Maryland state police should be ARRESTING ICE agents who do this. Impound the vehicles. Force the Trump admin to litigate. @raskin.house.gov lives here and should stand up and say this now. Along with @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov.
See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters. #ICYMI, we've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...
Wow.
This would work, you know.
Agree. This is a cocktail party joke not news or analysis. Sheesh.
Unconstitutional. Not that our Supreme Court gives a damn.
Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
I’m so sorry.
👍
I hope to see public trials of all these traitors
I’m speechless. I know that’s not helpful but my god.
Very
👏👏👏👏👏
It’s unbearable
💔💜💔💜💔
Thank you 🩷
You mean the people they could care less about? (Sigh).
Love your account. So peaceful 🍎
😆😆😆
Thanks. I clearly don’t live in a flood or tornado zone. (From one BonBon to another).
😂😂😂
I’m not really a sports fan but there’s something about tennis. (Hmm maybe the champagne and strawberries?)
Imagine being a worse justice than those who enshrined racism and the theft of native lands.
Sirens??????
Also insane
Great idea. I 🩷scientists.
Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”. This is fascism.
Horrific. And yes I know that’s not a sufficient comment.
Thanks for the correction.
Trump’s pardons have cost crime victims $1.5 billion in restitution that they now will never see, mostly victims of fraud committed by his cronies. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...
They. Cannot. Be. Shamed. That requires empathy. You’re never going to guilt them into doing the right thing.
This is so excellent
Something that shouldn’t be hard
They want their secret police. How else to stay in power? This is insanity.
This is what failed “norms” look like
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
The Oscar-winning documentary THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK (1984) is on Criterion Channel and HBO Max if you'd like to remember a man some people would like you to forget. #Pride #HarveyMilk #Streaming

Sickening.
❤️💔❤️💔
Sick
Is this shit real?
I have this cookbook too! From my mom. 🥰
Is it super weird that I had a bad crush on him when I was 12 or so then grew up to be a lesbian? Or does that all make some kind of sense? Just asking.
This isn’t rocket science.
Good god
60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"
Almost makes you want to resubscribe to the Post 🙄
Best Mother’s Day wish I’ve seen all day
It’s insane. The smoke hadn’t even cleared.
🚨 Donald Trump’s second term is a crypto cash grab. $2B foreign-backed deals, memecoins for White House access, and gutting oversight. Corruption at digital scale. Congress must act. Read our bombshell statement 👇 accountable.us/pay-to-play-...
Disgusting
Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again. Bravo
That’s really sweet
Yep
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?
People will die.

The White House telling SCOTUS to fuck off means there are no guardrails and none of us are safe, no matter who you voted for. Some of you need to read the “First They Came” poem again.
Grotesque but likely true
Courage is contagious in the best possible way. 👏 Harvard 👏 Cornell 👏 MIT Keep going! Solidarity!
And they are absolutely correct to give this advice.
New pod: @swin24.bsky.social is great in explaining that the authoritarian takeover is upon us. Trump's meeting with Bukele is a coming-out party, an open declaration of US alignment with global autocrats and dictators. "It has happened here," he says. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/1939...
Quel surprise…
So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?
OMG
Do it AOC
How disgusting
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
This is what judges should be doing right now. If the Trump administration is going to insist that it can’t bring back anyone once they’re removed, then federal judges should put the brakes on any and all removals until the *full* legal process—to ensure the removals are valid—has run its course.
Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.
Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.
Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.
The closure of the CDC's entire FOIA office violates FOIA and the Administrative Procedures Act. Americans deserve to have transparency into the CDC’s operations. That's why we sued.
If you are a government that mistakenly arrests an innocent man and transports him to a foreign country, locks him up in a terrorist jail, and then refuses to return them when you find out you made a mistake, you are a corrupt government. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...
Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.
@profmattbell.bsky.social !!
Yep. I can’t really imagine an American philosopher being invited to speak at a French university. (I’m sure it’s happened; would have liked to be that fly on the wall).
This is exactly how he ran his business though. He'd sign a contract for granite counter-tops, chandeliers, etc., take delivery of the merchandise, and then refuse to pay. His strategy for getting rich is just not paying for things. Anyone who does is a sucker and a loser
What could go wrong?
Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly
Jesus I missed this one. The assaults are endless.
Here here
Oof
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
Well this is cool…
Exactly
Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.
Wow!
I noted the plaintiff in the case against the military transgender ban that just resulted in a nationwide injunction against it, out of WA state, is Commander Emily Shilling, a Navy fighter and test pilot who transitioned while in the service. glaad.org/transgender-...
ICE has arrested Iranian national Alireza Doroudi, a doctoral candidate studying mechanical engineering at the University of Alabama. He was arrested at home at 5 a.m. Tuesday. As with some of the others who've been disappeared, unclear why he was detained. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Not to mention, oh, LIVES. Cancer research saved my life.
Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.
