We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Serious question. I am a lawyer and I don’t know why ICE agents are not being personally sued and bankrupted for their behavior. They do not have immunity for unconstitutional or illegal actions. Maybe losing their house will make them behave.

Oops. “US citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately… “There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as colectivos, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of US citizenship or support for the United States.”

Corruption and greed breed crushing despair, pushing brave citizens with nothing left to lose into unbreakable solidarity. This resilience topples mighty regimes, fueled by the dream of true justice. #Solidarity #IranRevolution

There is a strong possibility that the United States may not be the world's dominant economic power for much longer. What could happen next? Nobel Prize-winning economist @pkrugman.bsky.social gives his take on this and other concerns in an interview with the Bulletin's Dan Drollette Jr.

thebulletin.org“Expertise is not only not valued by this administration, it’s inherently suspicious to them"—Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul KrugmanNobel Prize-winning economist and former New York Times columnist Paul Krugman gives his take on tariffs, Trump, trade, technology—and democracy.

I have been a lawyer since 1989. I don’t understand how the “best and brightest” lawyers did not see this coming. Who would hire a law firm that was so ignorant of the law that they refused to fight to protect the themselves, when it was clear they would win. They look like weak losers.

The single biggest factor influencing academic success of children is if their parents read to them. I cannot even comprehend the ignorance of feeling that reading to your young children is boring. It doesn’t even require effort it was the high point of my day as a young dad.

👀 "When faced with 46% tariffs from Trump, Vietnam fast-tracked a $1.5 billion Trump golf resort. Ignoring its own laws, Vietnam rubber stamped the project. Just 3 mths after paperwork was filed — and a few days after Trump’s trade negotiator met w/ Vietnam’s trade minister — groundbreaking began."

Washington has a major corruption problem. From accepting jets from Qatar to selling pardons, the corruption hurts all of us. If you know people who regret their vote or didn’t vote, try to gently educate them about the dangers of this administration. mindyschwartz.substack.com/p/do-republi...

Why aren’t these people suing the government for damages?

NEW: The Trump administration has conceded that it improperly deported another Salvadoran man in violation of a court order — blaming a "confluence of administrative errors." The man's lawyer plans to demand his return. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Trump says 'nothing' will happen during Ukraine peace talks as Putin skips out - NBC News. I thought this war would be over on day one. I also thought China would pay the tariffs and Mexico would pay for the wall and inflation would drop…and… So many lies and so many gullible idiots.

So I am a recovering Catholic and not a Bible thumper, but, “whatsoever you have done to the least of my brothers, that you’ve done unto me”, shows the deep level of hypocrisy of the “Christian” right.

Good job, buddy! You finally caught up to the rest us from 3yrs ago. Putin doesn’t want peace. You’re his puppet, not friend, & you’re not smart enough (or at all) to think you can “deal” with him even if you’re both despicable criminals. #SlavaUkraini #MomSky apnews.com/article/russ...
