Just like yesterday, today would be a great day to #TaxTheRich. These oligarchal times ain't it, y'all.

There’s something scary happening in the Canadian federal election. In Quebec, the Bloc leader is now telling voters “Carney WILL WIN” so people can vote to give the Bloc more seats. Singh is now saying Carney will get a “super majority” so voters can elect NDP candidates. Do you see the problem?

Oh come ON!!! Stupidest possible way to run an economy

The Christian nationalist's tool of persecution is warped but powerful. It mobilizes voters by framing issues as moral emergencies. Creates solidarity, i.e. “they” are coming for “us." Deflects criticism, any pushback can be reframed as an attack on their faith rather than a light on the truth.

love how destroying regulators, corporate oversight, corruption enforcement, international diplomatic consistency, environmental standards, consumer protection, public safety standards, the rule of law, all democratic norms, and the social safety net just don't enter into wall street deep thinking

Honest to Pete the stupidity is just exhausting

“He has, from the moment of his nomination, been a miserable example of a leader, deflecting blame, accusing others, and smirking and snarking his way through his Senate confirmation hearings and almost every other public appearance since taking his post.”

It’s wildfire season. Again. (Remember when that wasn’t a thing here in NYC?) The wind is shifting through the day, & smoke from the NJ fire is headed our way this afternoon & overnight. It’s time to get out your air filters. Here’s where you can see the smoke forecast: firesmoke.ca/forecasts/cu...

This is a time of organizational cowardice & individual heroism. If you expect organizations as a whole to stand up for what’s right, don’t. They will devise excuses to justify their cowardice & try to convince individuals that their organizational cowardice is the only way forward.

Add road to eugenics to the list of things to worry about.

Excellent lecture by @holdenthorp.bsky.social (Research Integrity and Scholarly Excellence @virginiatech.bsky.social) about regaining public trust in science: be humble and meticulous, admit mistakes and correct them, answer questions. Universities should shift their focus toward teaching.

"I'm a strong believer in due process," Adams affirmed this morning, before going on to say he has no problem with people getting picked up off the street by ICE, sent to a gulag, and held incommunicado in El Salvador without due process. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-h...

My deeply Catholic mother said to me today, "On Easter our dear lord died beside two criminals. The Pope had to sit with J. D. Vance in his final hours." Burn.

My choice for Pope:Cardinal Michael Czerny from Montreal. He was the Jesuit sent to El Salvador to face down death squads. He worked in Africa during AIDs. He was in Lebanon pushing for peace. He is a social justice warrior. And he married my wife and I. international.la-croix.com/opinions/we-...

New Yorkers, state budget negotiations are still underway and we need to keep the pressure on. Call your NY State Senator and Assemblymember today and tell them #NoNYMaskBan! covidadvocacyny.org/stopmaskbanny

Today on #SciFri 📻

Trump says he can’t do anything because of the second amendment. Which is interesting, given how unconcerned he is with the constitutionality of a third term or eliminating birthright citizenship, let alone due process guarantees for every person in America

The story of the Sea of Reeds teaches us how to move through fear: Face it. Stand still. See clearly. Get quiet. Then move forward. We can take action together. Read and subscribe at:

The Trump regime keeps upping its Big Lie about wrongly deported Maryland dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia because their entire dictatorial enterprise hinges on proving their ability to crush this one human Until Kilmar is free, no one in America is free. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/kilm...

Very very important read. A startup backed by the paypal mafia and the Kushner is set to get a contract to privatize the entire internal govt credit card system. No compete sweetheart deal. Justified by bogus claims abt fraud. Pure corruption. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Absolutely! Who else agrees?

The greatest risk to our economy is President Trump. #Debate2025

France finally acknowledged the debt they owe Haiti. This is just the beginning of something. I'm gonna republish the feed. This is important. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/f...

History would remember it as the day America became “great” again.

Packed with lots of good ideas You can share it many ways 💫 🎩 T/H @ the artiste extraordinaire Luc, who made it 🤩

A common characteristic of concentration camps is that they're controlled by governments and leaders who simultaneously want to use them to terrorize targeted groups while also pretending that the people running them are decent people not harming anyone and acting only in the public interest.

Carney was the worst debater but this is the reason he won. He was the ONLY person to listen to all the questions and attempt to answer them in earnest, point by point. Everyone skillfully dodged the hard questions. By this, carney showed that he’s the only leader who would listen to everyone.

It's 2030. Secretary of State Chris Van Hollen, who has rebuilt a coalition with most NATO states, says the siege on Bukele's home has been a success. The NBA has ruled Ozempic is not a performance enhancing drug, but Luka Doncic refuses to take it, winning his third MVP in four years at 400 pounds.

Please more cisgender people do this. Read @jessothomson.co.uk's and @goodlawproject.bsky.social's articles on the impact of the supreme court ruling and demand primary legislation to urgently safeguard trans rights.

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.

SURPRISE!!!! The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public. This is how authoritarian states are run.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Wow this is much better than I expected. We need every local health department in the country to get this info up on their website, at a minimum.

There was no (well, a very wee bit) about Paul Revere but it was good to hear from a senator who is as alarmed as I am about what is going on. Thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social and Sen. Angus King of Maine for this conversation. Governance is my love language 🤣😛

🤔 Does your school district teach any trades skills? Then here you go! Your students can learn, while saving the world (and your sub staff budget 😏) at the same time 🤩 healthydebate.ca/2025/04/topi...

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

This is why we have due process; because random people speculating about things is a terrible way to run a government. Without due process, we're all just vigilantes. At its core, that's what this is about. Due process and the rule of law. Everything else is window dressing.

Go Michael Roth go! @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/04/16/T...

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited. sherwood.news/power/shop-t...

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
