Listen to @carolecadwalla.bsky.social. She's been warning for years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOo...

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

It would appear CNN was also at the eugenics conference? Why are all these mainstream news orgs at a 200-person event where all the speakers are eugenicists and racists? www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/u...

There has never been and never will be a birthrate induced shortage of human beings on this planet. There are many reasons one might want children, as I do. It is simply not the case that anyone in particular has a responsibility to consider having children to perpetuate the existence of humanity.

On top of the blatant privacy law violations, this is another indication that the deficit—the supposed reason for all the draconian cuts—is going to explode because the agency charged with tax enforcement is in shambles and led by incompetents on partisan missions.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!

WATCH: @tnrepparkinson.bsky.social calls out Rep. Mark White for using selective data to claim privately-run charter schools perform better than actual public schools — as White pushes a bill to take even more power away from local school districts that may not want more charter schools.

Trump is useless.

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

You get what you voted for.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

MAGA acts like he wasn’t president before.

Biggest gasbag and gaslighter of all time.

there really ought to be more discussion about the fact that virtually every promise (or denial) trump made during the campaign was a total lie

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone. Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Usefully sober fact sheet on Ukraine. Please share with those who need it. understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

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.

1. An under-acknowledged historical reality is that regardless of how one feels about the "administrative state," its growth is part of the U.S. rise to power in the 20th century. There are *a lot* of criticisms of that rise, but most *usually* aren't argued by Trump or his supporters.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Chatterton trying to out-McWhorter McWhorter.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Of course there are reasons we don't let one person decide what government spending is and isn't legitimate, and chief among them is that this person could be someone who hasn't had a normal life in 30 years. This guy wouldn't know what to do in a grocery store, he's basically an alien

CARTOON OF THE DAY

LOUISIANA: “Half a billion dollars to send thousands of kids to private schools… voucher students fare worse on state tests than public school peers…” Same story everywhere. But @GovBillLee does not care. #LeesVoucherScam www.nola.com/news/educati...

If Pam Bondi wants to dismiss the Eric Adams indictment, she can just do it herself. She is the attorney general, she doesn’t need to have a line prosecutor do it for her. But they want to be able to say a career person did it.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

This is really well-done in-depth explainer about why shuttering the CFPB hurts ordinary Americans (and is illegal) www.freep.com/story/money/...

(severely condescending tone) Umm let me explain something to you sweetie: [objectively the wrongest information you've ever heard]

"The Israelis shot and killed an innocent young woman and then caused the death of her unborn baby, too. Shocking, right? Depraved? Murderous? And yet, as of Monday morning, there was no mention of Sundus Shalabi on...the New York Times or the BBC" - me, for Zeteo:

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

Maybe.

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. And this is what the White House is focused on.

Schools should be safe havens, not places of fear. Heightened immigration enforcement is putting vulnerable students at risk. Every child deserves to learn without the shadow of separation hanging over them.
