I keep thinking about how if they had flock cameras in Nazi Germany no one would ever have escaped. Anyone offering subversive and radical kindness would have been caught.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

BREAKING: Cornyn and Tillis have confirmed they'll vote for Blanche after his order rescinding the "anti-weaponization fund." Any concern they claimed to have had for survivors was performative and has now been abandoned. Ultimately, they chose to bend the knee to the Trump administration.

Gale Renee Walden reposted

Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.

I legit thought this was an ad for DSA. Incredible how much DSA has completely shifted the political debate. Republicans are no longer setting the terms.

The longer we allow grandpa to rage post to distract from the EPSTEIN Files, the more danger he creates for the safety & security of the world. Any doubt he would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat if he thought it would benefit himself? I'm with Maj. Jason Watson: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE 🇺🇸

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

He is following the oath he swore to the Constitution, we need more brave and honorable men like this.

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

Not just dead last in Presidential rankings, but a truly loathsome "human" being in his own right & the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Someone should post this on "Truth" Social or Fox "News" so he would actually see it. #Embarrassment_In_Chief

Want to boycott CBS over Pelley? Cancel Paramount+ and Showtime. Skip Pluto TV and BET+. Avoid Paramount Pictures in theaters. Drop the bundle carrying MTV, Nickelodeon, BET, Comedy Central, CBS Sports. Tell advertisers why. The same owner is buying Warner next, so now is when it counts.

So maybe this is a good thing to ask for compensation for from the slush fund--all the people who have contracted for a life-time pass are having the services and parks diminished and taken away from them.

Trump is stealing your entry fees to national parks.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

DEVELOPING: Democratic Senator Chris Murphy just called for exploring Trump's removal from office under the Constitution. Not impeachment. Removal. The 25th Amendment. After the "crazy bastards" and "Praise be to Allah" post. A sitting senator said it out loud.

Gale Renee Walden reposted

It’s worth saying, in the wake of Trump’s bizarre and vicious Easter morning tweet, that the Republican Party could have him out of office by the end of the day. This is on his cabinet and every Republican member of Congress.

NEW: Letters in support of library funding in the House are now CLOSED. It's time to make some noise in the Senate! Tell your Senators to sign on to #FundLibraries in next year's federal budget. Your voice can make a difference: We need every advocate to speak out! Take action: ala.org/showup

Pick an independent outlet & support them. Sharing the work is also helpful for any independent outlet. @democracydocket.com @liberalcurrents.com @mississippifreepress.org @404media.co - there are so many amazing outlets - a list too long (we'd love your support too) www.damemagazine.com/membership/

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social

People are asking what else they can do. My advice is to drop your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers services and use that money to support as many independent media outlets as you can afford. Pick a couple and give them a try. It's critical we build a pro-democracy media ecosystem.

This essentially makes any appropriations package that Dems agree to vote for utterly worthless. How can any Dem vote for any appropriation as part of negotiations when JD Vance will just grab the money if it’s going to a blue state? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: Can you talk about the legal authority under which the federal govt pauses legally obligated funds, such as Medicaid? JD VANCE: Congress appropriates the money. We're the ones who actually make sure it actually goes to the people it ought to go to

It's really weird to clap for people who got murdered and this is just seeming so blood thirsty on his part. He is really talking about blood a lot. And he gets really mad at Dems who won't stand when they are expected to sentimentally do so. Poor Andrew being used as a prop.

Six years ago, Ahmaud Arbery was jogging. That was enough to be a death sentence. We remember his life, as a constant charge to continue the fight for justice, humanity, accountability, and an end to the poison of white supremacy.

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA: “Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH” Please share everywhere!

All across the country, Americans are organizing to defend our neighbors and demand ICE OUT! Remember, you have rights. We will MELT ICE, dismantle DHS, and protect our neighbors. We will not concede the power of the people!
