Donald Trump is not a king—he's a president bound by our Constitution. In America, the government doesn’t get to grab people off the streets, skip the courtroom, and send them straight to a foreign prison. Due process isn't optional in America—it's guaranteed.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

A small gesture of kindness doesn't stop there - it reverberates outward, creating ripples of hope and compassion at a time when it is needed most. A single moment of appreciation can inspire countless others. Share it freely and let its light reach far and wide

The New York Times has obtained the autopsies of the Palestinian medics massacred by the Israeli occupation army. They show that some were shot point blank in the skull.

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

He almost put enough gold stuff in the White House to make it look like the Kremlin. Not quite, but he’ll get there.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

Exactly. Trump and Miller want to make El Salvador their Generalgouvernement, and Bukele is stepping up to be their Hans Frank.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

We need ideas like this. We've got to put all constructive thoughts out there, long odds or not. If we don't, we guarantee they won't materialize. So thanks @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. Maybe this'll get a few Republicans thinking harder about history than their next election.

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.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

“The finding, contained in a March memo that was described to The Washington Post, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not have sufficient grounds for revoking Ozturk’s visa under an authority empowering the top U.S. diplomat to safeguard the foreign policy interests of the United States.”

Katie, who’s still sad about what happened in gym class last week, has said she would like to speak with Susie, but she has stopped short of requesting a phone call, believing that it’s Susie’s turn to ask for such a call. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Bridget. ❤️ Friends, I find myself in the unusual role of advocating on behalf of my family after years of advocating on behalf of others. My son’s 42nd surgery is stalled without Medicaid. Our nation has just fallen so fast. 😔 Thank you for your support. 💞🙏🏽

What? Napping #Caturday

@ruzele.bsky.social hey! Welcome to Blue Sky! It’s lots friendlier here

Food. There is no humanity in this administration.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.
