As we spend the last gasps of potable water on pricks with processors just remember the class they aspire to has long left workers dying of thirst and quite literally. A budget is a moral choice.

Incredible to teach with this edition. It has a fiery, excellent introduction by Aristide and the entirety of Louverture’s 1803 Memoirs, which he wrote in prison in France. Also dozens is other letters, docs, and proclamations, including the 1801 Constitution. (In English translation)

A 93% spike isn’t a ‘trend’ - it’s a stick-up. Gas is a ransom. Carbon is a conflict mineral. Fossil fuels are war. Renewables are the only real declaration of independence. Stop being vassal states. Move decisively to cut the cord.

At the #PENLitAwards, we took the chance to ask some of the best writers around to share (if they would) their best (and their worst) writing advice. Here's what we heard. #writing #writers #writingadvice

A nonprofit program in Kansas City believes songwriting can help teens through mental health challenges. We'll stop by Rebel Song Academy to hear how students are finding their calm through music.

TMZ setting up in DC to follow politicians around is FINALLY the appropriate lowbrow "news" coverage this administration has merited all along.

A protester for using their first amendment right is often beaten and arrested But a warmonger with thousands of deaths caused by their actions never even sees hand cuffs

Earlier this evening: dozens of people gathered in Chicago's far north side Rogers (Phillip) Park in support of an 18-year-old Mather High School student and his mother, who, according to the student's older brother, were abducted from the Chicago immigration court at Ida B. Wells Drive in March.

I am entirely serious that any Democratic contender for the presidency must commit to tearing down this, the ballroom, and anything else he manages to inflict on DC before his brain deliquesces entirely

Guess who's winning the war? "The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran..."

What Henry VIII tore apart, Trump is mending

If white American evangelical churches witness an exodus of members thanks to the pious lunacy of our Secretary of Dick Swinging War Crime Lethality and the shitposting of President Billionaire Racist McCheese Jesus, then they’ll have no one but themselves to blame.

Remove Trump now. Impeach, convict, imprison.

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US to marry her 1950s sweetheart is being held in a crowded detention centre in Louisiana after she was arrested by immigration agents and cuffed by her hands and feet.

Again, this story isn’t going away!!!

With 150GW solar, India achieved its target of having 50% of its total installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, reaching this milestone 5 years ahead of its original 2030 deadline set under the Paris Agreement www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/10/i...

So, Park Police did this. They were hi-speed chasing someone who was ON FOOT and they rammed into a civilian vehicle absolutely destroying it, crashing through a stop sign, another parked car, over the sidewalk, through a home's fence and retaining wall and into their front yard. At 13th & MD NE.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

We found out several things during the wait. 1) target uses AI for theft prevention which often falsely targets people. 2) they purposly don't notify you if you don't scan all items in a self checkout lane. 3) if u hit the ok button on the self checkout and you miss an item they say thats stealing

it just lifts my heart to feel heard. thanks, ICE lawyer. 💜

After a two year court battle, Sniper 1 can finally be identified as Keaton Siebenaler. KCUR and the Midwest Newsroom have confirmed he departed the Joplin Police Department in August and graduated from the MSHP academy last week.

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

Assuming you’re out of the woods is a good way to let yourself be shocked upon eventually finding out the woods are not through with your ass yet.

Waking up to the awe-inspiring images from NASA at the same time the US President is implying that he will commit genocide, I can't think of a better quote for the times than this one from Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. I added it to today's Earthset image:

NOT A JOKE. An actual list of atrocities.

Which is why the president should not be the president anymore.

I can't stop staring at these photos. This is what Earthset looks like—our homeworld setting behind the Moon. And compare the dark, cratered surface of the Moon to the blue oceans and swirling clouds on our own planet. If there's a starker illustration of our lifegiving world, I've yet to see it.

A country that has sold us cop dramas in between the evening news and the nightly news, themselves a casserole of crime, sport, and weather but no investigation into how our locales are complicit in a police state.

She went to jail in Texas for an abortion. Yes. Jail. In a country that once called itself free. And who made this possible? The Supreme Court. They didn’t just overturn a ruling they weaponized women’s bodies, turned private choices into criminal acts,

Great call. It’s not like we’re hosting the World Cup

ARTEMIS II: “Starting our return trajectory.” MISSION CONTROL: “The President is on the line for you! *long silence* ARTEMIS II (whispers): “How the fuck do you turn this around?”

Reminder, if you need it, here is a link to the live feed from #ArtemisII in communication with NASA Mission Control www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR...

The traditional protocol is you put them in a box and only let them out after subjecting them to Richard Nixon to scare the ghosts away.

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

Rapist in the white house to receive FIFA War Crimes Trophy at World Cup Opener. Fuck it. Just go all in on the depraved criminality.

A racist pile of rancid potatoes is playing with the lives of billions and it's just something that cannot be checked or balanced apparently.

We found the winner of this meme

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
