I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

I fell in love again / all things go, all things go / Pope’s from Chicago / all things know, all things know

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

Proud of you, Canada 🇨🇦 and Australia 🇦🇺 with love from your American allies.

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury.

This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

The House passed legislation to prohibit federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, marking a significant step in an escalating Republican campaign targeting judges who have blocked some of Trump’s executive orders.

And no one in America doubts why he's doing this.

Having to attempt to do work in the bad place over the past week has been legitimately horrifying and awful... except for a few choice homemade signs and White Lotus takes.

3.5 million Americans turned out yesterday. Not one capitol building stormed, not one police officer assaulted.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

Your triumphant return is one of the best things to happen on social media this year.

Trump executive order boosts proof of citizenship requirements for voting in federal elections | CNN Politics President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday seeking to boost proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration, which critics say could disenfranchise poor and older voters who don...

This is the biggest news of the last 24 hours—not the Signal Scandal.

Trump watchers have long said that early in his presidency he would begin a push to utterly destroy the U.S. voting system and disenfranchise millions and millions of voters.

Here we go.

Raskin: "There's an absolute attack on the Constitution taking place by an administration which views the Constitution as just inconvenient furniture that's gotta be kicked out of the way."

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

America's message to Elon Musk... in LEGO.

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

America’s clean air rules boost health and the economy − here’s what EPA’s new deregulation plans ignore Clean air has become one of America’s best investments, returning $10 for every $1 spent on regulations, by one estimate.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth.

An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.

No pay wall.

Poor piggy. Animals are too good to be portrayed as fat ugly fascist dicks masquerading as human beings.

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
