yeah it is critical that dems win the senate

On April 25, join a local event in defense of immigrants in your community. As the regime buys up warehouses to convert into concentration camps, it’s critical that we come together to oppose the literal warehousing of people in our country: www.mobilize.us/disappearedi...

If I wanted to party and drink I simply wouldn’t become the director of the FBI

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Four Democrats voted with the GOP on reauthorizing a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. If you’re represented by Gluesenkamp Perez, Golden, Gottheimer, or Suozzi, ask them why they’re siding with the Trump regime on government surveillance.

Probably safe to delete "said she".

Hungary’s election was really bad news for anyone who hates democracy.

Grijalva to RFK Jr: "You apparently once cut the penis off a roadkill raccoon"

Trump slowly evolving into dril

a phrase that has been coming to mind a lot lately: reality always bats last

When quoting Bible verses it is helpful to use words from an actual Bible, instead of using a FAKE Bible quote from Pulp Fiction! A self-identified Christian, who can’t even correctly quote from the Bible & this is something he wants us to believe he’s good at. He is incompetent at everything.

a yelling RFK Jr denies making comments about Black children that Rep. Sewell printed out and put on a placard

This just failed.

It was a loooong night - but ultimately we were able to show some real strength by preventing a clean FISA reauthorization that fails to protect Americans’ privacy. They were only able to get a very short extension that runs until the end of April. We still have a chance to get this right.

In a big loss for Mike Johnson, the House rejected his proposed reauthorization of a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. This fight isn’t over, so make sure your representative hears from you: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-co...

We can’t wait until Trump tries stealing the midterms to flex our collective economic muscle. That’s why May Day is so important.

That was fast. I go for a walk as the polls close, and when I get back, AP has already called NJ11.

You might or or might not (but I’m guessing might not) be surprised to learn that CBS News invited Stephen Miller to be their guest at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Hegseth, too. www.breakermedia.com/p/axel-s-tel...

whale head. raccoon penis. it's glaringly obvious that rfk jr is assembling some sort of Super Animal... and i fear he may soon acquire flamingo legs

Fascinating paragraph from Scott Alexander, where he admits he’s the dog that caught the car

It’s like when the 2017 Super Bowl ads were like “perhaps we should treat our fellow citizens with respect and dignity” and Republicans panned them for being anti-Trump. The important thing is that there was zero self reflection.

I don't know if young people these days understand that this kind of grotesque gutter racism was simply not acceptable in public... not that long ago!

"The effort comes in response to longstanding criticism that Harvard’s faculty leans overwhelmingly liberal." Golly, I wonder why faculties tend to be overwhelmingly liberal? Are liberals more drawn to teaching? Have conservatives been engaged in a long war on science and knowledge? WHO KNOWS?

HISTORICAL AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: These people have been dispossessed of the fruits of their own labor for centuries. They were denied the opportunity to build generational wealth and influence. We will strive to correct this. MAGA AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: Give me money because I like to say the N-word

We’re excited to join May Day Strong, labor groups, and other allies to flex our economic power in a massive day of economic disruption on May 1. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: www.mobilize.us/mayday/?utm_...

This afternoon, the House will vote on reauthorizing a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. Call your representative and tell them to vote NO on Section 702 to stop Trump from gobbling up mass surveillance data.

TURN THIS UP

40 Senate Democrats voted for Sen. Sanders’ bill to block arms sales to Israel, a 50% increase in Democratic support from the last Senate vote. But in yet another act of failed leadership, Schumer voted against the bill — along with Blumenthal, Coons, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Gillibrand, and Rosen.

It's long past time we stopped sending Israel weapons to enable war crimes. Tonight's vote shows how fast the ground has shifted - and will continue to shift.

This is happening to tens of thousands of people. It is a disgrace. It is a parody of due process; after more than a decade, the government suddenly orders you to return to a court hearing in just days, thousands of miles from where you live. And it's tearing lives apart.

INBOX: Amid rising tendons between Trump and Pope Leo, the administration has abruptly canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida.

Yeah, I think one of the most incredible things about the pope-off is that when previous popes have done similar things, it had to go through a translation barrier, but no nuance and no shade is lost when the American pope is being bitchy [complimentary]

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” ~ Pope Leo

Precisely the kind of abuse of religion for political purposes that the Pope is speaking out against.

Historian and journalist here: PRO TIP: Media coverage does trend negative when you’re obviously losing a war that you started for no reason.

Hahahhahahahaahahahahaha 800 kinds of stupid

Great news: Renea Gamble has been cleared of all criminal charges for the costume she wore to a No Kings protest. You may remember that Renea was arrested in October after dressing up as a “dick-tator.” Renea’s message after her win in court: “As Alabamians, we dare to defend our rights.”

"pope should stay out of politics." brother you need to stay out of a size medium

Very cool, Burger King advertising right next to racism

Teen births crashing is good!!!

I suspect Trump officials and right wing media are using AI to write speeches, accounting for the inexplicable linkage to inappropriate (or ironically appropriate) pop culture references. bsky.app/profile/jess...
