Noem thinks habeas corpus is the president’s constitutional right to remove people from the country.

Trump?

Thinks Habeas is a person.

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

Friday afternoon haiku- because the news is that dumb:

Jobs numbers are down
Forget the data Trump says
Fire the messenger!

Epstein and Trump were friends
Raping children was well known
But Don’t hire the help?

Trump wants to distract
Hillary! Obama! War!
It is all a con.

Covered countless press conferences in 20+ yrs in journalism. I've seen critics, including elected officials, show up to question/confront speakers. I've never seen anything like this in response.

I have it and love it! Depends on the local PBS station if it’s five dollars a month. Example here in Colorado it’s five but in Charlotte, NC it’s ten. Still totally worth it.

Portland man, 74, turns first Boston Marathon into a race to save Alzheimer’s research Ralph Carmona, a 74-year-old Portland man who has Alzheimer's, says he is a living example of the value of medical research.

Some people you meet are truly awe-inspiring. Ralph Carmona is one of them, and with health research cutbacks, he sends a timely and important message. @kffhealthnews.org @doraannemills.bsky.social @tlazarczyk.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.pressherald.com/2025/04/12/r...

Generation X debut album released on this day in 1978. An album I eagerly awaited the release of and it’s a cracker. I especially liked the song ‘Kiss Me Deadly’; The lyrics feel a bit like a ‘Punk West Side Story’ 👌

The Empire is striking back, but we know how this story unfolds.
The Resistance stands firm & grows. Those who were trampled by the powers of darkness joined & fought back.
We are #AltGov, and we are here to help.
The fight has only just begun.

More fun with great friends

#AltGov: the secret network of federal workers resisting Doge from the inside Government employees fight the Trump administration’s chaos by organizing and publishing information on Bluesky

A rare moment of good in this week's news.
When gov works with the people instead of against them, great things can be done. Thank you all for your support. Together is how we get through this. 🫶

It’s CNN. I already pay for cable.
Who said anything about musicians?

Can’t read more without paying. Not paying.

Good messaging

I see she got rid of her cross. It must have started burning a hole in her skin.

Colorado Springs people voted but the City Council feels they were to stupid to understand what they voted for. There is now another vote of same issue in a special election April 1st in the hopes that the vote will now go the CCs way. Can’t make this shit up. How is this legal?

So the drug addict who now runs the Treasury Department just struck a financial services deal with Visa. Nice.

Not only did Trump not release more water that would be useful to firefighters in LA, the water he did release was actually reserved for central valley farmers (who mostly voted for Trump) and will now go to waste instead of their farms.

Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral The World War II-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

There is so much you can do to slow down the creep.

Darren Beattie was FIRED by the first Trump administration as a speech writer for being an actual true white nationalist. He was hired today by the state department for a high level position. He tweeted this in October. Nothing to see here, nope.

Anyone surprised?

They didn’t. It was the Secret Service looking for someone near the school.

UPDATE: A Denver Public Schools memo urges families to opt out of school directories that can be accessed by law enforcement and to identify those who can pick up their child "if a parent or guardian cannot." #copolitics
