Please submit feedback to Ford’s Bill 5 which reduces protection for endangered species. Don’t know what to say? @ladysarahmc.bsky.social has posted a sample comment in the comments below

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

US has pushed some nations facing tariffs imposed by Trump to approve Musk's Starlink, WaPo reported on Wednesday, citing State Dep cables. The cables show how US embassies and the dep pushed countries to clear hurdles for satellite companies, often mentioning Starlink by name, the Post reported.

On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory My latest @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/05/05/i...

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Hey news people, do you think you could offer maybe some headlines about TRUMP TRYING TO REPEAL THE CORE OF THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT?

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Proving once again that Lululemon is a scourge.

"I haven't followed Canadian politics closely, but when a politician talks of limiting free press, activities at universities & defying the courts, it's the canary in a coal mine for autocracy" - Harvard University Professor when asked his opinion on Pierre Poilievre. #Canada #cdnpoli #elxn45

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

former sergeant, received misdemeanor in 2007 after kicking in door of apartment he shared with girlfriend & threatening to kill himself with revolver. He was fired from Milwaukee, Wis, police depart in 2012 after drunkenly crashed into house & also being investigated for falsely claiming overtime.

The Stop Harper years were when I started getting seriously into politics, it was awful, we must not allow pp to harm us in the same ways. He'll do much worse. #cdnpoli

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

The US isn’t even pretending anymore

We used to mock Russian propagandists with exactly this profile.

even if we throw these people out of power the enduring legacy of Trump is that nobody can ever again trust the US government to keep a promise, and that will come back to bite us over and over again what a shameful thing this is

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

NEW: Here's a photo posted in 2018 apparently of Joe Kent, Trump's pick to head the National Counterterrorism Center, from the Instagram feed of a family member, showing he had the word "PANZER" tattooed on his arm. Why? I asked him, the NCTC, and the ODNI, and, so far, no response.

Opinion | I like fascism. I also like my 401(k). I have never felt more politically homeless.

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

Illegal attempts to access IRS data was an article of impeachment against Nixon.

still relevant. you don’t know what’s going to happen

But is anyone surprised the guy who deflated his colleague’s tires so he could drive her home is terrified of talking to HR and lawyers?

roberts et al have divined the Actual Intent of the constitution, which is to allow the government to exercise nearly unaccountable power to strip people of their rights. it is why we fought the revolution!

Trump refuses to introduce Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla. No man has ever been this small.

Incredible ad in Union Station in DC.

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

Cecilia Vega: You're saying that there are Venezuelans who very well may have no gang ties that are right now in one of the hardest of hardcore prisons in the world that may never get out, they may never see the light of day again. Lee Gelernt: That's what I'm saying.

211 dead journalists in Gaza These are my colleagues, my comrades in storytelling, the very best of our profession being burned alive in front of the whole fucking world My heart can’t fucking take it

Trump take sex

Catching up on a few things I haven’t had a chance to clip yet — did you know Poilievre, speaking in French, called UNWRA terrorists and said he’d stop giving any funding to them???? Absolutely horrifying position given UNWRA’s integral role in providing humanitarian aid to the region.

This is the endless pattern of Republicans causing a recession and Democrats bailing us out -- and then Dems get blamed because they inherit a crap economy and are doing catch-up their whole term. And the voting public doesn't have the common sense to break the circle.

CBC reporting CPC staffers are screening reporter questions before they choose who asks Poilievre. He already won't take follow ups, won't let the travel with the campaign, now they selecting the topics journalists can ask. This is outrageous, further proof his ideas can't take scrutiny. #cdnpoli

absolute soviet-level failure here www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/d...

“At 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to. That means no more mortgages or new real estate devt, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function and capitalism ceases to be viable.”

I was going to get the train today. But I am increasingly concerned at the deficit I’m running with Great Northern Rail. I buy a lot from them and they purchase nothing from me. Tempted to apply a 20% tariff. Sure my tickets will cost 20% more but it might mean I buy fewer and reduce the deficit.

incredible website lmfao

No matter which state you live in, Trump’s dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau affects your ability to be protected from scams. We want to understand the fallout that comes with gutting the government’s consumer watchdog. Here’s how you can help us report: propub.li/43EycsC

Fox removed the stock market ticker from their broadcasts.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction
