A Gutted Education Department’s New Agenda: Roll Back Civil Rights Cases, Target Transgender Students The Trump administration is subverting the traditional priorities of the department’s decimated civil rights office by making discrimination investigations practically impossible — instead enforcing i...

NEW: If you want to know how the Trump administration is dismantling civil rights enforcement in schools, and how that affects families, read this story from @jsmithrichards.bsky.social and @jodiscohen.bsky.social of @propublica.org.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown.

The most important thing you must share today.

Trump is destroying your life savings and ability to make a living for 1 reason: he wants to make us all beggars who bow to him, his donors and his family.

Not sure why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social hasn’t posted this here but can’t be posted enough.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

FACT: Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%, which is far lower than private sector retirement programs.

The cover to The Peanuts Movie: True Story Of includes such things as Snoopy fliying in an actual plane with doghouse textures, and random non-Peanuts characters in addition to Charlie Brown and Lucy done awkwardly.

Cover to The Best Story of Peanuts features Lucy in a zig-zag shirt, and a much of non-{eanuts characters with vaguely Peanuts faces. Really, cannot describe the horror. Sorry, my alt text pals!

Unlicensed Peanuts books released this month.
A.I. shall doom us all.

Travel from Canada is down 74%.....that's huge. We are your number one incoming travellers, visitors, vacations, bachelor/ettes. You blew it. Small Michigan Inns saying they will likely go bankrupt. Nashville suffering. How did you think we would react? He promised to be a dictator and..???? #Idiots

LOL.

Savage (but accurate I guess)

Also, another well written 'Big Story' from @wired.com 👏

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

URGENT: Join us in urging Governor Hochul NOT to ban face masks in New York! bit.ly/StopMaskBanNY

Criminalizing masks does NOT make New Yorkers safer. It puts our health at risk, enables racist enforcement, exiles some people with disabilities from society

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

Grimes Slaps ‘I Bought This Before Elon Went Crazy’ Sticker On Child

Letter signed by members of the Columbia History Department urging resistance to the Trump Administration's efforts to dictate university policy.

"Should this control be realized, here or elsewhere, it would make any real historical scholarship, teaching, and intellectual community impossible."

Five things I did last week …
1. Wake up
2. Brush my teeth
3. Sign autographs
4. Your mom
5. Donate my Elon Sux-mobile to NPR

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University.

Privatization you say? And it's not just Social Security. It's the VA, Medicare, Medicaid, the Postal Service, schools, the police, prisons, NASA, scientific research... They want to privatize everything.

Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs.

When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

My question is whether Wall Street understands that an important segment of the EV market customer base will not buy a Tesla at any price. It could teleport me places and I would not buy it. I would not drive one if you gave it to me for free.

Empathy is a requirement for civilization.

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.”

The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
