My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

France finally acknowledged the debt they owe Haiti. This is just the beginning of something. I'm gonna republish the feed. This is important. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/f...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

>reading the David Brooks Op Ed about mass strikes and seeing him quote the communist manifesto at the end

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

he's such a fucking creep.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

Guess what the magnitude of threats is actually the main thing that matters about them! Getting struck by lightning and getting cancer are both ‘threats’ in some abstract way but in the real world you should care about one of them and not the other.

Old enough to remember when 30 campus speaker disinvitation attempts were a grave threat to free speech

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

"BUT I WANT THEM TO LIVE" Credit where it's due. Bravo, Gov. Cox.

I've seen a lot of 'if you wanted to collapse higher education in America, this is how you'd do it," and I don't mean to be rude, but that isn't a distant point: this is them literally, explicitly, and actively working to collapse higher education in this country, and doing it because they want to

Woke up early and decided to check something on Twitter:

If we can't take simple actions, we will not take hard ones.

After New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker's 25-hour speech, a 14-year-old Palestinian American who was raised in New Jersey was killed by Israel in the West Bank on Sunday, and Cory Booker hasn't said a thing about this:

@stevemcd1.bsky.social Interesting project and potential dataset.

Wow! Three scholars at Columbia, Michigan, & Maryland just introduced a measure of the partisan leanings of employers in the U.S. The data is constructed by linking voter registrations to online worker profiles. VRscores capture the political affiliations of 21.8M workers across 2.6M employers.

Like this paper? Here's another that will be right up your alley. Here, the authors merge voter files & online resumes to create a dataset of 34.5M people. They show that Dems & Reps choose distinctive career paths and employers. This leads to a lot of partisan segregation at the workplace.

Striking parallel between Trump and Liz Truss in terms of the power of economics/markets to turn even one’s own partisans against you. Trump isn’t losing any support over his performative cruelty towards immigrants, but is rapidly losing Republicans over economic policy, stock market, inflation etc

It is pretty depressing to realize that fascists can get away with destroying the rule of law, persecuting trans people and so-called “illegals”, as long as they aren’t stupid enough to touch the market. On the other hand they all seem to be sufficiently stupid so there is that.

Absolutely incredible: the Feds totally folded on Congestion Pricing, thanks to the MTA just...refusing to abide by their demands www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Trump thinks all the other countries are locked in here with him, but he's locked in here with them.

Oh my god. Yarvin is that barely-C student in Political Philosophy 101 who won't shut up in class, and you know is angling for president of the Young Republicans.

make america great again means turning the clock on america’s political economy back to 1890, make america healthy again means doing the same for public health

Masculinity so frail it bankrupts itself and the global economy.

gender all the way down

all faculty and eligible university workers should pile into AAUP

I must not be the first person to bring this up But there has never been a more vindicated guy

Folks should understand Trump’s character by now. He loves supplication and side deals.

wokeness was keeping the economy afloat. wokeness kept planes in the air. wokeness kept us all safe

Why haven’t we seen more mainstream reporting on this?! It is a blueprint describing exactly what has happened since the inauguration, and we should be screaming this from the rooftops. These guys are out to destroy the American system of governance, as *they have stated they want to do.*

Stock futures dropped like a rock after the announcement of the tariffs.

Dead people telling the President to pursue a trade war with an uninhabited island is real George III territory

Inbox: Harvard has placed its Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee on suspension and banned it from hosting events on campus through this academic year, a day after hundreds protested Harvard’s choice to fire the heads of its Center for Middle Eastern Studies over Trump’s funding threats

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Crawford: I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.
