Watch until the end…

This is great and what I’m talking about. A bunch of old white folks in Iowa demanding answers from Grassley. Probably most of them were even Trump voters. This is a losing issue for him.

If you are wondering how the GOP could sit by and watch Trump destroy this economy and lay waste to our institutions, it’s because it is the plan. Break it. Privatize everything.

It's hysterical that Harvard was apparently willing to consider some of the Trump administration's demands but when they saw the part about imposing "viewpoint diversity" in every department, that was the dealbreaker. Losing money is no problem. Having Bret Stephens down the hall? Get bent.

So Arkansas, did this session of our legislature make your life better or worse? Healthier? Smarter? Did it help anyone? If so how? Would be nice to have a functional press corps to ask such “hard” questions. Think or they will control you. Act while you still can. Care about others.

Good for Harvard

Short hearing, and Xinis was all business. She dismissed. The DOJ objections is already dealt with and said it’s time to move to discovery, which will be very very rapid. DOJ proffered the oval office meeting yesterday; she wants evidence gathered under the evidence rules.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Self-diagnosis is valid. Also, telling someone who landed on self-diagnosis after months, if not years of researching and learning about autism, that they're not autistic because they don't have a piece of paper saying so, is classist and ableist. Please don't do this.

I wish more people understood this:

our founders anticipated a Donald Trump, but they failed to anticipate a cowardly and compliant Republican party

No Billionaire Tax Bailout! The Republicans want to cut a trillion dollars in life saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP (food stamps) to give tax breaks to the wealthiest while taxing lower income Americans more! HELL NO! #BillionaireTaxBailout

I hope elephants outlast us.

this moment reflects a dire constitutional concern. when a scotus ruling is ignored and a protected individual is deported, the integrity of justice is at risk. #PenguinsForJustice 🐧 #FreeKilmarAbregoGarcia #truthovernarrative

Warren: But this also happens to be a case where it’s not just the DOJ and SEC with jurisdiction. State attorneys general all across the country have power here too. That’s why a group of us just sent a letter to every state attorney general, urging them to launch independent investigations.

"And to all the librarians reading this: you are doing sacred work. Please keep showing up, even when it feels invisible. Our kids are watching. Our communities are grateful. And your efforts matter — more than you know." - Emily Rumble pearlsandrubys.slj.com/2025/04/10/i...

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

MIT following Harvard's lead here

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

As science is further attacked, I think of the lotus flower that grows from the muddiest waters. 🪷 The lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) grows in eutrophic waters, absorbing up to 85% NH₄⁺ and 70% PO₄³⁻. Its roots stabilise sediments and remove heavy metals like Cd and Pb, purifying the water. 🧪

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

Listen to more classical music. For every like, I shall recommend a good recording. (I'm going to regret this, aren't I?)

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

i can't explain it but bluesky onboarding should come with five recipes involving rotisserie chicken

The worst part of all this is: WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. We know who this man is. There are no surprises in his conduct. He’s a habitual liar in most interactions, but when it comes to telling the public how evil his mind is, he’s been very straightforward.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Our actions tell the truth about what we really believe and who we truly serve. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness. Self-control. This 🇺🇸 president not only lacks all of these, but he embodies their exact opposites.

I have this radical lefty belief that voting should be easier than buying a gun.
