With Trump pardoning Changpeng Zhao and accusing the Biden administration of persecuting him because it hated cryptocurrency, here's a reminder of what the IRS's cybercrime investigators dug up on CZ and Binance. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

These dumbasses are so sure they’re smarter than everybody that they’ll embrace contrarianism even when it requires them to adopt and defend the most absurd position possible.

Education is so important in Korea that they will backtrack very quickly if a new idea or technology doesn't improve outcomes. In the US we'll let kids suffer for years if not decades just to not admit we were wrong.

Perry: DOJ's definition of rebellion would mean that "literally all nonviolent protest” could be considered evidence of rebellion. Is that your argument? Hamilton: The president has determined there is a danger of a rebellion, and you must defer to that finding

"Every American should be alarmed that their President has decided he can wage secret wars against anyone he calls an enemy,” @reed.senate.gov told @theintercept.com

We agree with Lina Khan, who suggested that unlicensed AI training on music that then is used to compete with the original music likely qualifies as an unfair method of competition under the FTC Act.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

This is a miscarriage of justice and an attack on press freedom. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We live in an economy entirely driven by the spending of the richest people in America — everyone else has seen their purchasing power stay flat. I wonder how this affected people's perceptions of the economy over the past few years. I've certainly felt like I'm spending more on less, and /

BREAKING: The Dept of Justice “lost” our whistleblower client’s evidence - re. Emil Bove and other senior DOJ officials’ defiance of court orders and coverup - from May 5 until just yesterday, the eve of Bove’s confirmation vote. whistlebloweraid.org/new-whistleb...

Trump's FCC Chair says he will put a "bias monitor" in place who will "report directly" to Trump as part of the deal for Sky Dance to acquire CBS

I still listen to each of these a few times a year

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades. #AlligatorAlcatraz #NeverAgainIsNow

I don't think people in general have wrapped their heads around just how much exploitation trans-friendly youth shelters prevent just by being affirming. If every change in this bill goes into effect, youth homelessness will explode at the exact same time every possible support ceases to exist.

This one is ridiculously disgusting. Ohio will defund YOUTH HOMELESS SHELTERS if they support transgender youth. Ohio legislators, Brian Stewart especially (a primary sponsor of this bill) care more about how a kid identifies than making sure they aren't dying on the street. 3/5

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

The Nazi law student paper was actually worse than I thought. I think we should not stop talking about it at least until the judge explains himself.

A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative. We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

📢 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHILE PROTESTING: a thread 📢

Five cars set on fire? I’m pretty sure more cars have been set on fire because Ohio State and Michigan played a college football game.

Abolish ICE.

We're now 8 points away from sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs.

NOW: A group of faith leaders have linked arms & are blocking the entrance to the ICE detention facility at Delaney Hall, NJ. “We want to know who is in the building behind us. Americans believe in due process. This is not the country anyone asked for.” 👏 (🎥 Alexis McAdams, FOX)

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

GREEN TEA PLUNGE

Remember this isn't even the guy that the Supreme Court is insisting be brought back. This is ANOTHER guy picked up and shipped to the gulag for no reason.

7/ You may not think this case matters to you. But Abrego Garcia was legally in the U.S., just like all the rest of us. His status as an immigrant doesn't matter as a matter of law. If Trump can lock up or remove ANYONE - no matter what the courts say - we are all at grave risk.

“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”

Let's be clear that this thing Trump just said about having no trade deficits with any country would be far more radical, more disruptive, and more expensive, than every single leftist dream you have ever heard put together, including Medicare for All, Guaranteed Housing, and Universal Basic Income.

"America is spinning quickly in the direction of Hungarian populism, Hungarian politics, and Hungarian justice. But that means Hungarian stagnation, Hungarian corruption, and Hungarian poverty lie in our future too." But unfortunately not Hungarian poppy seed rolls.

Serious Abu Ghraib vibes with this one.

It should be a major scandal that the Social Security Administration made it harder for parents to register their babies in Maine to punish the President's enemies www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer from leadership and replace him with someone willing to fight

If we follow this reasoning, we will need to get rid of privacy protections to win the AI race against China.

Alright doomscroll friends, here's a thread to 📌 on safeguarding yourself. First, a guide to protecting yourself from government surveillance as Donald Trump vows to go after his enemies and exploit America’s digital surveillance machine to do so.

i keep reading statements from democrats saying they find mahmoud khaleil's views to be abhorrent and despicable before going on to say that he should nonetheless be given due process. but no one has been able to demonstrate what khaleil's views are beyond the admin's assertions. except for cnn:

Now that’s somebody I actually look forward to voting for!

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)
