Today I learned that #RoyCohn has two panels on the AIDS memorial quilt, and at least one of them would make him absolutely furious. Kudos to the creator of that one. If you’ve heard of Cohn you’ll know which one I mean. AIDS quilt online here: https://www.aidsmemorial.org/interactive-aids-quilt

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Wow. The polling on this is slowly starting to reverse as the Trump administration ramps up the cruelty for the MAGA base. Most people really, really don't like the idea of imprisoning people without due process.

Appalling.

Eloise in full Little Queen Sass Machine mode.

Just found out that Mohsen Mahdawi's lawyer is Cyrus Mehta, a very well-respected lawyer in NYC. Great news for him. Cyrus is excellent.

Oddball fostering ask- does anyone have contact with a NICU or Pampers corporate? Foster is looking for P3 preemie diapers. Pampers is the only company who make them and they’re not available online

Reminder: Pew found last month that of Americans in the middle —those who support deporting “some” undocumented immigrants — only 5%(❗️) support deporting the spouses of US citizens. Add to that there is deportation and then there is disappearing in El Salvador 👇🏽

If you've never watched Deep Space 9; now a great time. It found me during the start of Covid and was indispensable as a source of comfort, wisdom and education. TNG is great, but... DS9 is based asf.

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Behaviores Report: 100% goode!

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

USians often live down to expectations, unfortunately.

Imagine tryimg to enjoy the quiet majesty of space... ...then Katy Perry starts belting out "Wonderful World" in your ear from the seat next to you. Because apparently that quite literally just happened to a bunch of people.

(really, thu, what IS all of this? He's such a little weirdo)

Dandy has been working herself to exhaustion. I may be setting a poor example…

This cat. She looks like a rogue taxidermist has tried to sew a cat’s head to a polar bear’s body.

NEW: DOJ finally files its response. They continue to refuse to provide any information about any steps they are taking to bring him back, suggesting they are not taking any. They again offer nobody with personal knowledge and simply cite Bukele's (utterly false) claim that he can't do anything.

I remember how devastating it was when it got big enough to cover the National Mall. To think of its size now is overwhelming. 💔❤️🪡

Please read this and share it www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Authoritarian lie upon lie. *We are talking about a non-criminal (who is likely representative of many others), not a terrorist *Trump admin says that nothing they can they can do, El Salvador is a sovereign country *President of El Salvador says nothing he can do, can't violate US laws

CECOT is a concentration camp. It may even be an extermination camp.

the boycott will continue until morale improves

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

Joseph Boxhall watching 'A night to remember', an 1958 film about the sinking of the Titani. Commander Joseph Groves Boxhall RD, RNR (23 March 1884 – 25 April 1967) was the fourth officer on the RMS Titanic on the night she sank. He was a historical consultant on the film.

I want that angry cat pin so bad.

I view this as two things: 1) Let's not keep the eye off the ball; they are defying a court order with the cooperation of Bukele, who's pretending he's some kind of smol bean with no power here 2) They're using that defiance to flirt with much, much worse things, only in part to distract from 1).

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Wait Katy Perry has been training her whole life for this????
