Republican majority leaders Thune and Johnson refuse to call back their members for an emergency session in the biggest American crisis of the century. Minority leaders Schumer and Jeffries should have their members in session right now on the steps of the capitol, if that's what they have to do.

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

Fuck this asshole and damn him to hell.

More cities nationwide have deactivated Flock cameras, with some officials saying they learned their data was being shared more widely, and with more out-of-state agencies, than they realized.

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

Lots of focus on Trump’s unhinged language, but not many pointing out that he extended his own deadline again.

People need to understand that the party in the minority has very few options to stop or control what happens in Congress. If you don’t understand that, then you’re likely to fall for all the people blaming Democrats.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

Democrats must stop enabling Republicans, especially those who continue to say, "my friend on the other side." They are actively working to harm us all. There are no good Republicans left in the party.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Oh they meant THESE illegal orders

I wonder if there was some sort of reason the Founders routed the war power through Congress rather than the whim of one person. Probably not.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

Journalistic malpractice and democratic betrayal.

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

This clown preps for his daily Fox appearances by scanning a collection of right-wing talking points on social media which he subsequently clips and scrambles in his head then spews them out in an incoherent word salad. Fox’s useful idiot.

Lee on Epstein Files: We’re not going to stop “bitching” about this. Why is somebody who has a lot of money able to buy this much protection? Why should you be able to get away with heinous crimes like this if you’re a president, a prince, or a CEO?

Just a quick reminder that Ronald Reagan yanked the solar panels off the White House. If America had remained on the path Jimmy Carter set us on, nobody would be talking about the Strait of Hormuz or gas prices right now. Republicans have been fucking America and the world for decades.

Please help this lawyer. The DHS working with LAPD, shot and blinded an 18 year old named Tucker Collins on 3/28 in LA. His right eye has been surgically removed. We are asking anyone who has a video or has information to come forward by calling our office (310-693-5561) Jim DeSimone

🚨 Ever Alvarenga, an asylum seeker, was driving to work Thursday morning when he was rear-ended by an ICE vehicle. He is still in the hospital after suffering significant injuries to his head, chest, back, & hands. [1/2]

Russia sends another oil tanker to Cuba — and Trump will say nothing Putin continues to play in Trump’s face. If you can’t see something stinks there at this point it’s because you don’t want to.

The Republican Party owns this war They weren't 'lied to' or 'misled', they gleefully ushered this in Every single sitting Republican Senator, Representative, Cabinet Official, appointees... and all Republican candidates running for office... It's precisely the same for the Epstein Files

💯 There must be accountability.

Ryan: Well, this is what happens when you have a five time draft dodger who spends most of his time on the golf course at Mar-a-Lago, instead of being commander-in-chief

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Here we go. With new polls showing a Doomsday Scenario for Republicans in the midterms, Trump escalates efforts to try and steal the midterms with an unconstitutional and illegal order.

Just reupping this image from my newsletter last week, that I hope people will feel free to save and liberally spred around the interwebs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump has not “given” the USPS special control over mail ballots because that is not a thing that is his to give. PLEASE STOP PRETENDING THAT THE CARNIVAL BARKER HAS MAGIC POWERS JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE HAS MAGIC POWERS.

Congratulations to Corin Ashley for his new single, “Head Full of Holly”, debuting in the top 20 on this week’s Radio Indie Alliance chart!

Repeat after me: If they can overturn Roe v. Wade, we can overturn Citizens United… And we will.

1. Noem blames Stephen Miller and Trump for ICE violence 2. Noem is fired 3. Lewandowski is fired 4. 2 DHS officials tell the Daily Mail that Stephen Miller instructed ICE to cause violence 5. Someone leaked photos of Noem's husband cross-dressing to the Daily Mail Do I have that right?

One of the biggest lies of AI is the claim it would be intelligent. It isn't. It doesn't know or understand anything. It can only make connections between datapoints based on tons of data sets to guess the associative strength between those same datapoints. That is explicitly not intelligent.

You need to get your colleagues in Congress to impeach this lunatic and hold his corrupt accomplices accountable. Then you need to work to have the Senate convict. Americans are fed up with the Congress and Senate doing NOTHING to protect our interests and make our lives better.

Thrilled to see @bgnmag.bsky.social here on @bsky.app -give them a follow!

These words represent absolute insanity. What are you doing to remove these lunatics from office @markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @whipkclark.bsky.social ?

Keep your religion out of our government.

This is your reminder that if you're a person with a uterus and you've been exposed to tear gas, your reproductive system may be in for a hell of a recovery period. Despite my best efforts to protect myself on Saturday, I'm no exception. I'll spare you the details but this week's gonna suck

At least I know what this is, this time around. The first time this happened I thought something was seriously wrong and started checking for cancer. That the feds use this shit with abandon on their own citizens is a stain on this government. Anyway, protect yourself, friends. PPE is guud

The new White House App the Trump admin just rolled out got a Community Note.

Mainstream journalists are abdicating their duty. Cartoonists are the real heroes of the moment.

The NYT did a deep dive looking into trump's ballroom design and found that it was poorly designed with staircases leading to nowhere...

That sure looks like assault. Shameful.

It is extremely wrong how Dems talking point on this is that paying TSA by EO is totally legal and he should have done it sooner. It is not legal, that $10B is only for border security and TSA is not border security. He's stealing the power of the purse, stop saying he should have done it sooner!

Has anyone asked Homan why the ICE agents are armed when TSA agents are not?

Trump is continuing his cruel campaign of contempt against communities of color—a campaign that undermines efforts to combat historic discrimination. This is unacceptable and must end now. I will continue to hold this Administration accountable.
