I'd just like to acknowledge that, because of the reverse chronological nature of feeds (aka "read the jokes first"), *this* is how I heard the news.

My pal @berniemcginn.bsky.social is auctioning off this beautiful and exceedingly rare skateboard deck with Kurt Cobain on it to raise money to help his friend fight cancer. Already way past my $ threshold, but maybe you're in. www.ebay.com/itm/25689965...

I’m seeing a lot of people making fun of their incompetence for this, but that’s not what this is. This whole regime is a gang of bullies, headed by a bully, and like all bullies, they’re cowards. Stand up to them, and they whimper away.

That actually makes a lot more sense

What the shit

So basically one camp still believes in due process and we should fight now before it's too late, and the other thinks they can win elections by ignoring it and then fix due process later? Got it. I'm in the first camp.

Really big news: Sen Van Hollen manages to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Looks like Bukele gave in to pressure and released him for the meeting.

Right because they are not running for re-election. I don’t know how else to say this. They. Aren’t. Running. For. Reelection.

Good general advice?

Oh no @lifewinning.com

We have 11 months to figure out how to make sure this doesn’t happen again. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

Eight women mistakenly deported to El Salvador were brought back the US. They can bring back Abrego Garcia.

No more CVEs assigned from the source? The downstream consequences of a pause will leave us drowning in bugs of many other names, & we won’t spontaneously sprout gills. We really don’t have time for this.

The whole notion that the only point of doing something is to arrive at the end product is low-key poisoning our entire society in ways with which I don’t think we’ve even begun to reckon

Big Journalism is still doing stenography instead of showing the reality of the Trump regime's headlong race into fascism. At TechDirt, @mmasnick shows how journalism could work if it located a spine. www.techdirt.com/202... 1/2

Part of me really can't process what absolute monsters these people are. Like my brain is trying to save itself by not understanding it.

How many days of "Wait, it gets worse" can we take until we break? And what then?

passover starts at sundown, and for those who are unfamiliar, it’s a holiday that centers around surviving under the weight of oppression. we reflect on our survival of genocide, our struggles as refugees, and our takeaway is supposed to be that we have a duty to stand with the oppressed, always.

Oh. Ohhhhhhh.

the muppets in famous works of art: thread

it's wild that today ICE was just like, "we're the thought police" unironically

This piece of garlic is right there with you

We might really need to start from scratch here.

Are you better off now than you were four hours ago?

ICMYI: reported protests in the US in 2025 are almost certainly outpacing protests during Trump 1.0. In March 2025, we recorded significant growth in the number of cumulative events, and also an uptick in the rate of events (# of protests/week).
