You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

Threaten the constitutional rights of one person and you threaten the constitutional rights of everyone else. Do not allow that line to be crossed. No deportations without due process. No reign of terror pulling people off the streets. No shady sending people to black hole prisons.

As a nation, the US has to confront how so many people knew Trump is racist, sexist, mean spirited and dumb, and thought, Yes! He'd be a great leader- twice! Why do they like this guy, and how do we reconcile our national malaise? Who are we, and who do we want to be? What is our national character?

Donnie has cost American Taxpayers more than $200 MIL in golf trips since he started golfing on our dime in 2017 More than $50 MIL since the beginning of this year. Hmmm. TIME: 25% Golf, 25% Social Media, not much left for America. DOGE missed a cut. Check it out on didtrumpgolftoday.com #ONEV1

For the record, 6/13/25 Los Angeles was peaceful and people in Hollywood were out having fun, going to bars, out for dinner with friends and bopping to great music. The DTLA curfew did make traffic a breeze, though! Asking the military and police to protect civilians. Do not bow to a dictator.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Congress doesn’t need to take health care away from seniors to fix the national debt — let’s start by ending tax breaks for large, multinational corporations that ship jobs overseas. The House GOP’s reconciliation plan is full of the wrong priorities.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

nytimes.comHegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal ChatThe defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Raskin: "There's an absolute attack on the Constitution taking place by an administration which views the Constitution as just inconvenient furniture that's gotta be kicked out of the way."

@columbiauniversity.bsky.social has spineless “leadership”. I would never send my kid to be taught by Vichy level capitulators.

AAUP@aaup.org

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will. The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

What a disaster. If you’re voting in a special election, do NOT vote for the ruinous, traitorous GOP. Voting Blue may be boring, but voting Red is not the kind of “interesting” that is in your self interest.

HERO! @algreen.house.gov I’m so in love with you….. ok, so I’m quoting the other Al Green, but the sentiment is the same.

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social

Rep Al Green after being removed from Trump speech: "I'll accept the punishment. It's worth it to let people know that there's some of us who are going to stand up" against Trump and his anti-American agenda. And Green added Trump is convicted felon! This is what courage looks like!
