crackdowns fueled by racial profiling have left thousands of sleeper agents unmolested, great stuff. *FOX NEWS RADIO AIRS TRUMP INTERVIEW RECORDED ON THURSDAY *TRUMP ON IRANIAN SLEEPER CELLS: THERE COULD BE MORE THAN 1,700

Trying tabs on dogetrack.info/people/ because the tables get dense

DHS is retaliating against FOIA officers for making lawful releases. At the same time, most of the agency's FOIA officials (including at CBP) are furloughed, and the govt's procurement database has been absorbed by a website that effectively makes it unusable. They are hiding your docs from you.

"A researcher at a far-right think tank helped Justice Department prosecutors craft their indictment for terror charges against an alleged 'north Texas antifa cell,' the researcher testified Monday."

(11/11) In this new normal, costs are individually adjusted to a consumer’s maximum threshold and wages to a worker’s minimum floor. The next time you see a price, know that it may not reflect what the item is worth—but what the algorithm believes *you* are worth.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump in Jan. 6 case gets life sentence for child sex crimes

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

ICYMI: A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

It should be a five alarm for all Americans that the Pentagon is going to the mat to force an AI company to let the Defense Department use its powerful technology to surveil Americans. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/u...

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

These words by Supreme Justice Gorsuch should be printed, in full, on tomorrow’s front pages.

Today is World Whale Day! We honor the marine giants and raise awareness about their conservation. Several whale species are currently listed as endangered or critically endangered, facing high risks of extinction due to human activities. #WorldWhaleDay

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Tim Cook has been more than willing to leverage authoritarianism in the PRC when it benefits his company; we should not be surprised that he is doing so here, too.

This man is a thief, coward and hypocrite. He argues the U.S. can't afford to protect workers from scammy corporations through the CFPB, but it CAN afford to pay millions and millions robbed from three different agencies to pay for his imperial guard. #stopvought www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

"In Hutchins Texas, ICE reportedly bought a former Amazon property for $80 million. The broker’s contact on the listing was Majestic Realty, a Los Angeles–based firm owned by Ed Roski Jr, a Trump campaign contributor who is a partial owner of the L.A. Lakers..." jacobin.com/2026/02/ware...

At least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020 and the wrongdoing includes patterns of violence, sexual abuse and corruption, a review by The Associated Press found.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Human-rights issues typified by cases like Jimmy Lai’s “aren’t distractions from more important business,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes. “They are the business.”

While the New York Times ponders what a Russian hockey team might look like at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, the rest of the world wonders what life might have held for Sasha Zdanovic, who was murdered by the Russians at the age of four […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

When Bad Bunny scaled a utility pole during his Super Bowl show, it was more than a stunt. His performance highlighted Puerto Rico's frequent power cuts, which have been exacerbated by energy privatization. We're fighting for an equitable and just clean energy system for all Puerto Ricans.

This was the USSR's policy

Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids

In fairness, he’s no more racist than the guy who was president before Biden.

TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs. In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications. One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board. Funny how that works.
