Student who ran a political debate club at FSU shares that the shooter was kicked out of the club because of his far right rhetoric and white supremacist views.

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

Trump and Bukele are piss their pants scared about this to think they could tamp this thing down by letting Van Hollen visit with Abrego Garcia. This is absolutely time to ramp up the pressure tenfold.

Where is our tax money going instead? Why doesn't the press hammer this?

One thing I think needs to be better explained to the general public: international students don’t compete much with domestic students for admission. Int’l students often pay full sticker price for tuition, and that subsidizes financial aid. They *help* the school admit more domestic students.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

Protest happening at the Leon County jail where Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, who was born in the U.S. , is being held after his arrest for illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien.”

DAVID BROOKS SAYS GENERAL STRIKE NOW AND BILL KRISTOL SAYS ABOLISH ICE

Bro really said "we have nothing to lose but our chains"

I would recommend reading Every Twelve Seconds if you want to know what the US slaughterhouse industry looks like under current conditions of regulation, and think about what happens if that gets taken away.

the CFPB returned billions of money stolen from consumers due to predatory practices, including redlining. just an abomination on behalf of Trump's base. the long island car dealership failsons wanted this more than anyone.

He won’t enact tariffs He won’t start a trade war He won’t cause a sell off ***YOU ARE HERE TODAY*** He won’t ban shorting He won’t delist ADRs He won’t fire Powell He won’t spark a banking crisis He won’t do capital controls He won’t close markets He won’t default on Treasuries

And now Boston area hospitals are laying off staff because of Elons NIH cuts. This is going to be duplicated at hospitals around the country.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

‘Show Me Where You Make Autism!’ Shouts RFK Jr., Storming Sour Patch Kids Factory theonion.com/show-me...

This is really insane. Acting US Attorney - still awaiting confirmation in the Senate - asserting that the government has an interest in ensuring "viewpoint diversity" in a peer reviewed medical journal.

day one of me eating 99-cent-a-pound ham: this is great, why don't we have ham more often day six of me eating 99-cent-a-pound ham: i will pay any price to never eat ham again

Fun fact: magnolia flowers are edible and they taste like ginger

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Our entire political moment can be summarized in this 15 second clip from “Review”

Free them all.

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.

I'm not good at budgeting, is $2.5 trillion a lot?

Gonna repost what I told Politico day after the election. The problem Democrats and liberals face was never their policies, or that they'd lost touch with kitchen-table Americans, but that there's a rage machine the other side can flip on or off at will. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

“According to the American Immigration Council, ‘in 2023, households led by undoc immigrants paid $89.8B in total taxes. This includes $33.9B in state & local taxes & $55.8B in federal taxes.’” “With the IRS-ICE agreement and mass deportations, Trump, once again, shoots the US economy in the foot.”

Segregated Science is Mediocre Science But the Trump Admin is moving to make it as mediocre as possible -- "Six percent of White males who serve on [nih review] boards were fired, compared with half of Black and Hispanic females and a quarter of all females," www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

If this is really the reason, American tax payers are paying someone to dig through fishing license violations from 6 years ago.

One lesson of the Trump years is to literally never back down on anything, ever. Post-mortems? Never heard of them, just double, triple, quintuple down on your brand. It unironically worked wonders for Trump!

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him. Now, his visa is being revoked. Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe. www.deseret.com/utah/2025/04...

If authoritarian rule lasts a decade, Harvard has bigger problems.

VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system) is already biased towards allowing non-plausible injuries to be reporters. The biggest issue is that 2 big categories do NOT get reported: -people who got a vaccine and were fine -people who did not get a vaccine but experienced a rare health event

In terminating hundreds of NIH grants, the Trump administration dumped years of investment down the drain. In my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com column, we analyzed the cancelled projects & talked to scientists to understand just how much the public loses out. It's a lot: tinyurl.com/bdey86su

they’re doing that thing where a new coach discovers his NFL team has a ping-pong table in the locker room and orders it removed to build a winning culture focused on football and all the players resent it and he gets fired after 3 sub-.500 seasons, but for The Army

He knows he can’t get away with yanking all the vaccines, so he’s going to use lawsuits to get the manufacturers to do it themselves

Four years of pretending Biden’s economy was as bad as Trump has made ours in four months.

u would think this might be a good question for those “we interviewed regular americans in this typical diner…” pieces they love to run

They're not fascists, they just think we're in a state of exception due to the pollution of the polity and citizen body by undesirable racial elements whose removal is of such paramount importance that it transcends the dictates of the law, justified by their embodiment of the Will of the People.

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

🚨Students are protesting today at Oregon State University after 13 International students had their visas revoked by the Dept. of Homeland Security. More info on visa revocations at Oregon universities here: www.opb.org/article/2025... 📹 shared w/ me by an OSU student

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

My take on the “we need to hear more right wing opinions” thing is the people saying it believes that everyone is as right wing as they are but they just don’t say it because they’re afraid people will get mad, but if we hit a saturation point everyone will suddenly drop the mask and agree with them

If you're keeping track of the long list of things this admin's done that flies in the face of MAHA, censoring and ultimately losing the top intramural nutrition scientist studying food processing and health is definitely towards the top.

This is so vile. "Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic"

Advocate [Mar 28] -- Lake City FL Walmart fires 7-year employee w/ spotless record who tutors special needs kids in spare time after a male customer attacks her for being trans because she is 6' 4" tall. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social [HT @denisenorris.bsky.social]

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.
