@chrislhayes.bsky.social breaks down each layer of the "sheer lawlessness" of the Trump deportation case. (1/2)

www.propublica.org/article/blue... @sentedcruz.bsky.social Stop the performative crap and do something about real problems. Granted this is minor compared to the facist takeover presently underway, but this is a major issue for all of us, providers and patients. Take the lead!

1/The Trump admin has made it clear: they will have to be forced to comply with the law. They won’t do it voluntarily. It’s that simple & that complicated. Worst of all, it’s completely unsurprising we’ve come to this juncture. This was in the cards all along joycevance.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

SCOOP: HHS has been gutted leaving critical health systems in danger of collapsing overnight. And no one's in charge: “Those in charge are AWOL. I’m doing nothing productive. This ship has no captain whatsoever, and I’m playing in the band while the Titanic sinks.” www.wired.com/story/depart...

Coinciding with it's "No" letter Harvard has refashioned its university homepage into essentially an advertisement for the social benefits of university research. This is the current front page.

😂👍

“Specifically,” [senior DHS official Andre] Watson’s memo says Ozturk “co-authored an Op-ed article” that “called for Tufts to ‘disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel.’” Lawful speech. That's it.

Statement from Trump on Putin’s Palm Sunday Massacre missile attack that killed at least 34, including several children, and injured another 117 people:

Cruelty and dehumanization are central to autocratic movements everywhere. In this week’s briefing, we outline four ways to confront dehumanizing tactics in our own country in a way that overcomes, not feeds, division. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-not-to...

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

"No one, apparently, is willing to prevent a single man from destroying the world economy, wrecking financial markets, forcing this country and other countries into recession if that’s what he feels like doing when he gets up tomorrow morning" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

NEW: Congressional Republicans are pushing to extend the Trump tax scam—a code rigged for billionaires. But here’s what they won’t say: many of them would personally profit from it. Introducing ➡️ cashincongress.org #CashInCongress 🧵

AUTISM IS NOT AN EPIDEMIC, PEOPLE WITH AUTISM ARE NOT BROKEN

The nation's top health official this week suggested some vaccines are risky or ineffective and downplayed the threat of measles in the U.S. www.statnews.com/2025/04/10/r...

One day apart.

The US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index just hit such a historic high under Trump that it’s literally exploding off the chart.

Not sure how these people sleep at night

The world’s richest people added $304 billion to their combined net worth, the largest one-day gain in the history of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, after Trump pledged to pause tariffs for some countries

Anonymous needs to redirect. No way these idiots covered their tracks. Their gambling accounts should be easily hackable.

the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen

Exactly....Let's see some trade confirmations. This includes relatives of all those close to him. Likely using Signal for comms, but Etrade and Schwab have the goods.

'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'

Trump: "Joe Biden handed us over a country that was in very serious trouble economically." (This is a lie.)

So this was literally a signal Not that this is new but he's just committing crimes in front of everyone

WTF?

To recap: the bond market crashed, Trump soiled himself, and Bessent offered him a clean diaper and a way out

Gee, I wonder what might be worse than worrying about climate change

It's almost as if he is a liar.

I just want to reiterate that the White House Press Secretary — predictably but notably — lied through her teeth about this when asked.

RFK Jr. told me he would "address drivers of maternal mortality.” But he just fired the researchers that work to improve the health of mothers and babies.

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

Yup!

This guy recognizes treason.

He wants his bust on Rushmore.

Trump Administration Aims to Spend $45 Billion to Expand Immigrant Detention www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

JUST IN: Three days after a judge awarded $6.6 million to whistleblowers fired for reporting him to the FBI for allegedly using his office to protect a prominent real estate developer in exchange for helping him cheat on his state senator wife, Ken Paxton announces he is running for US Senate.

The entire conservative movement is an effort to separate wealth from democracy.

BREAKING NEWS: In a shocking moment, Donald Trump accuses Democrats of TREASON. This is bonkers.

As Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a staggering dissent, “we, as a nation and a court of law, should be better than this.” But in the view of five justices, it seems that we, as a nation, are not.

No criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelans deported to CECOT, the El Salvadoran maximum security mega-prison known as a “black hole of human rights.”

Donald Trump and Netanyahu together makes me want to hurl. Trying to spin ethnic cleansing is nauseating.

“A top Goldman Sachs executive summed up the frustration with Mr. Trump succinctly: Someone has to stop him.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/b...

Maybe senators shouldn’t elevate cranks to the level of “top health officials”.
