Stephen Fry's argument against God and His morals.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Still awaiting comment from the “don’t tread on me” crowd.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

You broke it, you bought it. t.co/hHXdks6ejw

Macron shook one hand.

The arrest was only undertaken to send a message to the judiciary.

Let’s start with the basics.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Let’s go.

The IRS has a long history of keeping tax information confidential. But a new data-sharing agreement with ICE breaks that precedence and betrays the trust of immigrant communities in ways that could bear consequences for decades.

BREAKING: The FBI has arrested a judge in Milwaukee @samsteindc.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social respond right now.

So the Trump admin suddenly yanked visas from thousands of international students—then backtracked only after getting dragged into court. Let’s be clear: they didn’t do the right thing. They got caught doing the wrong thing.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

⚠️ First, Trump targets sites like ActBlue that help fund his opponents. ⚠️ Next, it’ll be the voters themselves. And we better take that seriously.

Social Security workers are being asked to use an AI chatbot. An animated video on how to do so failed to mention that the chatbot can’t be trusted with personally identifiable information. www.wired.com/story/social...

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Hey, heads up WH reporters!

But her emails…

I read it…

This!

Here we go....

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

"Trump, who has benefited from the protections of due process more than perhaps anyone else in American history, doesn’t see why it should be afforded to anyone else."

Every time she says something awful and I comment on it, her fans call me a jealous idiot, tell me to kill myself, and I get a week of nasty comments and DMs explaining why saying trans women are women makes me “a misogynistic asshole,” so this will be fun.

Dem Leadership - THIS is what we expect from you, full stop.

Tech companies manufacture demand for chatbots and image generation, and then that in turn manufactures demand for coal and gas. Blistering @desmog.bsky.social piece here detailing this new and disgusting symbiosis www.desmog.com/2025/04/22/a...

BREAKING: 12 states sue Trump in the U.S. Court of International Trade to block his massive tariffs, accusing him of illegally imposing tax hikes on Americans and violating the Constitution.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: "There will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China." As predicted, it was yet another pump and dump on the stock market. Endless market manipulation.

Oh yeah, that's right. Tell me again why he had all those name changes.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.
