Trump said again he’s open to sending U.S. citizens to a Salvadoran prison. There is no constitutional basis for this—such an act would be a direct violation of the Constitution.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Harvard is standing up to Trump & will not turn over control of the university to Administration diktats. Let's be clear. The Trump administration is taking a playbook from the Nazis & others who have targeted universities in a quest for absolute power. Resist. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/14/m...

AAP factcheck on lib party campaign ad blaming Labor for “world-leading” inflation rates.

However, experts say Australia has had lower inflation than other advanced economies under Albanese govt.

So the Liberals lied. Again

Let’s be clear.

Advance is not a lobby group.

Nor is it an advocacy group.

It’s a RW sect of nutjack zealots funded by big money to interfere in democracy 4 the benefit of big money

No lie is too big. No slur is too vile.

It’s abt money, power & manipulation of the narrative to divide & conquer

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.

This is not lawful.

Here we go again… Texas mask ban in the works.

Masks should never be criminalized. They’re an essential public health tool. They allow disabled people to safely access public spaces.

Mask bans disproportionately harm the disabled, marginalized & people of colour.
