Good Friday morning, friends! Just a giggle to start the day. Have a day, y'all! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Flock cameras were used to track a women having abortions & They're used by CBP & ICE to hunt our neighbors & friends. They've been used to stalk/harass ex-romantic partners. Now Flock has a PI license in California where they can investigate you & not face legal repercussions. #SurveillanceState🧵

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

2. Primary source documents, videos, and all the reciepts:

Last week was one worth taking stock of! Mamdani balanced New York City's budget after a $12 billion deficit and Newsom balanced California's through 2028. The Supreme Court restored mifepristone access...for now. And Democrats are leading in Senate polls in red states, including North Carolina.

This was banned for a reason! It affects wildlife, pets, even children have been harmed! This admin is full of psychopaths who enjoy hurting vulnerable people/animals. NO on cyanide bombs!! NO on the Save Our Bacon bill!! Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Ask to speak to your representatives!

The modern United States has experienced 11 recessions. Ten have happened under Republican presidents. This isn’t a coincidence. They screw things up because they try to impose a fairy tale on the country. trib.al/a8oDeWy

All those Dems hovering at the bottom need to drop the fu*k out before they give this race to the GOP. FFS.

The low polling Democrats need to drop out for the good of the country! CA cannot have a Republican governor.

Low polling Dems need to go!! Even if only Mahan, Villaraigosa and Thurmond drop out it will help. Jfc.

Done. I told my KS senators to vote no on mining in the Boundary Waters. The destruction of this pristine wilderness and risk to poisoning glacial lakes isn't worth the greed of a foreign mining company.

How will shuttering or moving Forest Service offices impact research & forest safety during what could be be a severe fire season? UCS's Julian Reyes joined 1A from @npr.org discuss this issue and the Trump admin’s broader efforts to dismantle federal science. Listen: the1a.org/segments/wha...

You can’t claim Christianity and excuse blasphemy. Release ALL unredacted Epstein files‼️ #SheShed

AOC is my pick.

Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson just called Trump's Iran war "the greatest geopolitical disaster in the history of America" on live TV. He says Trump "stuck his hand in the middle of a hornet's nest" with no way out. A brigadier general said it. Out loud. On camera.

Forest Service Will Close Research Stations That Study #Wildfire Risk Scientists say their work on fires and climate change could be lost as the agency moves its headquarters to Utah from Washington and shuts 57 research stations. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/c...

Somebody is making a fortune on the war with inside information and it is grotesquely corrupt.

Protecting public lands is about far more than money.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed. She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone. Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Oh, McSteamy. RIP.

It appears that elected Republican politicians are among the “paid protesters”, “agitators”, “insurrectionists” and “domestic terrorists” who oppose the atrocities being committed by Stephen Miller and ICE Who knew

"Sorry, I didn't know we were doing gifts..." newrepublic.com/post/205836/...

Big questions have been raised after Stephen Miller sold shares in a mining company shortly after it announced a major deal w/ 47's admin. The day before the deal was announced, MP Materials’ share price stood at $30. It then rose to a historic high of $76.6 on 8/14, the day Miller sold his shares.

Holy shit. Midnight massacre at ICE.

Well this is great for conservation. (Sarcasm intended) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Know the difference between a Judicial Warrant and an Immigration (administrative) Warrant. Administrative warrants don’t allow agents to enter private homes. Only judicial warrants, signed by a judge, grant law enforcement the authority to do so. Do not volunteer additional information. #NoICE

When The New York Times published its story, “The Hunt for a 316-Year-Old Stradivarius Stolen in the Fog of War,” one of the central figures behind the discovery was Cal Poly Humboldt alum Carla Shapreau. Read more: https://now.humboldt.edu/news/violin-went-missing-and-humboldt-alum-who-found-it

You expect him to go to the Snake House?

This is the most delightfully Canadian thing I've ever seen

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle—we'd call that a kidnapping. Until an alleged ICE agent identifies themselves, that's what this is. For all we know they're a rapist murderer stalker looking for their next victim. Indefensible. Dem leadership must act NOW. 2/2
