What a day. What a country! 💪

This seems like a bad idea

Pls don’t repost this or Trump will expode his depends!!

“I would be lying if I said I don’t worry. I do. But as I wrote last month: “Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.” — @marcelias.bsky.social (4/5/25). Me too, Marc. In solidarity, LHT

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

The @financialtimes.com is not mincing words "America’s astonishing act of self-harm" on.ft.com/3YjtOLV

Thursday’s Great News That’s Terrible for Musk and Trump is here! Read it:

Fiji Water is produced, imported, marketed and sold by an American company. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiji_Wa...

"Fight the authoritarians on everything. If the stock market drops, scream about it. Because it’s their fault. When a kid dies of measles—their fault. Attack them every day, on whatever the latest thing is. Turn 'flood the zone' against them."

Elon’s Downfall

Senator Booker is still going strong! 15 hours and counting!

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

New: RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist In his resignation letter, Marks rebuked Kennedy for seeking “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies” about vaccines. wapo.st/4hQn8fm

“Well, they lied. Obviously ... They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.” Pete Buttigieg

A top vaccine advisor at the FDA was forced to resign on Friday. In his resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks, wrote "truth and transparency are not desired," by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The government’s incompetence is leading to horrific acts of cruelty.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Why were these people confirmed in the first place? There is a cancer on the heart of the presidency, to quote from the Watergate era, and it’s infecting all of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-will-...

Brad Schimel is crazy. Vote Susan Crawford, Wisconsin. youtu.be/C9d9X7IdhwA

Hegseth sent operational details - very closely held. He and Gabbard said otherwise to Senate Intel. BOTH must resign immediately. If not, file articles of impeachment.

On the left: Hegseth's message. On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions. This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level. They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Tell Congress: Publicly demand the resignation of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Send your messages here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal. You also can be sure this is not the only time.

Occupying Gaza and establishing military rule there would go beyond Israel's stated war goals to end Hamas rule and free hostages captured in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack.

The president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. Nobody can say this is an overreaction or alarmism or "TDS" when this is literally what the administration is doing right now.

Fascism

Columbia University has capitulated to the Trump administration’s demands, setting a dangerous precedent for higher education and democracy. “Resistance is futile. To get along, you have to go along.” Austin Sarat explains.

Their pride, their commitment to never admitting even obvious, provable mistakes is more important than the life of a human being.

Nebraskans voted for Trump over Harris 59.32% to 38.86%. Here’s what that got them.

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get. This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively. I will repeat the facts once more: Russia is a terrorist state. Putin is a war criminal

That would be Professor Hugh Hewitt, Professor of constitutional law at Chapman University. fedsoc.org/contributors...

The fact that the world’s richest man works at the behest of the executive and can buy out the legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined there’s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

They're abducting people for the suspected views of their spouses in the middle of fucking Georgetown

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

NEW: GEO Group, an ICE contractor, has surged in value under President Trump. But despite its soaring fortunes, the for-profit prison company continues to resist having to pay detainees more than $1 a day for cleaning facilities where the government has forced them to live. By @mckenziefunk.com

ALL OF THIS. The attack on DEI is simply a means of inculcating a shorthand for viewing all people of color and women in positions of authority as unqualified and undeserving.

Welcome to the Resistance, Mr. Chief Justice.

“‘I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days.’”

Materials on the Arlington National Cemetery website highlighting the graves of Black and female service members have vanished. The cemetery, which is operated by the Army, said it was working to restore the content. Among the obscured pages was material about civil rights.

FLOOD THE LINES!!!

This story starts connecting the dots between the many ways the Trump admin's moves are *already* disrupting science + research nationwide, from climate to health to econ depts. A real team effort w/weather, health + higher ed reporters @bloomberg.com (gift link): www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

They're going to fucking wreck the university with one of the best hospital systems in the goddam world

Trump and Musk are cutting 80,000 jobs from the VA, including suicide and crisis help. Our veterans answered the call, but now nobody will answer theirs.

WOW. Read this entire affidavit.
