If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The lesson: this is what bipartisanship with fascists gets you. Fascist do not care about bipartisanship. If you pursue it with them, they will make a fool of you. There is only defiance and opposition. That’s all any decent people want from their leaders anyway. Those who won’t can gtfo.

Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration. It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Hey #FOIA fans want to do your part to make it easier to get DOGE records? Easy peasy. Send a short (polite!) email to [email protected] and say, please make it possible to submit electronic FOIA requests to the U.S. DOGE Service through FOIA.gov. That's all. I'll take it from there.

It's funny because it's true.

the shift from “I never thought leopards would eat MY face” to “eat my face harder leopard daddy” must be studied

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

FUNDSTRAT tonight: “.. in the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers. .. A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

John Oliver's new segment on trans people in sports is pretty good. On content I give it like 7 or 8 out of 10, but you should def go watch it. It's so surreal seeing a high production quality media team actually do some research and treating trans people as human youtu.be/flSS1tjoxf0?...

The HATETRIS world record is now 3,711 lines by David & Felipe. This is more than 10 times the previous record of 302, set by the same team on 5 March 2023. The new replay takes about 2.5 hours to play back: qntm.org/hatetris#kom...

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.

This is a medical miracle and something practically unbelievable only a handful of years ago. They transplanted a womb and then the recipient had a baby? Are you kidding me? This is amazing news: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

every day. women post their achievements online and get their hearts broken 😔

1. We contacted the 100 largest American companies and asked a simple question: Do you support the tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2? These are tariffs that have already destroyed trillions of shareholder value NOT ONE COMPANY WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Fun fact: if you have celiac, get your titers checked regardless! The onset of celiac can reshuffle your immunity and/or make immune response to vaccines tricky. I had chicken pox as a kid, developed celiac in my 20s, and it wiped my immunity to chicken pox. I'm glad I knew to check!

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it? 1/x

Happy Asexuality Awareness Day!! 💖 For those who don't know, I identify as aceflux 💜 There's many ways to be Ace so today's a good day for folks to learn about them 😊

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I'm excited to see the massive protests in the US today. Lack of reporting on police brutality or crackdowns usually means the regime does not see protests as a threat, that the police are on the side of the protestors, or that the press is not doing its job. Wondering which it is?
