She's lucky to be alive. I hope she's awarded a gazillion dollars.

Aliya Rahman was violently arrested by ICE in Minneapolis. She recently filed a federal tort claim against DHS, claiming the agency used excessive force and violated her rights.

WoW!!

More reasons I have not, do not, and will not use apple products...unless I'm baking a pie.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Thanks for including me in this great list @hopeful66.bsky.social following all!!⤵️⤵️💙

We have a duty as American people, to protect and defend our constitution.

It’s been challenging and the struggle to exist has been real. That phase is ending - we are entering a historic crisis we’ve never seen.

Take a moment, sit still and allow yourself to feel the weight of what comes next.

I just saw that Jack White of the White Stripes has given trump a new title: Worst American of All Time. Pretty accurate, but I think I'll add a big ol' "The" Worst American of All Time, and we can just call him TWAAT.

Asking them to defend their positions as SURVIVORS is like TELLING THEM THEY DESERVE TO BE MOLESTED AGAIN.

WE HAVE THE FILES
RELEASE THEM 🤬😬😬

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.

He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."

In a nutshell. 😊

I liked democracy better.

72 here. Old. Mind not nearly as nimble as it once was. Golf game is spotty.
But so very blessed. Wife loves me.
Daughter and I had lunch at a vegan restaurant and pedicures yesterday. She then brought her dog and spent the night while her mother was out of town.
So very blessed I am.

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.

Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.

Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.

With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

Why are we allowing the shittiest group of people ruin everything for the rest of us?

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

STOP ITTTTTT 😭

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

This dog rescue had a slumber party night where volunteers got to sleep with a dog up for adoption!

This is the kind of place I’d donate my time and money to.

Slumber Pawty! 🐾

DID NOT REALIZE SECRETARYBIRDS WERE THAT BIG

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Words Of Al Jazeera Columnist......

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.
