If you’re an Indiana University, alum who’s willing to forgo donations to the school until President Pamela Whitten is gone, please read and sign via the link at the bottom!

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

Red states don’t hold referendums before they redraw maps to their advantage. They just do it. If the courts are going to keep moving the goalposts, maybe it’s time blue states stop asking permission.

The white Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from entering a committee meeting specifically about redrawing the map for *his* district. Incredible Photo by Nicole Hester at The Tennessean.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

"By a lot"? Is there some kind of scoreboard or judges panel that's tracking this?

Expelling Tony Gonzales and Eric Swalwell from Congress could have a chilling effect on future Congressmen's ability to sexually harass their staff members.

“Writing the United States off as a friend might once have been a sign of doom for Ukraine,” Phillips Payson O’Brien argues. “It isn’t anymore”:

Indiana Toll Road deal would trade twice-annual hikes for $700M Bears stadium-related windfall

Americans must not shrug off Donald Trump’s latest social-media implosion—too much is at risk to keep dismissing his dysfunction, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

I was thinking one of the infielders was literally going to grab Bibee and hold him back.

No way Tanner Bibee’s teammates were letting him catch another popup. 🤣

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Trump has handed over an international waterway to the Iranians, who will now charge (at least) $2M per vessel. Trump, unbelievably, contemplates this “joint venture” — a “beautiful thing” — with Iran. (If that is not evidence of mental defect, I’m not sure what is.)

Columbia Sportswear has now joined the Save the US Forest Service movement! 💚

If the Guardians win this afternoon, they will have clinched first place in case civilization ends tonight.

This is my Easter message.

Hey! If you haven't yet, give my article from yesterday a read! It combines several of my interests: sports, politics, and right-wing media. (Don't worry if you're not a basketball fan, it still might be of interest!) Also, please consider sharing and subscribing. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

After Trump’s speech, Americans could be forgiven for being even more concerned now about the war in Iran than they were only a few days ago, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

Trump says he doesn't care about Iran's enriched uranium or the strait of hormuz. this allows him to justify a humiliating defeat. If neither of those things matter we went to war for nothing. In fact we are worse off now.

The right wing used to have a stranglehold on traditionally American iconography. Now the flag and the Constitution are symbols for the left. Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/90440...

The Athletic | Tiger Woods was arrested for a DUI at 1 o'clock in the afternoon after flipping his SUV. Could he be a future candidate for Secretary of War?

No kings. Not in 1776. Not in 2026.

Beautiful!

Amazing turnout TN, NH, IN, MI, MN, ID, WI, IA, and SC. You showed up!

Amazing work FL, GA, VA, PA, IL, NC, OH, NY, and NJ. You’re showing up. From small towns to big cities, massive crowds are already gathering and the day is just getting started!

This is so awesome -- No Kings events in some unlikely Indiana places!

Apartments are family homes. Condos are family homes. Triplexes are family homes. This sanctification of the detached single-family house is so maddening—just a totally American form of brain worms that doesn't discriminate by political alignment.

Should we all reintroduce our baseball allegiances for a quick refresher? No explanation. 1. Cleveland Guardians 2. Steven Kwan 3. Players who wear proper stirrups 4. Starting pitchers who pitch 6+ innings 5. Day games 6. True doubleheader

Dang. Another year that the Yankees won't go winless.

Big Netflix fail for completely missing the first ABS challenge in an official game in history.

Observer: "It was so violent, aggressive."

President Trump cast a mail-in ballot in Tuesday's special election in Florida, even though he suggested on Monday that “mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.” 🔗 https://tinyurl.com/54srpkyh 

In 1980s, while living in Japan, I interviewed a Japanese doctor who had worked in Hiroshima soon after US atomic bombing. Every second of that discussion was awkward, because we both knew the context. But the pig-ignorant crude racist cruelty of a US prez not realizing what he has just done...

Q: Do you have a comment on the six service members who passed? TRUMP: *ignoring question* Go ahead. Who else?

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

1/2 This is crucially important point. 1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term 2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK

Ah, yes, American Exceptionalism: the Palantir edition. Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Jane Addams, FDR, MLK, etc would all be so proud. Avoiding all products from co's led by amoral nuts takes work, but Palantir/Thiel/Karp empire is a good place to start.

We're deep in the Idiocracy.

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

There’s a growing cottage industry where wealthy criminals pay insiders to lobby President Trump to pardon them. While some call it a perversion of the Constitution, it’s a refreshing source of job creation in an otherwise unsteady economy.

It’s sad that this is the reality.
