Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

I have a request for you all as we celebrate @slangsonsports.bsky.social's birthday: Tell one person in your life today what makes them special to you. Be specific. Then report back here and tell us how it felt. We can all make a better effort at this, together. open.substack.com/pub/lindseya...

BREAKING: Trump announces 10% luck tariff on China, followed by a 20% skill tariff, a 15% percent tariff on the concentrated power of will, a 5% pleasure tariff, 50% pain tariff. Capped off with a 100% reason to remember the name tariff.

Austin Wells has started an Instagram account dedicated to ranking ballpark burritos -- on a 100 point scale! 💀

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

Now that’s a split-screen. ⛳️ @wsj.com

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

[In honor of April Fools' Day, I decided to go off script and make a gargantuan MLB starter pack that only features active accounts! Why? Because while baseball isn't quite as cool as basketball (what is?), it's still great and there are tons of MLB fans on here. So check it out if you are one too!]

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Happy Opening Day, nerds! go.bsky.app/GZjLuxK

The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

Truth!!

Retired U.S. Army General Barry McCaffrey on the Signal scandal: “Had that been a bunch of Majors & Lieutenant Commanders coordinating an attack, they'd all get fired and probably subject to criminal prosecution”

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

AOC and Bernie in Tucson was lit!

And that’s on that 😌

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.

You cannot tell the story of America by erasing the story of Jackie Robinson

Breaking News: Chief Justice John Roberts, in a rare statement, rebuked President Trump for calling for a judge’s impeachment.

Musk's "joke" calling Social Security recipients "vampires" reveals a lot: He sees retirees as parasites who don't deserve economic security. That's why he's going after Social Security. Trump's lies should fool no one on this front. www.salon.com/2025/03/18/e...
