More of this, please.
I can’t read the article but I’d say we need something stronger than ‘rebukes’ at this point.
I was wondering that too.
It’s well past time for both parties.
How about getting your leaders to get behind Mamdani in his mayoral bid, for starters? Go all in, they can’t cater to everyone, that just weakens them, screw centrists, soon with the economic collapse that’s coming, everyone will see that we need those ‘far left’ progressive ideas implemented.
I thinks he’s expecting to slip in there before trumps term is over.
How do we resist in Chicago when he sends troops there? There needs to be some kind of a strategy. Any ideas?
Don’t let them take him.

Let me guess, it gives information they refuse to acknowledge.
LOL it must really get under his skin.
Sure, send them to Mar-a-Lago, probably plenty of room there.
@chsn-media.bsky.social PLEASE let your station be on a streaming service so more fans can watch. Many have abandoned cable & satellite.
That’s terrible. The fact that they had been developing that mRNA already was the only reason they were able to have a Covid vaccine so quickly. Lives are going to be lost because of this quack in charge now.
As I have said from the start of the Abrego Garcia case, Trump, Bondi and their cronies love to spew stuff on social media — but they need to put up or shut up in court. As you can see below, when they are under penalty of perjury, the courts find their claims “fanciful”⬇️
And many won’t protest these actions too loudly for fear of being called anti-Semitic.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." ❤️🔥
Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
Did they have any warning beforehand?
That is so sad, especially being so young.
Here's a friendly reminder. 📣🇺🇸
While everyone was focused on the tax bill, JD Vance just advanced his lawsuit aiming to expand the Citizens United decision before the 2026 election, so billionaires have an even easier time buying elections. The case was just accepted by the Supreme Court.
This is my biggest concern and worry right now. I’m just sick about all of this.
Trust me, it does terrify us all.
Good, now he can vote how he wants and Trump has no power over him anymore.
I loved this man, so sad. He was so smart. I learned so much from his show, it was so informative and always relevant.
He’s a disgrace and a joke along with the rest of this administration.
Senator, were you surprised by the results last night in New York?
Truth. Thank you, @adamzyglis.bsky.social
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
What was the point of this article?
Bravo this sign.

Wow. He gives a perfect précis of what when down when people were stuck at a traffic light. With ICE.
Police brutality and misuse of force continue to be a threat to public safety. That’s why I reintroduced a bold package of bills to hold officers accountable for misuse of force, protect protesters, and end the culture of impunity in policing. omar.house.gov/media/press-...
The Trump administration is quietly expanding its work with Palantir to consolidate data from across the government and create detailed files on everyone in the U.S. This is incredibly dangerous for all of us, but especially for vulnerable communities already in the government's crosshairs.

✈️👀 This may be something else but wondering if it is a deportation flight to China. OMNI plane n225AX operated the last China deportation on 7 Jan this exact route to Fuzhou China. It is far from sure but I hope some journalists can make some inquiries. It looked like Shanghai and then headed south.
The resistance won’t succeed until it stops being a performance and starts challenging the system that got us here. www.levernews.com/why-the-trum...
Just what I was thinking too.
This is a really good article. Everyone should read it.
I think a copy is needed in the White House.
The most worrisome part of the bill.
They should’ve held off releasing this book till end of the year, after his diagnosis. What’s the point right now to do it? Discuss it and learn from it later. Really Disappointed in @Jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social having this on now, there’s more urgent news to discuss.
In JD Vance's America, you pardon J6 rioters who beat cops with metal poles & spray them with chemicals — but prosecute a Congresswoman hindered from oversight by ICE’s escalation. That’s not justice. It’s intimidation.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget: -People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000 -People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700 -People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000 This is what class warfare looks like.
Such sad news 😢

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.
The top producer at CBS’ '60 Minutes' announces he would step down from the news magazine because he had lost his journalistic independence. “Over the past months, it has … become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it,” Bill Owens says in a memo to staffers.
Pope Francis moved last summer to make Vatican City the first nation to run entirely on solar energy. In his writing, he made it clear that the climate crisis was about power in all forms--and about human dignity. The world feels much poorer today billmckibben.substack.com/p/pope-franc...
In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc. Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need. We must make public colleges tuition free.
Next will be the layoffs…
Well, I’m against it because none of you are following the Constitution which makes all of you traitors to our country!
So if you’re growing up in a low income household you don’t deserve any treats like other children have. 😡

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.
I read today some Democrat representatives are planning to go to El Salvador to see what they can do. Is this true?
Thank you!!
And that is how they hope to silence us, with fear. #StandUp #Resist
This White House is a threat to our most basic rights. This is unacceptable. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife awaiting the birth of their son, not criminalized for free speech and threatened with deportation. Our destinies are tied. We need to raise our voices now.
Record wildfires Record heat Record melt Record floods Record droughts We can't solve this crisis if we keep expanding the problem. It's time to unplug fossil fuels and #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re
Will they appeal it?
How Trump plans to disappear people whose opinions or skin color he dislikes, by shipping them, without a trial, to foreign hellholes. Reminiscent of Hitler shipping people from Germany to Treblinka and Auschwitz in Poland. We Should All Be Very, Very Afraid www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Sign the petition to demand Mahmoud Khalil be immediately released and threats against his legal status be dropped! And call on members of Congress and university leaders to protect and defend the right for students to organize and protest. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fr...
The U.S. must follow due process. If this administration is going to deport people, make sure they're actually criminals. The stakes are too high to make mistakes. Abrego Garcia should be returned immediately.
Donald Trump and DOGE want to cut $2.6 billion in lifesaving medical research while Republicans in Congress shovel trillions in tax breaks to billionaires. The rich will get richer while the rest of America suffers.
I am so sorry for your loss.
“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”
People across the country and around the world turned out on Saturday for what organizers say has been the single biggest day of protests against President Trump and his second-term actions. In the U.S., more than a thousand rallies were planned in small towns and major cities from coast to coast.
I keep wondering that too. The Lithuanians kindly honored them and so little news coverage here in the U.S.
Chattanooga’s WTVC reporting on Trump choosing a LIV golf tournament over the ceremony for the 🇺🇸 soldiers killed in Lithuania…
Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position
The announcement comes after lawmakers voiced concern about whether top national security officials discussed classified information on Signal about a military strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
I want to get up there to see this.
There is a huge, ongoing disinformation campaign against Dems that continues to gain leverage. I was shocked speaking with a family member on what they thought I believed in because I’m a Democrat.
