one other way to think of this is that it is a massive program of upwards redistribution to wealthy business owners who can skimp on worker, consumer and environmental safety to juice profits for themselves www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

The small liberal arts colleges and the regional publics that stuck their necks out to sign the amicus briefs the Jesuit schools were also signing, while all the Ivies and R1s (except MSU!) caved or sat silent, would also like a word.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

Living in fear of being detained, or worse, for no reason other than the racists in charge see your mere existence as a threat to the fabric of society, is what the Black experience in America has always felt like.

The White House today indicated that it will defy a US Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of a Maryland man who was “mistakenly” deported to El Salvador. This is the constitutional crisis we’ve been warning about.

Hoping to drive billions in subsidies to Elon Musk, FCC boss Brendan Carr is trying to pretend the choice is either between Starlink or dangerous Chinese satellites. Ignoring that Eutelsat OneWeb, increasingly being used as an alternative by Germany and Ukraine, exists

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

Incredible reporting here. DOGE engineers may have stolen a bunch of sensitive NLRB data; the agency whistleblower then received what I can only describe as a mafia-style threat.

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night. Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

Bring back everyone who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. No one should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Trump essentially told the Supreme Court to kiss off today. This is, by definition, an autocracy, explicitly illegal. Stand up now or it will be too late.

I must say I no longer believe that this is reminiscent of the Nazi playbook, I believe they’re using the Nazi playbook - offshore extermination and concentration camps, targeting people on basis of race and manufactured legality, academic onslaught, media, gender policing it’s all there.

78 years ago today, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and became the first black player to play in the MLBs modern era. MAGA would call him a DEI hire. The number 42 has been retired by all MLB teams, with the exception of April 15, when players throughout the MLB wear the number in tribute.

A good third of Americans are too intellectually lazy to handle a representative democracy. Sadly their MAGA leaders have ensured that the voices of the other 2/3s are silenced and relegated to 2d class citizenship through gerrymandering and voter suppression.

1/The Trump admin has made it clear: they will have to be forced to comply with the law. They won’t do it voluntarily. It’s that simple & that complicated. Worst of all, it’s completely unsurprising we’ve come to this juncture. This was in the cards all along joycevance.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

The Felon Administration continues to withhold funding from institutions that facilitate DEI intitiatives and teach Black history. There are people happy about this; even the handful of Black conservatives who voted for this. But keep believing this isn't a racist country. (sip)🔥☕️
