They seem to think ditching the SWAT gear and dressing like bankers makes this less shocking. The blurred faces are a nice touch. Fascists.

Share the joy* - listen to nature sounds all day at kalw.org. Every Earth Day, KALW blows out all the programming, to give the mic to Mother Nature. Damn, I love my radio station. *lots of joy needed, if you haven't noticed.

The ecological crisis is in part fueled by ideas of infinite growth. We need to take care of the already born, and not just humans, all life. This isn't the way.

Kalw.org

What a tool 🙄😬

Go over to @kalwradio.bsky.social for an Earth Day Special, nature sounds all day. Very soothing. Kalw 91.7 fm

Beyond parody

Remember when they blurred out Tim Pool but it didn't matter because lmao and remember why he was on the news in the first place? What does that chyron say? Ah not important

Who made this?

JD Vance killed the Pope to celebrate Hitler's Birthday, pass it on.

If you want to travel in a large vehicle in order to be confident you won’t die in a crash take a bus or a train.

A proper Caterday activity.

I’m just gonna rewrite this one: “on the one hand, he’s a Maryland dad, and on the other hand, he was thrown in a gulag without due process because he’s brown.”

Why does the president hate America?

Advocate [Apr 17] -- Trump HHS announces anonymous tip line, says people can now report affirming care doctors w/o violating HIPPA laws --as usual trying to accomplish through intimidation behaviors compliance with hateful policies it could not otherwise compel. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

RFK Jr. paints autism in a apocalyptic colors. As an #ActuallyAutistic journalist who has spent the last decade writing about autism, I had to confront him about it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The Grizzlies are bombing away early, Morant gets a wide open three with Moody rotating over and Jimmy going with Edey on the roll.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

Abolish ICE.

DOOCY: Deporting American citizens to Central American prisons -- is it legal? LEAVITT: Well, it's another question that the president has raised. It's a legal question that the president is looking into.

As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance. In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites." But this is unequivocal fact.

At least six people at Virginia's Red Onion State Prison intentionally lit themselves on fire last year. Now, prisoners say staff are forcing people to comply with strict new rules—or punishing them by cutting their electricity. theappeal.org/red-onion-pr...

Steven Miller’s new theory, that a "saboteur," "Democrat" DOJ atty invented the idea that Abrego Garcia was mistakenly removed to CECOT—is false. The error was admitted, on 3/31, by Robert Cerna, an ICE acting field office director: 1/3 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is correct. You do to nazis what the people of Italy did to Mussolini. They were right to do it and they set an example.

“If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community, who joined us for a Passover Seder in that room last night, hear me on this: We celebrated our faith last night, proudly and in a few hours, we will celebrate our second Seder of Passover,” Gov. Shapiro said.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

This piece by @naomiaklein.bsky.social and Astra Taylor is so sharp in its diagnosis of what we are facing and the way we fight back. We don't fight fascism with fascism-lite. "we will need to build an unruly open-hearted movement of the Earth-loving faithful" 1/

I saw this sticker today

This. And also, why wasn’t Abrego Garcia flown back to the U.S. on Bukele’s plane?

initial reports made this sound like a minor failed attempt

The Dodgers are 2-4 since they went to the White House, perhaps meeting Trump has cursed them

Every rich person that sees this should find a Trans person on. This website and send them a thousand dollars because you can and we all need it.

An outstanding essay www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

It is. -Adrienne Maree Brown urges us to ask: “Is your heart beating and do you plan to live? Then come this way and we will figure out the rest on the other side.”

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

Here's Part 2 of a really engaging and wide-ranging conversation with @jaybeware.bsky.social at Millennials are Killing Capitalism

Gravy is pretty great, unless it's between your ears. Find this one on all kinds of merch at effinbirds.threadless.com

You don't need to call them "rationalists" just because they think they're rational. You don't need to call them "pro-natalists" just because that's how they've decided to rebrand eugenics. You don't need to constantly cede the narrative to dishonest people.

if a corporation accidentally sent a bunch of ppl false information regarding the status of their accounts, someone would immediately be fired. then again, if a corporation accidentally sent someone to prison and willfully refused to have them released and apologize, its CEO would be arrested.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

I seem to recall many people trying to stop the pipeline predicting this.
