New — ICE will release the mother and children they shackled and unlawfully abducted from Sackets Harbor, NY in late March after relentless pressure from the town. I write how the incredible outcome of this horrifying story should give fuel us to fight back: www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...

I'm glad to know this exists.

Just got a note from one of my (many) Alma Maters ASU - they are doubling down on inclusivity in order to tackle the urgent global problems we're facing - climate, social justice, health outcomes - to be of greater service and of greater value to democracy. Nice to hear it.

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

In more uplifting news, 1,000 people protested ICE’s abduction of a mother and children at the home of the agency’s acting head Tom Homan. Notably, the entire population of the town is just 1,450. www.syracuse.com/state/2025/0...

60 MINUTES: “75% of the men sent to the El Salvador mega-prison had no criminal records… the only evidence Trump’s government presented against Andrys (a gay makeup artist) were pictures of his mom & dad tattoos…” Horrific. In all of our names. 🇺🇸 www.facebook.com/share/15wy7b...

BREAKING: The world's 500 richest people lost $500 billion this week, which is the largest ever recorded by Bloomberg. The only one who made money? Warren Buffett.

Analysis | Trump is finally giving us the recession that Biden could never deliver.

Pain

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

So they're doubling down. We'll see how that works out for them. Stock up this weekend, friends.

The convicted felon and adjuticated sexual assaulter who mimed a blowjob on a microphone while on the campaign trail just wrecked the global economy and is now golfing in a tournament owned by the murderous Saudi regime. I don't know what else to add to that. I thought about it and gave up.

Poetry.

Ooooh I got my first magazine photo credits today! www.washingtonian.com/2025/04/05/p...

@gtconway.bsky.social - Thought you'd appreciate this king.

Represented in Thousand Oaks, CA today. We've got plenty of Trumpers here, but the JOY everyone showed today, especially the people driving by honking their hearts out...it was a tonic. God bless you woke bastards!

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social -- Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

NEWS: More than 500 law firms sign on to an amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie amid the firm’s legal battle against Trump’s executive order targeting its business. Read the list of firms that signed the brief authored by former SG Don Verrilli: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We’re launching the People’s Cabinet—a group of leaders, experts, and everyday Americans who will cut through Trump’s lies and speak directly to the people. Stay tuned for more.

let's review the wealth destruction in sycophantic tech CEO land, shall we ? picture below as a reference tool from the Inauguration: AAPL: -8% today, -18% ytd AMZN: -9% today, -18% ytd GOOGL: -3% today, -20% ytd META: -8% today, -8% ytd NVDA: -5% today, -22% ytd TSLA: -6% today, -34% ytd

Several sources tell me a passel of high profile tech and also finance leaders is making a trip to Mar-a-Lago to read Trump the riot act — um talk common sense — to him on the tariffs. Their million dollar donations to the inauguration is turning into billions in losses.

This is a GREAT checklist of things you can do to push back.

Alienate our allies Crash the market Devalue the dollar Spike prices Dismantle the federal government Cause immigrants to live in fear Make others not want to come here If you made a blueprint for how to hurt 🇺🇸, it would look a lot like this Putin is enjoying the show

Holy shit this piece is absolutely savage. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-new-gend...

Thinking about this quote, from JPMorgan's Michael Cembalist, today: www.jpmorgan.com/insights/out...

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
