The Berlin Wall went up and was brought down in my lifetime. Good. Now it appears that Civil Liberties will share the same fate. Not Good. Not Good at All.

@ProfessorBec @orlandosentinel Well put.

@orlandosentinel I think he meant “mediocre white men who have been used to getting to the top and are now challenged by smart, thoughtful, hard working everybody else” have been discriminated against. Boo hoo Puddin Fingers. 🖕

By MIKE SCHNEIDER ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — White men have been discriminated against through diversity, equity and inclusion programs, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday after signing legislation which prohibits counties and cities… orlandosentinel.com/2026/04/22/des…

@orlandosentinel <sigh> I'm not ashamed of being white. But, it's the God-honest truth that sometimes I am embarrassed. This is one of those times.

@atrupar I'm so freakin' sick of gop-speak. What the Republicans need to do is explain to the American people why they can't manage to utter a single, truthful sentence.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "What the Democrats need to do is explain to the American people why they want open border and why they don't want to deport these illegals that are truly running our cities and strait--- our, our, our streets. At some point they need to be held accountable."

@prem_thakker If Dersh wants to make aliyah, I can pitch in for gas money.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Lawyer Announces He Feels Safer as a Republican

@drhoffmo @Princeton I adore Michelle Obama. I believe she would appreciate the difference between an African American woman who earned a degree from Princeton and a man who earned a degree in African American Studies from Princeton.

@Princeton Back in my day African American princetonians looked like this

@raihan_farhad @davenewworld_2 You have a hole where your soul should be.

@davenewworld_2 You feed what you breed. WIC is meant to keep you alive, it is not a permanent solution, and therefore it does not have to be healthy. "BEGGARS CAN"T BE CHOOSERS"! If you are on WIC, you are effectively a beggar. We are compassionate to you, but you cannot make demands.

This is loathsome: The Trump admin's 2027 budget would slash the fruit-and-vegetable portion of the nutrition program for Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) by as MUCH AS 75%. So that would mean $52 down to $13 for fully or mostly breastfeeding participants, and $26 down to $10 for young children. The Epstein class wants to balance our budget on the backs of poor American mothers and young American children, just to fund their wars. How can ANYONE support this? Proposing a budget with cuts like this would strip away access to fresh food for US families during CRITICAL STAGES of child development. This is proof that they despise us.

@annastassiarose @ProudIdealist @FatherChrisVor1 There shouldn't be a felon in the White House. One is a matter of hospitality, the other is inexplicable.

@ProudIdealist @FatherChrisVor1 There shouldn’t be a muslim prayer room in the Vatican

The Pope removed his shoes in a mosque and people are outraged? That’s not compromise. That’s basic respect. If you enter someone’s home or sacred space, you honor their customs. We expect it in our churches. Why pretend not to understand it anywhere else?

The Secretary of Defense is doubling down on the felon as Jesus. This time it's in an "anti-press corp" Press Conference at the Pentagon. Honestly, this is one time it might be nice to see some old-fashioned "smiting" happen.

@nettermike What was written into the Constitution, and what the courts have ruled since, are what govern us today.

Republican Senator Jacob Howard, who was a coauthor of the 14th Amendment, said that the 14 Amendment was “simply declaratory” of the Civil Rights Act to protect freed slaves. He assured senators, “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, or who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.” J Turley

We knew they were gunnin' for the First Amendment. But I don't know if I realized how blatant they would be.

@atrupar I have no reason to suspect, much less believe, that Rick Scott cares one whit about my family or me.

Rick Scott: "Democrats must not have families, or they don't care about their families. I care about my family and your family. I want people to be safe. So they don't care that two-thirds of the people who are looking at, uh, cyber to make sure where terror cells are, they don't care that two-thirds of them aren't working."

@SteveAnders_11 @CNN Tulsi may have made the copies herself, for all I know.

@spclifton @CNN Because Gabby said so?

@CNN Why would Mr. Shilling have access to Georgia's Voter signatures?

@RightWingWatch I'm almost positive that if Abraham Lincoln were alive, he'd be one of those standing against the current administration.

Right-wing commentators James Kunstler and Eric Metaxas suggest that Trump needs to declare a national emergency and outlaw the Democratic Party: "I think it would probably look something like a civil war." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

@deborahlipstadt @JoshKraushaar How disappointing to see those who should know better fall in line when asked to ignore hatred being spewed at others. Too often in our name. As if we, of all people, should not be aware of how quickly that hatred can be turned on us.

Irrespective of what you think of AIPAC, there is something bigger and more ominous going on here…toxify-ing all things, Jewish and Israeli @JoshKraushaar

@KendallQuallsMN Only in Florida would republicans keep whining about the government when they've "controlled statewide office for the last 20 years". Oh, wait. That's not only in Florida. That's in the US House, the US Senate and the White House, too! Funny how that works, ain't it?

Only in Minnesota would Democrats have the audacity to hold a protest about kings when they've controlled statewide office for the last 20 years. We do have kings in Minnesota -- but they're all Democrats.

What is it with the gop and the First Amendment? Seriously. What part of religious freedom do they clearly not understand?

@ChrisBr03460427 @thehill Are those "illegal alien voters" in the room with you now?

@thehill It will scare away illegal alien voters the Democrats depend on.

Todd Blanche: ‘Why is there objection to sending ICE officers to polling places?’ thehill.com/homenews/admin…

@thehill Because it's against the law.
