today there was a call with @jasmineforus.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social One thing Crockett said is that local elections are more important now than ever. Because it is our local government that is going to decide whether to comply or stand up. 1/

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Kyle Langford, a 20-something Nick Fuentes acolyte, is running for governor of California on a platform of deporting all male undocumented immigrants and then giving all the females one year to marry a "Californian incel" to avoid deportation.

New — Four international students at Case Western Reserve U in Ohio have had their visas revoked, per an email sent by university president Eric Kaler (and reviewed by me). No further info about the students or their current status was provided. Full email:

Nobody is safe. He was a legal. permanent. resident.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

In the melee, you may have missed it: Rubio is telling State employees to snitch on colleagues for "anti-Christian bias." Said "bias" is defined as not agreeing that right-wing Christians are superior and get to dictate the choices of everyone else. www.salon.com/2025/04/15/m...

Nazi shit. This is literally Nazi shit.

!!!

If they get away with this, all bets are off.

NEW: A Columbia University student was detained by immigration authorities in Vermont during his naturalization interview on Monday in “direct retaliation” for his participation in protests against the Israel-Gaza war, his lawyer says.

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Someone finally doing something. It's certainly not without risk and is deeply appreciated

I feel like “President of the United States suggests he would deport American citizens to prisons in El Salvador” should be fairly big news

Just called both of my representatives and one senator to demand the immediate impeachment and removal of Donald Trump, to cut off the excessive powers of the executive, stop the tariff war, and restore stability to our economy. Call yours or don't complain.

Cory Booker calls for insider trading hearings after Trump’s tariff backtrack. ‘Not to have hearings, not to do any kind of oversight, undermines the faith we have in our government,’ senator says.

Finally!

had i killed a nun, i'd be cautious about going to the heavens

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

RFK's pledge to find "what caused the autism epidemic" in a few short months is a transparent lie, to cover a preordained conclusion. But digging deeper, it gets much worse: it's about justifying a downright sadistic assault on children's health. www.salon.com/2025/04/14/r...

Even if your candidate isnt going to be AOC my bit of advice is this: Pick the candidate you like, not the candidate you think is acceptable to some mythical swathe of the public. Stop playing fantasy political operative and just go with your gut. In both parties that has been the winning way.

Resist! (but only in ways that don’t jeopardize your comfort or disrupt other people’s daily lives. if you’re jeopardizing your comfort or disrupting other people’s lives, you’re resisting wrong!)

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

So, the Trump admin was able to bring astronauts stuck in space back down to earth, but it won’t lift a finger to bring a Maryland dad they “oopsie” imprisoned in a gulag back from El Salvador? Do I have that just about right?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Trump just totally ignored Cheryl Hines at UFC 🤣….love this for her!

whoever did this belongs on Rushmore (via www.paloaltoonline.com/technology/2...)

I need this cow at every Planned Parenthood!

Can we dispense with the fiction that Trump is earnestly trying to bring back American manufacturing now? He's just a pudding brain who is doing this for narcissistic and corruption-based reasons. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-trump-...
