Trump and Hegseth learning in real time that sovereign countries are a lot harder to intimidate than battered wives and United States senators… Not the same thing.

They’re not attacking Hezbollah, they’re killing Lebanese people. Just as they weren’t attacking Hamas, they were massacring Palestinians. Israel is a murderous rogue state.

New video shows ICE lied about the shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis. An ICE agent claimed that three attackers beat him with a shovel and broom for three minutes before he opened fire, but new video shows that never happened. Charges against Julio Sosa-Celis have been dropped.

According to this, the ICE flight to DRC last month wasn't a third-country removal -- just a "regular" deportation of migrants into a humanitarian crisis via private jet -- but third-country removals will begin soon. I'll be watching air traffic closely. apnews.com/article/cong...

My neighbor Martín just got picked up by ICE on his way to work. He’s 60, fighting leukemia, works 2 construction jobs to support his family in Mexico. For 4 years he grilled nopales for our building every Sunday, never forgot my birthday, looked out for everyone.

Commentary: Colorado leaders must prepare for an all-hands, comprehensive defense of the state’s democratic systems, with the understanding that Trumpist attempts to steal elections will be brazen, unpredictable and involve physical intimidation.

A massive developer tried to steamroll a small PA town of 7,500 people. They didn't realize who they were messing with. 🏛️ The council vote was 5-0, the leadership was ousted, and the "institutional manipulation" failed. This is how you fight back: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-ruined-...

Stop kicking it, it’s Dead already Jim! Let it be, let it be dead, gone, forgotten without regret! For we have seen this, time and again. History from ancient times to today, oligarchs raised the flags of autocracy, hate, bigotry the superior race doctrines in ultimate Greed of power and wealth!

People have been getting gunned down in the streets standing up against Ice alone. Just saying.

The worst of the worst? Uh-huh. The cruelty is the point. "Ms. Ramos... teaches Sunday school to children at her church...She was in her high school’s marching band. And she was a few months from finishing a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry." Gift Article 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

The wife of an Army staff sergeant, who is set to train for deployment, was taken from a military base where the couple planned to live. ICE agents had entered the base and detained Annie Ramos.

Dear #USA your President decided to share foul language and war-crime threats on Easter Sunday. He doesn’t appear to have been to Church, prayed or reflected on the good he could do instead. He’s not currently demonstrating Christian Values. Oh, & he’s in 1000’s of documents in the #Epstein Files.

Renting in New York shouldn't be a rip off. In our first 100 days in office, here's some of what we've done to fix that.

Satellite firm Planet Labs to indefinitely withhold Iran war images reut.rs/4bP1oRi

This is the truest truth of all the truths (and there aren't many).

Biruté Galdikas, authority on orangutans, has died. She was one of ‘Leakey’s Angels. Along with Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall, Dr. Galdikas, 79, made ground-breaking discoveries about one of humankind’s closest primate relatives. By Casey Parks Gift link! @caseyparks.bsky.social

In 2024, Biden debuted a pilot program called Direct File that could have made tax filing easy and free for most American taxpayers. Trump killed it. It was a way to make life a little better for a lot of Americans. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/o...

Given the report that Iran is getting plenty of imagery from China, this is likely an attempt to prevent visibility on how significant the damage is on the US side.

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

The Thwaites glacier has roughly 80km left. Some estimates suggest a melt rate causing collapse by 2100. Some Alaskan glaciers started collapsing at 8km per year. Then an Antarctic glacier collapsed by 8km in 2 months If such a collapse happens on Thwaites, that’s 3m global sea level rise by 2035

Israel killed 3 Indonesian UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon. They were wearing blue helmets. They were in UN uniforms. They were peacekeepers. Israel bombed them anyway. Not a peep in Western media. Not a word from the international community. Kick Israel out of the UN.

It really blows my mind that for my entire life, folks struggling to get by have to eat gruel and wear burlap sacks in order to "deserve" any kind of assistance, but we've got more billionaires than ever before and are gonna have trillionaires soon enough.

A Massachusetts criminal justice bill would provide resentencing or pretrial diversion to people whose actions were directly related to experiences of abuse. Passing it “would be the beginning of restoration,” says one incarcerated survivor.

We told you.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

We need to end this court and start over. Yes, I'm serious. A simple majority of Congress can zero the Court's budget and force them all to resign. Then start over with serious rules. These are among the most important jobs in the country. We need constitutional scholars not bribed hacks in robes.

Donald Trump wants to spend $1.5tn on 'Defense'. $1.2tn would provide Universal Healthcare. No more stupid wars and no more poverty and death. Get a President who will choose Healthcare and not War.

The White House has traded dreams of a free Tehran for the cliché of pulverization. By threatening to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, Trump ignores a culture that finds glory in defeat, setting a course where the only path to American victory is the total ruin of an ancient nation. Or, worse.

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

In 1957, at 15 y/o, Dorothy Counts walked through hatred with her head held high. Her steps helped pave the way for future generations to sit in classrooms that once tried to shut them out. We honor her bravery. We remember her resilience. #BlackWomensHistoryMonth
