I would advise against putting your name on this

it couldn't be more obvious they are preparing for eruptions this summer and a subsequent crackdown

Confirmation that parents did not consent to deportation of their U.S. citizen children (they had other parents/caretakers in the U.S.) www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Even by MAGA’s deranged standards the war on medical research is incomprehensible

This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.

In medieval times, monstrous tyrants would put the decapitated heads on their enemies on pikes. Today since they're being disappeared to die elsewhere, the same types of monsters put photos of them on the lawn of the White House. That's the framing the media should be doing for this.

Trump becomes the first American president to lose a Canadian election

I thought this was udderly impossible

*John Oliver voice* Yes.

loooooooool it's on

1/ The Texas House passed a bill that would create a $1 billion school voucher program in the state. The bill — which faced fierce opposition over concerns it could lead to discrimination — is a “direct assault” on public education according to advocates. 🧵

Imagine that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"He wasn't suspicious, he was white." 🙄

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

Since April 1, DOGE has put dozens of the NEH’s staff on administrative leave, making it impossible for the agency to fulfill its statutory obligations. Arts friends, please let your Members of Congress know that you condemn these actions and support the National Endowment for the Humanities!

Read and re read and re read again When the civil rights movement happened they boycotted for more than a year straight. They walked miles on end rather than use public transportation that mistreated them. They brought real economic strain to the systems by boycotting it 1/

only received $25 please 💸 💕

we now have election-style "race calls" on whether or not republicans have successfully invalidated enough legitimate votes validly cast by constituents to steal the office they lost

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

It's clear (maybe?) that this is their strategy, but Bob Jones had a very specific policy banning interracial dating, which was the reason for the tax revocation. But Trump seems to be saying he just doesn't like Harvard for a multitude of reasons and so voila. See also @smbrnsn.bsky.social feed.

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

All those years of “nerdprom” vanity, and the WHCA appears to have evaporated without a fight.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

If the United States wanted him out of that prison, he would already be home, with or without El Salvadorian assistance.

“I’ve been disappeared because a rainforest killing plagiarism machine picked me out of a hat”, coming to a dystopia near you

Which is a civil violation

Linda McMahon thinks "AI" is "a1." Great. The secretary of education is a D.U.H. hire.

Welp...I had thought of finally drummed up the nerve to get back on a cruise and with this, that courage is gone. Absolutely not!

This is the only way

This reminds me of the fiction writing program that would add a character named Bucky every time you began with a character named Steve, and that is when we knew for sure that it had eaten AO3. AI does what people already did. It can't do otherwise.

There was a school board mtg w/the person that Shelli Boggs nominated. He was elected president and from that point on, the women on the board were not permitted to speak and were apparently called names. They didn't even announce the meeting. The community found out because somebody leaked it.

Before I die, I want "boys will be boys" to die. In my lifetime, all it's meant is "boys have a pass to be assholes because they're boys". Not to mention that she's talking about grown MEN who are acting like petulant children because our society enables it with "boys will be boys".

Trump regime is deleting legal migrants' SSN in order to cut them off from government services and banking. New level of fascism unlocked. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

The SAVE Act just passed in the House of Representatives. What’s next? Take a watch! #SaveAct

Columbia University capitulated to Trump to get $400M in science funding released. What happened? Not only has the funding NOT been released, but all NIH funding ($700M last year) has been frozen. Giving in to bullies just makes them take more. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
