I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first.

There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

WOW. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social wrote a PHENOMENAL essay that should be REQUIRED reading for -well, everyone- but particularly all those who find themselves BAFFLED by the fact that NOBODY seemed to know what powerful men were up to till the stories broke wide. harpers.org:2096/archive/2018... 1/3

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Hi y'all 👋🏽 Just thought I'd offer this: "Innocent until proven guilty" means that no one is sent to jail or officially penalized for a crime that is unproven. It doesn't mean that nothing changes for one who has been identified as a dangerous person.

In the battle of past versus present tense, I always choose APA over MLA.

“If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register Americans to vote at 18. Ask yourself why they won’t” Josh H.

I don't want them to be afraid of indictment. I want them to be afraid of a firing squad. I want them to know, in their bones, that indictment is the civilized, moderate consequence of their actions.

The last time the Olympics had widespread sex eligibility testing, the results were disastrous. Add social media to that fire now. Intersex athletes will not only have their lives upended, they'll be brutally targeted for harassment and potential violence. www.erininthemorning.com/p/under-new-...

What was so great about the past that the future is so bad about? Progress is to move forward not taking steps back to those evil days!

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!! You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

🚨 The SAVE Act isn’t about voter ID—it’s a weapon to reduce voter registration. Requiring a passport & birth certificate = voter suppression. This targets women, students, military families & low income citizens to help Trump win the midterms. ☎️ Call NOW—202-224-3121. #NoPayToVoteSaveAct

I wrote this essay about the private sector's exploitation of American concentration camps in July 2025. The situation has since advanced much further. snyder.substack.com/p/concentrat...

“This data belongs to the American people, who need to know what is being done in their name. Donald Trump, Russell Vought, Doug Burgum, and the rest of this corrupt administration are trying to use your public lands to erase history and undermine science.” Link to data: archive.org/details/nps-...

I know that everyone has a lot to think about right now, what with the Epstein files and the possibility of a world war. Still, if you are at all interested in teaching this is a really good article open.substack.com/pub/carlhend...

For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.

So glad to see more people writing about this!

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

I can't say how much I hope Jasmine Crockett defeats James talirico in the election. I think she is the real deal, a very genuine defender of democracy. People like her offer the greatest hope that the US will not slide further into fascism.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Happy Caturday, I'm staying warm with my reading buddy/book critic Jiji

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Because from the beginning, the mission was based on cruelty. www.cnn.com/2026/01/29/u...

Mr. President — warmest greetings from the entire UNITED24 team, our ambassadors, and donors around the world. May this birthday bring you closer to fulfilling all your dreams, and fill your days with joy, strength, and inspiration.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
