oh hey welcome to your trial, blackshirts

Music to protest by. Here's people singing my fave YG/Nipsey Hussle song: DJT Fuck Donald Trump

The USA is running out of patience with Ukraine for being bombed by Russia.

trump is such an amazing businessman and negotiator that his tariffs have convinced China to stop importing all beef and soybeans from the USA costing U.S. famers $ billions. Instead, China will import beef from Australia and soybeans from Brazil. Oh, I just can't take all of this winning. 🙄

The PayPal mafia have South African apartheid roots. @jamellebouie.net

In Bloomberg CityLab, I explained why cities must build cycling *networks* – not just lanes. It’s a lesson that many elected leaders have yet to learn (esp Ontario’s Doug Ford, who is taking a sledgehammer to Toronto's cycling network). 🧵

Protest gcide. It’s a crime. Sh00t up a school. It’s a shame.

This Administration is trying to erase a human being. Don't allow it. We are all connected.

people who say change takes time are full of it imo. when i was born the berlin wall had been up for 16 years. growing up it just felt like it would be around forever. a month before my 12th birthday it fell and germany unified. change requires a good, quick shove.

Another #ExxonMobil attack on our world and the people trying to protect it. @katharinehayhoe.com

Destroy DOGE, undo every bit of its work, and render every DOGE employee unemployable in their professional field for life. End their careers and shame them in every way we can. And make them see that we fixed the government and everything they did was for naught.

Why did American institutions fail so profoundly to hold a president accountable when other democracies routinely do? Far from normal democratic practice, it's an exceptional failure US elites and institutions. This thread and article digs into why the US system failed where others didn't: 🧵

If you have a sizable platform and got Trump Term 2 wrong, and you acknowledge that you wrongly downplayed or dismissed concern in advance, but you don't follow that up with "so I'll be bringing on guests who were right about this to talk about where we are and where it's going," what's the point.

Holy shit. This is the funniest political ad I’ve ever seen. The Republican House Caucus wants it taken down. You know what to do.

this is worth sharing on Facebook, etc.. It’s dumbed down enough I think.

Duke energy + Utility Comm. raised rates in Jan. avg. $19/ customer. New hearing T Apr 17 1-4pm Monroe Convention Ctr to up rates more + build 2 more gas powered plants. Come out and let them know we want healthier and less expensive forms of energy. @bloomingtonindiana.bsky.social #wfhb

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

How to fight the information war:

Government thugs. There must be an accounting for everyone who participated in these acts of evil when this is all over.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

The argument in a nutshell.

to all who celebrate...

It’s the stupid, economy.

This is brilliant and on point. This is exactly it - the Democrats who will internalize these points and lead accordingly will emerge as the real leaders for the time we live in www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

Economic policy right now is being driven by the online right-wing consensus that being a scientist working at a university is really gay, and being a poor person breaking your body every day for poverty wages is masculine, so society will get better if we replace the former with the latter

The Trump DOJ is preparing to end federal oversight of police departments responsible for: -- the "goon squad" in Rankin, MS, where officers routinely tortured people -- habitual and illegal strip searches in Mt. Vernon, NY -- the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Tyre Nichols, Ronald Greene & George Floyd

Thank you to Indiana Public Media for picking up what I was laying down - they led with the key quote, "We have the right to know what our government is up to." indianapublicmedia.org/news/stanfor...

theyre eating the stocks. they're eating the profits.

At least according to the movie “Ferris Buelers Day Off” the tariffs threw us deeper into the depression: m.youtube.com/watch?v=yuOH...

Come on Indiana show some class and vote this arrogant POS out of office....Senator Jim Banks, the real clown who needs to lose his job. youtu.be/vTj6gQMbFCM?...

Everyone is rightly excited about the Wisconsin race, but don't sleep on what happened at the Naperville (Illinois) City Council. The fate of a giant, polluting coal plant was on the line. An anti-coal majority was elected & the plant will shut down on schedule! 🎉 www.dailyherald.com/20250401/loc...

Why is Indiana's new senator SO embarrassing?

Well well well, I guess Wisconsin agreed on the message for old Elon: “F’ off!”

Honey bees are domesticated animals introduced from Europe — and aren't endangered, unlike many of North America's over 3600 species of native bees. Honey bees crowd out native bees from food & spread diseases to them. Instead of adding another hive, plant native flowers! xerces.org/blog/want-to...

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
