Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

Sad time to lose a progressive pope with a big heart ❤️‍🩹

When they ban abortions and dismantle sexual violence prevention resources it’s pretty clear how they expect their desired baby boom to happen.

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

Powell: The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

A call for womxn as we gear up for battle: It's time to remember who the fuck we are. Our intuition is deeply beyond manufactured comparison. It time to reach for the stars of our limitless potential, rise up above the cauldron and hiss like serpents until the lost men scream. 🐍

Trump told us the plan today: The Trump administration wants the prison in El Salvador — and, perhaps, others — to hold Americans. Importantly, Vance, Rubio, and Bondi did not appear surprised or upset by this news — in fact, it did not appear to be news to them at all. This is the plan. Law Dork:

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

This!

This is unconscionable 🚨

Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

The trump mind virus must be stopped, civilization hinges on it

It’s a great time to be a full-time poet and not a Wall St reporter. Quit just before the stock market hit peak irrationality. I’m down about 500% in stress over the past month, outperforming every trader

Important thread

In the President Harris timeline, we all have fun plans for the weekend that don’t include hoarding coffee or medicine.

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

This!!

Seems pretty fascism-y

Targeting both the women’s and African American museums 😒

Didn’t maga spend several years chanting “lock her up” for Hillary’s private email server that wasn’t discussing top secret info? Is their silence now 1. hypocrisy on display 2. proof of radicalization 3. cult brainwashing at its finest 4. all of the above

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
