The way things are going these days, it's going to be tough to distinguish between actual events and April Fools' Day pranks.

If you're unable to attend a No Kings march in person, consider registering for and attending Stand Up for Science's online No Kings Virtual & Accessible Rally today (Saturday, 3/28, 1:30-3pm. I'll be there. Register at tr.ee/nk3ar. #NK3AR

Don't let the SpaceX or Reflect Orbital satellites ruin our night sky, scientific research, or ecology. Take a few minutes and let your voice be heard. bsky.app/profile/phil...

I'm so glad I retired. I passed the DOJ building on my walk to and from work. It would be soul searing to walk by this each day. bsky.app/profile/demo...

“it’s always a choice when journalists decide to clean up quotes – or not. It’s always revealing which politicians have “uh” or “um” removed...For instance, how often does the mainstream media let Donald Trump’s words speak for themselves?" Today’s First Draft email, on the media's coverage of AOC:

When listening to someone speaking extemporaneously, we ignore normal hesitations, etc. and attend to what's being said. Granted, what remains may still be bewildering (e.g., Trump). That wasn't the case here. The NYT should have reflected AOC's actual statement. bsky.app/profile/samy...

Get ready for the primaries. Make sure you're registered to vote. Given some of the changes being made, also make sure you know your voting options and where to vote. Your vote is important! bsky.app/profile/npr....

Thank you for posting the WSL and NWSL schedules in this format each week. It makes it so much easier to figure out how and where to watch each match.

Thank you for making the alt text available.

What a powerful reminder of what today is really about. Thank you. I added my name.

@vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov - as a constituent, please put forward a censure motion on Tuberville. Dehumanizing people makes it that much easier to take inhumane actions against them. Even if Republicans won't let the motion pass, it's imperative and important that you tried.

Listen, @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social address this flagrant, insulting & incendiary racism. Where is the censure motion? Stop jumping at every smear against Mamdani. Focus on what a U.S. Senator is saying abt a key part of your base. www.al.com/politics/202...
