RIP Mike Peters of The Alarm. I picked the band based on the name (like REM and U2) when I signed up for the Columbia Record and Tape Club (tape dude here). Great album back in the day - great messages too.

Trump’s DOJ ordered ICE agents to conduct home raids without a warrant, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment. And three American children were just unlawfully deported, including one with cancer. Where is the outrage from the so-called “party of freedom”?

Donald Trump is openly and proudly defying a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court order—an order from the same Supreme Court whose conservative majority last year declared him a king above the law.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I just heard something different played on @SiriusXM turbo for the first time in a thousand years. Thanks, covino - or was it the Papa Roach guy?

Stephen Miller on Gov. J.B. Pritzker calling for mass protests: “His comments…could be construed as inciting violence…This war that Democrat governors and mayors are waging against federal law enforcement. I mean, this is nullificationist behavior. This is secessionist behavior.”

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

they know there's going to be an apocalypse for trucking jobs due to tariffs so they're trying to stem the political damage by making it so the layoffs disproportionately affect non-english speaking truckers

🧵 on Mississippi's HB1193: This last week of the semester, in my seminar on race and racism, we're reading Linda Martin Alcoff's The Future of Whiteness. But also, this week marks the 'legal birth' of Mississippi's HB1193.

Maybe federal judges will realize it's time to stop dicking around and time to start throwing people in jail themselves.

Trump is flagrantly defying the Supreme Court

In a new memo, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the DOJ will allow for subpoenas, court orders and search warrants to get information and testimony from journalists.

I'm certainly not the only one. But I've been saying this. The White House is losing the war over public opinion on the Abrego Garcia case badly. 26% is an astonishingly low number. Trump is losing a significant chunk of his core base on this. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

After a busy morning, more than 20 cars stretched down Main Street in Poplarville as over 300 people waited for their monthly grocery pickup from Jacob’s Well Recovery Center. The Trump administration has cut $1 billion in funding that fund organizations like this one. Read more: buff.ly/5cG1jvz

The US is at the international summit for energy security, actively trying to bully other countries out of decarbonizing.

The Trump administration is quite transparently using anti-semitism as a pretext for authoritarian crackdowns on speech & association, and some Jews are saying "no thanks."

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

The unexpected elimination of funding for the decades-long research project focused on women's health shocked scientists. They were heartened by the quick restoration of support.

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

"The Partnership for Public Service, which studies the federal workforce, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that Trump's firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

“The First Amendment has protected the voices of Frederick Douglass, Alice Paul & Martin Luther King Jr., & it must protect Ms. Ozturk’s, too.

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.
