Limiting or banning insurance coverage of IUDs and emergency contraception is a prerequisite to banning their use. Conservatives did this with abortion and are doing it with gender-affirming care

A coalition of Jewish groups warns that the Trump administration stripping international students of visas under the guise of fighting antisemitism actually makes Jews less safe and undermines the rule of law.

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

News is awful Post Godzilla

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

Also very strange - I haven’t read a lot of statement from elected and/or political elites today expressing concern about anti semitism today. Wonder why?

3 facts that should drive the news: 1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud. 2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities. 3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

i think i am going to be f**king sick to my stomach: someone appears to have tried to burn down gov josh shapiro’s house on passover

On April 10, 1925, a young writer published his 3rd novel – a commercial & critical disappointment about a man passing for white 100 years later, Pulitzer Prize-winner Wesley Lowery reveals the secret hidden inside a piece of America's literary canon... And how "The Great Gatsby" became white

I cannot stress enough that it is possible to govern well, and to do so in a manner that is broadly accretive.

Peter Pestilence let the mask slip a lil but huh

The State Department is asking employees to report any "anti-Christian bias" they experienced during theBiden administration, Politico reports and I've independently confirmed. www.politico.com/news/2025/04... Images of the snitch portal they set up that were shared with me:

It has nothing to do with antisemitism. That’s a cover—for whatever the heck they want to do. And using Jews as a partisan ploy? THAT’S antisemitic.

Used car prices *had* been falling. And then Trump announced fat car tariffs. CarGurus data shows almost every brand (with notable exception of Tesla) seeing higher prices on used cars in last 30 days: www.cargurus.com/research/pri...

Once again, in a functioning democracy -- and more to the point, with a media working as it should! -- this would be a huge, epic, what-the-fuck scandal.

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York. But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Inside you are two wolves

In September they wanted to send Joe Brandon to the Hague because a Denny's Grand Slam was going to cost an extra dollar and now right wing influencers are like "the pursuit of filthy lucre will never make you happy"

The DC Council is investigating the DOGE invasion of the U.S. Institute of Peace on March 17th. The DC Chief of Police has begrudgingly admitted DC MPD were called by USIP personnel at 2:59 PM, an hour before Ed Martin rang them up to help the DOGE attack.

A particularly apt poem for today's madness...

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Not just parroting, not saying something similar, directly quoting.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.

RIP Val Kilmer: Celebrating cult classic Real Genius is now a moral imperative. The ’80s comedy has stood the test of time, even inspiring a 2009 Mythbusters episode. arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

BREAKING: Appeals court rejects the Trump administration's request to immediately enforce its anti-trans military ban. The Ninth Circuit panel just denied DOJ's request for an administrative stay of last week's ruling agains the ban. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Tariffs get all the attention, but ask economists what they're really worried about and many will point to the Trump administration's cuts to federal support for the sciences, including canceling grants and revoking student visas. #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/b...

Hell of a closer. "Although much of the administration’s focus has been on what it sees as endemic antisemitism on American campuses, it also paused about $175 million in funding for the University of Pennsylvania because it had allowed a transgender woman onto its women’s swim team in 2022."

Protect trans kids. Message will repeat.

Not surprising but absolutely wild to go on stage and blame bad things on a nefarious billionaire who is pulling on the puppet strings of politics while you are the richest man in the world who is on stage because he's spending millions trying to influence an election!
