NEW: META comms guy claims the takedown of the No Kings Instagram account during the largest early vote action in history was a simple error. I call BS. I’ll be speaking with @ezralevin.bsky.social at 4:20 PT (in 20 minutes) on Substack. Join the conversation: muellershewrote.com
NO KINGS' main focus: PROMOTING EARLY VOTING/VOTER TURNOUT/ELECTION PROTECTION ahead of midterms.
By taking down No Kings' Instagram acct at this crucial moment organizers lost their ability to coordinate logistics, broadcast safety updates, & amplify live turnout.
Meta:"automated system error." 🤷🏻♂️
Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done.
Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.
The two most plausible explanations for this most dangerous move are:
1) Trump plans to sell this extremely valuable information to foreign states and make billions and billions.
2)The US is run by an agent of a foreign country that desperately needs this information.
I grew up hearing and believing lazy rhetoric about “tax and spend liberals.” It should be clear to everyone that bomb and spend faux conservatives are a much more dangerous, callous, and budget-busting breed.

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters.
A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself.
This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.
Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.
Personal note: I was drawn to write this thread because my great-great-grandmother was a professional photographer in Texas around 1900. She, too, chose photography out of economic necessity after her husband abandoned her and her young daughter. She also made stunning portraits of her own daughter.
They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.
QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter
JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm
FABER: Got nothing to say?
CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah.
FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go
Doug Burgum my house is powered by solar and this screen shot was taken at 5:14 pm today. My system produced 47.9 kWh and I’ve used 7.4 kWh today. If you look down at the bottom my battery has enough energy to run my home for the next 18 hours. Solar is the way you lying moron.
BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity
HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery
They told you they would.
This administration is literally trying to kill off the most vulnerable.
36% of those on Medicaid in CA are children, 40% are births, 12% are seniors (including hospice/homecare), and 8% are people with disabilities.
Inhumane and Unconscionable.
Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this.
I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.
Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

Listen to this. The Trump regime had so much fun manipulating the stock market with up, down, up, down, pause, on again, up, pause & insider trading, they're doing it now with the Hormuz Strait with lies about it being open, lies

The plane to Ethiopia below is the second private jet owned by MAGA billionaires Joe Nakash and Eli Gindi to do ICE charters. The other one, which I wrote about last month, did a third-country removal to an Eswatini prison, plus ICE stops in Liberia and Ghana. gillianbrockell.com/more-maga-bi...
UPDATE: The small jet that departed Phoenix, AZ yesterday afternoon has just landed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This likely marks the 1st deportation to Ethiopia since at least 2020 when tracking began.

A. Philip Randolph was born on this day in 1889 in Crescent City, Fla. He was a trailblazing labor leader and civil rights activist who is often called the “Father of the Civil Rights Movement. He pioneered the use of mass nonviolent protest to influence federal policy. /1
This follows the EPA already moving to roll back key mercury emission limits from coal plants earlier this year. It’s a clear pattern of putting coal industry interests ahead of public health protections.
There are kids who live near these sites.
There are wells that draw from these aquifers.
There are rivers that run past these plants into communities that have no idea this rule even exists.
The cost savings go to the coal companies. The risk is shifted to everyone else.
Hawaii has not recovered from the flooding a few weeks ago. Now they are facing more catastrophic flooding.
Where’s FEMA?

“In order for us..to commit ourselves personally to the inhumanity of war, we find it necessary first to dehumanize our opponents, which is..a violation of the beliefs of all religions. Once we characterize our adversaries as beyond the scope of God's mercy..their lives lose all value”

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations.
A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes.
We are completely lost.
It has always been wild to me how the GOP’s alleged concern abt anti-semitism has been given a good-faith treatment by lots of media.
You know, the party led by Christian chiliasts who think the end-game for Jews is convert or go to hell after Israel’s existence triggers Armageddon.
That GOP.
There’s good historical reason to worry that an authoritarian government leader collecting a registry of Jews, under the pretext of protecting Jews, while that leader has referred to Jews as “disloyal,” may not end up so well for The Jews. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...
FYI trumps executive order is illegal and the GOP congressmen who know it are spineless and won’t say a word. Despite spending years complaining about Obamas executive orders
ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.
Macroeconomic policy, or soap opera?
Court rules Trump's case against Fed Chair Powell is dead. Tillis says he won't confirm Trump's pick if White House appeals. White House appeals. Current Fed Chair's term ends soon. What next? Tune in for the next season of Fed's Anatomy.
This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
Additional 5,000 from the Pacific are en routet to the middle east. With the recent Kharg strikes I think there is a significant possibility of them trying to seize the island
Gonna be forreal I think a Marine getting killed on camera by a drone is going to be VERY bad for US national psyche
For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.
In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.
The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.
Who's the "WE" making "a lot of money" from skyrocketing gas prices, Trump?
It's definitely not the Americans struggling to pay an extra $1.5 billion at the pump this week.
Barely two weeks into Trump's war with Iran, gas prices are surging — up an average 65 cents nationally.
Americans keep footing the bill for this failed president's incompetence.
In a 30 min bombardment at Neuve Chapelle in 1915 the British Army expended more shells than they had in the entire Boer War
In one day each field gun fired 17 days worth of the UK’s factory output.
When the men & women who were there tell us how costly, futile & terrible war is, we should listen
Apparently the USA used about two and a half years of their recent new supply of Tomahawks in the first 100 hours of this conflict
