Outrageous.

"Four Catholic faith leaders washed feet and offered Communion to 14 DHS detainees at the ICE facility in Broadview IL on Holy Thursday..." "Outside in rain and heavy winds, 50 Catholic faithful held a Holy Thursday liturgy, blessed the delegation and held their own Washing of the Feet ritual..."

I mean, you don't really need a translator

THIS.

John Roberts immediately looks down and to his right while closing his eyes after shaking Trump's hand (shame, sadness, deception). #BodyLanguageAnalysis #SOTU

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Close ICE, not the Kennedy Center.

Woah! Jack Smith just said that Trump intimidated witnesses via death threats!

Kristi Noem posted photo of church protest organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong being arrested. White House then posted doctored version of photo as if Armstrong was crying. What?! (Also, Armstrong was clear at protest she was there as a Christian: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/protesters...)

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

Trump to U.S. troops: “I’d love to have your job.” (He faked a bone spur to dodge the draft.)

So Congress doesn't get a say in pardons but also "pardons can be found to be void over minor procedural irregularities" is an insane position for the Trump administration to take, given how much they'll rely on procedurally irregular pardons to avoid going to prison over all of the lawbreaking.

“the Post’s opinion section, which owners traditionally consider their very own plaything, is a lost cause, at least for now. No further evidence is needed.” Sad but true, @sulliview.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

The act of destruction is precisely the point: a kind of performance piece meant to display Trump’s arbitrary power over the Presidency, including its physical seat. He asks permission of no one, destroys what he wants, when he wants. RIP EAST WING

Pete Hegseth is a manly man – and if you don't believe him, he'll send the marines after you.

Show the American public that Trump is lying. Please fight back: @tinakotek.bsky.social, @mayorkwilson.bsky.social, @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

Many American Jews sharply disapprove of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, with 61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 4 in 10 saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians, according to a Washington Post poll.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Trump continues to promote Putin’s election reform idea of eliminating mail in ballots (no votes by active duty military anymore). Imagine taking advice on democratic elections from Putin—a dictator who has been rigging his own elections for decades.

🚨NEW OVERNIGHT: Big win for L.A. — a federal court just blocked Trump’s immigration raids across So. California. The Ninth Circuit denied Trump’s attempt to restart warrantless sweeps that targeted people for speaking Spanish, having an accent, or just standing at a bus stop in Latino communities.

“This is the worst economic jobs report since the end of the pandemic.” - CNN

“Both of them.”

Donald Trump employed Virginia Giuffre, as a minor, in his "spa" at Mar-a-Lago. Today Trump expressed his anger at Jeffrey Epstein – not for Epstein trafficking Giuffre and raping her, but because Epstein "stole" her from Trump. Dwell on these things.

They are creating contempt for law enforcement by their actions, their cruelty, and their manifest racism.

Tariffs are a systematic attack on American prosperity. The arguments presented for tariffs are a sustained insult to American intelligence.

When Republican voters learn that the "Big Beautiful Bill" takes from the poor to give to the rich, they oppose it.

USSR never attacked anyone as part of a secret agreement with Nazis, except Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Finland & Moldova

And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

Nothing could be more perilous to American democracy than going to war under Donald Trump, Robert Kagan writes. theatln.tc/C1DHGxtL

Five things to remember about war:

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

In defiance of Trump’s announcement last Friday that he was firing her, Kim Sajet — the director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery — has continued to report for work, conducting meetings and handling other museum business as she did before

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Wrecking the public health infrastructure puts us all at risk.

Here is the latest way the Trump administration is attacking colleges https://www.dailykos.com/story/2025/5/21/2323419/-Here-is-the-latest-way-the-Trump-administration-is-attacking-colleges?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=

When Americans who have money, are surprised to see society get it, instead of rich people.

Justice Souter taught his law clerks and all whom he encountered “the most important lesson a young lawyer can be taught: the value of caring for others, the wisdom in slowing down to get the law right, and the incredible power when those two forces are combined.” www.scotusblog.com/2025/05/the-...

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

Russia loves to celebrate 1945. Just don’t ask who helped Hitler start the war in 1939.
