EVERYONE really needs to read this. I think it’s the most frightening thing I’ve ever read. Our world as we know it is about to crumble. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I didn’t think 2025 would get a better visual metaphor than the pic of Elon Musk’s micropenis car on fire outside a Trump hotel. Or inaugurating a racist on MLK Day. Or tearing down the East Wing of the White House. But apparently we have a new winner:

No Two Ways About It!

The time to be passive is over!

Time for this song to go viral on social media, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music, or...? #HandsOffDC

A new study concludes that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. By @abrahm.bsky.social

This is worth a watch. In two minutes, Gavin Newsom lights a fire under his entire party. “I’m sick of this, [the] party needs to wake up. These guys aren’t screwing around. We gotta go on offense. No more defense.” 🔥 (🎥 @briantylercohen.bsky.social)

It seems #Trump isn’t quite so loved in #Scotland…

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

DHS wanted 20K national guard troops for immigration enforcement. With crossings down >90% since Trump took office it'll be difficult to sustain a declaration of emergency. Plus, this is a bad idea, will damage public support for the military. The Pentagon should deny the request.

With ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ coming to an end, here are seven timely lessons from the TV series for resistance movements today.

Holy crap. Here are 91 pages of letters that 14 House Democrats just sent to the nine law firms that have paid off Trump to not attack them. Lots of Qs aimed at sorting out if they violated federal bribery/anti-fraud/racketeering laws. min.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today. This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

Keeping this for historic record

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

April 20 was Hitler’s holiday. Now it may mark the day Trump declares martial law, suspends the Constitution, and finishes the job he started on January 6… hartmannreport.com/p/trumps-hit...

Sir H was tied to a tree by his former owner and lived for six months at the humane society in my rural hometown. I had mourned a prior rescue for two years when I saw saw his photo on the shelter’s website. I drove six hours to pick him up shortly before COVID hit. We definitely rescued each other

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

Boycott Airbnb! They’re DOGE!

Reminds us of how @marshablackburn voted against it then showed up to try to take credit for it: x.com/thetnholler/...

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

This is insane. “Everyone is welcome here” should be the principle guiding every classroom, not a banned phrase

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

It seems I've also been placed on leave, just like the rest of my VOA colleagues. Truth is, I can't know for sure, because when I woke up this morning in Seoul, I'd already been locked out of all VOA-related systems and accounts.

Trump just invoked the Alien Enemies Act, so I’ll pass along this good explainer www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Reminder: Milei is who gave Elon the chainsaw Pay attention to Argentina

Charter schools are just another privatization scam. Abolish charter schools and vouchers and fund public education.

Great job, @jamestalarico.bsky.social . Texans don’t want school vouchers.

30 years ago, Hillary Clinton stood at the World Conference on Women & spoke facts. Women’s rights are human rights & human rights are women’s rights. She’s a fighter, a leader, & 1 of the greatest allies we've ever seen. Hillary, this #CupOfJoe is for you with gratitude. #InternationalWomensDay

Bonkers story. Trump’s DoD is using AI to flag posts and photos that feature women and LGBT people. So now, any material that references the Enola Gay, the aircraft that drops a nuclear bomb in Japan, has been marked for deletion. apnews.com/article/dei-...

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Which begs the question...and seriously, I'm begging for an answer to this question...what are we getting in return? We're stopping offensive cyber ops v. Russia? Are they returning the favor? We're stopping blocking foreign attempts to interfere in our elections? Are they reciprocating?

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.
