If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

👇🎯 This stuff is the entire ballgame. And the fact that this hasn’t immediately ended this presidency is why none of us can seriously believe with certainty that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & competitive. If 👇 goes unpunished, there is literally nothing a president cannot do.

Services is a far bigger sector than manufacturing. America runs a huge surplus with other countries. ‘Raping’ them in Trumps abusive language. Time to hit back, starting with digital and financial services. www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/b...

Ten Ways to Cook Mayonnaise is the basis of more than one U.S. restaurant chain.

I’m gonna invent an AI where you don’t even need to come up with prompts. You just look at the screen and the prompts happen. It’s called AIThoughtOfThat. And then the upgrade doesn’t even need you to look at the screen. I am looking for a £35billion investment.

Sumy is 100% made possible by Republican 'leadership.'

I think it's actually important and useful to point out that eg a cis and trans woman taking HRT are doing the same thing to their bodies, usually for the same reasons. I think there is shared struggle and experience and solidarity and we should use language which captures both.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

It’s been lost in the tariff news but the fact that the U.S. government can accuse you of a crime and send you to an El Salvadoran prison without trial, is legitimately scarier than the most hyperbolic claims of fascism made by the left during the election.

Sunday morning with fresh, strong coffee and a trip back in time with Rickie Lee Jones

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

And no, this doesn't benefit apple farmers.

Here we go again… Texas mask ban in the works. Masks should never be criminalized. They’re an essential public health tool. They allow disabled people to safely access public spaces. Mask bans disproportionately harm the disabled, marginalized & people of colour. See below for ways to fight back

“.. Carney didn’t need to shout. .. He lined up the free world—Japan, the EU, Canada in lockstep—and showed Trump the cliff’s edge. .. “.. Little triggers and strategies you get when the world’s most respected economist is your PM.” @deanblundell.bsky.social 🇨🇦 open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

The administration is going to run into a legal bind. (1) As a baseline OUTER limit, the written agreement with El Salvador is limited to 1 year. (2) The text reads: "pending the United States’ decision on their long term disposition."

I’ve had to make a self-care rule where I turn off replies on BlueSky after I’ve received three annoying replies. You’ve got to do what it takes to survive here.

Well done you two!

(cn Nazi symbology) since trump cut a deal with tiktok I've been seeing much more of this kind of thing on Live

yeah i don't give a shit about IP law but also i think it should apply to the likes of elon musk specifically

a frequently useful guideline in 2025 is “if a billionaire says something that might have a reasonable interpretation you agree with, they don’t mean the reasonable version you’re thinking of”

Shaq embraces fascist Trump.

RFK Jr.’s clearest proposal so far is his campaign promise to create wellness farms where Americans would reconnect with the soil, an old idea that’s failed many times, @shaylalove.bsky.social reports:

Q&A Q: You're telling me this is important for my health, but if that's the case, how did people 200 years ago survive without it? A: They mostly didn't.

Oooh, I've got some anti-Christian bias to report; the current administration that targeting Catholics and Lutherans who work with migrants.

I'm able to make this animation of how the ocean breathes in and out CO₂ because of data collected by NOAA scientists, data served at NOAA websites, and tools provided by NASA. All are under threat of being dismantled by the Trump administration.

Sigh. I don't suffer from it, I exploit it to guilt trip conedy audiences into listening.

Imagine that, supporting labor, supporting unions, investing in youth and their future. This is what leadership looks like. Mark Carney will do wonderful things to strengthen Canada, it’s economy, self-reliance and future progress. We could have had that too, but you know…bigotry

There is a way out. A national strike: work stoppage of national workforce Also called a general strike, it protests government policies Shut everything down. It works. It scares the shit out of them. It shows who really has the power 1/

BREAKING: Harvard AAUP & the nat'l AAUP have jointly filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump admin from demanding that Harvard restrict speech & undermine academic freedom or else lose $8.7 billion in federal funds. This action challenges the Trump admin's misuse of funds for coercion. Stay tuned.

Thanks to @aaup.bsky.social, which is filing the lawsuits that universities should be filing but aren’t.

How was YOUR Record Store Day? Lists of hauls, photos, tales of digging welcome.

Many of these Afghans risked their lives supporting American troops during our disastrous occupation of Afghanistan. This is disgraceful.

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.

Trump may be triggering the fastest nuclear weapons race around the world since the early Cold War. Read more👉 politi.co/3RdjQrD

On Friday, April 11, traders placed large, aggressive bets that Apple’s stock would jump within days. They bought contracts that would only be profitable if the stock moved up fast. Hours later, the White House quietly announced a major policy shift. data-and-politics.ghost.io/173-returns-...

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I have zero patience for “do climate work but just don’t call it that”. I am not talking in code about an existential threat bc a handful of Americans like profiting off oil and gas & have managed to brainwashed another handful of Americans. Don’t capitulate. They’ll take your funding anyway.
