Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

I have been seeing a lot of videos with young women starting off a conversation on the first date by asking who he voted for… Yes, girls. That’s how you do it. ❤️

Misogyny is terrorism & should be globally classified as such & misogynists should be classified as terrorists.

We can't rest until government is restored as an instrument for the people, not our homegrown theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.

Sign of the day…

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

Have you heard the good news? Folks around the US are speaking out & showing up. This video was taken deep in heart of bright red Yorba Linda in OC, CA! (1 of many OC rallies) THERE WERE HUGE CROWDS ON EVERY CORNER! Make new friends & bring the old, Fight for freedom 'cuz Democracy must hold

Facts matter

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

New York City. Keep protesting! Keep marching in the streets!

Philadelphia has thoughts about kings and stuff #nokings #handsoff @maddow.msnbc.com @50501philadelphia.bsky.social

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced that the Trump administration will be taking over the reconstruction of Penn Station, removing it from the care of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). How much $$$ will Trump make on this one? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ONE IF BY LAND TWO IF BY D.C. the north end church in boston it’s 250 years today @northendpage.bsky.social

Not the same indeed.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

He gets it 🤩

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

Circle up

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Some major public institutions in Canada, including a pension management firm and a leading hospital, are advising staff against traveling to the US.

There we go.

Who is going to do something? This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

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

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 hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

Same, medieval dudes. Same.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.
