Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Bill Maher is really not worth my time but here’s my message to him anyway.

“Palantir, the software company cofounded by Peter Thiel, is part of an effort by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to build a new ‘mega API’ for accessing Internal Revenue Service records, IRS sources tell WIRED.” 4/11/25 www.wired.com/story/palant...

Our federal judiciary remains a vital check on tyrannical threats to liberty. Join the April 15 nationwide rally for justice speakupforjustice.law

New photos show that Governor Shapiro and his family were clearly attacked. Firebombing the home of a Jewish Governor on Passover smacks of violent antisemitic hatred. This is what happens when so many remain silent while vile, dehumanizing Jew hatred becomes commonplace. Silence is violence.

Trump signed a memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies: they no longer need to let the public know when they get rid of regulations that they determine are obviously unlawful. Kate Riga of Talking Points Memo notes that “unlawful” appears to mean anything Trump doesn’t like.

Kash Patel removed as acting ATF director, replaced by Army Secretary, sources say - www.reuters.com/world/us/kas... @sarahnlynch.bsky.social

Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?

SCOTUS’ unsigned order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p... And signed concurrence “The USG..implies it could deport & incarcerate any person, including US citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.That view refutes itself”

Important thread.

We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

BREAKING: China has stopped importing US beef. Australia has stepped up to fill in the gap. The US’s $2.5 billion beef trade to China has come to a halt. Thanks to the POS in chief, agent Krasnov, “winning” is actually losing. America is really not awesome rn. amp.abc.net.au/article/1051...

Cody Balmer, 38, jumped a fence and managed to evade state troopers as he broke into Josh Shapiro’s house and set the fire. He fled the scene and was arrested in Harrisburg. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Read this Than read it again Oppose them every day Thanks to @dancingtides.bsky.social

The Senate budget could not be more irresponsible. It allows for $5.8T more in deficits over 10 years without even trying to cut spending. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

This is unbelievable….. yet it is exactly how billionaires think….. this must be opposed by every fiber in our being.

Someone put his post on billboards around the country.

Molly Jong-Fast deleted a post where she said George Packer was right in saying that "Fleeing before you're threatened is a lot like obeying in advance." A bunch of people reminded her that fleeing Europe in, say, 1932 or 33 versus 1939 was often the difference between living and dying. 1/

'The Great Gatsby' was published 100 years ago today, on April 10, 1925. I remember other kids being assigned it in high school but I wasn't. I didn't read it myself until I was in my thirties. As soon as I finished it I read it again, then again. It's a perfect little gem—not a wasted word.

BREAKING: A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from freezing funds used by Maine to pay for school lunches and food for kids/adults in day care settings. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A birth certificate is required to get a social security card, and that number is used to obtain a Real ID Why do republicans claim a woman's ID is insufficient to vote? Whatever paperwork is required to vote should also be required to buy a gun.

Social Security lists thousands of living immigrants as dead to prompt them to leave. The move will make it much harder for those affected to use banks or other basic services where Social Security numbers are required. #MomSky #Voices4Victory apnews.com/article/livi...

I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC. Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know? $300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

Jim Crow 2.0 Ladies we need documentation of your first grade teachers name and credentials. Then , you might be able to vote.

Perhaps media should look at possible motivations here? Gabbard isn’t a _real_ Texan—and the Texas GOP doesn’t need her—so her residency declaration there (likely a fraud) was to save money. The reason she needs to remain a _Hawaii_ voter is Trump and the GOP think she can flip a Senate seat there.

Attention All Canadians! 🇨🇦 Listen closely to Politics girl and please don’t mess this very important election up! Vote Liberal by April 28th for Mark Carney! He’s an exceptional candidate! #MarkCarney4PM #NeverPierrePoilievre #USDemocracy

the three of us are having a conversation

STRAIGHT UP AUTHORITARIANISM!!! DOGE is secretly monitoring staff — scanning messages, watching for disloyalty— and using AI to do it. No one should have to work under these conditions.

After our 1pm Dayton Rally go over to Springfield to join our partners!

Nice puff piece on a young fascist. Maybe a Palestinian student activist can get one of these profiles in the NYT one day. Alas. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...
