While trump takes midday naps, Zohran is “delivering” for NYC.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2w agoIf it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

When you go to pay your taxes today, remember that billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos got way more benefits from Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” than you or me! I explain how.
A family in Green Bay. One waving “F- - - Trump” flag and one dragging speaker with song blaring “arrest the president.” #NoKings
If this is happening at just one of the concentration camps, what’s happening at the others? Donald Trump has already mentioned ICE being at the polls so as these places will only get more full the conditions will continue to worsen Credits: @berenice_dolls IG
Critical alert about ICE death camps.
Austin Kocher, PhD@austinkocher.com · 5mo agoRoyer Perez-Jimenez was 19 years old. He died by suicide at 3am on March 16 at Glades County Detention Center in Florida. He is the 2nd person to die in ICE custody this week, the 13th this year, and the 42nd under Trump. 🧵

Can I get an amen?! "A new era of religious leadership in the U.S Catholic Church has dawned — driven by the immoral and destructive extremes of the Trump administration. No longer can anyone, but Catholics in particular, infer consent from episcopal silence."
Editorial: The church speaks out. A new era has dawned.
It is a new level of opposition for American cardinals to formally question the fundamental morality of an administration's engagement with the world.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Merriam-Webster's editors have chosen "slop" (digital content of low quality) as the dictionary's 2025 word of the year. It's the perfect description of Trump's Truth Social posts.
Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
The Ukrainian Review@theukrainianreview.bsky.social · 8mo ago💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv. The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.
Perhaps he's referring to all the babies conceived during all of the House of Representatives' time away from Washington.
