Are teacher's unions getting involved in resisting these ICE raids yet? General strikes aren't going to do much. Rolling teachers strikes are much more effective. It's like spraying wrenches in the machine.

The energy we need

If you're willing to sacrifice the rights of others, you've already sacrificed your own

Pretend there’s a war on (there isn’t). Pretend drug traffickers are terrorists (they’re not). Pretend overdoses are armed foreign attacks (they’re not). Pretend “the president says so” means Congress has no role (it doesn’t). Voila, legal. When factual reality is irrelevant, any law can apply.

Well, it is mulch season.

The SecDef wants all service commanders and their senior enlisted advisors to come to Quantico on short notice. It’s difficult to understand why. My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-qu...

The allegations of "public-private speech policing" are **made-up!** What would have been "healthy" is for Douthat and friends to have called it out as BS when a bunch of us had our lives turned upside down based on lies. Their inability to do so provided the pretext for this current 1A assault.

“Words…are not value neutral. They can be kinetic, and they can inspire others to act. That act might look like a hateful tweet, a threatening phone call, doxxing a target, harassing their family, or worse. That is not debate. That is the active silencing of it.” open.substack.com/pub/wicziped...

The difference between Alligator Auschwitz & Auschwitz is at Auschwitz the Jews could actually move around the confines. In Trumps internment camps they're caged into their bunks.

Start calling this what it is "Alligator Auschwitz."

Top notch Belarus parade 🤣

If you call every fact-based criticism "deranged," and say it's coming from "sick people," the problem is you. How long until more of the media and the public grasp that calling so many things "deranged" is a sign of derangement?

The irony of the homeland security secretary not being able to secure her own bag 🫠

Breaking: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant By Josh Campbell and Kit Maher www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

Those people didn’t burn down a Tesla dealership. That was a normal tour and a test drive. The Tesla employees practically opened the doors and let them in.

Holy Shit😂

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

The reason the Trump admin was comfortable having Noem post an influencer vid like this is bc they know MAGA will be entranced by this the same way they gawk at OnlyFans influencers. It inflames a hedonism blending lust & cruelty. Turning people on, letting people indulge in their lust for cruelty

These people are incompetent. www.spiegel.de/internationa...

(ProPublica) - Elon Musk’s aerospace giant SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs, according to previously unreported court records. @jeisinger.bsky.social

The big result of Russia-Ukraine “peace” talks is a return to something like the Black Sea truce they previously reached on their own that Russia subsequently broke and is now lying about and might not follow? Not exactly an achievement. Always the same reason: Russia is after conquest, not peace.

Aborted chickens, in drag, for the children.

i am going to keep coming back to this piece i think. trump is fighting a retribution campaign against the entire american people. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/o...

🔥🔥🔥The Find Out Podcast has been steadily rising on Apple Podcasts’ Top Shows Billboard.🔥🔥🔥 We’re now beating out a ton of rightwing propagandists, including Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Adam Corolla, Matt Walsh, K*ll Tony, and Tim Pool.

Unbelievable aptitude in technology.

I'm still putting the story together. I'm sharing limited info and request for more info anyone seeing this message might have. I understand that DOGE showed up today at the Institute of Museum and Library Services and rapidly began sending employees home. This was presaged in an executive order...

The Kremlin is intensifying efforts to change the demographic makeup of occupied Ukraine to legitimize Putin's claim over occupied areas. The Kremlin also continues Russifying Ukrainian children in occupied areas to further the destruction of Ukrainian national and cultural identity...(1/2)

Confederates, Nazis, Russia, Apartheid, Gilded Age fat cats, and Measles. We're in a comic book story where previously defeated villains come back and team up against the hero, like the Sinister Six v. Spider-Man. They're weakened by infighting, but in real life there's no guarantee the hero wins.

It would be really entertaining if a bunch of people started talking about gettint a $5k doge check with their tax refund. It would make Trump supporters feel like their daddy forgot about them.

Again, the loss of confidence in the US globally is going to lead to an increase in tactical nukes. The second order impacts of our choices will make the entire world less safe. t.co/xyx4sZXI4R

Good Luck with that. Half of Kentucky doesn't even realize Massie represents them...even they voted him into office in the first place.

The Trump administration keeps announcing what it’s afraid of, if anyone would just listen.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Elon Musk's AI chatbot says a 'Russian asset' delivered the State of the Union The chatbot Grok scoured available public data and found a '75-85% likelihood' that Donald Trump more or less works for Vladimir Putin. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Interesting theory...

Trump's speech was a relentless lie. And the groveling GOP couldn’t get enough. My column on a night of disgrace: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I'm sorry...I know Trump is saying words but this is all I see.

DOGE has quietly deleted the biggest “savings” it once celebrated — but its list of savings is still full of errors. Why DOGE’s data is so wrong, and why it matters. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

Thanks for finding and posting this, Jon!
