Whoever had the genius idea of having Melania publicly explain her connection with Jeffrey Epstein, THANK YOU lol

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

It’s not a ceasefire if the killing continues on one side. Mass atrocities are being carried out by Netanyahu in Lebanon with U.S. backing. (1/3)

Some Vatican officials reportedly saw the Pentagon’s reference to the Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

“.. The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history.” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: Bondi deserved to be fired. But we’re really worried about Todd Blanche stepping in. He is not a suitable attorney general. He gave Ghislaine Maxwell a sweetheart deal. He has not listened to survivors.

Has President Trump lost his mind? Threatening to wipe out an entire civilization in a war the American people do not want is insane and makes us less safe. Hegseth should be fired immediately. History is watching.

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

How did Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s deal with President Trump to imprison U.S. deportees in El Salvador come about, and what did each leader stand to gain? FRONTLINE and the Salvadoran news outlet El Faro investigate in "The Deal." Premieres Tuesday, Apr. 7, on @pbs and online.

Historically, how would we not expect a chart like this to be the end of established parties? Workers being stuck on the same wages for 16 years?! People are rightfully turning their backs to the big parties.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Iran's 10 point plan seems to put them in a better position than they were in before the war www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

He didn't even attempt to negotiate, hilarious.

Trump: Lets just forget the whole thing and have Golden Age of the Middle East instead.

Like when a mob soldier gets whacked, the boss’s wife gets his stuff. Also wasn’t this the plane that people were calling Air Fuckfest?

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Trump is a titanic fuck up, and will be known as such for all time. There is no possibility of redemption.

I said (paraphrasing): A lot of people would have wanted to move here and could have been productive and happy and sent money back to their families and built a global care network. Instead, we're going to lock them out and force women inside the wall to produce more children. Not how I would do it.

Oh.

If this is the deal then Iran straight up won this war

Good lord. If we cede control of the strait to Iran…. And agree to REPARATIONS…. This will be the biggest humiliation in American history

We do now know the NSF is proceeding with dissolving the Social and Behavioral Sciences Division. Congress might reverse it, but it is now already underway. YOU CAN NO LONGER SUBMIT FUNDING PROPOSALS TO SBE. Program officers are being moved to different parts of the agency. Call your Congress member

So Trump accepted the 10-point peace plan that Iran proposed previously that Trump said was “not good enough.” But now it is apparently good enough. Art of the Deal.

At 8pm Eastern, Trump says he’ll begin massacring the 93 million people of Iran Republicans are with him all the way 👇

Ahead of the World Bank/IMF annual meetings, both institutions could do more to respond to the Iran War crisis. But is there any appetite to do them? Blogs by Karen Mathiasen, Nico Martinez and Mary Svenstrup www.cgdev.org/blog/between... www.cgdev.org/blog/stress-...

Again, I listened to this show. In this very program Tucker says he'd vote for Trump right now.

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

From The Wall Street Journal's daily markets note by Spencer Jakab. #markets @wsj.com

Think about where our world would be if Mitch McConnell and 9 other Republicans had taken a different course 5 years ago www.cnn.com/2021/02/13/p...

President Trump threatens not just war crimes but also what sounds like genocide, saying that in Iran "a whole civilization will die tonight." This is obviously morally repugnant and also raises concerns about the mental stability of a man who controls nuclear weapons.

“I’m probably gonna do a genocide tonight. Not sure though. Maybe not. But probably so.”

“The window to avert a massive global hunger crisis is rapidly closing. #IranWar www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

One of the sources of American economic and scientific dominance over the last 200 years has been the way we welcomed some of the brightest minds from all over the world. We benefited and the world benefited -- yet now under Trump we're closing down our lighthouse and its beacon.

Religious zealots in America battle religious zealots in Iran, and humanity loses. God should sue both sides for defamation.

“Bangladesh has launched an emergency vaccination campaign after a fast-spreading measles outbreak is suspected of killing more than 100 people, mostly children, in what may be the country's most lethal wave of the disease in recent history.”

Taking a moment to appreciate seeing our work mentioned -> “askNivi complements frontline workers by de-burdening routine tasks while delivering cost-effective, accessible, and anonymous support in regional languages” cc @sgoyal.bsky.social www.millenniumpost.in/nation/is-ai...

He's confessing to planning war crimes on live television

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

It’s probably nothing. 🤡 @dkthomp.bsky.social

Reminder this guy is still doing the worst possible stuff to our most vulnerable

1. I know the idea of "norms" went out with Cheers and technically there's no law about presidential medical disclosures, but the White House and its doctors covering up the president's true medical condition ought to be a Watergate-level scandal

Likely the worst El Niño in 140 years. Harvests will be bad even without a fertilizer crisis. GOP will head to elections with scorching food inflation. And they will blame Belgium for not opening Hormuz. And 35% of Americans will be very angry at Belgium.

Again, ad infinitum: elections matter. The blue wave that hit VA last year is doing a lot of great stuff for citizens, as opposed to the former GOP majority and governor which did the usual GOP shitbaggery.

Donald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS

Rules and norms about war crimes are a global public good. If you or anyone in your family is between 16 & 60, male, & walks, you have a direct personal interest in it not being legitimate for them to be assinated for walking within any undeclared 3km radius around any combatant.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken. Original post

That someone known as “Catturd” is a leading online MAGA ideologue should tell you everything you need to know about the movement. Elon Musk took over Twitter, the most political of the social media platforms, to boost this rightwing vulgarity at the expense of real news and discourse.
