Did you know Hanes is El Salvador’s biggest importer? • They can use their economic influence to pressure Bukele to release Kilmer Garcia • Stop making products in a country willing to imprison American citizens without due process Call and tell them you will #BoycottHanes 👇🏼

So this is very bad. The government does not have the staff to keep its networks & data secure or functional. As a result, the HHS won’t be able to protect sensitive data or carry out its work. Imagine the US without research, emergency response, prevention, regulating medicines, health insurance…

Can CBS be intimidated? Trump sure is trying. This is retribution in action – he is singling out "60 Minutes" just like he is targeting Harvard and big law firms and Democratic politicians and so on

The unexpected sound of a #porcupine asking for food is … polite. Despite their spiky defense, porcupines are gentle herbivores and they’re surprisingly vocal. It’s common they chatter or hum when they’re hungry, especially in human care

“Many people don’t realize how high the American quality of life is because of the competent & stable enforcement of regulations, &if that goes away a lot of lives are at risk,” said Steve Cicala… “This affects airplane safety, baby formula safety, the safety of meat, vegetables and packaged foods…”

I have to keep posting! I have to keep sounding the alarm! 🤨✊💙

These are the words of a tyrant, not a president.

"This executive order is bad — cartoonishly so. But it is also a wake-up call for those who believe the danger of election subversion has passed." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Talk of disappearing anyone into gulags in El Salvador is an affront to our Constitution. We need a few Republicans members to find the spine to join House Democrats in impeachment proceedings against the Fascist-in-Chief.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

The very best of America’s shitposters are now outgunned by their Chinese peers. Balance of power has shifted.

I tried to post this, did not succeed. Kudos to my pal Mark Hamill. Here it is.

Called my Republican rep to tell her that Trump is acting as a dictator and needs to be impeached. Idc how red your district is: flood the phones. Scare them with numbers. If any rep ever believed in the Constitution, now is the time for them to step tf up.

As far as I'm aware, the first documented spike in data leaving an agency after DOGE infiltration. Extensive forensic evidence. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Put it on a protest poster goddammit. "TAKE HIM ANYWAY"

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong. I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the United States, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

We will all be here one day, some of us sooner than later. Stand up for your parents, grandparents and yourselves! #MomSky

You need to know how Trump is destroying education in America so you can help us stop him. Watch my conversation with #SistersInLaw @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this week’s #JustTheFacts episode to learn everything you need to know. Also note my Ukrainian #JillsPin youtu.be/TsLFZCOEPNs

My latest on Substack: Jackie Robinson purged from the military web, the Iwo Jima memorial scrubbed of Native Americans and Douthat talks to Bannon about technofeudalism and rich folks' posthuman future, while Teslas are literally burning.

Statement from the family of the late Medgar Evers.

“Mieka, who worked on gender-based violence, got a stop-work order at around 6 p.m. on Jan. 27. Four days later, she was furloughed without pay, and shortly after received a notice that her health insurance would be cut off 24 hours later. She had only two weeks left in medication she needs daily”

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

The entire Minnesota Vikings team donates $70 million to support the recovery efforts following the wildfire in Los Angeles.

Living in the US right now feels like being on an airplane with a drunk pilot who is heading straight into the side of a mountain and there's not a damn thing you can do.
