“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social repping Tennessee at the massive #FightOligarchy rally with @aoc.bsky.social & @sanders.senate.gov in LA today. 36,000+ in attendance. www.instagram.com/p/DIXnIxIv9s...

Shaq can fuck all the way off and then fuck off some more

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

Decent and certainly qualified picks for board seats — also politically astute when it come to Powell — and a sharp contrast to the fetid Dana White www.axios.com/2025/04/11/e...

@profgalloway.com called it... After Scott predicted no tariffs on Apple products on our Friday episode, President Trump just gave an exemption to smartphones, computers, and other electronics. What prediction will come true next? Tune in next week...

"It's like being on the helicopter out of Saigon...You're either on the helicopter or you're not, & if you're not, you’re screwed" After @profgalloway.com's spot-on prediction, @karaswisher.bsky.social breaks down what the exemption really means for Apple and, & why others are not out of the woods.

The oligarch playbook

What are the odds that to spin his heinous fuckup into a faux victory tv moment that the Salvadoran president will bring back the man Trump sent to prison there without cause www.thedailybeast.com//trump-doj-f...

Who’s gonna tell this clown the news?

Law grads, save your soul. Don't apply to these firms. Make them toxic. There are other ways to make money and do good work. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/b...

California defies Trump order to certify that all school districts have eliminated DEI

Yes Trump is a convicted criminal who incited an insurrection and is tanking the US economy and deported innocent immigrants and quotes Hitler but he was nice to me! So says Bill Maher Glad he's being roasted and humiliated and going out a sucker. Muslims been telling you he's sucked for years.

Oh yeah, this puff piece was written by a journalist who was previously a political writer for Tucker Carlson's hate rag The Daily Caller.

It always gives me great joy to be invited to the all the Ivy universities that rejected me for undergrad & grad school. Oh, it's the small pettiness in life. But, this is a great event. IVY FUTURE OF PAKISTAN CONFERENCE. If you're around Yale, Saturday, come by. www.ivyfutureofpakistan.org/about

Trump caves again. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

My latest: "All Hail the New Authoritarian America" In America, you can now wear a MAGA hat, storm the U.S. Capitol, and attack police officers, but you can't commit a thought crime, be a legal immigrant, or criticize the dear leader. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

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

The wellness industry is killing animals, spreading disease, and fueling the next pandemic

Just one phone call. That's it. All it takes. But this reflects Trump and Stephen Miller's cruelty and ego. They refuse because they can.

Hello! Yes, I know who Curtis Yarvin is, his relationship to the regime, and what they’re up to. No, I don’t include him in every post. But you can rest assured that I know who he is and that I’ve covered him. Thanks!

@warren.senate.gov: "This is the Trump administration. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous for the billionaires. Billionaires win and everybody else loses. And they laugh about it."

It seems like every day we are focusing on what is happening to democracy in court. The best way to stay informed is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. Always fearlessly independent with no corporate overlords. It will not bow down. It will never obey. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newslett...

interesting how rapidly academic freedom and free speech disappeared from the conversation after dominating it for years and years www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“REPORTER” seems generous here.

Ah.

Imagine if the average person adopted the DOJ’s bad faith confusion of lawful orders? “You didn’t say WHOSE hands in the air, officer.”

I still worry things get so bad Chuck Schumer declares “it’s not the time to point fingers but to solve problems.”

How soon until government agencies are only allowed to communicate emergency information on X?

Musk won’t be satisfied until he has chips in every one’s brain to pump in his jokes and whines.

Trust me, once they fire up your Neuralink, Elon’s jokes totally land.

I kind of miss when we thought young people would push the country in a better direction.

What will the competency level be at these agencies when they clean out all the people who actually did their job?

This is how you squash those conspiracy theories that it was all staged.

Imagine some new hires from Social Security going into Tesla and after a week telling them how they are making cars wrong. Though it would probably take a day to figure out not using LIDAR for self driving is idiotic.

I think there's a reason they only go to restaurants where some MAGA goon is an investor.

Did Trump happen to sell a few hundred million in Trump coins this week I wonder?

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.
