We’re getting ready for a massive day of economic disruption on May Day. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

Jon Ossoff didn't sugarcoat it. "While you pay more for everything, the first family's wealth is growing by billions. Because they're crooks. And everybody knows it." 💯 #SheShed

It appears that Pistol Pete Kegsbreath is still drinking #USDemocracy

The US is coming for Iran’s ships. Literally. Navy boarding & seizing Iran-linked tankers in international waters days away. Iran’s response? Attack commercial vessels & lock down the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has made a mess of everything for what? #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AcbUQnCEiQAW...

They’re all going to sound just like this next year, even Newsom after opposing the billionaire tax.

The midterms are months away and the pro-democracy movement has work to do to engage young Americans. Of those we surveyed, only 40% say they'll definitely vote. Dig into the data from our poll w/ @votersoftomorrow.org 🔗 https://protdem.org/genzpoll2026

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Kevin Warsh wants to lead America’s central bank. Why does he have more than $100 million in undisclosed assets?

Remember infrastructure week? This week was BLASPHEMY week

in the 1970s Hillary Clinton made a hundred grand trading cattle futures and 15 years later the news media made a decade-long scandal out of it

Trump lies for the Friday markets... again... #USDemocracy

What a weird timeline. I still think the weasel that got into the large hadron collider in 2016 thrust us into an alternate universe.

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

JB Pritzker hasn’t forgotten about the tariff refunds.

In regards to Iran, the orange felon unfroze/paid $20B for something that President Obama paid almost $2B for. The art of the fraud.

Here are the 7 senate democrats who voted to continue sending bombs to Netanyahu. Richard Blumenthal (CT) Chris Coons (DE) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) John Fetterman (PA) Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) Jackie Rosen (NV) Chuck Schumer (NY)

The Strait of Hormuz, which was open before Trump began bombing Iran... is now open again, and it only cost American taxpayers $51 BILLION... so far. Oh, and word is we may be giving Iran access to $20 billion in the process. Art of the Deal.

MAGA lunatic Caitlyn Jenner says she can’t travel internationally anymore after her renewed passport was returned with a male gender marker thanks to the orange felon’s bigoted passport policy. She asked him for help and he ignored her letter. Hate is what she voted for.

‘Chief Justice John Roberts has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side. At a critical moment for the country and court, the papers show he acted as bulldozer in pushing to stop Obama’s plan to address the climate crisis.’ www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

What a concept

KELLANI IS MISSING IN BROOKLYN: Last seen ar E 102 St and Seaview Ave, she's 22 pounds and chipped: 4B12495F6C. If you've seen or found her please call 888-466-3242 and PLEASE RT KELLANI!

You do realize The Strait of Hormuz is not going to remain open, right? That Trump just made up THAT part too? Speaker of the Iranian Parliament:

Trump is entirely full of shit. There is no deal with Iran. Its leaders insist the strait is closed and will remain so until Trump stops the blockade of Iranian ports The emperor not only has no clothes; he has no brain www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

So Iran bottom line: Trump just paid $20 Billion for something which Obama paid $2 Billion and Trump called him a traitor The Shart Of The Deal

Watch out for false reporting. Do your own due diligence… like Christopher did 👇

The housing crisis is echoing across the nation. Our BUILD plan is one of the most comprehensive to tackle it — making it easier, faster, and more effective to build homes here.

Trump/Russia rears its ugly head again.

An investigation has been opened by House Democrats into criminal slumlord Jared Kushner for falsely operating as a negotiator whilst corruptly securing billions of dollars in dark monry investments for himself. Good, finally.

MAGA lawyers are nearing a settlement with the IRS for the orange felon’s $10B corrupt lawsuit against them whilst the MAGA regime plans to send money to Jan 6 terrorists. Meaning criminals plan on stealing even more money from taxpayers right out in the open. Theft and fraud.

"abortion bans have influenced how doctors and hospitals respond to pregnancy complications. Facing risks of prison time and professional ruin, doctors have delayed key interventions until they can document that a fetus’ heart is no longer beating or that a case meets a narrow legal exception"

Here we go again

"It's definitely not open," @ksadjadpour.bsky.social says of the Strait of Hormuz. "I don't think any major shipping or oil company would tell you that we've gone back to status quo ante, and that process could take many, many months." via @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

Here’s an audio recording of the Indian oil tanker Sanmar Herald pleading with Iranian military forces to stop shooting at it in the Strait of Hormuz this morning.

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
