Federal agents raided a large cannabis farm in Southern California, clashing with protesters and arresting multiple people, the latest confrontation in a state that has become a flashpoint for President Trump’s immigration agenda. https://trib.al/O2aFLYj

"i wish we'd called it out more clearly when it happened"

i don't know
"It seems that @ elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a nazi salute"
seems pretty clear to me

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Remember in “The Giver” when the main character starts to see thru the programming and brainwashing that he lived his whole life? Yea that’s how I felt to have my eyes opened to everything in this country the last few years.

Something to think about

Started playing Pokémon Scarlet and I’m addicted… mind u, I haven’t played a Pokémon game since probably 15 years ago… I’m loving it.

Terrific, sobering article from @alexhh.bsky.social. It's frankly terrifying to see the mounting evidence of censorship and repression in "the home of the free", underscored by eliminating the VoA, set up in 1942 to counter Nazi and Japanese propaganda. Trump is shutting out the truth.

‘The Interview’: Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat The Senate minority leader discusses the backlash to his vote on the Republican spending bill, how he sees his role within the party and his new book.

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents.

He is a traitor who needs to resign.

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"

Pokémon is still such a huge thing these days it’s kinda crazy to think about how long it’s been around and how it never went out of style..

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Black Borrowers Face Uncertain Future with Student Loan Repayments The administration wants to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education, which oversees a $1.7 trillion portfolio of student loans.

Roughly 44 million Americans have student loan debt. Many are worried about what President Donald Trump’s assault on the U.S. Department of Education, which oversees a $1.7 trillion portfolio of student loans, might mean for their livelihoods.

Trump insisted Obama was born in Africa and now has a guy who's literally from Africa running everything. It's almost as if it was just racism. It's always just racism.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Arthur C. Clarke

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

Ian Bremmer: egypt president sisi saying he’ll cancel white house trip of displacement of palestinians on the agenda. most aggressive (by a long margin) any foreign leader has been with trump since inauguration. opposite of what trump was expecting in press conference with jordan king abdullah yesterday. would kill trump gaza plan. presumedly trump announces end of us aid, gulf states step in. watch this space…

So Sisi is threatening to call off his White House meeting if Trump continues to push for Palestinian displacement.

This comes after the Jordan king said after meeting Trump that he “reiterated Jordan’s steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians."

DOGE Ransacks NOAA, Raising Fears About Privatization of Climate Data Right-wing climate denialists accuse the National Weather Service of promoting alarmism over the climate crisis.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "On Jan 6 2021, Republicans essentially decided that they'd given up on democracy... Most Republicans are very consciously looking the other way as Trump & Musk seize control of the government because they absolutely see it as a mechanism by which they can crush dissent."
