Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.
Ari Fleischer: Very concerned about political power grabs. A real democracy defender. Yep.
How exactly will criticizing him on social media change one iota what other right-wing assholes think of Trump?
He deserves the smoke. He’s a grifting amoral opportunist just as he’s always been.
NO ARTICLE…
Just a 45 second video
See American vets protesting the Iranian war get zip tied & removed today. (Tuesday, 4/21/26). Watch an elderly female vet in a wheelchair get taken away by police... or someone.

russia contiues to erase Kostiantynivka, constantly shelling the city with bombs and artillery.
Pilots from the Fenix Border Guard unit recorded a series of simultaneous strikes, shaking the entire area.
Support our defenders — they really need it:

Not even proposing it. She’s actually legitimizing it with her words.
The American Gestapo doesn’t need “guardrails.” FFS.

Absolutely. And many of them are as compromised as Trump is, so they have extra incentive to protect him.
It’s not failure when you take into account that Putin and Netanyahu are calling the shots. Destroying the U.S. is a victory.
He’s right, of course. But Congressman Goldman conveniently forgets the other authoritarian genocidal war criminal Trump admires and allies with. I guess moral outrage doesn’t extend to those underwriting one’s campaign.
No doubt. Certainly saw it with Kamala over and over.
I don’t know what this is referencing, but it’s always irked me when announcers can’t get names right. You get paid to talk; you should do the work to know who you’re talking about. To butcher people’s names constantly is disrespectful.

They have more enmity for progressive voices than they ever will for the GOP. The establishment Dems are defenders of the status quo to the last breath, even as it’s being demolished by Nazis.
Despite every tenth Hollywood movie for the past fifty years using an amoral greedy businessman as the archetype of evil, people responsible for governing continue to give unchecked power to corporate dudes who make Bond villains look like rational, thoughtful philanthropists.
Hey friends, TIME TO ENGAGE! Here’s a link to join me on Sunday, 4/19, at 4:30 pm ET, for the “Fight Back, Vote YES” effort in Virginia!

4. AOC kicks his ass.

If you agree voters deserve to hear from every candidate before June 23 — share this thread.

Today I sent open letters to two organizations that hosted MD-06 candidate forums in 2024 — and have scheduled nothing for 2026.
With a primary 9 weeks out, voters deserve the same access they had two years ago. 🧵
What happens when you install Supreme Court Justices who have contempt for the law and the Constitution. They’re just ideologues. The “judicial activists” they always decry.
Tennessee plans to execute Tony Carruthers on May 21 for a crime he didn't commit because they refuse to compare DNA and fingerprint evidence against the most likely alternative suspect.
Tell Tennessee to commit to finding out the truth before a potentially innocent man is killed by the state.
The stupidity is only exceeded by the sheer evil and cruelty.
One can only surmise there’s real money in being as full of shit as Jordan is. www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-ne...
Leaked memos show John Roberts circumvented procedure to rule against Obama’s Clean Power Plan
Also—very smart of lib justices to leak in order to undermine the Court itself. Like what Gingrich did to Congress, but against the bad branch this time.

Also an anti-corruption and anti-complicity wave.
