How long until funding is cut? 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Seriously though, this is amazing stuff.

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.”

Trump, the so-called dealmaker, now wants to delay Medicare from negotiating drug prices. Eli Lilly charges Americans $1,080 for the diabetes drug Mounjaro when the same drug can be purchased for $200 in Japan and $520 in the U.K. Is this what Trump means by America First?

Today's @ncinsider.bsky.social quote of the day really takes a turn at the end... #ncpol #ncga

All of these men are being illegally detained in a foreign gulag. They weren't deported. They were illegally imprisoned. This is the face of fascism. Look at it.

“They’re not really using AI, they’re not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything,” the former official said. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

All of the people on those flights need due process. Kilmar is important bc the administration ADMITS he shouldn’t be there, but NONE of them should be there. No one had hearings. No one was treated humanely. No due process or diligence happened.

The North Carolina House Education Committee approved a bill aimed at barring books and other media with sexual content from school libraries, opening up schools that do not comply with the requirements to lawsuits. ncnewsline.com/2025/04/16/n... #ncpol #ncga #nced #HB636 @kingdollar.bsky.social

The point isn't that every American necessarily *is* unsafe now. The point is that every American has to wonder.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Trump’s America

This is heartbreaking.

On April 15, 1848, 77 enslaved men, women & children boarded The Pearl in the single largest recorded escape attempt in U.S. history. Despite being captured, their resilience & fight for freedom fueled the abolitionist cause. 127 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

It’s hard to stay positive when shit is so fucked up.

Important information!

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

There is a vicious lie going around that filling out the FAFSA affects your benefits or tax returns. It is a LIE. Please share so this gets around. Too many kids are finding out they won't be able to go to school because their parents won't give up their SSN or tax information. Share!

If smaller schools would go in together and form a coalition to sell some kind of bond to help replace missing federal funds, I would donate to that and I don’t normally donate to the alumni fund.

Mohsen Mahdawi was arrested Monday when he arrived for a citizenship interview in Colchester. According to the petition, Mahdawi co-founded the Palestinian Student Union at Columbia in the fall of 2023 with Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained by immigration officials earlier this year.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Vigils are powerful peaceful tools of dissent. Vigils are about constant symbols of dissent everywhere. Quiet and poweful. It can be candles in windows. It can be sit/down vigils / gatherings It can be art exhibits like AIDS quilt. Let’s get to work! 🇺🇸dissent

Heartbreaking.

Bukele's father was a Palestinian. If anyone is looking for a sell out.
