What is May Day Strong, the ‘no work, no school, no shopping’ protests against Trump? Day of action to support workers set for 1 May – who is organizing May Day Strong, and how can people join?

A single-day protest on May 1 is taking its cue from the massive day of action that shut down Minneapolis in January by asking Americans not to shop, work or go to school

MILITARY PURGE: Navy Secretary John Phelan has been FIRED, effective immediately.

Hung Cao will take over as Acting Secretary. Prior reports raised questions about his claims of being “blown up” in combat, with his Navy record lacking a Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."

This is a good column from @mcastimovies.bsky.social

But wanna add that it’s a bad state of affairs when one of the few non-Penske outlets doing serious reporting on Hollywood a) relies on the entities it covers for advertising revenue & b) would need to speak to talent (cough, access journalism)

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Today I had my permanent crown put in. The one I needed after my root canal. The crown was $1600 CAD. The Canadian Dental Plan(a new program) paid $1375. Which is so nice. 2 years ago we did not have any federal dental care plan. This is due to Jagmeet Singh pushing for it a few years back.

James Comer is under fire after a memo revealed Republicans are shifting away from traditional hearings on the Epstein Files.

Instead of formal proceedings, the committee is moving to “roundtables”—informal sessions with no authority.

Witnesses are not even required to be under oath.

Thanks I picked up on that. 😊

Pingree, Massie Team Up to Strip Big Chemical Immunity from Farm Bill

🚨NEWS🚨

Rep. Massie and I just introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill.

If a company’s product makes people sick, it should be held accountable. If states and communities want to create stronger protections, they should have every right to do so.

Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon.

They've released smog into the air in Memphis.

And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks.

Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?

Any mainstream media coverage of this? The depth of corruption is staggering.

ESPN's Michael Wilbon tees off on NFL With the NFL now owning 10 percent of ESPN, it's fair (and necessary) to keep an eye out for any indications that ESPN is going easy on the shield.

If the NFL's recent acquisition of 10 percent of ESPN means ESPN will go easy on the NFL, Michael Wilbon did not get the memo.

SANTA MONICA area people,
Get your TRUMP MUST GO! signs ready! We're having a TRUMP MUST GO! overpass protest on the Cloverfield overpass over the 10 freeway in Santa Monica, THIS Sunday, April 26, at 4:00 P.M..

PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?

Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.

My nephew and GF got a dog for their new place. Went back the next day and also adopted his brother. ☮️❤️

Is this real?

Looking forward to stopping by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social one last time. Tune in tonight!

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.

The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.

No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

Anouska de Georgiou is an Epstein survivor. Listen as she talks about how damaging the patriarchy is.

You have a right to set boundaries. Even if you’re afraid.

Don’t stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles.

Really not the worst. I think you have it backwards

Law requiring ICE agents to show identification struck down by 9th Circuit. - Los Angeles Times 2.

This is another abomination; 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are in #45’s pocket! We The People need to do something; this is unacceptable! Renee Good & Pretti’s lives matter, let our voices be heard!

They're not even trying to hide it anymore...

We need term limits not just for the Supreme Court, but for Congress. No one should serve for a lifetime or even decades. If we actually want a government that represents the will of the people and responds to today’s challenges, we need new leadership, and that means term limits.

Exactly.

We Just Flipped One. Can We Do It Again? Early voting is already underway in SD04. The window is small.

Every seat we flip makes it that much harder for Republicans in the TX legislature to keep hiding behind a culture war smokescreen while they rob working Texans to serve corporate interests.

Texans in SD 04 can’t afford to sit this one out! Vote Ron Angeletti now!
