IRS commissioner appointed by Elon without Trump’s knowledge, attacks on Yemen launched on Stephen Miller’s interpretation of Trump’s mumblings, tariff decisions reversed by conniving to be the last voice Trump hears & now this. There is nobody home in Trump’s head. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

This is not normal. This government gets closer and closer every day to declaring war on its own people. This post is a clear and direct statement of intention to defy the Supreme Court and end rule of law in the United States.

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone. Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

something like 75% of the people on that plane were proven to have absolutely zero criminal records, and they ALSO have House reps, and those House reps have offices to picket and phone lines to tie up "So-and-So just did ____, why can't YOU do that???" is a pretty good attack in these cases!

"the bigger picture here: that designated public-access repository is no longer needed, because it is assumed that the NEH will no longer be funding research, and thus there will be no results of research to make publicly accessible"

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.

This is happening exactly as the US is trying to persuade the UK (and EU) that its food meets their standards and they should import a lot more of it.

also a happy 43rd birthday to the Notwithstanding Clause, the part of the Charter that right-wing politicians can use to ignore literally any part of the Charter and which they demanded to have in case the government ever made them respect civil rights they really didn't wanna respect

My D&D group was shopping for magic items, and I told them "they don't have anything rarer than rare." I caught a gleam in one of my player's eyes, and I said, "What's rarer than being rare?" To which they unanimously replied, "ICE RARE!"

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

Pennies are essentially worthless. But if I stole 7 billion of them from Mark Zuckerberg, I think he’d call that theft. If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in busiess — you’re in organized crime.

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

I got busy with semester things & didn’t finish our edition of the 14th Amendment, but as @rezekjoe.bsky.social told me “The 14th amendment will be as urgent as ever over the next long long while” A print from @transbookhistory.bsky.social inspired me to try a basic cardstock & I dig it

The right craves "The Day of the Rope," and have for years - because they fantasize about having power, not any of the work that using it even for evil ends by definition requires. Part of their fantasy is that problems are simple, and that wielding power is easy.

Awesome! Who's going to enforce it? If the courts don't matter, nothing does. We have no Judicial Branch, we have no democracy. It's almost like elections have consequences, especially after the Supreme Court granted him total immunity.

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you are a writer and you are facing a deadline that you're having trouble hitting -- just tell your editor. They can work with you. You are on the same team. Things they can help with. 1. Moving the deadline 2. Contingency planning. 3. Decision making.
