Dear god let this man cook.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Scolds

🚨NEW: Europe ‘Frankly Insane’ To Keep Importing Fossil Fuels, says @frediotto.bsky.social. There are dozens of stories about the new @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social climate report, so I thought I'd highlight something a little different.

For those who aren't following, the Trump Administration is claiming that they do not have to bring back people they have wrongfully deported without due process. Essentially, once they're in el Salvador, there's nothing they can do. Holy ****, this is bad. 1/n www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

So we’re gonna screw over the Etsy businesses but Apple gets exempted.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

Maybe if we can't track and study hurricanes anymore then they won't happen? www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

This was three months ago.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Elections have consequences

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

••••••BREAKING•••••• The number of measles cases in America now exceeds 500, making 2025 the third-most active year for measles since 2000 — the year the U.S. officially declared the disease eliminated. (Individual states have been relatively slow in reporting cases, so ultimately,…

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

One of my many frustrations with law school is that "remedies" is an optional class and not an integral part of every single class. One of the most important jobs for lawyers is to say "yes, this violates the law. Now what are the steps we can take to do something about that?"

JD Vance slams Demark for not doing enough for its citizens, when it provides universal healthcare for all of them when the US does not, and they're ranked the "Happiest Country In the World." The US ranks at the bottom of that list. America is a delusional country that got high on its own supply.

An elderly holocaust survivor confronts ICE and Tom Homan. His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush. #MomSky

Living vicariously through my Auburn fans friends since the Heels are out. Feels weird, man.

#Massachusetts folks: Advocates are hosting an emergency rally for Rumeysa Ozturk in Powder House Square Park in Somerville this evening at 5:30PM.

Hello Amsterdam at Schipol Airport.

It’s interesting to hear about angst over academic freedom at Columbia when their ME department required certain beliefs for decades. Chickens coming home to roost. Academic freedom is good it just hasn’t existed there for a long time.

This is a tyrannical claim. It’s the kind of claim that sparked the revolution.

Does anyone study the effects of algorithms and audience capture? We used to study Soviet propaganda right before pivoting to Lost Cause propaganda. A cult is gonna cult. The hermetically sealed maga ecosystem is impervious to truth. Didn’t we watch a million people die in the pandemic?

"Elon Musk Reportedly Set to Give $100 Million to Trump’s Political Operation" This is brazen corruption. Musk invests $100 million and gets billions in tax payer funded contracts from Trump admin. We MUST end big $ in politics! www.mediaite.com/tv/elon-musk...

Clever!

Once a friend who worked for Obama tweeted a thank you to a bike mechanic who helped him. Republicans immediately had a meltdown and the spokesperson for the House Republican Leader demanded full disclosure of their business ties and called for an investigation. I am not making this up.

Trump has vetoed the G7 proposal to combat Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankers. The US is now pushing to remove references to sanctions and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The shadow fleet is keeping the Russian military afloat. #3E #OpCanary www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
