Portland is not war ravaged.

Chicago doesn’t need to be “saved”.

Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for Medicaid.

People should not have to “prove they matter” to get healthcare.

ICE should not be allowed to cover their faces.

This shutdown is being done to save healthcare.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

#iPhone 17 pro kicks butt with #AI features turned off. Are there any that make them worth turning on??

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 cannot stress enough how incredibly dangerous this is!!! Courts are slow but they are just now building cases that will likely lead to holding the administration in contempt and this language is designed to keep them from being able to enforce it!!!! This is an ALL HANDS ON DECK EMERGENCY!!🚨🚨🚨

This Tornado Mayhem Was a Warning As hurricane season looms, the effects of DOGE cuts on the U.S. forecasting and alert system are a new menace.

As hurricane season looms, the effects of DOGE cuts on the U.S. alert system are a new menace, writes @juliettekayyem.bsky.social. “A nation best prepares for a crisis not by ignoring it and hoping it never happens, but by anticipating it and planning for it.”

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

He's also the president who killed things like this.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

McBride: If we summon our hope then we will find the light and turn this moment into what a friend from Florida once called a slingshot moment.. where we are pulled backwards but the tension and pressure of being pulled backwards ultimately propels us to destinations that we have not yet been

NEW: Fourth Circuit shoots down the Trump administration’s efforts to appeal Judge Xinis’s order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

“We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”

Opinion | The Emergency Is Here Trump is disappearing people to a Salvadoran prison for terrorists. And he says he wants to send “homegrown” Americans there next.

“What the Trump administration is doing is acting as a quasi judiciary. They’re rounding up people and effectively being judge, jury and executioner,” Asha Rangappa tells Ezra Klein.

Days after a Louisiana judge ruled to allow the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil to proceed, and just hours after ICE abducted Columbia student and green card holder Mohsen Mahdawi, thousands held an emergency Passover Seder outside the ICE headquarters in New York City last night.

How Musk and Trump Are Working to Consolidate Government Data About You Elon Musk’s team is leading an effort to link government databases, to the alarm of privacy and security experts.

The federal government knows your mother’s maiden name, your bank account number, the student debt you hold and more. President Trump and Elon Musk are trying to connect these records, raising the prospect of creating a kind of data trove about Americans that the government has never had before.

17 Montana Republicans Cross Party Lines, Defeat Anti-Trans Bill After Nonbinary Rep's Speech Representative Howell delivered a speech against SB164, a bill that would charge parents with child abuse for providing gender affirming care even if they were merely driving through the state.

1. Major victory in Montana.

17 Republicans crossed party lines after a strong speech from Representative Howell to defeat a bill that would have charged parents, even those passing through the state, with felony child endangerment for their trans youth.

Claim by the White House:

The Supreme Court ruling made it “very clear” that Trump was “well within his constitutional authority” to carry out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

What the Supreme Court actually ruled:

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Trump’s Jewish Cover Story The administration claims to be protecting Jews while advancing an agenda that most Jews oppose.

"Donald Trump and his allies have been using 'anti-Semitism' as a pretext to advance a radical agenda that has nothing to do with Jews at all—and that most American Jews do not support," @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes:

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

What Will You Do? What’s your “I am Spartacus” move to protect the more vulnerable, the targeted, the invisibled, the next-on-the-list?

As the U.S. revokes hundreds of visas to suppress activism, Kaveh Akbar writes beautifully and the pervasive fear--and the need to protect the rights of the most vulnerable. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.

Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.

We cannot stay silent.

Amen!
