A little bit of good and evil. Friend of Dorothea. I blather on about British tv, Taylor, things that make me smile, because JOY is an act of resistance. But also disability, immigrant & 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. Smoggie in the USA. She/They (deal with it).

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

The statement by the team of Columbia University graduate and legal green card holder Mahmoud Khalil is heartbreaking. Anyone who cares about freedom of speech should be against the Louisiana judge ruling to deport him.

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

Got MSNBC on the radio but I’m scrolling BlueSky. If I was only listening to MSNBC I wouldn’t have a clue about what the Republicans have done to Medicaid, SNAP etc this morning as they haven’t learned at all from last time he was in power

NOT "The House." Republicans. Republicans just passed a budget bill that calls for $880 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next decade.

By slashing these grants, the Trump administration has launched an all-out attack on Arizona’s public health system. I will keep fighting to support the vital work of organizations like Hushabye Nursery. www.azfamily.com/2025/04/08/phoenix-nonprofit-loses-500000-federal-funding-after-hhs-cuts/

All four Minnesota GOP Representatives just voted for Donald Trump’s plan to pay for tax cuts for billionaires by gutting Medicaid.

MSNBC need to stop showing Trump blasting Biden being the worst president ever, this isn’t news, and they need to actually bring us the news about the budget just past that guys Medicaid, SNAP etc

Take a break from the trade war and focus on this. The Senate and House have passed identical budget resolutions and the reconciliation process has begun. 800 billion + in Medicaid cuts. 250 billion+ in SNAP cuts very possible unless we can make GOPers fear for their reelection chances.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches. They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

Even children would understand that to bring industries back to USA, it would take years to build factories, hire and train staff, find suppliers, design and test products…. what are we and the world supposed to do in the years while all this happening (and we’re not getting our beta blockers etc)

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Just broke on CNBC: A White House official confirms to me the new tariff against China this term now totals **145%**, not 125% as the President said yesterday. The EO spells out the “reciprocal” rate jumped from 84% to 125% overnight. Combined with the 20% fentanyl tariff, we’re at 145%.

I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The years of the dehumanization of immigrants by the right wing is what paved the way for Lyons’ rhetoric here.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

Like we said, his little tariff stunts are a fraud scheme, you didn't lose money, he stole it. It was insider fraud.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

So there’s a pause, but they all still have 10% on them, so not a pause just a decrease for some, but China is now up to 125% so definitely not a pause, and Canada and Mexico are still on 25% so not a pause and more tariffs are coming on pharmaceuticals and steel. FFS.
