We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

Just saw my book, “White Too Long” was purged from the US Naval Academy library. Listed along w/ 380 other books from @antheabutler.bsky.social , @michaelericdyson.bsky.social , @revjimwallis.bsky.social , Bryan Massingale, and others. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

Cory Booker has just crossed the 19 hour line. Five hours and 13 minutes more and he will break Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech in the history of the U.S. Senate. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

UPDATE: Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking for more than 18 hours. It's now the fifth longest floor speech in the history of the Senate, according to MSNBC.

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes). Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster! Come on, Cory!!!!!

The hour is late, but his voice is steady. Watch Senator Cory Booker live as he turns silence into resistance. ♥️🤍💙 #BookersVigil #HoldTheFloorCory #ProudBlue #Voices4Democracy #USDemocracy

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

This aged badly

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

@maddow.msnbc.com here’s the YouTube link to this inspiring 102 year-old woman who heard FDR on the radio when he created Social Security in 1935, now she’s about to lose her Medicaid at Mike Lawler Empty chair Town Hall in Peekskill today

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

Who knew the Canadian flag would become the flag of resistance for angry voters in the US? Angry voters raise the Canadian flag 🇨🇦 as GOP Rep. Baumgartner faces loud, disruptive town hall in Spokane, WA […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Just... wow...

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

Make no mistake, this brazen attack will lead to the shut down of public libraries and museums across the country. This map details the impacts: imls.gov/map

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

The entire conversation around government funding is Washington at its worst. I cannot in good conscience vote for a bill that increases costs for Georgians, defunds care for servicemembers, and slashes investments in education and health care. I am voting NO on the partisan funding bill.

Killing veterans. Decimating DC residents/ families. Supporting Elon’s illegal firings. Enabling Trump’s tariff tax on consumers. Threatening Medicaid, Medicare & soc sec. All so billionaires can steal our money. Musk & the republicans are evil. But Schumer is complicit (along with 7 other Dems).

This is rapidly becoming the only logical explanation.

@chuckschumer.com @houlahan.house.gov More of this please!!!!

Per @johnleguizamo.bsky.social: “Medicaid is called by different names in different states! Stay awake America you lose everything you rely on!”

Trump is slashing another 1,000 jobs at NOAA. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.  Again, this isn't about efficiency.

There it is. JD Vance admits that Trump will take Congress’ budget, ignore it, and use the money on whatever he wants. This is a blank check for Elon Musk.
