Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.

The most striking bits of the Shadow Docket docs: Lots of hand wringing over costs to power plants, not even a mention of the benefits of cutting CO₂ pollution. Yes, the 5:4 SCOTUS majority doing the fossil industry's bidding, and not even trying to hide it www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

History has proven Judith Butler right (and The Guardian wrong for censoring her). Just look at the reaction of Justin Webb, Hadley Freeman, Janice Turner and other TERFs to Trump. TERFs are not "part of the contemporary struggle against fascism."

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

Wretched government

Booked Frontier thinking it couldn’t be that bad. We started the day with a three hour delay due to staffing issues, now we’re on the tarmac for a maintenance issue, the pilot just said he has no idea when that’ll happen and they’re not bothering to let anyone off.

Yesterday, Israel shot and killed 9-year-old Ritaj Rihan in front of 40 of her classmates as she was at school in Gaza, leaving behind her notebook covered in blood. “This notebook is the greatest proof of Israel’s crimes against our children.”

Everybody hates the man. The results of WI’s elections tonight should set the Dems up for winning the next several decades of elections.

JUST IN: Liberals have won a decisive victory for the Wisconsin supreme court race tonight. Chris Taylor will join the supreme court, flipping a conservative-held seat. This expands liberals' majority on the court to 5-2. Why it matters: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

New shot of the Moon taken only a few hours ago by the Artemis II crew! More of the lunar far side coming into view :-D flic.kr/p/2s676GN

Banger post from one of my @reproaction.bsky.social colleagues on the anti-abortion movement's increasing coziness with proponents of white supremacy and antisemitism. There's a reason they're more publicly welcoming Nazi saluters and white nationalists, and it's because they want to!

I reviewed @mollycrabapple.bsky.social 's terrific new history of the Bund — a great read but more importantly, a book that could not have arrived at a more urgent moment. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/b...

According to this, the ICE flight to DRC last month wasn't a third-country removal -- just a "regular" deportation of migrants into a humanitarian crisis via private jet -- but third-country removals will begin soon. I'll be watching air traffic closely. apnews.com/article/cong...

On our block we’re lucky to have quite the amazing roster of leaders as neighbors, Amisha is one of them. Also, one of the first things we need to do once the malignant administration is gone is refund cancer research.

More than 2 million low-income Americans, overwhelmingly women, access birth control and STD screening through Title X programs.

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

Federal immigration agents are violating Illinois law and making arrests at Chicago-area courthouses, several local officials alleged at a press conference Thursday.

“The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel cited Othman Atta, the executive director of the mosque, as saying that deportation documents focused on Sarsour's arrest by Israeli authorities as a teenager living in the West Bank to argue he ​provided material support for extremists.” Sarsour is 53 years old.

So you’re telling me this man got to install his personal attorney Blanche to make a deal with his likely co-conspirator Maxwell and oversee documents he’s tried to hide against the law he himself signed because he’s in them sexually abusing a child and Congress is just gonna be like…ok?

Liberal Currents has quietly become one of the few outlets taking male supremacy seriously, either as a foundation of Trumpist fascism or as a system of oppression in its own right.

The federal Indian law discussions were painful. The Justices talked about Native peoples as if they were some distant past problem and the Solicitor General outright admitted that he didn’t even think about how the administration’s position would affect their citizenship. Not sure what else to say.

I appreciate how unashamed Alito and his J6er wife are about their very public and on the record right wing podcast brain rot.

I participated in an amicus brief on this birthright citizenship thing and more that just the actual facts of how bad it would be re economy, legal precedent etc : this would be the most substantial step towards actual ethnic cleansing.

US judge says it’s ok for the govt to force universities to share names of people that have joined organizations centering the Jewish experience. Why would govt fight for this list against the uni’s will? Doesn’t matter, accusations of antisemitism in the govt are silly, says judge born yesterday.

Imagine the worst insurance phone tree you’ve been in then double that frustration and you will have what the BIA was before Trump cuts. Many Indigenous folks have to go thru BIA staff to get permission to build a home on their family’s land (currently me), to get healthcare, to go to college…

States can force doctors to read bogus scripts claiming abortion causes future health issues (mandated counseling laws), but states CANNOT compel anti-abortion centers to tell patients that abortion and birth control is available elsewhere (NIFLA). It's pure nonsense all the way down

It's simple: The Supreme Court says bans on medical care—and speech related to that care—are only allowed in the conservative direction. Tennessee can ban gender-affirming care as a medical regulation, matter but Colorado CANNOT regulate therapists who wish to deny patients' gender or sexuality

Anything less than a 9-0 decision affirming the clear, plain language of the amendment that you are a citizen if born upon these shores is a sign of corruption and bad faith that calls for massive, radical reform.

After the Trump admin demolished USAID, they deliberately let $9.7 million of contraceptives expire in Belgium - supplies that USAID had bought for Africa. The reason? The Trump admin considered them to be "abortifacients." archive.is/b9eUZ

Immigration enforcement is the number one priority of this administration — beyond everything else. And when the DOJ makes that its number one priority, it means that they have to drop a bunch of other cases, including ones with far more serious consequences.

Officials say the charge was filed by local police without the district attorney’s support — and Georgia case law doesn't support the accusation. From @thecurrentga1.bsky.social:

The IDF did it again as it tries to annex parts of Lebanon. HRW: "The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor" www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...

She fearlessly raps about traumas like being trafficked at 13. But she’s so scared of institutional retaliation, she’s concealing her identity.

Chicago bikers: We need witness slips for Proponents of SB3478, takes 20 seconds and the directions are laid out in the thread.

My plane almost hit a small jet after it landed and was taxiing to the gate today, kinda feels like everyone in aviation is barely holding air travel together under secretary road rules

Got this news mid-flight, spent a lot of time thinking of what I’ll say if I see ICE at O’Hare later this week. TSA/airports have become sites of forced obedience to domestic security theater, now brutality against targeted travelers will be normalized. Once this happens, they will not go back.

Chicago is getting a coed cross between a baseball team and the Jesse White Tumblers and I’m dragging my family to every Snowballs home game.

Not the focus but giving Stratton’s clear victory to Pritzker or anyone but her is such standard racist treatment of Black female leaders. She was broadly supported and based on my own interactions, I tie JB’s good moves on repro rights directly to Stratton. I think he would too.

My fave thing about BS is being able to easily access local news from around the country and learning about the people that hold up their communities quietly: “I learned about love,[…] the kind of love that can love the unlovable.”

NEW: The Trump administraiton has lost more than 7,000 immigration detention cases in recent months. Increasingly, DOJ is telling judges they have no argument to present or couldn't get facts from ICE to present in court. A look at this emerging trend. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

movements aren't separate from society. they are part of society. every social problem in society will be found in movements.

People shouldn't feel bad about previously admiring someone when they didn't know about the terrible harms that person committed, but we should challenge ourselves to consider how pedestalizing and prioritizing the legacies of charismatic leaders can create harmful dynamics. That can be addressed.

Dolores Huerta says she had two “sexual encounters” with Cesar. The first one she felt “pressured” into sex. The second one, “I was forced.” Both resulted in children, whom she arranged to be raised by others. “I have kept this secret long enough. My silence ends here.” medium.com/@dolores_hue...
