Registries for pregnant women and children with autism, but no registry for guns?

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

Democratic Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding for the next 400 YEARS in Wisconsin by crossing out a few numbers in a bill to change it from “2024–25” to “2425.” The state Supreme Court just upheld his right to do so.

When I was young, there were <1,000 bald eagles in the lower 48 due to DDT, hunting, and habitat loss, and we never saw one the whole time roaming the prairies and mountains of SD. Today, there are 70,000+ and I see them daily. Governments can and should effect positive change.

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name." -- John Stuart Mill (1867)

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later. Nothing to see here.

Now this…is not good.

The problem is sociopathic corporate greed. 🧐

YES!!!!! SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!

Omg you guys. This made me cry. I'd seen pics of Salt Lake City and Missoula but so many vids of all these red areas. youtu.be/oUkxY2MZBl0?... I just talked with someone in Pensacola who was shocked and proud that there was one there.

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

We can surrender to the forces of autocracy, bigotry, xenophobia, and minoritarian rule. Or we can organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. We choose to organize: indivisible.org/groups

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

You know what to do

It amazes me the lack of coverage! I watched Jan 6th covered from end to end, where are they now???

Thailand, which was hit with tariffs of 36%, has said its exporters should seek new markets, adding that it had prepared “mitigation measures” to support those who rely mainly on the US. This is the right response - diversify, decouple from the US. #r4today

Again.

A good day to, coincidentally, be wearing Levi’s.

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.
