I haven't been there in 4 years. Make your own!

"falling out of bed" "Weinberg, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics, sees the economy falling out of bed in the second quarter, which has just started, and now predicts the economy will contract at a negative 4.5% rate in the second quarter." www.marketwatch.com/story/econom...

"If people start calling Donald Trump ‘Liz Truss in drag,’ it will be because he blew up his government with a financial crisis entirely of his own making..." www.marketwatch.com/story/iwas-i...

"Capus said that Russian clients were now getting a red TV screen with a sign: 'We regret to inform you that US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) has decided to terminate the distribution of Current Time'..." www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

Here's what to show your family / friends who might think you are overreacting to 45/47. xcancel.com/acyn/status/...

This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

Yes! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Here's a nice glass of Kool-Aid....

"It is the fourth time he has been arrested since Mr. Trump freed him..." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

I’m sad for hockey fans that their sport’s two top goal scorers are dictator lovers. Ovechkin especially is completely morally bankrupt.

This is indeed a moment of truth for Harvard — and for American higher education as well as science, medicine, technology, and the humanities. If the richest university in the world submits to lawless extortion by the Cult of Trump, we are truly sunk. We must be clear: Veritas is not for sale.

You only have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power -- he's free again. ~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Boo. Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson in dissent.

This awful 5-4 vote ensures that “dozens of programs upon which public schools, public universities, students, teachers and faculty rely will be gutted” despite Congress’s decision to fund them. This is the first clear sign that Roberts can’t hold back the tide. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

The Brennan Center is in the fight to stop the SAVE Act — and any effort to restrict the freedom to vote. Stay informed by subscribing to The Briefing, our free weekly newsletter: bit.ly/3yZ0JfB

"JPMorgan just threw in the towel — they now officially project a U.S. recession in 2025. That’s not a warning. That’s a forecast."-op unknown

“I would be lying if I said I don’t worry. I do. But as I wrote last month: “Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.” — @marcelias.bsky.social (4/5/25). Me too, Marc. In solidarity, LHT

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

And R lawmakers go along with it.

Yup

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

🤣

With Alien Enemies Act contempt hearing over and the big Q looming. This @axios.com report is worth rereading. "How it happened: White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller 'orchestrated' the process in the West Wing in tandem with Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem."

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

Just so you understand, the USA will never be the same. Our global standing will never be the same. We may, in time, be able to repair some of this shit. But it will never be the same.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

American companies quite literally lost one trillion dollars in a single day but on the other hand Dave from accounts receivable doesn't have to worry about using they/them pronouns when he sees Leslie in the break room

Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects. Story for @bloomberg.com (free link):

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.
