CNN: Four women describe sexual misconduct by Rep. Eric Swalwell, including a former staffer who says he raped her

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

Love this public service announcement on a neighborhood bulletin board (looks like it got wet in the rain, that's why it's a bit blurry) "NO ONE CAN TAKE SELF PUBLISHING AWAY FROM YOU. NO ALGORITHMS OR OLIGARCHS CAN CENSOR YOU. NO GATEKEEPERS CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IS NOT IMPORTANT..."🌹🥀

My first search on Netanyahu background was #BehindTheBastards and @iwriteok.bsky.social and team do not disappoint. Very necessary context these days.

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

Yes. Let's do it.

A few postcards my office has received in the last few weeks. Even during our darkest moments, Minnesotans choose love as their guiding light. 💙

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC. "All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources." blockclubchicago.org/2026/04/08/c...

I love working at @propublica.org. I'm on strike for the day because I want it to be a better place to work, for everyone. Please support our fight for a fair contract.

"Transit is 95% safer than cars, without a single algorithm. If AVs pull riders off the subway and onto robotaxi apps the safety math goes in the wrong direction. Switching passengers from cars to AVs may save lives, but taking them from transit will cost lives." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/08/w...

A bit of context: Israel has been attacking Lebanon and violating its sovereignty since at least 1968, when Israeli commandos landed in helicopters at Beirut airport and destroyed 12 passenger planes

If a President Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter led America to such an embarrassing humiliating defeat as the #HormuzHumiliation - the Congress (even if it were led by Democrats) would have impeached and convicted them out of the office. Coaches get fired for being losers.

Brutal.

Ashley does it again!

Birthright citizenship is one of those topics I can't think too deeply about, because it really emphasizes the contradictions of being a descendant of both enslaved Africans and indigenous people in a settler colony built on dispossession, displacement, and chattel slavery

"My promise has always been that I will veto any bill that makes WI a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ people and kids," he said. "It has been my honor to keep that promise over the course of two terms as governor, and I am proud to deliver on that promise again today."

That's especially bad for a bubble asset! At least people *liked* Dutch tulips and mid-Aughts homeownership

ALL HAIL CRAB DAY

Two juries delivered verdicts against Big Tech companies last week. But the most consequential outcome of these trials may not be the damages awarded. It may be the information forced into the public record, and what that evidence now demands of lawmakers, writes Mariana Olaizola Rosenblat.

Feels like a setup for MrBeast's biggest April Fools' Day prank ever ...

Holding all Trans and Genderqueer siblings in love tonight. You deserve to live your best lives. In Idaho and around the world. 📢📢📢

Trans day of bring your trans friends little cakes Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The Trump administration tried to take the viral videos of DOJ staffers’ depositions off the internet. A judge said no. So naturally, we have to share them again.

As a protestant, this feels strange to say, but the point at which an adult convert to Catholicism has been rebuked by two Popes in one year and then goes on to write a memoir called 'Communion' about his faith, they ought to bring excommunication back. This guy is evidently an unrepentant heretic.

SMASHING THAT PREORDER BUTTON! This is SO important-& SO necessary to incorporate into legal/political left thinking about the courts. Read it; use it in your book club; etc. & excited to talk about it on Strict Scrutiny! @strictscrutiny.bsky.social Preorder button: wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

I am so goddamn tired of white people pretending not to understand the state sponsored system of repression in which we continue to live. My loves, 2020 *just* happened & we all, with our eyes, saw cops kick the shit out of everyone w/o consequence. Please. It’s preposterous behavior.

It's piñata time. This one is Larry Dominick, Town President and retired Cicero cop—neighbors say he's been little help to the community in the face of ICE violence.

amazing

First time I’ve seen a protest sign that cited the specific file number from the Epstein files

BOISE Here at the No Kings demonstration in Boise, Idaho. It appears to be another record turnout. This is a good moment to be with neighbors and grow in care and community.

"It's a good day to fight the system." #NoKings #NoKingsPlaylist #Shungudzo youtu.be/dH3ArgyyrFA?...

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

“... (O)nline prediction platforms like Kalshi are rife with the potential for insider trading and corruption,” said AG Nick Brown.

We're officially up past 3,300 protests tomorrow. Happy No Kings Eve my friends. ❌👑

2. We offer memberships, but you can also buy audiobooks à la carte (tip: check out our sale section) 3. Our audiobooks are DRM-free—you actually own them. Which in a world of book bans and subscriptions...is increasingly important

A trio of unidentified orcas, never observed in the Pacific Northwest before, showed up in early March, first in Canada’s Vancouver Harbour, then in the busy ports of Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia.

It’s being called a “humane and cost-effective” strategy.

are these motherfuckers really trying to prime 2-day a fuckin war

This is what I hope Open Streets will become under @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social — more than just places for people to dine outdoors, but true third spaces where anyone is welcome and all people can enjoy time outside, alone or with others, without being required to spend money.

It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid

are there any more things like this

Democrat Emily Gregory will win a special state House election in a Palm Beach district that includes President Donald Trump’s Florida home of Mar-a-Lago, CNN’s Decision Desk projects, adding another special election win to a recent string of victories around the country for Democrats.
