This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

The unbridled assault on “Science” is just irrational and so very dangerous! These ignorant acts could have immeasurable negative impacts for generations…

🇺🇸😳 US government spending has increased by $154 billion since Trump's inauguration, despite DOGE's work to reduce it, — WSJ

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

For Russia, human life means nothing. For political and business leaders who treat Russia as a normal country, human dignity means nothing.

"It was eight last week, 50 now," said Hayden Nguyen, the co-chair of SJP at ASU and a sophomore studying business policy and management. "We don't know where it's going to be next week, and we need to build a really strong movement." www.statepress.com/article/2025...

“Emergency powers are designed to address sudden, unforeseen crises that are moving too quickly for Congress to address.” Invoking them to address a longstanding trade imbalance “is not how they’re meant to be used,” @lizagoitein.bsky.social tells Inside City Hall.

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really? Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting: www.cm-life.com/article/2025...

🤩🔥 Fantastic detonation of Russian T-80BVM tank, - Magyars Birds

I didn't pay much attention in my high school US History class, but one thing I remember is that the whole point of the US is that we didn't want a king.

Staffers Walk Out of RFK Jr.’s Slur-Ridden Speech About Deep State - The Daily Beast What a disgrace you are. To our country, and your families legacy.

Putin's aide Patrushev commented on Estonia's intention to sink ships in the Baltic Sea, suspected of intending to damage undersea cables*: "Well, it's disgusting, disgusting. We must think about how to counteract it. Estonia itself can't realize it, so someone is behind it.

🤬🤬🤬 The fastest way to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine, said Witkoff, was to support a strategy that would give Russia ownership of four eastern Ukrainian regions it attempted to annex illegally in 2022, - Reuters.

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Economic uncertainty literally off the charts

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky himself offered the US Ukrainian minerals in exchange for military aid. This was one part of his “victory plan,” — former US Secretary of State Blinken.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

The thing about this guy is that he’s a total product of right-wing affirmative action and you literally would never have heard of him if he was a liberal.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

💥 400+ general counsels sign open letter: “We oppose the targeting of lawyers and firms, and the resulting chilling effects on the legal profession and the business environment. We support lawyers and firms who endeavor to stand up to these threats and those that support their targeted peers”

Hey, #Fellas, can you spare an hour a week? Go to Engin.com and find a Ukrainian refugee who wants to improve their English. You don't have to be an English teacher. I'm not, and I have been meeting with a young Ukrainian via Zoom for ~18 months. I think we both enjoy our sessions. #NAFO

This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

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...

‼️ Today marks exactly one month since Russia refused to accept a full temporary ceasefire proposed by the US, - MFA From March 11 to April 11, Russia launched: ▪️~70 missiles of various types; ▪️~2,200 Shahed drones; ▪️~6,000 guided bombs.

Sen. Chris Murphy and Rep. Adam Schiff are right. Congress really needs to launch an official investigation on who profited off of the felon’s chaotic #TradeWar and how much they illegally got. We already have the proof against one of them and his rich friends on this video !

‘In severing the Shoah from “universal values”, the Israeli embassy rebuffs decades of mainstream discourse on why we should remember the Holocaust.’ @mrothberg.bsky.social on the disinvitation of philosopher Omri Boehm from Buchenwald’s liberation commemoration: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ap...

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

These charts from @washingtonpost.com tell the story: Trump has launched a trade war that no one will win. How much economic pain will America and the world suffer before he backs down or Congress or the courts intervene? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of *terrorism* anonymously.

Trump admin misses judge’s deadline to detail steps for wrongly deported man’s return This Administration doesn’t honor its oath to adhere to and defend the Constitution. This Administration considers itself to be a law unto itself, exercising power by fiat and abusing its discretion.

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

Trump boasted about his manipulation of the Stock Market. This used to be a crime, but when you are a President, your cult — er, party — will allow it. www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/trum...

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

‘Trump’s Rose Garden announcement made few references to specific industries that he thought that his measures would assist or create in the US. This isn’t surprising: the tariffs weren’t informed by any new research into the actual condition of US industrial sectors.’ www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ap...

I just learned that the entire press team at the FDA was fired last week. The *entire* press team. It's difficult to grasp how bizarre this is. To wrap my brain around the idea, I made a list of things the FDA is responsible for, and that reporters now have no one at the agency to ask about... 🧪🛟

One of the best jobs in the world is up for grabs: @npr.org is hiring for a China correspondent job-boards.greenhouse.io/nationalpubl...

Tariffs xkcd.com/3073

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror
