The first time I heard about these Sound Burgers, I couldn't believe they'd been a real thing. Revived a few years back, these Audio-Technica portable record players were originally released in 1983. It used 3 big ol' thicc C Batteries to give 12 hours of playback.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This is going to be a colossal loss of footage. Over the years I've gotten plenty of information for Retrospectives from interviews on Twitch streams. Now imagine how many reports will end with "Well that source is gone now but trust me on it, it was there."

Oops! Trump and Musk sacked over 300 staffers at the Department of Energy, not quite grasping they took care of the nation’s nuclear stockpile. Now, they want to rehire them but can’t find them because these geniuses deleted the workers’ email and failed to obtain their new contact information.

If you’ve been waiting for a five-alarm fire to raise your voice: it's here. Last night, the president signed executive order giving himself carte blanche to decide what actions are or are not legal. This is the story to focus on. Protest this executive order like democracy depends on it.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

83 years ago today, 120,000 Japanese-Americans were sent to internment camps across the country, simply due to their ethnicity. This shameful chapter of American history exists in living memory, as does its lesson — that unchecked executive power threatens our basic constitutional rights.

NEW from me: a source tells me yesterday the Trump admin moved to reduce the size of the Board of Immigration Appeals from 28 Appellate Immigration Judges to 15, in the process laying off judges appointed under Biden. This comes as the BIA faces historic caseloads and delays — which will get worse.

I have insomnia a lot lately so may as well share what’s literally keeping me up at night. It’s a long list but tonight it’s flu. Yes, H5N1, but also seasonal flu. Firing federal scientists brings a flu-filled future. Have you ever wondered how flu vaccine strains are chosen?

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

“I’d understand a strategic reduction in force if needed,” said one USDA employee, who was fired over the weekend. “But this was a butchering of some of our best. Does the public know this?” this excellent WP story explains why the firings are illegal. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Basically they're saying just do it to the blue states. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! If blue states are gonna get hit with this shit, then don't pay the federal taxes. Let the red states wither away when they can't bum money off the blue states like they have for decades.

I have so much trouble with the idea of using the trans brain scan studies in advocacy, because doing so implies that the validity of our identities is based on their similarity to our cis counterparts'.
