Exactly the sort of tyrannical behavior that the Constitution was written to prevent. See the Fourth Amendment in particular.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Imagine being a billionaire, in charge of one the most powerful, influential companies in the history of world, and prostrating yourself to Trump in this very public and embarrassing way. Sheesh.

Its official- “wide-ranging tariffs went into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday, just as economic fallout from months of threatening them is surfacing in visible damage to the economy” More than 60 countries & the EU 15% & up Canada at 35% Brazil 50% Taiwan, Vietnam and Bangladesh 20%

A senator saw racism, threats to democracy were tearing America apart, so he spoke out, even after colleagues warned he'd be attacked. Charles Sumner was nearly caned to death in 1856, but he lives on as a hero. Today, fear is winning in Congress. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/lisa...

Totally unhinged

Thank you, Glenn. We are all well aware. 🤣😂

So, a Fox personality calls for ICE to go to Dodger Stadium and then it happens a couple of days later. Our leaders now just getting their marching orders from right wing media.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

BREAKING: Donald Trump tells NBC News that Elon Musk will face “very serious consequences” if he funds Democratic candidates. Like Musk or not, a president threatening private citizens over political donations isn’t just wrong, it’s authoritarianism.

1/2 Today in Minneapolis, ICE/FBI raided a taco restaurant, yes, you read that correctly, a taco restaurant, dressed in full battle gear—long guns, body armor, the whole damn militarized show. Do they think they’re in a war zone? This is about instilling terror, rooted in racism. It won’t work.

The entire Federal Reserve Board should be embarrassed by this outrageous giveaway to one of Wall Street’s most derelict banks.   The Fed must release Wells Fargo’s exam reports for the last five years to the Senate Banking Committee so that Congress can review them.

Who are these people? Pardoned Jan 6 insurrectionists ? We have a right to know . Call your representatives and senators to ask 202-224-3121

Bravo, to Stanford faculty, led by physics, to ask their administrators to stand up and fight Trump. stanforddaily.com/2025/05/22/f...

If it was a “personal” and not a “presidential” meeting, why the presidential seal?

Truly stunning- usually the government *wins*!

You don’t use Medicaid? Don’t care if low income folks become homeless? Don’t care if people lose their lives because it doesn’t affect you? WAKE THE FUCK UP! They’re STEALING your Medicare too! You know-that program that you paid for your entire life?! #OneV1 www.medicarerights.org/medicare-wat...

What happens if habeas corpus is suspended and all Americans are in danger of arbitrary punishment? A growing number of judges say Trump's ongoing legal fights are existential for all Americans’ fundamental rights, not just those of immigrants. Clearly, they’re right.

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding. That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

Hey journalists! Here are two of your colleagues who stood up to fascism, and now have Nobel Prizes for doing so. Now it’s your time to decide… Stand up to fascism, become famous, and maybe win a Nobel Prize or a Pulitzer… Or obey and become a footnote in history. www.bbc.com/news/world-5...

I don’t want to hear a single word from Trump about Biden unless he includes an apology for every single lie he has said about him.

This is the most important story of the day. A Tulsi aide ordered a senior analyst to redo an assessment of the relationship between Venezuela’s government and a gang after intelligence findings undercut the WH justification for deporting migrants. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

Bad day for Trump. The House didn’t pass the bill he was pushing for. The Supreme Court blocked him from reinstating the Alien Enemies Deportations. And he’s flipping out about Springsteen. Finally a good day for those of us who celebrate his failures.

UPDATE: “7-2 the Supreme Court continued to block the Trump administration from using a 1798 wartime law to deport a group of Venezuelan migrants who said they had not been given enough of a chance to contest their removal…” www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

We didn’t forget about journalist Jamal Khashoggi, did we? Murdered inside a Saudi consulate. Dismembered. Then a full-on coverup, sanctioned at the highest levels.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.

BREAKING: Immigrant children are being detained in U.S. custody for months—even when their families are ready to bring them home. NCYL and @democracyforward.org just filed a class action lawsuit against HHS to stop it. Read more here: youthlaw.org/news/new-law...

55 years ago today, four Kent State students were killed on campus by Ohio National Guardsmen for protesting the Vietnam War Why does it feel like this is what Trump means by Make America Great Again?

Mike Waltz has left the chat.

Are we still pretending this is about free speech?

once again, i just do not understand how this sad, decrepit weirdo who can’t stay awake any time he sits for more than 20 minutes is the chosen strong man of the alpha male fascist set

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

This is insane. Completely corrupt. These idiots have lost their damn minds.

Can someone just shut him up? This is so embarrassing.

If you don’t think this administration is so incompetent or callous as not to do this, you haven’t been paying attention.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

Imagine opposing diversity. If you can’t, you have perspective and empathy. Your mindset doesn’t match the opposition, which is rooted in narcissism and a lack of true understanding. Rationalizing with that is futile. Our best hope is becoming activated and outspoken and forming alliances.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
