Andrea Perry Lerner 🌻

Just visited Juan Velasco. He’s an honest, hardworking Dreamer who works in healthcare. Today he’s sitting in a prison in Laredo, TX missing his family that includes a two month old baby girl. He’s dealing with kidney stones and has lost lots of weight because of gastrointestinal issues. He should be at home with wife, Stephanie, and their children. Thank you for speaking up for Juan and those like him who have been unfairly targeted by the Trump Administration.

The media now has a long history of passing off people deeply connected to GOP politics as regular everyday voters in the Trump era. It took me like 90 seconds to find out that she doesn’t live in DC and testified in Congress in favor of Trump’s tax cut bill, which feels like relevant context if she’s going to be interviewed about her views. @ABC

Damn, they’re coming out with new LEGO videos every day, and they keep getting better and better. Of course, they’re only effective because they contain a lot of truth about the Trump regime and its policies.

Just flagging that Jared Kushner was reportedly in the situation room for a key meeting in the lead up to the war in Iran. He has billions in investments from the Saudi government, which was pressuring Trump to go to war. Not normal. Not ok. nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/…

If we didn't have a maniac as secretary of defense, a toady as secretary of state, and a nobody as chief of staff, they'd be spending today making sure the military checks in with them before obeying any orders from Trump, and getting in touch w/ Congress to arrange impeachment.

ICE pepper sprayed and body-slammed 80-year-old Santa Barbara attorney Doug Hayes for confronting masked federal thugs in public. An old man spoke up. They answered with chemical spray and brute force. We asked PAXIS.app for its thoughts: Strip away the badge and acronym and what’s left is simple: cowards hurting an elderly man because they could. That is not law enforcement. That is state-sponsored bullying by armed men too weak to show their faces. FIGHT TRUMP, FIGHT ICE, FIGHT FASCISM: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

In the middle of a war, Pete Hegseth is trying to censor a military newspaper. We NEED clear, uncensored reporting right now. This is a blatant attack on the First Amendment, and I’m fighting back.

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Stephanie Villarreal is a U.S. citizen and mother of three—her youngest is nine weeks old. Her husband was on the way to visit their newborn daughter in the NICU when ICE arrested him. He has been locked away in Laredo, Texas, at a for-profit detention center—unable to hold his baby and raise his children. He is a DACA recipient who did everything the right way. Today, I met with Stephanie and her husband Juan to check on them and work toward his release. The Trump Administration must stop targeting Dreamers who make our country great.

All across Pennsylvania, folks are ready to send a clear message that we are going to keep moving our Commonwealth forward – and we are done with Donald Trump’s chaos, cruelty, and corruption. This November, we’re going to do just that.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS: Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it. Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy. The California Supreme Court stepped in and shut it down, because law enforcement doesn’t get to play election referee when they don’t like the outcome. Let’s be clear about the legal mess he’s in: • Lawsuit from California Attorney General Rob Bonta • Lawsuit from the UCLA Voting Rights Project • Ongoing Supreme Court review of his actions

@Acyn @mrbigg450 The people in North Korea are forced to listen to shit like this.

I blame his voters. I blame every Republican in office. I blame every coward in media, business, academia, and politics who bent the knee. They taught him there are no consequences. They taught him he deserves obedience. They taught him he should be worshipped.

Good. He’s gone. Swalwell is gone. But Trump remains. That tells you everything. Trump is held to a standard that does not exist for anyone else in American politics. Any other Republican would be finished. Any other official would be driven out in disgrace. But Trump gets endless excuses, endless protection, and endless immunity from the very people who claim to care about standards, character, and the Constitution. No president has ever done more to deserve removal, yet no president has ever been shielded more. That is the corruption. That is the double standard. That is the rot.

None of this is true. Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, fenbendazole, are cheap generic antiparasitic drugs, which the wellness influencer grifters buy in bulk, repackage with their own label, and sell with $1,600 telehealth visits. They care only about their luxury homes and cars, they despise humanity

“What we are seeing now is, it’s being counterpoised by the notion that might makes right. That is fundamentally incompatible with the founders’ vision of our country and what should be our moral vision as a nation,” says Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, D.C. “Might does not make right." cbsn.ws/4dMk8SP

An election-denying Republican member of Congress is targeting New York’s voter registration process — demanding records and threatening legal action over familiar, unproven narratives about voter fraud. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/el…

We could have saved a whole lot of misery.

I will no longer say things can’t get dumber because obviously the universe interpreted that as a dare.
