Powerful words from @aoc.bsky.social. America does not belong to any one race, religion, or creed. It is big enough for all of us who believe in democracy and in our Constitution and in leaving a future that is better for our kids.

NEW: Harmeet Dhillon swore in 100+ new Civil Rights Division lawyers as "civil rights warriors" for "ALL Americans" — then named exactly none of them. So we did. Court filings let us ID 11. At least 5 arrived with records of misconduct, controversy, or hiring irregularities. 1/

Whites with no college who are Trump's biggest supporting block which was plus 34 points is now -2 a whopping 36-point swing against Trump. These poles are unbelievable. I have never seen a massive political shift this big in my entire life.

the heroes they -aren't- going to tell you about are the cooks who keep cooking, the wait staff clearing the tables, the dishwashers polishing the silverware, and weird larry who vacuums overnight. fuck all these self aggrandizing assholes, the real champions have to keep working.

FRANKLIN, TN — Pastor Kevin Riggs: “I used to be in the inner circle of the evangelical church in Franklin… the only thing worse than authoritarianism/dictatorship is theocracy. We must push back against Christian Nationalism, rebuild and defend the wall separating church & state.”

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

bit.ly/4t7G2EU President Donald Trump promised to cut Americans’ electricity bills in half, but costs have increased. It’s becoming an aggravating issue for voters, even deep in Trump country where some fed-up West Virginians are paying more for power than mortgages.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

NEW: Per memo to U.S. House Democrats, Rep. Jamie Raskin and House Judiciary Committee Democrats will host a virtual briefing on Trump administration accountability and the 25th Amendment on FRIDAY afternoon

This is the way

“This is a trans-national effort, funded by Russian oil, to replace Western liberalism with a pro-Russian ideology... Orbán is not just the puppet that gives this packaged ideology a European face... he oversees the money laundering vehicles to fund the larger network” emptywheel.net/2026/04/07/p...

The Trump administration offered a Vatican envoy "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side" www.thefp.com/p/why-the-va...

Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.

The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news. These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.

A new CNN poll has Trump's approval rating dropping to 36%, nearing the record low of 34% recorded right after January 6. CNN finds approval to be 26% among independents, 25% among voters under 35, & 23% among respondents of color. www.cnn.com/2026/02/23/p...

“Permit to carry holders, they’re allowed to carry in public," said Rob Doar, president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center. "There’s nothing inherently criminal about that activity. You also don’t have to choose between exercising your First Amendment rights or your Second Amendment rights.”

Again, I know it’s persnickety, but I want to emphasize that Alex Pretti was not “showing up at a protest,” he was driving around the city as part of a community-led first responder network. He was likely carrying a gun the same reason anyone does: he felt like he might encounter an unsafe situation

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

Two DOGE members working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls" www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Just dropping this here.

Since Trump was re-elected, @forbes.com estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2.3 billion, to an $6.7 billion 💰Eric’s has increased tenfold, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s has increased sixfold, to $300 million 💰19-year-old Barron Trump is worth $150 million

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Not clear the US is actually "occupying" anything and I wouldn't be surprised if the children at the podium just blurted that out bc it sounded cool and are now trying to figure out what to do

Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You can’t credibly argue limited self defense, LE action, narrow authorization, or emergency necessity while simultaneously describing infrastructure takeover, profit generation, corporate involvement, and follow-on strikes.

President Trump said the ouster of Maduro has implications for the Cuban regime. “I think Cuba is going to be something we’ll end up talking about,” he said. “It’s very similar in the sense that we want to help the people of Cuba.”

I don’t know who needs to hear this but this is all batshit crazy. We now “own” Venezuela, US troops will take over, & as I said months ago Trump will steal all the oil. And this insane regime didn’t even bother fabricating evidence to justify this. Meanwhile, Republicans have surrendered Congress

Fox News is VERY upset with politicians who make unrealistic promises

Imagine how fried-by-white-supremacist-over-online-bullshit your brain needs to be to think that Britain or France's immigration policy is a greater threat than the nuclear arsenals of actual geopolitical rivals like China, North Korea or Russia.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

The most corrupt presidency in American history.

Just so much BS that this planet has to put up with. Tech is out of control.

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough. This is deeply sick conduct. newrepublic.com/article/2043...

I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with @hcrichardson.bsky.social, and I walked away feeling much more hopeful than I had before we began. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

When we note that having idiots run the government is a threat to national security this is the sort of thing we’re talking about

Snapshot of recent polls show Rs struggling to defend seats they hold: - VA Spanberger 51%-41% Earle-Sears - ME Mills 42%-37% Collins - NC Cooper 46%-42% Whatley - OH Brown 49%-48% Husted - TX Cornyn 48%-46% Allred, 48%-45% Talarico More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/we-have-15...

Elon Musk now owns two thirds of satellites as 10,000th Starlink launches

MAYBE THE NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD BE STOPPING TRUMP FROM LITERALLY TEARING DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE?!?

I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

He sang Rod Stewart, danced — and then ICE grabbed him. @timmiller.bsky.social talks with @roadsteamer.bsky.social about his detention in Portland
