Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

As we recognize Mental Health Awareness month, I’m deeply concerned about cuts to mental health services that support the most vulnerable among us. We must all continue to look out for and support one another.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

Still timely

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

Big shoutout to Chicago! ✊ 👏

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen calls for a complete divestment of El Salvador until Kilmar Abrego Garcia is returned to the United States: “When it comes to tourism…stay away from El Salvador so long as they're colluding with president Trump to violate people's constitutional rights.”

MacKenzie Scott deserved so much better than Jeff Bezos. He's a terrible human and I wish the absolute worst for him.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Dear god let this man cook.

apologizing for calling an asshole an asshole is delightfully on brand

There's only one person who's allowed to enter someone's home without a warrant, and that is Santa.

Good luck today, Canada 🇨🇦 elbows up!

I’m aware there are more serious things going on in the world, but finishing this project made my little corner happier.

Portland, Maine reporting in!

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

If this doesn’t make you furious, I don’t know what will.

Just saw a group of school children booing a passing Tesla, and it wasn’t even a cyber truck

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Meanwhile we're going backwards on science and women's health care here on earth. I'd rather have gender equality in abortion and reproductive health care. This is a waste of time and money.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.
