How Trump Saved Elon: The USAID Starlink Probe Cover Up

“Today, right now—and I mean right this second—you have the most power you’ll ever have in the current fight against authoritarianism in America,” writes @adriennelaf.bsky.social. If you wait to speak out against autocrats, you have already lost: https://theatln.tc/Dub5DrW8

@newmekboy.bsky.social Merci for including me. Appreciate it. #mutuals ♻️

“A loss of independence” 🫠 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/b...

Hitler used tariffs to “liberate” Germany from a globalized world order—careening the economy backwards, Timothy W. Ryback writes.

The top executive at CBS’s “60 Minutes” resigned, saying he had lost editorial independence, a high-profile departure from a company in the throes of a legal battle with President Trump

The mass firing of GSA staff and the potential sale of federal courthouses are not merely routine changes. These developments could meaningfully hinder the judicial system and need to be seen as part of Trump allies' attacks on the rule of law.

Secretary Hegseth “could preserve some of his dwindling dignity, and spare the president he serves from having to fire him in public, by making the honorable choice and resigning—today,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes:

A poll shows the president's approval rating has declined faster in his second administration than it did in his first.

In a move to change cultural attitudes about childbearing, the Trump administration may soon start bestowing mothers of six or more children a special medal. Here's a not-so-fun fact: This idea was popularized in Nazi Germany.

The Trump administration is set to cancel tens of millions of dollars in grants to scientists studying environmental hazards faced by children in rural America, among other health issues, according to internal emails written by senior officials at the EPA.

Breaking: Harvard University said it has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration

OPINION by @zeeshanaleem.bsky.social: “Trump’s war on academia and attempt to create a docile higher education system is authoritarianism 101. In the process, he seems willing to torch a key source of what makes American academia great.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Trump’s Easter message to America is about all the Americans he hates and has nothing to do with Easter.

What happened to you, GOP, that made so many of you want to support fascism, fraud, criminals, and hate? #50501Movement #HandsOff #nokings

Despite a court order, Donald Trump is still refusing to allow journalists from the Associated Press into the White House press pool. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment, free speech, and freedom of the press.

💥

Never in recent history has the federal gov't been so blatantly & illegally used for political retribution at so many levels & with such far reaching tentacles. The entire federal government has been transformed into "his" tools for revenge & the punishment of anyone who criticized or defied him.

From 2020: Jill Lepore on what we can learn from the upheaval of the 1930s.

President Trump has tested his authority with such force that some institutions—universities, law firms and many lawmakers—have started to fight back

"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."

“Ignore the Supreme Court” Rule Of Law Or Mad King Donald? https://twp.ai/4ildOx

Wilmington, NC showed up and showed out for the #NoKings protests! Got to meet my friend @jaybird54.bsky.social and her husband there. It’s always fun to resist this fascists regime with friends! Get out there and have your voices be heard.

WOW: Massive crowds in New York City right now for the 50501 National Day of Action against the Trump regime.

Aberrant!

While our neighbors continue to restrict reproductive care, know that Illinois is and will always be a safe haven for anyone seeking an abortion.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Protests were held across the country to oppose what students and professors say are the Trump administration’s threats to academic freedoms

The former secretary of state delivered a call-to-action to Americans.
