Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

“Someone said he’s a member of antifa” will be good enough just cause soon. I promise.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

MAGA idiots have been tricked into surrounding Tesla dealerships nationwide, their presence alone is deterring potential buyers and collapsing sales. Psyop successful 👏

A federal judge just ordered intensive expedited discovery into Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Garcia. The latest:

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

GOP Rep. Brian Mast was relentlessly booed after telling his town hall audience that he loves DOGE.

“It is too early to know what these small cracks on the right mean and whether they presage more substantial defections. They suggest that not everyone can sustain the level of cognitive dissonance necessary to rationalize away this administration’s destructiveness.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Whenever you see “this isn’t about politics” these days, you know something stupid is about to follow. You VOTED for him, you dumbcuck! Three times! That's politics! 🙄 #INeverThoughtTheLeopardsWouldEatMYFace

MIT following Harvard's lead here

Hold Marco Rubio in contempt and then see whether the administration can figure out how to comply with a court order.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

He’s a natural.

“But you say you are conservative - eminently conservative - while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort. What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?“ 1/3 www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/spee...

www.newsweek.com/cody-balmers... Cody Balmer's mother, Christie Balmer, said that she reached out to 4 different police departments, but "couldn't get anybody to help." She told CBS News, "So he was mentally ill, went off his meds, and this is what happened."

“We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement,” Harvard President Alan M. Garber said in a statement. “The University will not negotiate over its independence or its constitutional rights.”

I'm truly not interested in a political project that "restores" the US. I only care about one that completely transforms it.

“When challenged via email to do something that would be difficult to do with AI image-generating software (send an image of herself with her hand in front of her face) or prove that she was an environment expert, Rebecca stopped communicating.” pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/d...

“To put it bluntly, the most powerful people in the world are preparing for the end of the world, an end they themselves are frenetically accelerating.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I want them all unmasked. I want Noem, Homan, and Miller to someday be tried for their crimes against humanity. Ditto for the ICE agents and other officers who abuse innocent tourists, college students, and refugees When all this is over, I want justice. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

every one of these deregulated markets guys is a regulated market guy who hasn’t been punched in the face yet

Garbage people.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Who thinks this man is still alive?

“The tartan was created by Claire Mitchell and Zoe Venditozzi, who founded the Witches of Scotland campaign. The two women and their supporters are seeking a pardon, an apology and a national memorial in honor of all those accused and convicted of witchcraft.” www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/s...

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

Its official! youtube.com/watch?v=fZmP...

There should not be ONE hungry child in existence when billionaires are a thing. NOT ONE CHILD should ever be without food when we have MULTIPLE billionaires. No one ever needs that much money. They’re selfish assholes hoarding resources

i'm on bluesky for the scientific community

Criminal cabal.
