If any one of us called for Brian Kilmeade to be killed by lethal injection, for any reason, we'd be rightly excoriated.
Yet he can go on national television, casually call for the extrajudicial murder of an entire group of people, and it'll be forgotten before the coffee gets cold.
Fuck this.
I'd rather be on a list of people who are upset that a bigot is getting more sympathy than victims of other recent assassinations (who happen to be the 'other' political party, than on a list of people who participated in an insurrection on January 6th. Pretty sure this is the right side of history.
old enough to remember the 2001 AUMF, tired enough to realize it’s still around
The closest Papa Johns to the Pentagon is reporting high levels of activity as of 10:38pm ET.
The price of fascism. If you browse this page- So many were killed within a few months of being taken. How long has the US been sending people to similar situations this year?
If Joe Biden posted this Memorial Day message, the mainstream media and Republicans would say he is completely unfit to serve, with many calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment.
Because it's Trump, everyone remains silent.
I'm sorry, what??
This is one of my hardest follow on here. It's also one of the most impactful. Give the page a scroll (and tell me we aren't on a speeding train headed this exact way again).
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NYU Faculty Take Classes Off Campus to Protest Lack of Protections for International Students NEW YORK, April 17, 2025 - More than fifty NYU faculty members have taken their classes off campus starting today, and continuing for the next week, to protest the University's lack of commitment to protect international students in the face of the Trump administration's attacks. Some faculty have moved their classes to in-person locations that have been declared sanctuary spaces, where international students are assured that building administrators will do everything in their power to refuse to cooperate with ICE agents. Other faculty have moved their classes online so that students can attend from a safe location of their choosing.
This is how you do it.
I'm genuinely worried we're about to see the courts have no teeth and we lose even the illusion that the powers are checked or balanced
Senator Chris Van Hollen has requested an urgent meeting with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador to address the situation involving Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was “mistakenly”deported from the United States to a prison in El Salvador.
OMG this is so good
Crosswalks across Silicon Valley were hacked this weekend. Pressing the button now triggers a message impersonating Elon Musk—mocking him in the process. Videos have been circulating online all weekend. 😂
Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

Someone adored this cat! Her name was Chassy and I have a set of photos of her from 1954.
Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it?
Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…
Martial Law.
It’s the elephant in the room.
It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them.
It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for.
🧵…
You can understand a lot of what is happening in the White House with just four words:
Trump lies. Musk steals.
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
Someone has to go to jail for this. It’s insane. Calling my 87 yo mother and we’re talking about Watergate today.
I agree, but I'm a Ravens fan. We still cool?
Trump says the phone lines seniors use to get their Social Security checks have to be shut down for security reasons, but his staff is planning bombing campaigns over text message.
The super rich crashed the economy in 1929.
The super rich crashed the economy in 2008.
Now Donald Trump is putting the super rich in charge of the entire government.
It’s dangerous.
Detainees died due to starvation or dehydration. ICE murdered them.
What Roman Mars can learn about botulism 🤣
Donald Trump’s reckless approach to tariffs will jack up prices on groceries and everyday goods for struggling families.
Smart tariffs can be important. Unfortunately, Trump only uses tariffs to stroke his ego and make himself more money.
Trans youth deserve safe schools, loving homes, and the medical care they need.
Props to a fellow Houstonian Al Green, we can’t just sit back and do nothing while Trump and Musk slash our healthcare, jack up prices, and bring us to a literal trade war.
KEEP FIGHTING!
What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
