Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

I’m feeling the fatigue and daily anxiety of having a president who is a criminal and psychopath. I hear from others feeling the same. I also know we can’t give up. We have to summon our spirits and strength to keep up the fight for democracy, our beloved country, our Constitution, our sanity.

I’ve been quiet for a while, researching whether other animals lie. They do but not in the way the current administration does. Other animals deceive to find a mate or trick a predator. Our criminal president lies to hold onto power and control people. Those who follow him practice self-deception.

On the agenda that day: the future of nuclear energy in the Trump era. The meeting was convened by 31-year-old lawyer Seth Cohen. Just five years out of law school, Cohen brought no significant experience in nuclear law or policy; he had just entered government through Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency team.

As Cohen led the group through a technical conversation about licensing nuclear reactor designs, he repeatedly downplayed health and safety concerns. When staff brought up the topic of radiation exposure from nuclear test sites, Cohen broke in.

“They are testing in Utah. … I don’t know, like 70 people live there,” he said.

Her partner died in the Baltimore bridge collapse. The Biden administration offered her a way to stay in the U.S. Their 7-year-old is a U.S. citizen. The Trump admin is deporting her. www.npr.org/2026/04/23/n...

Bravo to Phila City Council for passing common sense ICE Out bills: banning masks, banning feds from using city property, and providing official sanctuary city status, etc. Working Families Party Council members for the win. I hope Mayor Parker signs them www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...
inquirer.com
Philadelphia City Council just adopted some of the nation’s most aggressive policies aimed at restricting ICE
The passage of the legislation could thrust Philadelphia into the national conversation around immigration under Trump, a scenario Mayor Cherelle L. Parker has sought to avoid.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

The first American Pope in history is a great honor. And yet he won’t be coming home on July 4th as originally scheduled. When the Pope looks at the U.S. and says, “No thank you,” it’s an indictment. Of our politics. Our corruption. Our greed disguised as freedom.👇
