I really think Trump's Iran threat is a breaking point. We just learned that the GOP won't step up even when its leader threatens unthinkable war crimes and even genocide. This realization of powerlessness in the face of this madness will take a deep psychic toll. newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Is this her way of making sure Epstein stays in the spotlight? Like a cry for help? Only kinda joking...

BREAKING: You checked the weather this morning. And you just told a surveillance company where you sleep. Meet #Webloc, used by ICE, cops & foreign govs to track 500m+ phones. No warrant required. Our @citizenlab.ca investigation + how to protect yourself 🧵/1 citizenlab.ca/research/ana...

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I can't stop thinking about the fact that the President of the United States, just two days ago, threatened to kill an entire civilization and the national conversation has already moved on from it with a shrug.

“We're fighting for fair pay because people deserve to be able to afford to stay in the jobs that they love. We're fighting for protections around AI because this work is done by humans. We love this place. We believe in this work, and we are not backing down.” — Katie Campbell, video journalist

NEW: A Department of Defense official has confirmed to @rns.org that the much-discussed meeting between the papal nuncio and military officials at the Pentagon (mentioned below) DID happen — but they're disputing the Free Press' assessment.

“The administration tried every possible way to have the Pope in the U.S. in 2026,” one Vatican official told The Free Press. Instead, on July 4, 2026, the first American pope will travel to Lampedusa, the Italian island where North African migrants wash ashore by the thousands.”

Six minutes apart!

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

What we fail to say is also a message. Not calling for Trump's impeachment and removal conveys he has not committed offenses that warrant these actions. Or, at best, that you feel he has and are unwilling to do your duty and use the remedy written into our Constitution for presidential crimes.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

“The president is a well-known pathological liar, so it should not be newsworthy when he threatens genocide.”

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

straight line from doing nothing after Sandy Hook

I just told my editors "Sorry, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought."

same Overton Window-shattering tactic he’s always used: Even if worst doesn’t happen tonight - rhetorically he’s opened up possibility of the unimaginable, making lesser (but still horrible) actions seem moderate by comparison… all increasing likelihood that one day the worst really will happen

Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters

I feel like I have nothing to write. "Genocide is illegal and Trump must be tried for war crimes" feels, somehow, *under*whelming in this moment.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

"Everyone on Earth, we love you from the moon." -Victor Glover Pilot, Artemis II

Administration of ghouls.

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Today is National School Librarian Day. THANK YOU, school librarians & school library workers. We celebrate you. For so many library kids, the school library is the only place they have access to books. It is where they learn to believe that stories are for them. Thank you for your library joy 💛📚🥹🤟🏽

They’re making this woman pay $500 a month to talk to her husband.

One of my favorite “history fun facts” I often share in class is that Notre Dame is called “the fighting Irish” because in 1924, UND students beat the shit out of a local Klan that tried to harass them for being Catholic. stories.nd.edu/stories/a-cl...

The Trump budget calls to eliminate the Native Hawaiian education program but doesn't eliminate the Alaskan Native education program. What's the difference, you might ask? One state voted for him, and one didn't.

Do you think maybe we could get the top journalistic minds who discovered Biden got old to investigate if any other politicians have been aging as well?

Shout-out to every other Gen Xer that was holding their breath the entire time for the first five mintues of the launch For r e a s o n s

Yeah that’s cool

It’s nice to see science and mathematics still have a place in our world.

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

It's been a day. The initial call was followed by hour long multiregional breakouts, followed by regional breakouts. The info dam broke and a deluge of information was released. #fsreorg #bettertogether #ourworkmatters #FSReorg #bettertogether #ourworkmatters

This is the Trumpiest Trump sound bite ever.

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

Excuse me, what did you just say? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY??? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

The data we are getting out of ICE now conclusively destroys their "worst of the worst" narrative. Since the Los Angeles raids began in June last year, there has been a massive expansion of ICE arrests against people with no criminal record, while arrests of others remained flat.

the fact that conversion therapy is torture had been settled socially, scientifically, and politically. but the "trans debate" manufactured by the epstein class and its media empire, in particular the attack on youth transition, has created a new angle to legitimize the practice

Supreme Court overtuned a Colorado law banning conversion therapy. It's 8-1 with Ketanji Brown Jackson as the lone dissent. Surprised by the vote, but not the outcome. MAGA is on a march to erradicate the LGBTQ community and the Supreme Court will help them.
