Palestinian photog Fatima Hassouna killed in an Israeli air strike with nine family members 24 hours after the announcement that a documentary about her work in Gaza would premiere at Cannes. deadline.com/2025/04/gaza...

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

A reminder to reporters: Because Trump tariff numbers are made-up nonsense, using the phrase “reciprocal tariffs” is lying to your audience. The phrase itself is propaganda. They are not reciprocal.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

Talk of firing or resigning is one thing. But if they were regular employees, they would face investigation & prosecution. No reason their principals, people who hold security clearances, shouldn’t. Or is the legacy of the “but her emails” guy going to be nat’l security no longer matters?

If you're quietly uncomfortable with all the brown women being deported, but vocally outraged about Jasmine Mooney, you have things to examine. She had the same visa the others had - which is none. Visa was denied and a prior temp visa revoked. She was trying to talk her way through with whiteness.

So on brand for these people. Never trust anyone who doesn’t love dogs.

Trump: "I invaded Los Angeles and we opened up the water and the water is now flowing down. They have so much water they don't know what to do ... we broke in to do it."

Dopey me, I actually thought someone might have told him about how angry California farmers were about this pointless and harmful stunt, and assumed he wouldn't mention it again.

The acting head of the government’s human resources arm, Charles Ezell, is refusing to testify in tomorrow’s case that challenges the legality of the recent mass firings of federal workers. His absence raises serious questions—what is there to hide?

“White House officials took the unusual step of ordering a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too intrusive, sources said” It’s a fucking background check. It’s SUPPOSED to be invasive.

A scientist loses funding for her research on vaccines during pregnancy due to a new NIH policy that bans all studies broadly related to "vaccine uptake."

Clearly there is still too much diversity and inclusion at SpaceX.

Isn't this some kind of leading indicator?

Lede o' the Day "For the second time in weeks, a Canadian icon has emerged as the unlikely victor in an existential battle on the ice." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The idea the president alone can levy taxes on a whim and spend it as he pleases without any congressional approval is the kind of thing so beyond the pale it's not unconstitutional, it's anti-constitutional. It is overturning in starkest terms the central rallying cry of the American Revolution.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Oh FFS. Tomorrow might be a sick day, because this is driving me to drink.

Do I really have to endure this until Jed the farmer in Kansas finally cares that he's being sacrificed on a white Supremacist altar he helped construct? We have to wait for this venal charlatan's zombie mob gain consciousness and vote properly? Jesus. Are there jobs in Canada?
