Musk is a horrific and evil man. It is worth remembering that there's significant evidence suggesting that Trump spent the bulk of his life sexually harassing, assaulting, or raping any woman who got close to him.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Today's quick update [Apr 15]: - On the second anniversary of the war, RSF shelling resumes on both Zamzam and Abushok IDP camps in Elfashir. - A number of civilians reported injured in Abushok, including children. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The New York Times has obtained the autopsies of the Palestinian medics massacred by the Israeli occupation army. They show that some were shot point blank in the skull.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

People are pushing back even in the deepest red districts possible

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

i can't believe this is real but it is

This is profoundly, the most disturbing story I've ever read. Elon Musk believes his children are a legion and he needs to make as many babies as possible before the apocalypse. He has a breeding fetish mixed with a messianic doomsday cult obsession. archive.ph/H7U2a

All those years of “nerdprom” vanity, and the WHCA appears to have evaporated without a fight.

WATCH: Sen. Van Hollen says he’s headed to El Salvador tomorrow morning to seek the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—and to hopefully visit him in prison. "I promised his wife and his family that I would do everything I could 24/7 to try to bring him home. And that's why I am going to El Salvador."

The truth must be told: The only way Israel can survive as a democracy and not as a pariah state is through an immediate cease-fire, hostage release deal and diplomatic negotiations that will ultimately lead to a Palestinian state @haaretzcom.bsky.social Editorial www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Damn this story is wild. This is the guy controlling your personal data

This is the way. The NY press is in the tank for Cuomo. If we wanna beat this bum, it's up to us spreading the word as individuals. Spread the word, friends. Don't rank Cuomo at all on your ballot.

Jesus Christ. He is disgusting.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

The "Jackie Robinson Day background" section of MLB's official press release about Jackie Robinson just notes that he was a first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers who debuted in 1947. Nothing about the how, the why.

today in "Roman salute" news

time to bring out this all time banger again

People should probably get rid of their ring cameras

I wrote for @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social about how France is trying to repress my comrade Anasse Kazib, union activist and former presidential candidate, for social media posts in solidarity with Palestine. This is part of a larger trend of repression! www.counterpunch.org/2025/04/10/f...

We are Post-coup. Just no one wants to admit.

sincerely wondering: do they show this shit on the national news?

what the fuck

My colleagues spoke to the wife of the man whose dead body was sexually violated on the R train. Her teen son was in the room when NYPD told her what happened over speakerphone. “I didn’t realize that’s what they were going to tell me — until it was too late.” www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/15/c...

Abt 20 years ago, a MAGA family member complained to me at length abt how ADA building rules were govt overreach. Several years, after aging a bit & suffering a leg injury, we were at a baseball stadium & he complained they didn't have more escalators to accommodate ppl w/ difficulty walking.

ASAP Rocky Covers American Vogue May 2025 'The Met Issue'

really striking to me how surprised most libs seem to be that an evangelical capture of the fedl govt involves gutting science and the university

This is what I was talking about before - the WH has been letting in more softball MAGA reporters who just want to help them advance their message. And it no longer publishes transcripts so to see how lazy and easy the Qs are you need to strap in and watch.

Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas, Texas, was on lockdown after a "shooting incident" wounded a 17-year-old in the leg. This comes one day after state lawmakers heard bills that could allow 18 year olds to carry loaded guns in schools.

No malice, no anger. It's like a fisherman having a good chuckle over what a good fight a bass gave him. That is a smile that doesn't go away when someone receives orders to kill. That's the smile you get working your dream job.

ATTN: Austin folks I am looking for recs for a great local veterinary oncologist. We've just learned that the lump our regular vet removed from Fizz T. Doge's leg last week is a grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma. She's recovering well (thx to all who rec'd pajamas instead of the cone of shame) for now!

Trump is Quietly Building a Deportation Army out of State and Local Agencies Enrollment in the 287(g) program, which deputizes local police to do federal immigration enforcement, has exploded in recent weeks. austinkocher.substack.com/p/trump-is-q...

to be ruthlessly realpolitik, if this happens I do not think we have to wait until 2028 to kick trump out of the white house.

I know — people will say “defund the police” was “a bad slogan” and “unpopular” but I disagree. It’s a long argument why I disagree, but one day I’ll write it.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.
