If a #TransCollegeAthlete participated in an official game in #Texas, it would make front page news.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

While Neuralink inserts chips directly into brain tissue, Beinao No.1 uses a semi-invasive method by placing the chip on the brain’s surface. This slightly compromises signal strength but reduces the risk of brain damage and complications after surgery. caliber.az/en/post/chin...

For @semafor.com's media newsletter, I wrote about the growing audience on YouTube for #Resistance content. One example: At the beginning of 2025, Adam Schiff's YouTube videos were getting a few thousand views. Now, he's racking up tens of millions of views a month. www.semafor.com/article/04/1...

Is Witkoff working for Putin or what? Cause it sure looks like it 🤮 #UkrainianView "The fastest way to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine, said Witkoff, was to support a strategy that would give Russia ownership of four eastern Ukrainian regions" www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

So, let’s count the ways they’re gobbling up the government: Close the Post Office and make it private (we’ll save money just like we save on our private health care!); close prison systems and make it private (again, the savings!); close all agencies that block corruption and close the IRS. This:

Meta whistleblower: Company executives lied about what they were doing with the Chinese Communist Party to employees, shareholders, Congress, and the American public. I sit before this committee today to set the record straight about these illegal and dangerous activities.

This is a very informative and helpful guide to surviving martial law if imposed here in the US. We should all be prepared mentally, physically and emotionally. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what...

What happened today reeks of insider trading. Trump’s tweet wasn’t random—it was a signal. Someone cashed in, and the public deserves to know who and how much. Follow. The. Money. “This entire White House is one giant grift.” —Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social shining a spotlight on it! 🔥

The bodega cats account not using alt text is such a bummer because 1) cats should be accessible to all 2) those photos are PERFECT for some humorous alt text

The Nazis industrialized murder using early 20th century factory concepts so it seems only fitting that 21st century American Nazis would Amazon-ify it. Btw, this is the sort of thing that should earn Homan a front-row seat at the Hague followed by a long prison sentence.

That is called genocide. And this is the direct result of shitty ceasefire talks, escalation management, and leaving even occupied territories in the hands of russian scum. Meanwhile, nothing is really being done to prevent this. Only Ukrainians are fighting. #UkrainianView

We're all immigrants. ✊

“…if you look at the Declaration of Independence, one of the grievances against King George III is that he took ppl…& sent them to foreign countries to be tried on made-up charges," said @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social. “… I don’t want to be saying we’re speedrunning the Declaration of Independence.”

Incredible to see how this admin is spending all that money they are supposedly saving with the DOGE efficiency cuts. Taking money from rural public libraries and giving it to the Pentagon and J6ers.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day

ACTION ALERT: call your representatives (202)225-3121

If that’s the end game for the 🍊 menace, we’re on track. Scary 🧵

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Trump’s family owns and invests in crypto businesses. Trump launched his own meme coins. The crypto industry gave his campaign at least $119M. Crypto CEOs chipped in $30M more. Now, his DOJ shut down the team investigating crypto fraud. This is what corruption looks like.

Thank you @chescaleigh.bsky.social. This is absolutely fabulous ⬇️ 🗃️

Keep calling your republican senators! Please!

I’m sorry, but the language from Putin and bombings in Ukraine is the same as Netanyahu regarding the murder of the Red Crescent personnel. And I know I can’t use a tag because this will disappear- yes, there’s censorship here too

Uhhh how many kindergarteners had to be shot before our nation finally sobered up and realized that we needed comprehensive gun control?
