Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

Here's one side of the street of some of the protestors in Salem Oregon ❤️🐸

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

America-hating Antifa showing up for a *second* time today.

This has been reported by many pilots in the Oregon/WA airspace for months now. I doubt it was targeting these helicopters specifically-it seemed more like people either not understanding how extremely dangerous this is-it can create a terribly unsafe situation.

I was having a similar thought yesterday as I was reviewing the Supreme Court's racial profiling shadow docket order, which--like so many of the Court's orders, as @sifill.bsky.social has pointed out--just substitutes their own nonsense for all the diligent, real fact-finding the trial court did

Reposted w/correct numbers!

Whatever you’ve been doing, STOP & LISTEN (read). This is happening on our soil in our name paid for with our tax dollars.
Every one of us should call our House members & Senators. 202-224-3121
And flood the call lines to Gov. DeSantis’ office: 850-717-9337

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.

We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Why?

Wasn't the whole point of DOGE to expose the waste, fraud, and abuse to the American public?

Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts."

(Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

RFK Jr. Humiliated at Congressional Hearing Omg, he admits it.

“I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me.”
— RFK Jr.,

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.

In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.

So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Accessibility as a core value For 18F, accessibility wasn’t just a requirement for shipping but a core value in how we approached each project as well as working as a team.

Whatever DOGE might hope, accessibility can’t be ignored. All of us will experience some form of disability in our lives, and following best practices for accessible design makes the experience of interacting with government better for everyone.

The media keeps fueling the myth of a fiscally responsible GOP When Republicans are allowed to lie freely in interviews, it’s no wonder so many Americans don’t know important facts.

Trump’s trade deficit is growing—and so is the myth that Republicans are fiscally responsible. The media keeps letting GOP leaders lie unchecked, while Americans miss the basic facts they deserve to know. @joshlevs.bsky.social explains

I the lower center is a camas lily, which is a single seemed flower with two blooming blue/purple flowers and a few buds. Behind the lily is a light green moss covered rock that fills most of the back ground. The top quarter of the back ground is blurred with light filtered through trees far off in the vack ground.

Spring is wonderful.

It was always performative outrage.

North Carolina Supreme Court throws out hundreds of ballots based on flawed data This is a special collaboration between Popular Information and Anderson Alerts, a newsletter about North Carolina politics.

1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court

The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina

But that claim is false

We have receipts

Once again sharing this info.

Please share with your friends and loved ones in the National Guard or active duty military.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Every hundred years

My kid has a bleeding disorder and we just received an email from the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation that yesterday "nearly all staff within the CDC’s Division of Blood Disorders and Public Health Genomics" will be fired, so fuck you, RFK Jr, and all the senators who approved his nomination.

Ezra Levin of Indivisible talks to Jen Rubin On the swell of organized, collective action we're seeing nationwide and the upcoming Keep Your Hands Off protest on April 5

"Democracy is not a spectator sport. It’s a participatory sport. Not only can you do it, but you must do it." @ezralevin.bsky.social spoke with Jen on the swell of collective action we're seeing nationwide & the upcoming ‘Keep Your Hands Off’ protest

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party.

This is just fantastic.

Perhaps the most concise way to think about this is that Musk has pranced around bragging about cracking down on fraud and abuse, finding the bad guys. Meanwhile what he's actually done is enable perhaps the biggest splurge of fraud and tax cheating in history. For him and his pals.

Tesla, Big Oil have a weakness in common They're way behind the technological curve

While Musk was making a fool of himself politically, the Chinese were making a fool of him technologically--five minute charging for EVs!

How the Other Half Suffers Affluent ignorance has allowed tuberculosis to flourish, argues a new book.
