This is nothing short of digital hate crime.

The fog of war: Ceasefire w/Iranian blockade US adds blockade Iran fires at ships US fires, seizes Iranian ship Ceasefire fails Oil $ spikes “They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day!” Trump said. Bombing Rinse + Repeat

This is great news for Maryland. Surveillance pricing is just another way to gouge consumers and fatten the pockets of the greedy corporations. I hope other states follow suit. In the meantime, don’t shop those places. Small business when you can. #SheShed www.goodnewsnetwork.org/maryland-to-...

This means that HHS can no longer initiate investigations of gender clinics for trans youth based on the Kennedy declaration or try to terminate federal funding through Medicaid and Medicare. This is an unequivocal win for the 22 states that brought this suit to protect access.

i've been calling it an idiot toll booth. every single service has installed an idiot toll booth where, when you first encounter a product, it asks if you're an idiot. if you are, it charges you a ton of money. if you aren't, it makes you do tons of research to be charged slightly less money.

Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono names the people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump after they have donated to support his campaign and PACs in the Senate hearing on fraud. "I call it corruption." 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

We are being mocked by the world. Not just Iran, but around the world. Deserved - yes, but still, how embarrassing

Instead of prosecuting those in the #Epsetin files the DOJ wants to free those who attacked the Capitol while votes were being counted when Trump lost? WHY? #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein

This paper represents a small but deeply impressive and genuinely important achievement by the much maligned British state in what is probably the most important global issue of our era. Hear me out ( 🧵) 1/ www.aisi.gov.uk/blog/our-eva...

Immigrants can’t use the banking system. How to pay taxes? Transit app, Ticketmaster or anything your phone uses. Basically you’re not allowed to use a phone or ISP without risk. “controversial section allows for warrantless wiretaps of non-U.S. citizens to focus on immigration enforcement and ICE.”

I hate the all-party primary in California. I’d love to be able to cast a vote without having to worry whether a Democrat will be on the general ballot. We need to end this.

Incredible reporting here.

Bernie Sanders: “I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.” Go Bernie!

A U.S. citizen is speaking out after being detained in a Minnesota facility, exposing what he describes as "horrific" conditions.

Over and over again the research points to Gen X being politically reactionary. Perhaps folks should look into this more.

An excellent essay by a friend that hopefully will guide us in these troubling times. Conspiracy theories are actually helpful to elites that we believe are involved because it distracts us from the systems they use that are in plain view and obviously need reform. open.substack.com/pub/dietrick...

Breaking… Israel bombs eastern Lebanon Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic say Israeli forces have launched two raids on the towns of Machgharah and Sohmor in the eastern Bekaa Valley.

Elon Musk changed votes or deleted votes or did something to put Donald Trump in power so that Elon Musk investigations could be dismissed and so Donald Trump could be dismissed as well prove me wrong

Burning down warehouses is not the answer you think it is. While I strongly oppose violence, the message would be clearer if the CEOs were burned down. All this is going to do is cause suffering, encourage copycats, and lead to marshal law and the cancellation of the midterms.

Iran: We will blockade the straits of Hormuz if you attack us. Donald: No, WE will blockade the straits of Hormuz unless you surrender to us. Iran: Ok. That might save us some trouble tbh.

In 1996, an unlikely Cornish case secured a crucial workplace right for Trans+ people. Here’s the story behind it 👇

JUST IN: 🇹🇷🇮🇱 Turkey says Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's "current objective is to undermine ongoing peace negotiations." "Failing this, he risks being tried in his own country and is likely to be sentenced to imprisonment."

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 President Trump warns China will have "big problems" if it ships weapons to Iran.

"He's trying to cancel the Presidential Records Act. ... If dɯnɹꓕ gets away with this, it would allow him and his staff to destroy all of the evidence of their #corruption and misconduct before they leave office." — Liz Oyer @lawyeroyer.com #Politics #QuoteSky www.youtube.com/shorts/EGt5z...

Who launched the drones on the National Guard base in Kuwait yesterday? The IRGC denies it. Proxy in Iraq? Also, hours after the ceasefire Saudi Arabia said their critical east-west pipeline was hit limiting it by 700,000 barrels per day. Luckily JD Vance is a very experienced negotiator. /s

There’s no one who is immune from being thrown under the bus. Either they’re not longer MAGA or they are a RINO. The GOP members will read this article and hopefully realize this. All we need is 16 senators and this nightmare will end. Of course Vance might be worse but we will deal with that later.

Israel continues to use American bombs to do all they can to keep peace from breaking out. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

is that good?

A newly created anonymous account on Polymarket placed a $32,000 bet just 12 minutes before Donald Trump’s ceasefire announcement. When an anonymous trader makes a perfectly timed trade minutes before a market-moving presidential statement, it bears the hallmarks of insider trading.

Hey, Department of War, where is our $200 million drone? timesofindia.indiatimes.com/defence/inte...

NEW: Republicans refuse to recognize democrats on a war powers resolution

This is why Bondi was fired. So her testimony can be delayed. Good luck holding her in contempt. Assistant AG Patrick Davis: "because Ms. Bondi no longer can testify in her official capacity as AG, the Department's position is that the subpoena no longer obligates her to appear on April 14."

Y’all know how much bullshit is out there. Just watch what happens, not what is said. . In particular watch who Israel keeps bombing. If the bombs keep dropping the strait will at least be partly closed. Iran is going to slow walk our way back to 134 ships per day.

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Hmm… Pakistan says the agreement includes “Lebanon and elsewhere”. Oman welcomed the announcement, but other Gulf countries are reporting ongoing attacks from Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he supports Trump’s ceasefire announcement, but said the deal does not cover Lebanon.

As I said on MSNOW on Sunday, we need Democrats to be talking about and demanding the REMOVAL of Trump now! It doesn't matter there are not the votes in Senate to remove him--let Republicans go on record defending Trump's war crimes! More importantly Democrats should be taking fight to Trump now!
