Good idea

Insane! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Trump's secret police moves to create an enemies list for the White House. The database would have all US voters, their party affiliations and their political preferences. Now for the question: what does any of this have to do with immigration enforcement? www.wired.com/story/ice-pl...

“Gee, a billion sure is a lot!” Now I need Scrooge McDuck to show me a trillion. youtu.be/8hrvgg3R_Xc?...

Rules are for the little people 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Growing up watching Scooby Doo, you’d know that the monster was always some real estate developer. I think we should have listened to lessons of the Scooby Gang more.

Everyone knows "1776" was *the* battle cry of the January 6 insurrectionists, right? I wrote a book on the armed rebellion Trump incited, and if you missed that his Terrorist Slush Fund is $1.776B *explicitly* to signal its aim of making MAGA terrorists rich, that's... a big miss.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw helped name two contested ideas in U.S. politics — intersectionality and critical race theory. Her memoir chronicles the personal and legal framework for her thinking. n.pr/4ncrJge

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Apparently you can sprain your tail from excessive tail wagging…this is what happens when your brothers come home from college for the weekend. A vet visit and good meds, she’s doing fine.

Congress, do your job.

“Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willnae be fooled again!” Seems appropriate for today. #Discworld #SirPterry #NacMacFeegle #NoKingsDay

Who knew what? When did they know it? How close were they to Trump's inner circle? And can anyone within or around the orbit of this regime be trusted to put the interests of the American public above their own pocketbook? It is maddening that we even need to ask these questions.

Well, well, well. Look who’s mail in voting. So, it’s good enough for you, but not millions of others? 🤔

Unlike information obtained from cellphone providers, this data can be accessed without a warrant — and used to track anyone.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

My current enemies are not in Iran, they’re in the Epstein Files.

Holy shit. He just made a joke about summarily murdering people in the Caribbean….

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Read it all please.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Well, I made the Melt Ice Hat. I still need to block it. There are definitely things I would do differently. Even though my gauge was right for the pattern and the needle was in line with the yarn, it feels tight. I will use a 5 next time. I would also do another inch on ribbing I think. #KnitSky

The President suing a federal agency. 😵‍💫 www.bbc.com/news/article...

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Seeking asylum is a lawful, legal process for being in the US until final disposition of your case.

ST. PAUL MAYOR: “We’ve received reports of ICE officers going door to door asking where the Asian people live… I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may target me based on what I look like.”

Sophie scarflet but with variegated wool. Stay toasty. #KnitSky

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Read the Constitution sometime.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

This is f*cked up! There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling. And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen. So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

Watch as ICE refuses to let a doctor render aid to Renee Nicole Good.
