Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Macron shook one hand.

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.

I just turned on the lights to go downstairs and found this…

Cooper: Wow, his image is being shown on a monitor.. that's why you hear people actually applauding. They're applauding President Zelenskyy when he appeared on some of the Jumbotrons

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

He sees that. He is the patsy.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

Let’s start with the basics.

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

No song for this shit show.

One guy shows up in a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral. You will never guess who.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

This is Sweeper. His human couldn't be with him on his 10th adoptaversary. They planned ahead and got their friends to take him out to lunch, who were more than happy to make sure Sweeper still felt celebrated. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

Im with Judge Hannah Dugan

What a wise King! 👑💕

A president who doesn't care about the Constitution. An attorney general with no regard for the Law, An FBI unconcerned with civil rights... What could go wrong?

My painting PACIFIC COAST

Pam Bondi says ICE agents can enter ANYBODY’S home without a warrant to find “illegals.” Baby girl fuck you. Grown men are NOT coming into my house looking for a goddamn thing. I’ll sue you bitches to the STRATOSPHERE Signed, Someone who already sued the Dept. of Corrections and won.

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation." Are we great again yet?

Remember to look up

A hallmark of fascism is to attack the judiciary.

Remember these words… “I will vote for you if you are brave…”

Spontaneous applause for Ukrainian President Zelenskyi at the funeral of Pope today in Rome. russia wants to convince us that we're all alone in this fight. We are not. Video: Acyn Twitter.

The pro life party is summarily sentencing toddlers to exile

The orange felon claims he’s made 200 trade deals so far. Which really means he hasn’t made one single deal because there hasn’t been one single trade agreement announced. He’s a pathological liar and a fraud.

The American tourism industry is sooooooo screwed.

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.” “Why?” asked Frog. “I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.

Sadly, this is very true…👇 America’s. Cult. At. Its. Worst. ✨

Happy Saturday!

When fascism hits unsend but the internet is forever.

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.

A reminder that Virginia Giuffre was recruited from Mar-a-Lago.

Good morning to all but the Trump crime family and Tom Holman

#caturday

My 2-year-old was in an ICE detention facility when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why am I being deported to Honduras?" And when I told her "Because due process is too woke," she started crying.

Can someone change the locks on the White House while he’s gone?

crazy that an incorrigible drunken dipshit who has failed at everything of consequence he has ever tried is also disastrously bad at leading the single largest bureaucracy in the world

"Do you even own a black suit?"

So grateful for the blessings and the opportunities ♥️

When historians reflect on this regime, cruelty will be the word most often used to define it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

BREAKING: @aclu.org says Trump deported a child (U.S. citizen) with metastatic cancer without medication or consultation with physicians. This is the second child with cancer he's deported. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... @rollingstone.com

A 2-year old US Citizen was deported Friday to Honduras. “The judge on Friday scheduled a hearing for May 16, which he said was ‘in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.’” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Trying to explain to liberals why dividing the working class into smaller and smaller groups is unhelpful

When I use Google now I just automatically scroll past the AI summaries like they’re banner ads

President Zelenskyy is having a meeting with President Macron right now.

Ah yes, the foreclosure gambit!

literally :3

It kills me when he lies like this, like he just smoked a joint and now it’s time to THINK

I just posted a new video breaking down the troubling arrest of a Milwaukee state court judge — why the case looks legally weak, and how it fits into a broader pattern of attacks on the judiciary. Stay engaged. #Judiciary #RuleOfLaw #Milwaukee #LegalAnalysis #Democracy

It was always a myth…

Tulip time. ‘Brown Sugar’ standing tall, scented, like a wallflower. ‘Prinses Irene’ is glowing orange. The apricot and magenta ‘Slawa’ and the ever reliable‘Queen of Night’ coming up behind.

This is why the student loan bubble is about to burst. I feel bad for this woman—but she freaking nails it. 🔥

Last night, a federal judge in El Paso became the first to review ICE’s claim that someone was an “alien enemy.” It went SO BAD for ICE that not only did the judge order release for the people suing, without prompting he restricted the use of the Alien Enemies Act in west Texas.

some dumb motherfuckers , even libs , act like the relative lack of conservative professors is a problem . but american conservatism is an anti intellectual movement! might as well ask why there’s a lack of vegan chefs in brazilian steakhouses

No one is above the law. But I am above the Constitution. by Pam Bondi

Raise your hand if you agree Trump deserves to be IMPEACHED again! ✋ #ImpeachTrump

Purple Reigns. The tulip color is dominate on the Mag Mile this year. Today in Chicago.

Damn

Truly apropos of nothing, one of the most inexplicable parts of Trump Era media coverage has been the total lack of interest in his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. They were very close friends! Ghislane recruited girls AT MAR-A-LAGO. There's video of them giggling as they watch young girls dance!

Little Light feeling playful again~

honestly, trump putting hegseth in defense is grounds alone for impeachment and removal

I think we should raise the salience of this.

Because the framers of the Constitution referred explicitly only to men, no authority can lawfully restrain Pam Bondi from organizing a terrorist police state. by Jonathan Turley

The fact of the matter is that the American conservative movement has backed a president now harassing students and destroying academic work on ideological grounds. This entire debate should be suspended until the conservative movement repudiates him. There is nothing to discuss until then.

The nominee for U.S. Attorney in D.C. is a Jan. 6 conspiracy theorist and celebrant who praised a white supremacist Hitler-lover as an “extraordinary man, and extraordinary leader.” Are there no Republicans who will oppose this disgraceful nomination? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

To be sure, if Kamala Harris were president she would face down Putin with sound policy rather than behaving like an incompetent weakling. But remember: she would be doing so as a Black Woman. by Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and Chris Rufo

Trump goes full ActBlue at the Pope’s funeral

OTD in 1986 absolutely nothing happened in Chernobyl apart from a rapid, unplanned disassembly which resulted in the plant achieving its 10 year energy target in 2 nanoseconds that was according to the plan.

In 2004 I would be appointed (once again) by President Bush to serve on a Commission to advise the Congress & White House on the future of NASA, which led to this report: neildegrassetyson.com/media/pdf/MoonToMarsFinalReport.pdf At no time was basic science seen as a luxury in need of a chainsaw.

The strict dress code for the Pope’s funeral required men to wear dark suits and long black ties. Naturally, Trump was the only one who showed up in a blue suit and tie.

“All of the people in the Trump administration who participated in defying that order by Judge Boasberg themselves could be arrested for interfering with a legal proceeding, and perhaps other criminal charges, like kidnapping.” Rep. Jamie Raskin More here:

People are mad at Trump for gutting childhood cancer research, but it seems he has a different plan to end child cancer in the US. Deportation.
