Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

JD Vance just broke apart the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy on live television.

Trump is refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to do so. This is a constitutional crisis. How can it not meet the threshold for articles of impeachment?

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

BREAKING: House Democrats like AOC and Mike Levin just sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson, asking that politicians be required to immediately disclose stock trades made around the tariff announcements.

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

I’m at the NYC anti-Trump protest, where thousands upon thousands of people have shown up in the cold rain. I can’t see the start or end of the crowd.

This is the America I know

“Imagine if I had done any of this.” — former president Obama, at Hamilton College this week

Ruh roh. Karen isn’t getting her new Range Rover. Shit just got real.

BREAKING: Mexico reports its first human case of H5N1 bird flu, source unknown. The patient - a 3-year-old girl from Durango - is in serious condition.

Narrator: "It did not make them rich."

Professors who study authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/03...

The breach left military and intelligence experts asking the same questions as the public: Why would top U.S. officials use a free messaging app to discuss classified military plans?

This disease was eradicated before the moron brigade showed up

If a friend from abroad asked me about traveling to the US right now, I world advise against it. That’s where we are as a society two months in to Trump 2.0.

Kamala was right about everything

If my greatest contribution to society is to be the medical frontline - correcting RFK’s nonsense at every step - then I will do it. For the vast majority, measles vaccination confers lifelong protection. This isn’t complicated or debated.

Reminder: actions have consequences.

This is the America we all know and respect

What’s the point of booing when the WWE has already lined their pockets with their money?

Wtf is seriously going on in America right now?

From Rachel Cohen at Vox on twitter: this video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet is playing in the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development cafeteria this morning (per source at HUD)

Fitting

Yosemite National Park workers hang distress flag to protest Trump and Musk coming for their jobs.

Todays hero

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Give it time

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Red state alcohol is currently being removed at B.C. Liquor store in Victoria. #bcpoli

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

BREAKING: Canada has said it has a detailed retaliation plan to the U.S. tariffs that will seek to hurt Republican states the most, per NYT.
