We had four years to act like we were at war with a fascist takeover on US soil. We voted for accountability, and we didn’t get it. …1/11

GOV. @andybeshearky.bsky.social : “All children are children of God. I didn’t want a legislature picking on those kids. If they show them hate, I’ll show them love.” 🏳️‍🌈 As @GovBillLee signs hate bills (despite having a sister who is married to a woman), next door Beshear leads with love.

NEW: From flood relief to child care, here’s what West Virginia stands to lose as Trump cuts AmeriCorps funding

My kids once sent me this panel, asking about the lore behind Colossus’ huge penis (the foreshortened leg) to which I replied w/ information about the OTHER Rasputin’s huge penis and said maybe it’s a family trait.

Remember when this used to be parody?

BREAKING: a rival Pope has been declared and taken residence in Avignon, France. This Avignon Papacy is a direct rival to the Chicago Pope and sets up a conflict between AP and Chicago style Catholics.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

This from @jdcivicscience.bsky.social nails why small town, red America is not turning on Trump.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Slept in my AC/DC shirt and woke up in Hell.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Growing up, I had contact with refuseniks, people who, after long fights, managed to get out of the Soviet Union. And I remember, listening to their stories, asking (paraphrased). “when they hold all the power, what can you do?” And I’ve never forgotten what one of them said. “Don’t be afraid.”

SCOTUS rules that habeas petitions must be filed in the district that persons are detained. ICE is shipping detainees from urban locations / blue states to a jail in *rural Louisiana* where they will petition only MAGA judges before being sent to the El Salvador gulag. They are not coming home.

Sarah Pailin becomes relevant again.

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy! Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #April5 #HandsOff

Love seeing all the people who care. Big cities are amazing, but this bravery is what makes my heart burst.

The media insists on talking about “What is Trump’s political strategy?” Sweet Jesus. The “Strategy” is destruction. Please, stop f*cking pretending that it’s anything else.

Shout out to the top five offs in the world, dance, blast, strogan, David Hasselh and hands.

Who did this?

Congratu-BLEEPING-lations! It’s time we had a little talk about your use of expletive infixation. ‘Expletive infixation’ is the linguistic term for profanity inserted into a word for emphasis. (For this thread, we’ll use 'BLEEPING,' but feel free to substitute another word.)

I’d like my deep state corrupt government back please.
