It’s another ugly day in the PNW.

Maybe I’m being overly critical but this feels like such a soft, passive headline. “Aw, we’re just going a different direction right now. Just switching it up a little bit away from those pesky quote unquote ‘human rights.’ Anyway! Who wants snacks?” www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...

Reminder that nativism is the (only) glue that keeps the Trump coalition together and that there is nothing to gain from copying it for the Democratic Party.

Kurt Vonnegut man

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

Not today, oligarchs! #wisconsin

On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

From the outside it looks like ICE has a quota and they're snagging anyone they think they can teach it. Trump campaigned on deporting more undocumented people than exist in the US, the only way to hit those numbers is to deport people here legally.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

this is a bad sign for the administration on the Roberts Rudeness Index (the metric I made up for whether John Roberts thinks that somebody has been Rude, and therefore rules against them)

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Nothing makes me feel older than when I find myself jamming to “It takes two” on my way home.

THIS IS HUGE! For the FIRST time in history, scientists at Sanaria and Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Global Infectious Disease Research (CGIDR) have developed a GROUNDBREAKING malaria vaccine (PfSPZ-LARC2) designed to provide >90% protection with just ONE dose. 🧪🧵⬇️

My husband and I went to Costco today and got a cart full of food and other items for less than $100. I feel like we just unlocked a secret level in adulting.

anyway, keep calling your shit-ass senators and tell them to clean up their acts and keep calling your good senators to tell them to keep up the good work, still got a lot of nominees left to try to block

we're ten days into this thing and all the old DEI hires are looking pretty good compared to the new regime of white mediocrities

We need to amplify this—the Republican House refused Secretary Buttigieg’s request for safety improvements at Reagan International.

I love when a graph drops a hint

Fuck "do not comply in advance." Do not fucking comply at any point! Ever! Fascism is bad even if it's technically "the law!"
