The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Trump‬⁩ has trashed a century of trust & confidence in the US economy. The bedrock has been stability, predictability, rule of law. This imbecile wrecked it in months. Things will get worse because ⁦‪Republicans‬⁩ have no guts to challenge stupid. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/i...

Greg Abbott’s stalling the TX-18 election to help Trump’s agenda—keeping a safe Dem seat empty for 7 months. @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social isn’t just another name on a ballot—he’s the next-gen fighter. He’s calling Abbott out and ready to raise hell in Congress for people the GOP tries to silence.

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

BREAKING: Over 15,000 people have already packed into the Fighting Oligarchy Tour stop in Los Angeles—and Bernie Sanders and AOC don’t even speak for another two hours. If this kind of turnout keeps up, Republicans could be facing real headwinds in 2026.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

New in PN: Tom Suozzi on fighting MAGA in a district Trump won “They do these things to try to get people all excited, meanwhile they’re trying to cut Social Security and Medicaid and give tax cuts to the rich. The big issue is, how are the things they're doing going to affect people's lives?”

Because China is going to continue to retaliate with more tariffs, trump caved and placed an exemption on smartphones, computers, and chips. But thanks to trump, China has now more tariffs on us than we have on them. Good negotiating trump.

There’s so much wrong with this. This space is reserved for the formal portrait of the last president, no one has ever put their own picture up before. This is an oil painting of a photograph taken when two people died, and the whole thing is just without class or decorum. It’s just so freaking sad.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.
