Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

😕

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

Really hope they’re getting lots of photos of uncircumcised dicks that say, “You tell me.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

We love Bluesky don’t we?

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

MTG to be investigated for insider trading. SMITE!!

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A #ladybug preparing for takeoff They can eat up to 5,000 aphids in their lifetime, making them natural pest controllers! In some cultures they’re associated with luck

They are going to deport American citizens. Period. The. End. 🤬

I can’t compete with this

This is what corruption looks like.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow. She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

So…lock them up?

Circling back on this…

Gooood morning sinners~! 🙃

AOC is obviously the leader of the Democratic party. The time between now and when that becomes the reality, will very, very likely be more of the same tired appeasement tactics and sad sop losing.

Wait. Schumer is starting a BOOK TOUR THIS WEEK?!? Is that why he rolled over so fast?!? I’m done.

trump has bruises on his hands, he drags his leg and is stumbling on the fucking stairs, clown boy is falling apart. You know the media would be all over this if President Biden were falling with bruises and shit. WHERE IS THE COVERAGE?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT THE FUCK, CHUCK?

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Wow this guy totally gets it

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that DOGE is subject to government transparency laws, allowing the public to access government records—a legal defeat for the White House, which had designated DOGE as an office exempt from open records laws.

ICE arrested a legal US resident at his Columbia University apartment in NYC and sent him to Buttfuck, Louisiana in the middle of the night, all because he led a protest against Israel. No accusation of violence. Just speech. His pregnant wife is American. Fucked beyond fucked.

ICYMI: Trump has dropped investigations and enforcement actions against 89 lawbreaking corporations, including: -42 cases at the CFPB -15 cases at the DOJ -6 cases at the EEOC -7 crypto cases at the SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

Keep this in mind as House Republicans vote for a budget framework that would gut Medicaid (relied on by 72 million) and food stamp programs (relied on by 42 million people).

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Democrats should be running ads nonstop in red districts that show how Trump has hurt the people there. Airplane safety, health benefits, VA, everything. Lay it out there. Go full paranoia about Musk and DOGE shits getting private info. And tell voters to call their rep/senator and give them hell.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
