Happy Earth Day from Jessie Fleming and her bike 🚴‍♀️

Happy Earth Day from our neighborhood bear. Just letting us know he stopped by 🐻 🌎

Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

“If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody.” —Sen. Van Hollen

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who recently met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, slammed the Trump administration for its handling of the Maryland man’s mistaken deportation, telling CNN it poses a threat to “the constitutional rights of everybody in America.”

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

Old North Church, in Boston this week

Do not doubt for one nanosecond that the sociopath who was willing to let Americans die on a cruise ship off the coast of CA because he didn’t want them to ‘increase his Covid numbers’ is the same sociopath who’d willingly send innocent Hispanics to a foreign prison to boost his deportation numbers…

Due to the constant online attacks from Trump and Elon, 67 judges are now receiving enhanced security because of their involvement in high-profile cases. Threats against judges have already led to criminal charges against nearly 50 individuals.

Does the GOP have no conscience or shame???

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

Big step forward for public safety 🚨 AST SpaceMobile has received FCC authorization to test our space-based cellular broadband network on Band 14 — the dedicated spectrum for first responders on FirstNet Built with AT&T.
We will begin beta testing mission via our BlueBirds, no special gear needed.

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

BREAKING: An immigration attorney & U.S. citizen received an email on Friday from the federal government telling her to leave the country. A senior DHS official said that “notices may have been sent to unintended recipients” and said the agency will address issues on a case-by-case basis.

NEW: The federal government on Monday night said it was freezing more than $2 billion in grants to Harvard University after the school said it would not accept Trump administration demands that included auditing viewpoints of the student body.

“The language in the email is very threatening ... And it looks kind of like a sketchy spam email. It doesn’t look like an official government notice, but it is.”

Our local manufacturing capacity is increasing. We’ve produced a similar but sturdier Cybertruck, named the Bergerblock (Left Photo.) We’ve also produced a facsimile of the humans we expect to purchase our Bergerblocks. Our artisan designer named it “Fragilis Masculinis” which is Latin, we think.

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

Veterans are against the Save Act. The men & women serving in the US military should not be victims of voter suppression! FCS!

Congressional Democrats are questioning whether President Trump and his allies may have improperly acted on his suggestion that it was a “great time to buy” stocks shortly before announcing he was cutting back on some of his new tariffs — a move that made the markets go up.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

They can only stay in power if they take away the voices of the people.

Meta intentionally undermined US security. www.axios.com/2025/04/09/f...

60 Minutes segment interviewing photojournalist who witnessed the arrival of the deportees to El Salvador... Absolutely horrifying that our government could do this and get away with it. SCOTUS is not addressing this. www.cbsnews.com/news/photojo...

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

So Trump posts in truth social to “buy” and hours later places a 90 pause on reciprocal tariffs. That is BLATANT market manipulation. Where TF is oversight? Oh yeah…fired to save money for parades and golf tournaments.

Fixed it.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

The people telling you to "be cool" while THEY fuck up your 401K are going to be fine financially, no matter what happens. Fuck that. Be pissed. STAY pissed. And vote Republicans OUT. Every last cowardly one of them.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Elections have consequences

Why do I worry about my kids? Imagine having the cops show up at your front door because a school bus driver said your autistic son, who was out for a walk and deep in thought, was "scary looking". Now imagine if he can't prove his citizenship or clearly answer questions (he's autistic)?

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate. This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

Books on the Holocaust, civil rights, and Maya Angelou’s famous autobiography 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' were among those removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s library after Defense Secretary Hegseth ordered the school to get rid of ones that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

The nearest Costco is 2 hrs from me. I may get a membership and order stuff online.

We could have had a decent, rational human being leading us into a future of possibility where everyone could have a seat at the table but now we don’t. It didn’t have to be this way. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-could-h...

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.
