WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Weather is getting nice, what if 10 million people went outside at the same time

NEW: By a 4–3 vote, the Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds Gov. Tony Evers' creative "veto" transforming a two-year school funding increase into a 400-year funding increase. Evers crossed out words, numbers, and hyphens to rewrite the law—legally, it turns out. www.wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/D...

>reading the David Brooks Op Ed about mass strikes and seeing him quote the communist manifesto at the end

This is the good stuff, written for all Americans and not just for legal elites. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

‘Show Me Where You Make Autism!’ Shouts RFK Jr., Storming Sour Patch Kids Factory theonion.com/show-me...

for real

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

so tired of these people already

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

“Being an American Jew is a mindfuck. And now we’re in more peril than ever because the destruction of this country’s university life and the lives of university students is being done in our name.”

Less traffic (6 million fewer cars in first 100 days) More people (1.5m more visitors to BIDs, Broadway tickets up) Those who must drive get there in ½ the time (48% faster through Holland tunnel, 65% fewer rush hour delays) And yes, honking down 70%! www.curbed.com/article/100-... @nymag.com

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

Fed Chair Powell: "cutting back on scientific research may have implications for economic growth, for productivity, for health, for all kinds of things, but those are very difficult to estimate in real time."

never too late to do the right thing @columbiauniversity.bsky.social

poasting something stupid to offset the bad

Now, then, forever

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

not going to say the timeline would have turned out way differently if elite universities had just told Elise Stefanik to fuck off a year ago, but it probably wouldn't have hurt

I did include the Fourth Circuit statement, but haven't seen many others in the media do so. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/14/t...

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Fantastic sign.

File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Sooner or later, we're ALL going to be Kilmar Abrego Garcia

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

Head of New RFK Jr. Vaccine Study Practiced Unlicensed Medicine on Autistic Kids JFC. Idiocracy.

This is how all billionaires, and everyone in Trumpland, should be covered. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

3 facts that should drive the news: 1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud. 2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities. 3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.
