A butterfly vigil was held today, the one year anniversary of Virginia's suicide. She was a warrior for the Epstein survivors sisters & so many victims around our nation who did not receive justice. Thank you Virginia & I hope you are at peace. 🦋 www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

#tdih 2004, NFL star and soldier Pat Tillman was killed in Afghanistan. U.S. government used his death in pro-war propaganda. The family learned Tillman was killed by “friendly fire” & bravely spoke out against the war & the cover-up. Read ⬇️ 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/fo...

In the same way the Right invokes “fine for me but not for you” in the gerrymandering wars, it’s the same for free speech, even when it’s as common sense and uncontroversial as Sharon McMahon’s College Where Charlie Kirk Was Killed Revokes Graduation Speaker’s Invite www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Another close call at another airport. You know, the right relentlessly hammered Pete Buttigieg about stuff like this when he was in office, saying he was inexperienced and a DEI hire. But now…..crickets. Nothing about the real world guy.

Daily Reminder: Release th Epstein Files👇🏻

If you watch anything today, make it be this clip of @bencollins.bsky.social talking about what real strength is:

A rather menacing tweet from Russia's Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

More serious thoughts on this in this thread bsky.app/profile/elio...

I am proud that Democracy Docket was among the few news outlets covering these critical meetings. Here are four big takeaways you need to know. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/4-b...

It’s absolutely outrageous that U.S. journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been jailed in Kuwait for six weeks for reposting publicly available, verifiable information. The @state-department.bsky.social should leave no stone unturned until he is safely back home. #FreeAhmed

www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/17/m... 🧵 1/ And even getting their way, the regime doubles down on anti-constitution, anti-1A authoritarianism. DOJ: “attending elite colleges and universities in the United States is a privilege afforded to foreign students who respect our values and follow our laws.”

Keep your eyes on the ball, America, even as they try to hide it. It’ll be coming around later, aimed squarely at your head.

Your Daily Reminder that No one has Ever been held accountable for #TrumpEpsteinFiles and We Won’t Let This Go 🤷🏽‍♀️

This is inexcusable - a result of this regime’s incompetent civilian leaders, like Hegseth. They’ve either fired everyone who knew how to do supply logistics or they overruled the advice of whomever was left. The service members get this, while Trump gets McDonalds Door-Dashed to the White House.

NEW: 14 months after @wired.com's @telliotter.bsky.social first revealed the young technologists of DOGE, the impacts of this "chaotic" Musk-inspired effort continue to reverberate across the US government. Tori reports: www.wired.com/story/where-...

Thrice married Paula White blowing into the microphone with her magic powers. Comedy gold.

SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIAL: TRUMP PUSHED THIS CEASEFIRE THROUGH - AXIOS REPORTER

Israel cabinet has not held a vote on the ceasefire at all - I24 News

No! I’m shocked.

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves." -- Abraham Lincoln, who died #OTD 1865

On this day, in 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier.

🤦‍♂️

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

😂😂

In case you missed it, POTUS maintains he though the AI slop photo he posted was him as a doctor

It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS: Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it. Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy. 🧵

Great advice!

Guessing this is why he's having 'Executive Time' until 2 PM today ... 😉

Saw a headline in today’s paper: “Authoritarian Regimes Prove Very Difficult to Break”. Naturally, given yesterday’s election, I thought it was about Orbán and maybe, by extension, his great fan and fellow traveler Trump. It was about Iran. A sign of the times.

100%

Beefing with the Pope, and now this??

If Trump thinks the pope is too woke and soft on crime wait til he hears about Jesus

Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

We were never consulted on Palantir gaining access to our health data. But we've since made our views known. And in just 4️⃣ DAYS, MPs will debate activating the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract. Tell you MP to do the right thing 👇 www.amnesty.org.uk/get-involved...

BIG day today in Hungary, but at least in the short run, the choice is between authoritarianism and democracy, with liberal democracy at the backburner.

Where is Kelly Bovino Umekubo? She was subpoenaed in the Epstein Case but refused. She was named in a trust by Epstein. She was accused of participating in the abuse by Virginia. Where is she? Subpoena her & Melania. #EpsteinFiles

A must read #epsteinfiles

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

Follow this thread. Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today. Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane. 1/2

At this moment in the world, reflect on that - 115 of 195 American ambassadorial posts worldwide sit vacant. Is there any doubt that this is an intentional destruction of a country and its power, leaving us less safe? Ineptitude and stupidity are fellow travelers here, but they follow intent.
