They line up perfectly.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com @arimelber.bsky.social Fingers crossed that when NYC is thriving in a couple years you have the ambassador back on air to answer for his “Chicken Little” warnings.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Enjoying the podcast (I’m a couple episodes behind.). But your feed here needs more Vizsla pictures—a lot more. They are critical to maintaining sanity in these times. 🙃

Male veterans are encountering obstacles in getting treatment for breast cancer in the VA system because of Trump's executive order meant to oppress trans people. I say that again: non-trans men are struggling to get treatment for breast cancer due to transphobia.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.
White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

It's been 23 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

The bus scene has some tiny little sections I think I forgot about. Nice to watch it again for a refresher!

@velshi.com You know how @arimelber.bsky.social has those nifty branded lighters for his show? I think you need to partner with the folks at #nerdwax to have a Velshi Banned Book Club jinkies to clean glasses. They already have several “books” that are on someone’s banned list.

If you so much as look like you might be a migrant, your rights are subject to the whims of ICE and the courts now. Be careful out there. Have people ready on speed dial who can help.
A post from Pop Base (@PopBase ) on X reads: "Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen, was detained in Florida under a state anti-immigration law — even after his birth certificate and Social Security card were presented in court. He was charged under a law that was temporarily blocked by a federal judge on April 4th, before his arrest. He’s now been released and reunited with his family." Below the text, there is an image of a young man and a woman hugging in a restaurant, with tables, chairs, and a window with a fast-food advertisement in the background.

Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally

4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

@arimelber.bsky.social When you have Carville on & he says Dems lost due to focus on culture issues, could you ask about the morality of letting MAGA eliminate trans people in exchange for winning elections? Can’t we message that hurting folks doesn’t lower prices or improve life in red states?

It looks like Republicans think that unless you’re a billionaire, you don’t deserve a damn thing in terms of help or support.
Pete Aguilar I'm so angry - House Republicans have introduced legislation to repeal the $35/month cap on insulin that Democrats passed for seniors on Medicare. I need you to retweet and spread the word about this. Every voter needs to know.
