So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

This should raise red flags for all of us. There's no room left for division, silence nor inaction. We are on the cusp of our nation dying & this is the part in our history where our descendants learn what we did to stop America from falling to a dictatorship. #MomSky www.npr.org/2025/04/09/n...

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

The rich HATE public land. This administration is purposefully hamstringing national parks so they can cry "wasted money" and sprint towards privatization. They desperately want to strip OUR parks of resources or make them exclusive spaces for the wealthy. We went through similar shit with the USPS

States argue that Musk wields the kind of power that can only be exercised by an officer of the gov’t who’s been nominated by the president & confirmed by the Senate under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution & allege DOGE hasn’t been authorized by Congress. www.reuters.com/legal/judge-...

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

One important sub-battle in Trump's war on healthcare is his war on cancer research. It's something that's woefully under discussed, and needs to break through to the lower information voters.

New in PN: Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship "The arguments being made by the administration boil down to this: if Trump wants to do it, he gets to. Their stance appears to literally be that laws are irrelevant in the face of Trump’s wishes and the courts can’t stop him."
