they're concentration camps.

Short 🧵 from Adam Serwer…

““Trump must resign” is a clear moral statement, and it puts the onus to respond entirely on the most powerful, most evil person in the country, who refuses to fulfill any of his obligations, including the obligation to remove himself if he refuses to fulfill his oath.

I hate that the default D messaging is that he's "unhinged" or "unwell." He's not mentally ill. He's evil. He's an evil racist warmonger who is reveling in the thought of mass death.

Not the main point here, but I do not ever recall a federal agency making significant programmatic and personnel changes as a result of the PRESIDENT'S BUDGET PROPOSAL, which does not change any law or funding allocations. Congress hasn't acted yet. What are we doing here?

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Awful. Congress must put this all back in.

The FY27 Budget Request makes three things clear: 1. Trump et al., are using the budget as ONE TOOL in a broader plan to destroy independent centers of thought, particularly the sciences. 2. Vought designed this budget to allow Republicans to look like they “support science” when they “fight”…

Christian Scott is starting tonight for Syracuse. #MetsSky

I don't see this said enough: the widespread use of generative AI is not only making our jobs as educators harder logistically, but also emotionally. It is genuinely sad to be suspicious of students when you have spent so much time building a pedagogy based on trust and not being a cop. It sucks.

As we're getting closer to a collective technological mistrust, it's great that more people are starting to see the value of arts and humanities. Strong writing, music, art, and photography. From a sociological perspective, trust is shifting to actual human beings. Our saving grace. We got us.

BREAKING: Trump regime bans green-card holders from getting Small Business Administration loans. Any small biz even partly owned by a green card holder is no longer eligible for SBA loans. Half of Fortune 500 companies were started by immigrants or their children. This will destroy the US economy.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. We love our trans friends, don't we folks

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Bo!

The biodiversity crisis is as urgent as the climate crisis.

Walk off! 🍎 #MetSky

Many thousands now, and it’s doing this

Syracuse showing up for #NoKings!

So are the headlines saying the Democrats won this round, or nah? Cause they did. Funding for TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, no funding for ICE. That’s the deal Dems have been offering over & over. Republicans caved.

we are going to be scraping Donald Trump’s name off everything in this country for the rest of my lifetime

Way too early for this take, but…this team has a professional lineup that didn’t exist last year.

Happy Opening Day of the Mets season! 🍎 #LGM

Good read, as it always is. Noah is a good follow (and absolutely worth a subscription if you can swing it).

AI is the deadly whisper of capital interests that betrays the working class in order to destroy it from within, and it couldn't be more simple than that.

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

“Take me to the Balkans!” probably won’t have the same longevity as “Send it in Jerome!”, but that was fun and Bill Raftery is one of the best of all time.

Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little. ➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change. polarwx.com/models/

I've interviewed more than a dozen hydrologists and climatologists across the West the past 10 days. A sense of panic is starting to set in. Wildfires and water shortages will start mounting this summer. Adverse impacts are expected from not only this heat wave, but the historically warm winter.

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

obviously "deporting US citizens" should not be a "concession", but the key point there is that *the WH still refuses to guarantee due process* and without that *you can't tell who is a citizen and who isn't* and so you are *going to deport citizens.*

Democrats support protecting our elections. That’s why they introduced the Freedom to Vote Act in Congress But anyone who says voter ID is needed to stop election fraud in US is lying-because there is no rampant voter fraud in the US And the SAVE Act will disenfranchise over 20 million Americans

Let’s be clear on what’s happening here. They’re trying to steal the next election and this is a smoking gun. GOP Senator Mike Lee sees polling that shows Dems gaining ground and the solution isn’t better ideas or better leadership. The solution is rushing to pass the SAVE Act. #SaveActTaxesVoting

just plainly evil.

What a performance from Severino, those are big strikeouts.

Taika is enjoying a sunny Sunday with spring training baseball! #LGM

Opening Day can’t get here fast enough! #LGM

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Nothing says, “it is a totally legitimate peace prize” like threatening another nation’s team.

We're thrilled to release the #LongCovid Treatment Guide! This is a collaboration with @rthm.bsky.social to help patients & providers explore treatment options together. The guide focuses on 24 medications, but includes a few other interventions for breadth /1

wait so there’s a major oil crisis and they’re gonna fly seven reps to meet each other so they can diplomatically avoid saying that one of them caused this whole ass crisis single-handedly? because that could be an email

Happy to see Ruben Tejada playing…what a good at bat.

The military draft comment from Leavitt feels like a trial balloon. If there's enough outcry, Trump denies it and Leavitt falls on her sword for "misspeaking." If there's not, Trump and Hegseth bring it up casually and slowly push. For example, Trump may "joke" about it as a next step. 1/2

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Remember -- it's always the kids who need to be fixed, not the structure (in this case, the tests) that should be questioned.

🧵 and article worth reading.
