Goodnight everyone

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

Any questions? www.rawstory.com/book-censors...

Please, God, can we start to proselytize for the notion of commonwealth; that there are things we can do—important things—collectively, that none of us could do individually. Libraries, transit systems, ball parks are all examples. Our ideology needs to engage their notion of aloof individualism.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Casar: At the end of the day, they believe you pay taxes to make them and their friends richer. They believe you should work longer hours for less pay—again, to make them and their friends richer. And maybe they can even squeeze in a little insider stock trading on the side.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

AMEN! 👇

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

When you realize how bad police clearance rates on solving crimes is, it was always so obvious that “we are going to deport criminals” was a lie. They are evil and quota-driven, so they harass easy targets.

How academics imagine their lives would look like if they decide to work in tech

The first original short I made with these art bros, which was actually a project for myself to make a quick casual film entirely in Blender, which we all know is a FREE software! This was also my first project to let loose and be an idiot, something I haven't done in forever!

If you can't prove your citizenship well enough to to vote... ...then you can't prove your citizenship well enough to keep from being deported to a South American prison.

A cavernous area fit for a dragon. 🐉 #NASAWebb revealed more than 200 massive, young stars among the pillars of gas and dust in star-forming region NGC 604. This area is more than 2.7 million light-years from Earth in the Triangulum galaxy: bit.ly/4icfWLh 🔭 🧪

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

Going to be remarkable to see the speed with which the rest of the world figures out how to get by without the United States.

If people had just voted for Gore, Obama, Hillary, and Harris, we’d be light years ahead of where we are.

NEW: NOAA scientists are cleaning office bathrooms and reconsidering critical experiments after the Commerce Department failed to renew contracts for hazardous waste disposal, janitorial services, IT and building maintenance. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

To Senate Dems: NO VOTES FOR FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINEES OR BILLS, NO UNANIMOUS CONSENTS ON ANYTHING

Clearly, DEI was the duct tape holding America together.

Dems in Congress, universities, Big Law, corporations who keep trying appeasement hoping it will work: you fuckers had better think about how that will work out for you in the post-Tr*mp era, bc we will not forget who capitulated and who held the line.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Donald Fucking Trump did on J6!

The dollar crashing is great news for all of us Brits who've found the US unaffordable since Brexit, except when we try to visit we're going to be turned away at the border because we liked a tweet saying slavery was bad

Every one of Trump’s actions from crashing the economy to silencing dissent must be tied to the GOP— not just Trump.

The problem with forcing countries to create a new world without you is that once they've done so, they aren't going back

Hats off to Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills. Unlike too many others, she refuses to bow to Trump. “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness,”. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

Just heard a woman respond to a reporter listing all the qualifiers for when abortion should be “allowed.” She let him finish, then said: “Understand this. I have no qualifiers. This decision is between a woman, and her doctors. That’s it. That’s all.”

Well said, and the truth hurts like hell…

The Republican assault on democracy is one of the worst crises in U.S. history. So why won’t the media say directly that Trump is trying to become a dictator? Why the soft, incremental coverage? It’s as if an asteroid hurtled toward Earth and the media focused on the process of naming the asteroid.

If it weren't for the tariffs, this would be one of the biggest stories right now.

This right here. This is exactly it.

I was told these people were “free speech absolutists”

Primary anyone who voted for the SAVE Act.
