The Iran war could cost the American taxpayer $1 trillion, says Harvard academic

Is this the real life? Omg…hahahahaha

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

The crowd in Budapest is chanting “we are not afraid.” WHEW.

“Ruszkik haza!” on the Budapest metro. What a moment. In USA this would be a: Trump out! chant. With this energy. Orban out we come for you Trump! Follow me if you love this energy

After years of propping up Orban, Putin lost the election tonight in Hungary. Imagine the party in the USA when we will soon evict Trump. What do you see?

Never seen the city so exultant, Budapest Celebrations. Follow me if you love this energy and know its coming to USA

More scenes from Budapest this evening, Budapest celebrations I was right with many predictions, didn't i tell you yesterday with absolute certainty Orban will be gone and Peter Magyar will win a supermajority. And i delivered. Now i am telling you we will start the revolution in USA and evict Trump

The energy in Budapest tonight is absolutely incredible. Unlike anything I’ve seen anywhere in the world. Every bridge, metro station and street is full of celebration. Literally the entire city. Follow me if you love this

The Constitution forbids any “establishment of religion“ by our government. But Christian extremists are hijacking our political system and using our tax money to foist their beliefs on us. It’s an obnoxious assault on American values.

“California Republicans refused Sunday to endorse Donald Trump’s pick for governor here, a stark rebuke of the sitting president by the party’s rank-and-file in the nation’s most populous state…” www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Finally had a chance to listen to the speech and he really did say that - this is the most he's ever said on the topic, I think.

Russians, go home!

It’s 1:00 am in downtown Budapest at Rákóczi square. By all indications, the party is just getting started. 🔥 It’s a rather cathartic feeling getting rid of an autocrat who’s had a chokehold on the nation for sixteen consecutive years. 🙏🏼🇭🇺🕊️ #Hungary

America, let this be us! Congratulations to the the people of Hungary! Let Freedom, Democracy and Love Rule! #thepeoplearehungary #hungary

Magagop: Chaos, corruption, cruelty, criminality of all kinds. 💩 Jewish folks are important and beloved. Israel is not. I'm calling Congress and saying we must decouple ourselves from netanyhoo's inhumane, criminality. open.substack.com/pub/jasonhic...

Shout out to REI-Coop, Obōz, and Smartwool!! What about you Keen? LL Bean? Sitka Gear? Yeti? You don’t think the people who work at the USDA Forest Service wear your items? What about those of us who visit the National Forests? We love our National Forests across the 50 states!

Beeindruckend!

This is powerful. All the more so given that Orban has minced no words that the regime is keeping tabs of who is speaking out, who is reporting freely, who is advocating for opposition candidate Peter Magyar and a sweeping crackdown is expected if Orban manages to win. Courage happens in numbers!

@rbreich.bsky.social made a YouTube video about taxing California's billionaires, and I found this URL in the video description: billionairetaxnow.org Robert says it shows you California locations where you can sign a petition supporting the billionaire tax. #USDemocracy #MomSky #California #CA

The Arc de Triomphe in Paris was originally designed to celebrate the battle of Austerlitz at the centre of a celebration of all Bonaparte's big wins but it took so long to finish that by the time it was done Napoleon had ... died in exile ... and all those great battles had ultimately been undone

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

Thank heaven for Bruce Springsteen, the E Street Band and Heather Cox Richardson. Truth, hope and inspiration amidst the temporary shit show we’re existing in. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

Here's a real life example of how AI is destroying scientific knowledge. This is scary b/c it's happening so fast. How soon before we can no longer trust any "facts" b/c what we once called facts have been replaced with fraudulent AI slop?

This fascinating new study assesses the greenhouse gas reduction potential of six energy sufficiency measures across five EU Member States and evaluates their contribution to narrowing emissions gaps in National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) trajectories.

How utterly fucking vile

CARLOS MENDOZA WAS SHOT BY ICE.🚨 Trump's goons are trying to assassinate people on the streets. Not one elected Republican has condemned the rampant #ICELawlessness. Not one is protecting our rights or will even question what's going on. So it's imperative to kick them out of office.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears. "She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..." azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

After Ceasefire Agreement, U.S. Lawmakers Call for Investigation Into Donald Trump’s Finances and Investment History after Report he may have tried to invest in defense stocks before the war in Iran began through Pete Hegseth Jared Kushner— Which the Pentagon demanded be Retracted... wow!

Beautiful story of a man bonding with a robin.

Hello, journalists hitback against AI has started... And with good reason. Anyone sensible who wants the facts will choose a human writer over unreliable AI slop everytime... www.niemanlab.org/2026/04/prop...

We’ve updated SaveUSFS.org with all 80+ brands that have spoken out and today, you’re seeing what momentum looks like. Once the first few step up, more follow fast. Your voice made this happen. Thank you! We’ve also added Backcountry and Sitka Gear to our pressure campaign.

It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

it's a big week, tune in now:

Congressman cites ‘heartbreaking’ detainee accounts during Indiana prison visit www.newsfromthestates.com/article/cong...

When are they going to realize it's we the people not we the DNC. It's time we started voting out those who do not support our values. Yes we must Vote Blue (for now) but we can change the candidate. DNC needs new leadership, NOW!

I know this sounds hopelessly naive and plaintive at this point but a large part of me is just shrieking WHY THE FUCK DOESN’T SOMEONE FUCKING DO SOMETHING
