“Nobody in Europe has spent the past week looking at their stock portfolio, wondering if they could still afford to send their kids to university.” “It is a place blessed with walkable cities, long life expectancies and vaccinated kids who do not need to be trained to dodge school shooters.”

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Nebraska Unicameral is once again trying to override the will of the people on medical marijuana. More than two-thirds of Nebraskans voted in favor of the medical marijuana ballot initiative. www.1011now.com/2025/04/15/c...

I've been rewatching The Newsroom and have seen their Blackberries constantly throughout the series. The Minimal phone looked like it had potential but fails to fill that niche. I miss my Blackberry. www.howtogeek.com/minimal-phon...

They are concentration camps, not prison camps.

That’s illegal. FYI. No - Pam Bondi won’t do anything.

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

How's your 401k? Checked mine today and it's down over $15k since Feb. February 2025. When does America get great again?

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

Travel to the U.S. is a no go.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

Trump always seems to give Russia an excuse. Dictators of a feather I guess.

One little-known company has made billions running detention camps for asylum-seekers at the border. It's now repurposing its tents to hold some of the thousands of people arrested by ICE and facing deportation. By @micarosenberg.bsky.social, @jeffernsthausen.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

"Its closure signals that rights violations, including those against U.S. citizens, could go unchecked." www.propublica.org/article/home...

Space Pirates Barrel & Hammer crash-land into Judge Dredd Megazine 479 next week, and @zackquaintance.bsky.social from @comicsbeat.bsky.social spoke to @davidmbarnett.bsky.social and Luke Horsman about what you can expect from their chaotic new Thriller! bit.ly/3G5MSHj

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Big one for military folks ... Hegseth's Pentagon looking to hand on-base grocery stores and shops designed to save service members and their families money to the private sector. Story by @ktoropin.bsky.social + @tomnovelly.bsky.social

Another day, another online government snitch form that you know damn well what to do with. enddei.ed.gov

Military to secure southern border www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Terrifying. 1st amendment under attack by the Trump regime. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

OUTRAGEOUS: Trump’s Social Security Administration will be shifting its public communication exclusively to Twitter (gosh — I wonder whose idea that was?). This comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.
