I will note that Trump, SecDef, SouthCom, etc have been posted snuff films for many months now. Killing for content is a feature of this administration's use of force.

Private Prisons are not good neighbors... Sewage has been flowing into the Pecos river for months. The spill was from the Geo Group prison in Santa Rosa "We have implemented temporary measures to secure the sewer system and mitigate any further impact" www.kob.com/news/top-new...

I realize ICE goons didn't stop disappearing people but I'm still reeling from them doing it in my neighborhood, in @heinrich.senate.gov's old city council district. Helluva way for Mullin to thank Martin for advancing him out of committee & voting to confirm. Disappeared neighbors and goon patrols

"Dashboard-camera video captured agents firing at Mr. Hernandez as he tried to drive away, his car lurching into oncoming traffic."

More tstorm action east of Sacramento ⛈️

🤣🤣 Well, ANY language.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

The middle class doesn’t exist anymore. Unless you’re very wealthy, you are far closer to becoming homeless and/or bankrupt than you realize. It can happen in an instant and can be nearly impossible to recover from. Better social safety nets benefit everyone.

“Trump’s putative orders also threatened to break the moral backbone of the American military.” Important piece by @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/o...

$100 IS NEEDED TODAY ASAP! NOTHING RECEIVED AS OF 8PM 🕗

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues. He had just asked to call his wife. They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw. Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

Contrary to Trump and Vance's promises to help unemployed US-born workers through mass deportations, *the unemployment rate has steadily increased* for U.S.-born workers under Trump during the mass deportation era. Analysis with the latest data from @benzipperer.org and me for @epi.org:

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Did you know you can buy my one-of-a-kind handmade mushroom sculptures? It helps me get back on my feet financially as I am disabled and living well below the poverty line. I would so appreciate even sharing my posts. #indie #artist Here is the link for this listing: whatnot.com/s/Zg96QNOo

Jewish terrorism is raging in the West Bank with government backing and endangers Israel’s survival, 22 former Israeli security chiefs have warned. In a letter to Netanyahu, former heads of Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF said that settler violence had turned into terrorism and could bring down the state

No matter how bad he gets and no matter what he does, Republicans in Congress will never stand up to him or speak out because some agree with him on everything and the rest are spineless cowards.

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.

Donald Trump just posted a video to Truth Social of a woman in Florida being brutally murdered. It’s extremely violent and disturbing. I’m not posting it here because I’m not a psychopath. I cannot say the same of the U.S. President.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

The American regime has alienated us from the Pope. Let that sink in.

Once tattoo ink enters the body, it does not stay put. Beneath the skin, tattoo pigments interact with the immune system in ways scientists are only just beginning to understand. Tattoos are generally considered safe, but growing scientific evidence suggests tattoo inks are not biologically inert.

You're not going to be able to stop Bibi from genocidal atrociites in Lebanon. Even if Trump backs down. No one has been able to rein in Netanyahu - not even Trump.

I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.

The Selway still feels and looks wild, but no longer carries salmon from the Pacific. That absence of nutrient movement changes everything. I wrote about this in a new Mongabay piece, with a companion reflection: Mongabay: news.mongabay.com/20... Companion essay: open.substack.com/pu...

Americans describe Trump's war against Iran as "expensive," "dangerous" and "unnecessary"

By a wide margin, Americans say "no" to funding Trump's war against Iran.

NEW: A federal judge has ordered the DOJ to hand over all it's evidence in the murder of Renee Nicole Good in the next 3 weeks. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

We should not move on from the President threatening to annihilate a civilization.

I don't think she's long for the job. Might be the next cabinet member to go. Also on the potential chopping block: Lutnick and Gabbard. I always thought it'd be Patel. We'll find out soon!

This helped me feel less alone

Silicon Valley is constantly telling the world what they really think about workers' rights.

"The prospect of more unauthorized and unjustified foreign adventures is evidently very much on Trump’s mind. He’s even adopted a name for it: the ‘Donroe Doctrine.’…All the more reason for Congress to check him preemptively as much as possible, and to remove him from office as soon as possible."

The GA legislature has passed a bill that would allow pharmacists to dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives or administer injectable hormonal contraceptives to patients w/out a prescription (the bill still has to be signed by Gov Kemp). A few thoughts…

A “Vatican source close to Pope Leo XIV” told NBC that the Pentagon meeting between Trump officials and the Vatican’s top American diplomat “was most unpleasant and confrontational.”

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

Two reminders: First, Robert E. Lee was never a general in an army recognized by the United States. You can annoy all the right people by referring to him as Col. Robert E. Lee, his actual rank. Second, the primary flag of the Confederacy is the white one of surrender. To wit:

On the new "Berkeley Law Voices Carry," Professor Khiara M. Bridges talks about her new book "Expecting Inequity: How the Maternal Health Crisis Affects Even the Wealthiest Black Americans" built on two years of fieldwork and 200-plus interviews: bit.ly/3Qd2VIm #BerkeleyLaw @mitpress.bsky.social

Delivery workers now have a place to rest and recharge near City Hall, the first of three proposed hub locations citywide.

There is a racist crook looting the US Treasury, disappearing people, threatening to annihilate Iran and the ny times is crying about woke. Woke is not the crisis.

Israel successfully assassinated a retired diplomat, whose job was solely diplomacy. Kharazi was also a reformist politician to boot. This is, again, more evidence for the indisputable fact that Israel's actual ambition is to cripple the very ability for an Iranian state to exist.
