71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.

After generations of struggle and sacrifice, the supreme law of the land finally bent toward hard-won justice.

Serial killer Glen Rogers' last words were "President Trump, keep making America great."

"The racism dog whistle here is a bullhorn." Trump said he wants a refugee policy in America's interest, which just happens to be nobody except...white South Africans? @timmiller.bsky.social:

not saying China doesnโ€™t have a ton of structural problems as a global economic superpower but it is still punishingly funny that Trump and bunch of his MAGA deputies had psyched themselves into believing that in this kind of shambolic massive trade war, China wouldnโ€™t immediately get the upper hand

Donald Trump is going after small donor fundraising platforms that support progressive candidates, because he knows that while he might have the billionaires, we have the people on our side.

How a Judge Tells a President to F**k Off I read a lot of court documents, and I like to highlight some from time to time that really encapsulate the moment we find ourselves in. The latest from the 4th Circuit does it perfectly.

What Trump's tariff shock will cost you. Economist Justin Wolfers on the nostalgic fantasy that's driving the president's tariff upheaval.

@justinwolfers.bsky.social teaches economics 101 at the University of Michigan. He wishes Trump attended.

This week, with our friends at @revealnews.org, Wolfers discusses how not only does Trump's tariff plan betray the most basic laws of economics, but could very well tip the US into a recession.

Chart from Center for American Progress, showing how Trump tax cuts overwhelmingly benefit the rich

According to the Yale Budget Lab, 70% of the benefits from the Republican budget would go to the richest 5%. Meanwhile, the bottom 40% gets stuck with the bill.

That's like taking your latest paycheck and dropping it off at the nearest McMansion

He keeps saying this; I'm no a snob about what "normal people" don't know but I do wonder if his target audience knows that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid did not exist before income taxes and wouldn't have been possible.

CBO finds that DOGE failed to achieve measurable savings in March.

At first glance, spending fell $38B (7%) compared to last year. But March began on a Saturday so payments that normally go out in March went out in Feb

After adjusting, spending *rose* $45B (8%) compared to March 24.
