A 9-year-old boy has been rescued from his father's utility van in eastern France, where he was locked up for a year and a half.

It's fun seeing MAGA destroy themselves from the inside out. It's also funny seeing them still make fun of dems, liberals, and so on while hating on Trump when it's the left leaning voters that saw through his lies and called out his bigotry and selfishness.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Imagine claiming to be a catholic but siding with a fraudulent child rapist warmonger instead of the pope....

Working multiple jobs is not enough anymore. It's not enough to put a roof over your head, put food on the table and put your kids through college. I refuse to believe that Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos deserve their billions and my neighbors don't deserve the life their parents had.

After three hours inside the confines of the immigrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she discovered needlessly inhumane conditions, including 32 men housed in each cage, minimal food and a persistent odor of urine. www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/04/09/i...

Los Angeles schools brace for massive strike by teachers, principals and staff

Pros like Brianna Turner have made it abundantly clear what women athletes need — attacking and excluding trans and intersex athletes isn't on the list.

“'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...

Pete Hegseth is fixated on shaping the military’s top officers to conform to his preference for being straight, male, conservative Christian, and white.

This might have something to do with it…

Yesterday, Trump said he’d keep OSHA’s heat safety program. Today, his administration gutted it by removing the inspection goals that made it matter. That’s unacceptable. I’ll keep fighting to protect workers from dangerous heat.

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Dr. Dan Edney, Mississippi’s State Health Officer, is no longer a candidate to lead the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. He faced opposition from allies of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his strong support for vaccines and medical science. buff.ly/gIkknM8

If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

Top Democrat on House Judiciary formally asks White House physician to conduct cognitive exam of Trump: “Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline… increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening.”

I think sometimes the reason why Trump contradicts himself so much each day is because he forgot what he said yesterday. The other times it’s because he lies so much he can’t keep the lies straight.

Time to splashdown: 1 minute

Someone stop Trump from building his arc and the ballroom 😭 He's so fucking full of himself, jeezus.

One day, all of these ICE thugs WILL face the consequences of their actions.

Important to remember that many people got used to the National Guard posted up in DC very quickly, and folks outside of DC largely forgot it’s even happening. It doesn’t take long at all for it to be seen as normal.

Nestlé says thieves have stolen a huge shipment of KitKat bars from a truck heading from Italy to Poland.

With an Administration attacking women every day, the state of women in America can feel grim. But the women who came before us wrote the blueprint for our survival—from trailblazing activists to the women who surround us. Read my @baystatebanner.bsky.social Women's History Month op-ed:

#NoKings protests are happening all across the world today! Here's some pics from a rally in Hastings on Hudson, NY, from Democracy Docket Managing Editor @zackroth #NoKings

The big redistricting ruling we were waiting on. This is very bleak news for Missouri.

Tens of thousands filled the Capitol Mall in St. Paul with a clear message: NO KINGS. In America, liberties matter and power belongs to the people.

Massive no kings rally here in Missoula, Montana.

Besties since the 1960s. Did not expect to be protesting our government together sixty years later. #NoKings

Atlanta is showing up to say no ICE, no war, No Kings. #NoKings

Holy moly! Philly is showing up to march for No Kings!

The regime had no idea what it was going up against when Trump decided to invade Minnesota. #NoKings

Bernie Sanders: In the last year, I must confess I've been thinking a lot about American history…here, in this new nation of America, we don't want Kings!

What a great sign! 😂 #NoKingsDay #NoKings #FuckTrump #USNews #USPolitics

Disabled people already face significant barriers that make it harder to vote. Our government should be making voting more accessible — the SAVE America Act does the opposite.

I’m on my way to Minneapolis/St. Paul for No Kings Day 3.0! Grateful to be heading back to two of the greatest cities that are inspiring us to organize and fight back!

While food disappears from store shelves and prices increase, Trump addresses struggling farmers next to a gold-plated tractor.

Divorce, death, a big move, illness: Food may not fix anything, but these lovingly prepared meals can bring some much-needed comfort and nourishment. nyti.ms/4d8AQLR

he's just such a total human void. utterly lacking a single virtue of any kind

Who's gonna tell him?

I have two separate bsky accounts, one for news specifically because I can only take so much. I also try to go outside at least once during my work breaks (I watch the news at work usually). Definitely helps to feel the breeze and the sun, even for a minute.

It might seem impossible to get away from the constant barrage of news these days.

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

A statue of Christopher Columbus has been placed on the grounds of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House, the latest effort by President Donald Trump's administration to recognize the controversial explorer.

The White House released legislative recommendations that claim to be a national AI "framework,” but instead let Big Tech companies endanger our rights. Congress must reject this dangerous proposal, and leaders at the state and federal levels must pass new safeguards to protect our civil liberties.
