If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

Defenses that didn't work:
1) I was just following orders;
2) I thought they deserved it;
3) I thought society was better off without them;
4) God told me to do it;
5) They didn't listen;
6) Other people/countries do it too;
7) We had to stop a third party;
8) It was profitable;
9) I was scared
This has the same energy as that deranged message from the president today
This won’t happen, of course, but it should.
Anyone in Congress who is not actively stopping Trump from committing war crimes right now, is complicit and should be tried along with Trump.
He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter.
You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids.
THIS is your president, America. Wake up.
The 25th amendment exists for a reason. This madman is the reason. This post is the reason.
@SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune, call Congress back into session today. Do your fucking jobs and defend America from this demented and deranged lunatic.

I’m starting a new day on April 2nd called April Smarts where we all tell each other cool facts and instead of tricking each other we all hold hands 😎
It's April Fools!
Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all.
This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.
USA TODAY STORY: Kat Abughazaleh is speaking to Gen Z. Democrats should listen. | Opinion What I hope Democrats glean from Kat Abughazaleh's campaign, regardless of whether she wins, is that Gen Z is not content being fed the same talking points Democrats have been making since 2016. By Sara Pequeño USA TODAY Updated March 16, 2026, 11:29 a.m. ET Photo of Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh addresses supporters in Chicago after pleading not guilty Nov. 12, 2025, to charges filed in connection with a protest against the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign.

During a February debate hosted by Fox 32 Chicago, Kat Abughazaleh said everything I've seen my friends say on Instagram in the past two years. And there was no skirting around sensitive subjects during her answers. The candidate running for Illinois' gth Congressional District in the U.S. House called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Abughazaleh called the actions of Israel a "genocide" and labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal." She brought up concerns about artificial intelligence and plugged her campaign office, which doubles as a mutual aid hub to help constituents in need. The former journalist and content creator had several moments where she looked directly into the camera and talked to viewers directly - at one point even pulling a brief "Office"-style glance at the camera while her opponents, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss and state Sen. Laura Fine, bickered over the involvement of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in the Democratic race. Yet throughout everything, Abughazaleh's values shine through. Her campaign office's mutual aid hub has served thousands in the community and is proving to Democrats that there are things they could be doing now to help their communities. She has been admonished by Democratic politicos who feel her campaign is radical, yet the same people want to see the party capture authenticity like hers. Photo of Kat, main headshot.
"So much of our campaign has been experimental and honestly laughed at by a lot of people who have been in politics for a long time," Abughazaleh said. "And then they see that it works, and then they get mad." They get more than mad - they get scared. They're scared of losing power, and they're scared that someone with no political experience but the values they're scared to espouse is getting so much attention for being what the Democratic Party has been scared to be. "It's been almost a year now, and this campaign has been run by the hard work and faith of so many incredible people from our staff to our volunteers, and the entire time we have been told that we have no chance, that we have no shot, that this could never work," Abughazaleh said. "And now organizations like AIPAC are panicking because they realize that we're going to win. And we knew the entire time." What I hope Democratic leaders glean from Abughazaleh's campaign for U.S. Congress, regardless of whether she wins, is that Gen Z is not content being fed the same talking points Democrats have been making since 2016. We want to see the party take charge and do everything in its power to help people. And if we don't get it from those now in office, we will happily run to replace them.
If we want to motivate voters of all ages, we have to try something different.
I propose kindness, authenticity, and unapologetic progressivism. People power over entrenched power. That’s the future.
Release the ICE hostages.
Impeach the regime.
Prosecute them fully.
Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
How dare her!! 🧐🤨

Some shots of me telling fortunes with playing cards ( #cartomancy ) at the Vday Bash/Art show. I enjoy doing this and welcome opportunities for it, so if there’s an event you think could use a fortune teller coming up, let me know! #divination #witchsky
Okay.
Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

As AI, deepfakes etc. become ubiquitous, people who may have stopped reading newspapers are going to get tired of trying to figure out what's real and go back to reliable sources of information that they don't have to second-guess. Outlets that don't paywall will be first in line for those eyes.
Hello! Would very much like to be added to this, please and thank you!
