‘His ability to switch from a loving partner to a monster kept me in a permanent state of stress’

The Trump administration doesn't GAF about the sovereign domestic authority of Greenland, Panama, or Canada. And the US government cannot evade its duty to the Constitution and due process by simply flinging human beings to locations outside its own grasp. Courts must correct this immediately.

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

Trump is a walking gish gallop of bullsh*t, so it's virtually impossible to push back on everything, every time....but it's worth pointing out as often as possible that we have no evidence that ANY of these men are violent or menacing, and evidence of the opposite for several.

Remember when people thought Elon Musk was a scientific innovator

While we had "guardrails" around Trump in T1. They also to credit for making him look somewhat intelligent enough to be capable of reading a Dr. Suess book. The guardrails are gone, and now all we see is how completely stupid he is.

somehow this is a metaphor for America in 2025:

A prompt impeachment and removal is this country's only chance at holding on to our global standing.

WHY DID I BUY FROM HOKA??? Omfg, this has been a NIGHTMARE. 😩

This one jackass had already single-handedly set back evolution and acceptance of self-driving cars by a generation or more with his shoddy fake version, and now he does this.

The danger of people using and accepting chatGPT style AI this whole time is that it has never been effective, never been ethical, and now it’s going to be used by the government to harm people at scale

The Bill and Ted franchise is the purest. There’s three movies. They’re all classics. One of the stars is an activist who is a true warrior. One of the stars is a legendary nice guy. The writers are greats. George Carlin was in it and he was the greatest. The Marvel comics ruled.

“The damage has been done,” said George Saravelos, the head of foreign exchange research at Deutsche Bank. “The market is reassessing the structural attractiveness of the dollar as the world’s global reserve currency and is undergoing a process of rapid de-dollarisation.”

Canada, abortion is the canary in the coal mine. Restricting abortion is a tool of authoritarian regimes. Which party has the forced birth candidates? The conservatives! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Child, adult COVID survivors more likely to have heart disease, symptoms, data suggest. New studies from the U.S. and Poland show COVID-19's heart impact: infected children have higher risks of issues like high blood pressure and heart failure, while adults often face lasting heart symptoms.

I made the point to my senators over and over again that whatever pennies Elon was "saving" would be far outweighed by what his actions were going to cost us. Roger Wicker kept sending form emails about how DOGE was going to fix the deficit. Cindy Hyde Smith never even bothered to reply.

We used to build great things, buildings were seen as works of art.

"It's the men who appear to have let their emotions — whether it's unjustified fear of immigrants or an unwillingness to cross Trump — interfere with rational decision-making."

This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Jezebel called our essay in The Hill "scathing." ""DARVO is “the strategy Trump and his team have been using for years to distort reality,” they wrote in a scathing Thursday op ed" Our essay in @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/whit... @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social www.jezebel.com/trump-his-sy...

Every single time I called/emailed Roger Wicker about DOGE, he replied how much he supports Musk because he's so very concerned about the national debt. But he voted to add nearly 6 trillion to it, while DOGE is "saving" a tiny fraction of that with cuts that will cost us more in the long run.

Friday Excess Death Report As of this week, excess deaths from disease in school-aged children were 13% above normal This equates to roughly 500-1,000 MORE children dying every month of disease in the USA that were dying before the pandemic

Do you ever look at a sparrow and think, "that bird is really wasting her potential?" No. That thought would clang against the simple dignity we sense in nature, the dignity of a living thing inhabiting a life. You are that sparrow. You are the branch she rests upon. You embody that same dignity.

And I donated money, and I spent hours daily correcting misconceptions and bad faith discourse, and I wrote hundreds of postcards to swing states. I tried so hard, y'all. 😩

Labor Leaders Fear Elon Musk and DOGE Could Gain Access to Whistleblower Files www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

We are going to stand up against any effort to privatize the Postal Service because we must protect this lifeline for Central and Southern Illinois rural communities.

Victim complex

It's hard to see what is happening unless you pull back the lens, read @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social and others on autocrats and centers of knowledge and expertise. Once you recognize it, a chill should go down your spine. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

🔥WATCH: “Stop acting like you don’t know what this is all about.” Rep. Hakeem unleashes on @AronMaberry for 1 of 2 his anti-DEI bills (he claims are actually fighting discrimination🤔) McKenzie, Glynn, @votegloriaj.bsky.social also made some Maberry juice. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIP_cUj...

I could literally quote every single sentence of this commentary, so I'm not going to - just read the whole thing. And thanks, Dr. Bieniasz, for saying it as it is and showing true leadership. We need that from more scientists and scientific leaders. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

She had an open case seeking asylum and had been granted a permit to work in the US while it was pending. She was here legally, and these criminals busted her car window and kidnapped her out of it.

Oh well.

John Mulaney's "Horse in the Hospital" standup bit still applies.

Donald Trump has transformed the American story | Osita Nwanevu

Most Americans today have no understanding of how we got to be a superpower, or why so much of the world uses our currency and our language as a standard. We spent a century building ourselves up to this point, and we're letting one jackass demolish it in a matter of months.
