NEW: California’s suing Trump over his reckless tariffs. He’s abusing emergency powers meant for real crises — not slapping tariffs on allies over fake “threats.” It’s about time. His tariff bullying is hurting California businesses, spiking prices, and dragging the economy down with him.

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

We’re not living through a “wow this is a bad administration” moment. It’s a “there may not be another administration” moment. It’s not just politics.

Some would say "sneaky tactic" others would observe that odometer fraud is a federal felony. A creative prosecutor could probably tack on some conspiracy and mail or wire fraud charges too.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

A walk on the wild side today here in Glastonbury. A bit stormy but hardly any rain when I was out so very refreshing.

Not a single American voted for this but also: they’re not hiding their fascism, are they?

Russian Telegram channels report a massive drone attack on the city of Shuya in Russia's Ivanovo region. According to "Z-bloggers", the 112th Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces was attacked, which carried out a strike on the center of Sumy on Palm Sunday with Iskander-M ballistic missiles.

Trump is targeting Andrew Weissman, Letitia James, and Adam Schiff; the list is long. They tried to hold him accountable. He hates them for that. Guess who he isn't targeting? Merrick Garland. This is an undeniable deviation from Trump's behavioral patterns. I have a hunch why.

You are a hypocrite if you are celebrating Christ this weekend while cheering for a Tyrant… You just are.

Don’t let them fool you.

Good morning, Bluesky friends. Happy Wednesday! ✌️💙🌞 Midweek arrives and we're still moving forward — a reminder that hope, like the dawn, always returns. You carry more light than you know; let it shine like the sun. "Once you choose hope, anything’s possible." - Christopher Reeve (1952 - 2004)

Donors have been donating blood in Kharkiv, responding to the call to help Sumy, where many people have been injured after the Russian ballistic missile strike. There are lines at the regional blood service center.

So are Supreme Court rulings irrelevant now? (Asking for Roe v. Wade.)

So happy my family is fully vaccinated because we believe in science and we are not idiots. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Another day and the number of kidnappings and disappearings perpetrated by Trump and his Stasi continues to rise: 1523 and counting. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

So, we're less than 90 days into this shit show and: - Grocery prices still high - Trillions in wealth lost because of dumb tariffs - People being snatched off the street and disappeared - Ukraine war still going - Thousands of veterans fired But at least they made trans people feel shitty, right?

Starlink is another way of saying "Directly to Russia".

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four. That’s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time. fortune.com/2025/04/04/l...

We need to make Trump supporters pariahs. They should not be welcomed anywhere decent people gather.

All the Trump voters who will never see the light of day through their cups of Kool-Aid can get bent. The ones who have come to their senses are more than welcome to join the resistance.

This is great.

Under pressure from DOGE, nearly all the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning over the coming month. The resignations will effectively shut down the decade-old program after the end of April.

If I'm being completely honest, I think that as long as you don't have a criminal history, you should be able to immigrate to America by just coming over here. That's literally how it used to be. That's literally how we made America great in the first place. Do it again.

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court. But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long. Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

Hey Night Owl 🦉 Raise your hand if you agree Trump should be sent to an El Salvadorian prison.🤚🏾 Repost 🔄 #BlueCrew #FuckTrump

Gonzalez: Are you on the side.. that sends them to foreign prisons without due process? No. I’m on the side of the fucking constitution

Every law firm that refused to cave to Trump and instead fought him in court - won!! They all won!

My “spidey-sense” is saying we should keep our eyes on this. www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

EXACTLY HOW YOU MEET THIS MOMENT!!!!!!!

Reuters: JUDGE TEMPORARILY BLOCKS MOST OF TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER AGAINST LAW FIRM SUSMAN GODFREY - COURT HEARING

Not sure who needs to hear this, but if you have to TASER your constituents in order to hold a town hall, you might be a fascist.

I've known her since joining Bsky. Kinley-Brenda has always high energy and positive attitude. Let's congratulate the pretty lady on achieving 80K followers milestone. Let's party
