Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.” x.com/nayibbukele/...

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk. (They are not complimentary)

"The proposal....says it would target 'criminal illegal aliens' and would attempt to avoid legal challenges by designating part of the prison — which has drawn accusations of violence and overcrowding from human rights groups — AS AN AMERICAN TERRITORY." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Eugenicists are so stupid.

ICE agents in Highwood IL, today - vid is in comments (split into 3 parts to accomodate time constraint)

Exactly

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

DHS tried sending emails telling immigrants to self-deport. But because many immigrants list their attorneys or people as their point of contact, at least one US citizen got an email saying they had to leave the country or else: www.wired.com/story/homela...

A good article explaining the senseless destuction of one of the US's most critical research institutions www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/o...

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 34 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Cory Booker just spoke to reporters at the Capitol: "I was very aware of Strom Thurmond's record since I've gotten to the Senate. I always thought it was a strange shadow to hang over this institution. ... It always seemed wrong to me." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

Breaking News: Senator Cory Booker’s speech criticizing President Trump has just become the longest speech in recorded Senate history.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

DOGE defunds dogs: No food, shelter, or vet visits for the TSA's bomb sniffing dogs, until further notice.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.

BREAKING: The European Union announced countermeasures — worth about $28 billion — in response to Trump's tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports will start on April.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

I would say that if you're middle aged and not living in Texas, ask your doctor now whether you should get a booster. Don't wait till it gets to your state and there's some rush on vaccines.

This fuck wants us all dead — save for himself. Musk calls on US to quit NATO, stop paying for defense of Europe fortune.com/2025/03/09/m...

“Medical staff along the Uganda–DRC border have been terminated. Soldiers are everywhere. The laboratory built to deal with zoonotic diseases with US funding is empty,” says Tim Allen, a tropical-disease-control expert on the ground.

US aid to Ukraine since Feb 2022 totals $128 billion, mostly older weapons, not cash. The crypto industry is seeking a bailout of $100 billion from the US Treasury. That is cash. Remember that when crypto CEOs accuse anyone else of "grifting." www.cfr.org/article/how-...

“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

✅Measles was declared eliminated in U.S. in 2000 due to the measles vaccine. 📍Today, Mexico has issued a warning to avoid traveling to the U.S. because of measles outbreaks in Texas and 7 other U.S. states.

Apparently, spending $400 million on battery operated trash cans was not seen as government waste or fraud. www.yahoo.com/news/musk-sl...

President Trump has said that the US will “take over” and “own” Gaza as part of a plan to turn the enclave into “the Riviera of the Middle East”

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Elon Musk is telling Germany not to regret the murder of 6M+ Jews.

latest episode is up now. Fun songs for a scary world. Music for the people.

H/t George Conway — it’s perfect 🤣 from Olivia Julianna:

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

I don’t think people understand how devastating the end of net neutrality, and consumer protections around internet connectivity, are going to be. Imagine the situation where you pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services, each with different “exclusives” — but for the Internet itself.

Have you heard this good news? As of January 1, every single one Chicago's 400+ municipal buildings — including 98 fire stations, two international airports, and two of the largest water treatment plants on the planet — is running on 100% renewable energy grist.org/cities/chica...

Elon is going to war with the encyclopedia

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Do this to spite the worlds richest man
