You either fully denounce Nazis, fascists, and authoritarians — or you stand with them. There is no middle ground. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

I was today years old when I learned that The Pointer Sisters sang the vocals on the Sesame Street classic, “Pinball Number Count.”

Our government is abducting people without due process and shipping them to a concentration camp in a foreign country to be tortured, left to rot, and die. If you aren't condemning this, then go ahead and tell us how it’s any different from what Hitler was doing in the 1930s and 1940s. (It's not.)

NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts grants a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from deporting people to third countries without telling them where they're going and allowing them to raise fears of persecution or torture. The opening lays out the stakes.

He did try to warn us. consequence.net/2025/04/new-...

Rock ‘n’ roll is alive ‘n’ well! #JackWhite @officialjackwhite.bsky.social

I am advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

In case you were wondering, this is what a Constitutional Crisis looks like. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Who else is going to see Jack White at the Agora tonight???

"ChatGPT, Can you write a story in the style of Dr. Seuss's 'The Cat in the Hat' about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States and the increasing threat posed by the current Trump administration? Can you then illustrate the results in a children's book?" app.box.com/s/5fk3u0l91h...

He's afraid TSA scanners will turn him gay, so he instead opts to have strange men pat him down? I hate to break it to this guy, but those TSA scanners already completed their mission. 🫡

This isn’t about the markets jumping because Trump hit pause on his tariffs — it’s about who he tipped off beforehand and how they cashed in on insider trades. With Trump, the grift isn’t a side hustle — it is the whole game.

It's a good thing that Trump is so good at admitting and correcting his mistakes. 😞 www.axios.com/2025/04/06/t...

Detaining lawyers and intimidating judges echo the Gestapo's tactics in Nazi Germany. Targeting legal professionals for performing their duties signals a dangerous slide into authoritarianism. This is simply not acceptable. www.ohioemployerlawblog.com/2025/04/amer...

The Gestapo landed, at the Detroit airport. At what point will the rest of our governemt wake up and decide they’ve seen enough?! Because I’m way past that point. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Fourth Circuit panel, including conservative icon J. Harvie Wilkinson, unanimous in rejecting Trump administration position in case of El Salvador abductee Abrego Garcia.

I'm dreading Orange Monday. #TrumpTariffs #TrumpRecession #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace Black Monday The Dow Jones #TradeWar #stockmarketcrash

The biggest single-day percentage drop in the Dow was 10/19/87 ("Black Monday"), with a decline of 22.6% … until tomorrow. Get ready for Black Monday 2.0.

As a parent of a teenage boy who spends way too much of his time on his computer and who has dealt with his own share of bullying, “Adolescence” scares the shit out of me.

This is so sickening. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wow, who could’ve guessed that slapping tariffs on everything would mess with your 401(k)? Oh right—literally every economist ever.

Of course Trump is purposely tanking the stock market. Total economic collapse = national emergency = Trump declaring martial law. The question isn’t whether he is doing this or why, but who will stop him before it’s too late. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Heard Island has spoken. The penguins will not be silenced.

Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars

Trump is intentionally tanking our economy, either to financially benefit himself, to consolidate power in himself, or both. There is no other explanation that makes sense out of these tariffs.

Leaving this here for anyone who needs to see this today.

Way to go Wisconsin!!!

We need more Cory Bookers! Let this be a turning point when we stand up for what’s right and we stand up for America! I will not succumb to authoritarianism and I will not succumb to Trump and his acolytes, succubi, and lemmings. What say you?

The moment Cory Booker broke Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Are you sure that you're protected against measles? I thought I was, since I was vaccinated as child in the early- to mid-70s. To my surprise, I am not. Check your titer or just get a booster.

ChatGPT's new image generator really let's you capture the moment.

Trump doesn't care. He wants to economy to tank. It's what he's trying to do so that he can find a way to declare martial law and expand his power. www.cnn.com/2025/03/31/i...

Then they came for the beer. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump is really going for it with his new presidential portrait.

Despite the fact that the 22nd and 12th Amendments, working in tandem, make this a constitutional impossibility, we need to take Trump's threat seriously. Because he's clearly not joking.

Our entire county is in the midst of an existential crisis. Law firms, or anyone else for that matter, that bend the knee to Trump only add to it. www.abajournal.com/news/article...
