Something to consider!

They are NUTS

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

Within the course of a few days Trump has announced he’s keeping all his tariffs against China, then announced a consumer electronics exemption for China, and now he says he never announced an exemption. US trade policy is based solely on what Trump’s dementia allows him to remember each day.

God, if you’re listening? Hello? Is this thing on? The oppressed rose up & left Egypt following Moses because you sent a bunch of plagues. It’s called Passover. It’s happening right now. It was The Last Supper. We got your message during Trump 1.0. He let 1,000,000 of us Die. Any word on Locusts?

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need: a $25 copy of my birth certificate, a $5 copy of my name change, a $3 copy of my marriage license, and an $89 drivers license. OR a $165 passport. Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

A thing that keeps bugging me is: so much of what they're doing is just breaching contracts and calling it a savings. That didn't save money, it just turned it into legal expenses in cases they'll probably lose, and thus pay regardless. But i never see this framing mentioned.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

initial reports made this sound like a minor failed attempt

#ProudBlue Trump's contribution to America's tourist business. (Cartoon by David Horsey)

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

*Fantastic* use of polling

When tech billionaires say “delete IP law” what they mean is delete YOUR rights, not theirs. Think of it like trump tariffs. Completely arbitrary, frequently retracted, and always negotiable for the well-connected. Because the second a competitor starts stealing code, suddenly IP is sacred again.

🧵 Quite a few graveyards would like to disagree. There are plague pits with entire populations who should haunt this worm infested drug addict. He promotes the Nazi pseudoscience of engineering the Über Mensch - the master race. He should have stuck with the family gift for nymphomania. [1]

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

This is literally the message of communist China’s Cultural Revolution under Mao

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

The bill is egregious, it’s essentially a poll tax, especially on married women—it’s approx $130+ for a passport, $45 for a certified Birth Certificate and Marriage Certificate. And there’s no language stating what is acceptable proof.

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.

This might make a nice graphic for discussing with students how we understand and analyze information. #TLSky #EduSky #SchoolLibrary #InformationLiteracy #SchoolLibrarian

The thing about science is that it happens whether you believe it or not. Pretending we have not modified our weather & climate will not make the damage stop. This delusion from the administration will do lasting harm. If you voted for them, you enabled this. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

I was expecting this. Medication will not be safe.

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Just a reminder that these are the people purporting to be outraged by antisemitism on campus. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...
