Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

This is what happens when you put Republicans in charge of products and policy at Meta, because Republicans are child sexual abusers. Pedocon products.

Not a dime, not an inch of support for for any candidate who doesn’t start with “everyone who committed a crime during his administration will be prosecuted.” FWIW this is why I’d rather see AOC stay in Congress or the Senate because I want the Article I branch to become scary powerful again.

CNN reports that the oligarch is building a "master database to speed-up immigration enforcement and deportations by combining sensitive data from across the federal government" with the help of Palantir, to create "targeting lists". That all sounds very very bad. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

Big props to @joshkovensky.bsky.social for calling the question: if 107 Venezuelans being held in CECOT already had final deportation orders from the US (on assumption they’d be sent to VZ), who exactly is dictating they be held there now? talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

I will say it again — DEI has always polled well and the idea that it's broadly upopular is wholly the invention of pundits nursing their own grievances and projecting them onto an imagined average American. Many such cases.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

For the first time, a super granular look from us at Split Ticket on how Democrats won Wisconsin in 2025. The story of this election is turnout. 2024 was Trump +1. But if that election was repeated among 2025 voters? Harris +7. split-ticket.org/2025/04/21/h...

NEW from me: Some U.S. citizens have already been caught up in Trump's immigration dragnet. More will be. A side note: more reports of citizens detained by immigration officials emerged even as we prepped this story for publication. For @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/more...

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far - Your health is an asset of the fatherland - Illness is a failure or a moral failing - You have a duty to maintain your health - Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource - Die for the fatherland

So today: - Trump says he’s “just giving you what they handed me” about Abrego Garcia. - We learn Trump didn’t know Musk picked the IRS head. - It’s reported that they didn’t mean to go to war with Harvard. Perhaps staffing a White House with unqualified loyalists isn’t a great approach.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.
