fight back, ohio. step 1: overturn hb6.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

I’m proud to join the great Cyndi Lauper in the fight for women’s rights & healthcare. Go to www.bonfire.com/girlswantrights2025 to get a shirt and learn more about the #GirlsJustWantToHaveFundamentalRights Fund. @tidescommunity.bsky.social

After decades of research on stem cells and their reprogramming, we're now seeing extensive clinical trial assessment, some with very encouraging results. This is a new @science.org outstanding review of the biology and ongoing research efforts www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Listening to the president this afternoon if it weren't for lies and things he just doesn't understand he would be mute.

Deeply disturbing and unprecedented politicization of the Holocaust Museum by Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

“Famously commonsensical Canada reminds us that some things — patriotism, self-respect, dignity — matter more than short-term growth.” My column on the meaning of Carney’s stunning victory. www.ft.com/content/f063...

Barry Blitt’s cover for this week’s issue, “The First Hundred Days.” #NewYorkerCovers nyer.cm/ysrCZ47

I love John Oliver, and I loved Sunday's episode, but one nitpick: It grated on me badly when Oliver referred to David Geier as a "vaccine skeptic." Geier is not a skeptic. He is a longtime antivax activist and producer of bad science and pseudoscience regarding vaccines and autism.

Trump’s first 100 days: * performative illegal EOs * melting down the US government, US standing in the world, science, and the economy * deporting US citizen children with cancer, among others * losing and losing and losing in court * triggering a huge domestic and global political backlash

Most satisfying day of 2025 so far. www.ft.com/content/5f9a...

Canada Election 2025 Live Updates and Results: Mark Carney Wins on Anti-Trump Platform HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BREAKING: Canada Election Live Results: Mark Carney Wins on Anti-Trump Platform CBC/Radio Canada, the national broadcaster, projected a win for Liberal Party in an extraordinary election that was dominated by Trump’s threats to Canada’s sovereignty and its economy. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Pritzker: As a Ukrainian American Jew who built a holocaust museum… let me say this to Donald Trump: Stop tearing down the constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.

An air-traffic technology outage led to significant delays at a New York City-area airport Monday and snarled flights around the country

Horrible tragedy #RIP

We will remember forever the service and sacrifice of Graham Hoffman of the Kansas City Fire Department. Our condolences to his family, all at KCFD, and all in our community.

The number of ships sailing from China to the U.S. laden with clothes, electronics, furniture and other goods is plunging, as an accelerating number of cargoes are canceled / so bluffing on trade policy doesn’t work b/c who has what “cards” is pretty transparent to those paying attention….

Pope’s funeral a diplomatic minefield as Trump sets fire to US alliances

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent Epstein victims who also alleged she was sexually trafficked to Prince Andrew, has died. She was 41. Her family on Saturday issued a statement confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.

Virginia Giuffre survived Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network, fought for justice, and became a voice for so many. Today, that light is gone. The toll of abuse never truly ends, even when the headlines do. Honor her by fighting for those still unheard. Rest in power, Virginia.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

I'm not sure if every single one of NYC's 8.2 million residents would make a better mayor than either Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo. But I bet half of them would. Which is to say if there were a ballot with ranked choice voting for candidates 1 to 4 million, I'd still leave both of them off my ballot.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Al Gore has said the thing, Thank you Al Gore. Now I’m placing your words on your internet.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

Foot traffic at Target stores has declined for 10 weeks in a row following the company's shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion policies, a report shows. abc7ne.ws/3S0Vwtn

Approaching the 100-day mark, Trump has 40% approval rating, the lowest of any president at this stage going back generations, per @pewresearch.org www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Seeing a lot of "RFK IS Wrong About Autism" headlines. Well, duh. Strike the word "austism" and replace it with "everything" and it saves time.

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

Journalism works! Calling attention to incompetence and power abuse works! Keep fighting 💪 @50501movement.bsky.social @nytimes.com #50501Movement

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Earth Day 2025

So we’ve got a Secretary of Defense who can’t keep his communications secure and a Secretary of Homeland Security who can’t keep her handbag secure. #FireThemAll

Pete Hegseth was never qualified to lead our military—and he never will be. Sharing strike plans in a group chat with his wife and lawyer is reckless and dangerous. Trump must fire him now. Our troops deserve competence, not a walking national security risk.

This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

❓DID YOU KNOW? Currently, California school libraries are LAST in the nation in the ratio of credentialed librarians to students. California is far behind all other states, ranking 51st among U.S. States (including D.C.) with one teacher librarian for every 9,054 students 😱 1/3
