ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n

See the problem here?

I’m confused. @schumer.senate.gov is meeting with Trump voters but won’t hold a town hall to hear what Democrats have to say? This isn’t the leadership we need!

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

She said that way too casually.

Did he see the polls tightening in Canada and think to himself I want to give the liberal party another booster shot

“He has, from the moment of his nomination, been a miserable example of a leader, deflecting blame, accusing others, and smirking and snarking his way through his Senate confirmation hearings and almost every other public appearance since taking his post.”

Israel bombed a “safe zone” in Gaza. It set tents on fire. 8 children were burned alive. Their bones melted. A mother and her kids were charred beyond recognition. The stench of human flesh filled the air. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/we-s...

lol

A young rich cishet white man with a silver spoon dusted with cocaine jammed into his mouth never heard of certain things? Astounding.

Today is Day 11. Still no deals.

Looking at incoming vessels to the Port of Los Angeles (America's largest container port): 1.) This week we're still in frontrunning mode (57%+ YoY). 2.) Next week we're basically at normal (-8% YoY). 3.) Two weeks from now we're in The Bad Place (-44% YoY)

As someone who was automatically assumed to be a potential teen mom on welfare two generations ago, I am deeply offended by the far right obsession with teen fertility. I know they couldn't care less about Black fertility or maternal health. But this obsession with (white) teen pregnancy is CREEPY.

The Abrego García case is not about one man. By denying the constitutional rights of one man, the Trump regime is threatening the constitutional rights of every man, woman, and child in America. Trump is using the plight of Abrego Garcia as a test case — with the malicious intention of someday…

All facts

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked, for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th century wartime law.

an actually worthwhile competition between politicians www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

U.S. immigration detention is a profit-driven enterprise. Private corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic receive billions in federal contracts, earning daily revenue per detainee. The more migrants detained, the greater the profit—turning human suffering into a business model.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.

Ten things you can do to fight fascism this weekend before or after you protest: 1. Take that canned food you swear you'll use someday to the food pantry. In fact, if you have a little extra, buy a can or two every time you do your grocery shopping and drop it off on your way home.

NEW: The National Intelligence Council determined in a secret assessment early this month that Venezuela is not directing an invasion of the United States by the prison gang Tren de Aragua, a judgment that contradicts Trump’s public statements www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I’ve got a lot of problems w/what RFK Jr says here—but worst is his description of people on the autism spectrum as unable to contribute. This is the Trump admin’s war on diversity: if you’re not their version of “perfect,” you’re not worthy. Thanks to Holly Robinson Pete, for setting it straight.

Mass protests planned all over the country this Saturday. At least 500 events, organizers are hoping that millions will again turn out. You can find events near you via @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @teslatakedown.com

Donald Trump is a radical domestic terrorist. Pass it on…

•••••BREAKING••••• Sen. Van Hollen has finally been permitted to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele posted photos of the meeting, adding a shocking message about Abrego García’s incarceration at CECOT: "Now that he's been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of…

Kaitlin Collins is a beast tonight!! You go girl!

Bukele just posted this on X, suggesting he arranged a meeting between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Chris Van Hollen. He then used it to mock his critics for expressing concern about Mr. Abrego. If these photos are real, it suggests diplomatic pressure worked, despite his "I'm not mad" attitude.

No such adjudication/ruling can happen in immigration court nor in criminal court, and Bondi is neither.

PSC members at Foley Square, outside the NYC headquarters of ICE, to say HANDS OFF OUR STUDENTS, HANDS OFF HIGHER ED! We're joining with other @aaup.bsky.social chapters from across the city to defend the right to learn because our solidarity makes us strong. #HandsOffHigherEd

Correct. When you've cranked up the blowtorch and applied it to the siding of your house, it's not time to call the fire department. Turn off the blow torch. Trust me. There's an elegant simplicity to my solution.

@columbiauniversity.bsky.social, you could've been patriots who had the stalwart support of the American people + fellow universities. You sit on $18BILLION but sold out your students for millions. History will record the stark contrast between the capitulation of Columbia and heroism of Harvard.

Do not obey in advance Do not let them divide us They want you to be afraid We show strength in numbers Use your voices loudly, speak the truth Do not stand in the shadows or sidelines Oppose illegal activities by those in power They will take away more of your rights, if you let them

Precisely this: Defeatism is a form of surrender. Doomerism is ceding your power and your future to a greedy cruel tyrant. We must demand the rule of law be upheld. We must hold the line.

This dude could be the leader of the gang and he is still entitled under US law to due process. He has rights. That's the point here. It doesn't matter if you are a bad person or a good one, you are supposed to have the same rights under the law. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
