Same here.

Guardian - University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-Palestinian campus groups, including trailing them on and off campus, furtively recording them and eavesdropping on their conversations. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/06/michigan-university-gaz

“People will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so," House Speaker Mike Johnson said. Several experts and organizations expose this for the lie that it is.

Wow. Town hall audience on Republicans’ Medicaid and SNAP cuts: “People are going to die.” Republican senator smirks: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Democrats in 2024: Trump will push 10s of millions off of Medicaid if he wins Corporate Media: Democrats are liars, Trump promises not to cut anyone from Medicaid if he wins <Trump wins and cuts 13.7 million off of Medicaid> Corporate Media: real barn burner last night in House, so much fun!

Musk staffer Sam Corcos has been appointed chief information officer of the Treasury Department. Musk staffer Sam Corcos has been appointed chief information officer of the Treasury Department.

Leaving this here without comment

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

complete batshit insanity

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month. He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

Recap: *Vance insulted our NATO ally Denmark in bizarre bid to take over Greenland *Commander on the ground says his comments did not reflect the working relationship btw US and Denmark *She is fired The mildest pushback against their authoritarian fantasies is enough www.bbc.com/news/article...

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

How Trump plans to disappear people whose opinions or skin color he dislikes, by shipping them, without a trial, to foreign hellholes. Reminiscent of Hitler shipping people from Germany to Treblinka and Auschwitz in Poland. We Should All Be Very, Very Afraid www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Gulf of Maine scallop fishery likely to close for first time in over 15 years | This is directly, 100% because of ignorant and damaging cuts from Trump and Musk. There are countless such stories. Remember them when someone says “no one was hurt by these cuts”

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

WHAT CRIMINAL FASCIST LYING PIG TRUMP and his immoral fascist lie parrots like Leavitt won't address is - HOW WOULD WE KNOW if they're criminals or just soccer moms whom Trump sends forever to El Salvadoran DEATH CAMPS? IF THEY REFUSE TO ALLOW DUE PROCESS whereby a person's guilt could be confirmed?

Peter Hegseth just got rid of a book on Holocaust memorialization from the Naval Academy’s library but apparent it’s the Democrats and the left who have an antisemitism problem 🤷🏽‍♂️

It is unbelievably demotivating to look at the political landscape and realize that if you’re older than 40, you’re going to be dead before anything starts getting better again.

Who did this?

Thinking again about all the people over recent years who have hyperventilated in their insistence that the gravest threat to free speech and free inquiry was overzealous sophomores at Oberlin or something.

Can’t even begin to imagine how they’re going to vandalize the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the American Women’s History Museum.

So I saw this video on Tik Tok. We are fucked. This is Gestapo/Stalin's Secret Police shit - Admin V www.tiktok.com/@watchfulcoy...

Rick Wilson has told us repeatedly that "Everything Trump touches, dies." As Tesla goes from steep decline to toxic brand to retail pariah, and now begins to cough up blood, Elon Musk - instead of saying "Wow, Rick was right!" - lashes out, in true ketamine style, and suspends Rick's X account.

Trump threatens to put American citizens on deportation flights to a slave prison in El Salvador

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Relaxing evening

Apropos of nothing, now is a good time to brush up on your rights as a protester or protest organizer. You are largely protected under the first amendment, thiugh there are limitations. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

No blue crabs, by itself, is a five old bay emergency

When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army. Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.” But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%. And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more. Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to point out the top levels of the federal government aren't functional—the three key leaders here are drunk rapist TV show host at DoD, reality TV star at DoT, and nobody at FAA—and they're doing squat except spreading the same dysfunction down the ladder.

"What happened?" "I’m stuck. It's so embarrassing." “I guess things went... a-rye?” “Please do shut up.” "You should get out of the sun." "Why?" "Otherwise, you'll be toast." "You're an asshole, Charlie." “You’re right, you deserve butter.”

Food for thought.

Started watching Landman on Paramount Plus. Billy Bob Thorton is great in this show!
