Due to demand, we're expanding Dev Days with two events this year! Sign up to join us on May 15 and/or September 25. Dev Days is a 24-hour virtual hackathon welcoming new contributors to any of our 15 open source projects. A great, easy way to get involved! More: www.aswf.io/blog/dev-day...

Quite the rebuke. Federal court: "Secretary [Noam]’s actions appear predicated on negative stereotypes casting class-wide aspersions." Orders postponement of DHS decision to terminate the status of over 600,000 Venezuelan nationals who have legal status to reside and work temporarily in US.

To be clear, the destruction of the U.S. is the result of putting a deranged convicted felon who would fail a security clearance back in office instead of in jail and then allowing him to appoint a cabinet of unqualified criminal goons who would also fail a security clearance.

I will never forget and I will never forgive the people who did this to us, reserving particular contempt for those who said we were overreacting when we detailed the threats this idiot posed to the country and the world. I will not get over it, and neither should you. Hold them all accountable.

I'm so sick of takes like "oh, it's always been like this if you were paying attention." No, it hasn't and you're lying if you say that it has. You're normalizing the brutality.

Elon Musk would now be in charge of the databases determining voter eligibility.

Oh man, who could have seen this coming?

Once you’ve got official @aswf.io stickers, everything is an official ASWF product! Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising! How the real money from the movie is made!

so funny to vote to keep the government open so they can resume permanently closing down the government

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

They adopted a posture of total submission and it bought them precisely nothing. A lesson for the Trump era www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Another day, another #TrumpSlump decimating my savings

I'm Obnoxious LA Native enough to not even notice an earthquake less than a 5, but that little 3.9 hit me with such a sharp jolt, and was so loud, I jumped up in my chair like a damn first year transplant.

Simple flow chart that doesn’t even account for how much cost of living is about to go up for many, many people. No surprise, Trump and the GOP’s tax plan is a massive gift to the wealthy paid for by the poor and middle class.

Appeasement never works on bullies, they just demand more. Appeasement is how we got here, a straight line from Nixon’s pardon to now. Appeasement shifted the Overton window so far to the right, we’re told to only focus on the more “extreme” things happening.

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

@academyswf.bsky.social welcome to Bluesky!

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately." | www.wired.com/story/treasu...

If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't vote for a fucking racist, this isn't exactly rocket science my dudes thehill.com/homenews/cam...

The Republicans and Democrats in Congress who voted for the Laken Riley Act, and endorsed its notions of detention and deportation without the rudiments of due process, facilitated today’s announcement of Trump concentration camps. They’d be wise not to go a single step further down that road.

Anyone know what’s prompting the expanded evacuation warning zones in Brentwood/Santa Monica? New flare up in the southeast corner of the Palisades Fire?
