The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Another Kavanaugh stop.

The NY Times continues to be the biggest sucker in the world for bad faith bullshit, just so the publisher can claim they're not too liberal and to pretend they'll somehow convince MAGA they're being fair to them.

“People over Papers, a crowdsourcing project that maps sightings of US immigration agents, was taken offline yesterday by Padlet, the collaborative bulletin board platform on which it was built. It’s just the latest ICE-tracking initiative to be pulled by tech platforms in the past few days.”

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons? This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

Happening now in war ravaged Portland: the city's Parks and Recreation Department (the most subversive of all government entities, is giving away trees.

I'm firmly of the belief that attacking Trump tangentially can be more effective right now than attacking Trump directly. So it's worth nothing that JD's true lord and master, Peter Thiel, is deeply implicated in Epstein's corruption.

USTA to Broadcasters: DO NOT show Trump getting booed. Streisand effect:

Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed

In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.

/6 Because, you know, both right-wing assholes and useless apologists and minimizers are going to be yelling YOU ARE ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT. Asshole, I am encouraging performative defiance of thugs lawlessly deployed to intimidate civilians.

Literally everyone is responding to this with such naivete. It's not the pee tape (and never was). It's not Epstein. Putin has used Trump to destroy every aspect of the United States that he loathed: rule of law, free market, human rights.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

"Violent crime is up in Washington, DC" says man who pardoned the largest group in history that committed violent crimes in Washington, DC.

Lucy Ends Uncertainty With Promise Regarding Football, Charlie Brown Says

So CBS is cancelling the Late Show, which regularly skewered Donald Trump just a week or so after its parent company agreed to pay a bribe to Donald Trump to get its merger approved with a company run by the son of one of Trump's biggest donors/supporters. Nothing to see here.

I emailed ICE yesterday to ask about the app ICEBlock which lets users report sightings of ICE agents in your neighborhood. They said there’s been a 500% increase in assaults on agents. When I asked for evidence they emailed back to say actually it was 700%. No evidence was provided.

OH NO! I have been told that any chemical that we use in our lab that is not on some per-approved list must be treated as hazardous. Even calcium carbonate? I asked. Yes, I was told. OK, but I now want the math building to be declared a super fund site because of all of the chalk dust present.

A photo that I snapped an hour ago of the San Francisco #NoKings protest. I estimate about 150,000 people in total.

Newsom was strong, clear, direct, sharp, brutal in this presser. Watch the whole thing if you can.

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

In other news, the president has issued a call for ICE agents to arrest each other.

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Many of my federal scientist friends are unwilling to speak to journalists, even on background, because they fear the consequences of speaking out. We've got a nice constitution here. It would be amazing if someone actually followed it.

Freight Company Tells SEC It Needs Millions in $TRUMP to Get Access to the President The transactional nature of the Trump presidency, now on the blockchain. gizmodo.com/freight-comp... This sounds totally unethical and corrupt.

Imagine that! 💰

I appreciate making this debate public, but also, it's not that hard to just say it's illegal and to make it clear just how crazy the attack on the FTC's independence is. I did it. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/19/t...

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Great to see another article standing up for DEI in science too www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hours after Bannon talks about impeaching judges, obedient extremist Rep. Andy Ogles files articles of impeachment to oust judges that have gotten in the way of Trump’s illegal actions 👇🏽

You never really forget your first style guide. No matter how many years pass, its rules on caps will always seem natural to you and any deviation from them a kind of biblical perversion.
