It’s hard to put into words what kind of Pandora’s box this may all become. Living in a decade of unprecedented times

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This is pure gold! 🤣😂🤣

Hot take: it’s probably a good thing that the US loses its place providing international aid. Other countries can likely provide for them much better.

“Your countries are going to hell. I can tell you, I’m really good at this stuff” is a 10/10 United Nations appearance. Just objectively fantastic stuff.

Trump will come for all of us. He will bar organizations that criticize him. Intimidate critics for speaking negatively about the administration in public. He will turn the power of the Department of Justice to investigate any organization or person who opposes him and his administration.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

💯

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

I've kept saying one of the most dangerous MAGA Horsemen is RFK JR due to the damage he will do to America's public health infrastructure and his promotion of reckless, baseless, and destructive anti-vaxx conspiracies. You're seeing it play out now, folks. Should be bigger news.

Watchdog Group Downgrades U.S. From Democracy To Whatever Political System Lobsters Have theonion.com/watchdo...

Being dumb and ignorant sounds like a much higher quality life atp

Ghislaine Maxwell is about to tell a lot of lies about Democrats in order to get a pardon or sentence reduction from Donald Trump. As non-partisan journalists, we are required to repeat those lies.

This is a truly heinous & sickening way to treat human beings. By the way, the majority of immigrants being detained have ZERO criminal record. Republicans hold the majority. It's past time they join Democrats in calling for real oversight of these human rights violations.

Meiselas: Mar-A-Lago was used as the grounds in cases to sex traffic underage girls. And this isn't me being conspiratorial... it's documented.

The year is 2030. The Onion is the most respected and accurate news source. Fox News broadcasts exclusively in nursery rhyme format. Somewhere, deep in a bunker, a journalist whispers, “It wasn’t always like this…”

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

It really is incredible how despite a half-century of expanding executive power, ballooning the debt, bloating the government, and policing private behavior, the GOP is still discussed as the party of small government libertarianism and fiscal responsibility. Just no relation to reality at all.

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Man, I really don’t want to live through some sort of dark ages for science, the arts, and general humanity, but here we are.

Exactly this!!!

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

cc: Etsy — we are seeing a lot of these messages

I know Benny and our response, etc., is tired at this point, but his hollow emptiness is perhaps most abundantly clear to those of us who worked with him at BuzzFeed, when he chameleoned into what he needed to be there. It is — in some ways, I think — both appalling and obvious to us to see this.

Yeah it’s all fine

Things are going well

This is absurd. @nytimes.com needs to find a better way to convey to readers what it knows to be true: These "findings" are not actual "findings" in any sense that most people would understand the word. The casual reader comes away with zero sense of the deep rot of bad faith at play here.

Senate Republicans blocked Senator Merkley's amendment to prevent officials from selling access and enriching themselves with crypto schemes. They're very busy cutting health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts, but still found time to protect the Trump family's corruption. Outrageous.

Rounding people up and shoving them into vans without due process is wrong. Period.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

Van Hollen: "The real problem is Republicans refuse to ask billionaires to contribute more to the overall good of the country ... they have an obsession with giving tax cuts to very rich people and big corporations and everything else is sacrificed for that cause."

Email from Brown admin: government stopped payment on existing NIH grants as of April 3; in three months since, the gov't has cumulatively withheld $45 million in NIH grant reimbursements. Whatever injunctions, court orders, etc. may exist, no resumption of payments... and no explanation either.

A new analysis shows Medicaid cuts could force nearly 600 nursing homes — many serving low-income, high-need residents — to close.

Karens were born for such a time as this.

Wait, "at least" 70 citizens have been forcibly deported "so far" without proper recourse to due process?! In any other era this would be the biggest scandal, a political deadweight dragging down a president & party, resulting in strong public + electoral backlash. Don't you think?🗃️

The final Pacers sacrifice is in… and it was one of their own

Even with everything else going on, I am still fixated on this obscenely terrible and dangerous headline from the Washington Post. Do they really believe that Democrats are looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed and arrested or are they sucking up to their billionaire owner?

I can’t fucking believe we’re doing this.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."
