If you're under the age of 54, you've never seen a picture of the earth taken with you on it.

For first time ever, Army chief of chaplains fired — by Hegseth baptistnews.com/article/for-...

www.cnn.com/2026/04/03/p...

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

Just a day after her firing, former attorney general Pam Bondi’s pictures have been taken down — and thrown in a trash bin, MS NOW reports www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “The Trump administration has quietly killed an effort that would have helped secure America’s future in the crucial semiconductor industry,” writes German Lopez.

So instead of taking a lesson from finally hearing what people are saying when he’s not getting special treatment, he took the opportunity to sow more divisiveness Nice guy

Bike and walking trails lose hundreds of millions under Trump

On Tuesday night, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors pressed the sheriff about the details in this story. Sheriff Martinez says she doesn’t have enough staff to investigate every allegation at every detention center. More: calmatters.org/justice/2026... 📸 Adriana Heldiz

Records show the agency has ceded control of the cases to civilian administrators employed by the nation’s largest for-profit prison contractor.

The local leaders of the union representing TSA workers characterized the ICE officers in airports as unhelpful and a distraction. “It doesn’t address the problem, and it’s not going to work,” said Everett Kelley, the national president of AFGE.

A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days. Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

“Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.” @slack2thefuture.bsky.social

Sen. Cynthia Lummis keeps a fairly low profile but on Jan 6 she was one of only 8 Senators to vote against certifying electoral votes. And her phone records were then subpoenaed in the Jan 6 investigation for very good reason. It's big for her to break with Trump now. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The NFL defeats an antitrust lawsuit brought by fans who argued the league should let NFL teams operate official pages on Bluesky. The judge says they can read that content on X. There's no legal right to reading about an NFL team on any particular website. I discuss for @sportico.bsky.social:

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

I think my favorite (derogatory) thing about Schumer’s “strongly worded letters” is that I *literally* wrote a strongly worded letter and helped change the course of history in Minnesota back in 2012, and this wrinkled prune keeps bending over backwards to let fascists rearrange his insides

They have now removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall Inn. Erasure. Just like the Nazis. gaycitynews.com/trump-rainbo...

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

So the President of the United States of America is posting to his personal social media network blatantly fake news videos that I'm pretty sure are AI generated slop. This one is supposedly about Gavin Newsom panicking that Walmart is pulling out of California (it's not).

👀 Judge Magnuson, the one federal judge in Minnesota who has sided with the Trump administraton's detention policies, reject's ICE's indefinite detention of a Somali woman — who had a stroke while in custody. She was admitted as a refugee two years ago. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Supercharging this law enforcement agency and at the same time you have oversight being eliminated?” said a former DHS official. “This is very scary.” (Published Oct. 2025)

When authorities used ICE's facial recognition app on a detained woman, it returned two different and incorrect names, raising serious questions about the accuracy of the app. Officials have said the app is better than a birth certificate. www.404media.co/ices-facial-...

New YouGov poll: Abolish ICE is now at a *record high* level of support in the United States 46% support 41% oppose Independents are +12 on abolishing ICE 19% of Republicans now support abolishing ICE as well

About 20 or so hours too late, by @nytimes.com has finally taken our “appears to” out of this headline. For finding their spine, even if late, they should be commended because the bar is so so low.

Those blaming failure to "reduce tensions" by telling protestors to stay home want you to be ok with/forget that masked federal thugs just murdered a man in broad daylight It's not a time to reduce tension. It's a time to stand up in overwhelming numbers They SHOULD be afraid of what happens next

THREAD: 404 Media has been covering ICE and the technology they've been using to surveil and raid "targets", detain people based on a flawed facial recognition app, and lie about violence on the streets. They have established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

Now that they have repeatedly murdered citizens of Minnesota, disappeared who knows how many people, including children, and terrorized the populace, Bondi is trying to shake Walz down for voter data. Unfuckingbelievable. Fuck jail. We need treason charges and the death penalty for all involved.

'Get the truth out about our son' say family of man shot dead by federal officer

A 29-year-old man was arrested Friday after police said he assaulted Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., at the Sundance Film Festival. https://ow.ly/8FFS50Y31RB

Yeah this is just what his communications team wants right now

“Todd Blanche ADMITS he had a hand in moving Ghislaine Maxwell, which required a waiver of her sex offender status… Epstein survivor Annie Farmer says there are likely ADDITIONAL FBI reports about Trump that were NOT released.” @muellershewrote.com bsky.app/profile/muel... bsky.app/profile/ronf...

A federal judge has blocked the Trump admin's effort to strip attorney Mark Zaid's security clearance. Zaid represented a whistleblower whose complaint led to Trump's first impeachment.

Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business

"'We request that the government pause apprehension activities during the Christmas season. Such a pause would show a decent regard for the humanity of these families.' The White House did not mention the holiday season in its rejection of the Bishops' request..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.
