Upcoming Army policy change will allow them to discharge soldiers that require shaving profiles. Know who most often suffer from face bumps? Black men. Shit, unnecessary policy change clearly intended to target minorities. Fuck this administration.

Two Minnesota lawmakers will still have been assassinated, protesters will still have been run over in Culpeper, Proud Boys will still be wearing ICE uniforms...

BUT...

It shows there's still millions with hope in their hearts willing to take SOME action, even brave small action...

Hope persists

Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband have both died.

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole.

Why?

Because an algorithm said so. 1/

Disgusting reality

It’s been over a week. HOW are Hegseth and Waltz still serving?

It’s long past time for them to be fired or resign.

Trump fired at least three senior National Security Council officials at the urging of far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. The firings came a day after she provided a list of administration personnel she considered disloyal to him.

Liberation day 📉📉📉

March 30, 2025 On the Fox News Channel this morning, Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett said: “President Trump has a long run vision of a golden age of America and we’re working really, really h...

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations.

That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group.

This is corruption of the highest degree.

A federal judge barred the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence from firing intelligence officers who had been assigned to D.E.I. roles eliminated by the Trump administration, ruling that they should be given the opportunity to seek reassignment to other open positions.

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Pushback works, part gazillion:

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago.

Where have most of the gains gone? To the top.

Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity.

This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Republican congresswoman booed at a town hall in Indiana As with other town halls held by Republicans across the country, Congresswoman Victoria Spartz was met in her Indiana district by a group of angry constituents who challenged her on the decisions bein...

Republican Congresswoman Victoria Spartz just claimed at a town hall that people in America are not guaranteed the constitutional right to due process: “You break the law, you don't have due process.”

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has initiated legal action against Elon Musk for buying votes which violates Wisconsin’s election laws.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ ). The post reads: "Federal immigration authorities detained a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University. The government hasn’t filed any charges against Rumeysa Ozturk, who was in the U.S. on a student visa, her lawyer said. Read more: on.wsj.com/3E3AM0b." Below the text, there is an image showing a person in a hoodie detaining another person in a white coat and headscarf outside an apartment, with a car and another person in a cap nearby. The image caption reads: "off-campus apartment."

This should chill everyone in this country to the bone. All she did was write an OpEd the administration didn’t like. This is fascistic suppression of free speech.

A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.

Republicans want to fully repeal the estate tax.

This would result in a massive tax cut for the wealthiest families and further entrench an American aristocracy.

How will Republicans pay for it?

With major cuts to social programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

Trickle up economics.

RIP USAID — all remaining 900 employees will be fired.

A troubling pattern is emerging. As if Elon Musk didn’t already have enough power, he pressured Reddit’s CEO to censor content he didn’t like—pressure we hope Reddit will resist in the future.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?

The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

Social Security rushing service cuts at White House request, sources say Current and former employees, and advocates for retirees, have said the changes being made would strain an already struggling system.

The Trump administration is now ordering massive cuts to the Social Security Administration.

This could effectively block millions of Americans from getting the benefits they have earned.

Death threats against judges are rising — and instead of dialing it back, the GOP is doubling down.

Even after Chief Justice John Roberts called the push for impeachment “not appropriate,” Republicans are pressing ahead. Just this week, House Republicans moved to impeach six federal judges.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Jeffrey Goldberg and Pete Hegseth. One takes DOD protocols seriously:

Goldberg:

—Did not disclose sensitive information; and
—Left the chat when clear he was on chain (errantly) w/classified plans

We’ve asked Pee Wee amateurs to play in big leagues. Expect (a lot) more unforced errors.

Don’t drink and text.

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE:

-Website crashed 4 times in 10 days
-Phone lines are overwhelmed
-Staff being forced out
-Customer experience office eliminated
-SSA field offices on the chopping block

This is an attack on Social Security itself.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.
