Inside the Knicks’ most bizarre loss of the season. “We have to make sure we’re locked in on making sure the success of the team is the No. 1 objective.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

ICE is refusing to release two children to their mother after detaining them with their father in Durango, CO. Police tried repeatedly to reunite the family but were denied. "In moments like these, our duty is not only to uphold the law, but to preserve our humanity," said Police Chief Current.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

When It Happens, blast any Democrat who "looks forward to working with Vance" directly into the sun. Democrats need to make it clear from minute one that they have this guy's number, know he doesn't have the juice, and that they're going to make his life a living hell from the moment Trump drops.

Hi. Daddy can’t catch me when I hide under the chair!! #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

My goodness I’m so sick of hearing about ways to protect physicians from burnout. It’s NOT burnout in the sense that you can teach us ways to cope! We’re some of the most resilient people out there. It’s the freaking US healthcare system that makes us angry and unsatisfied. Fix the moral injury.

🚨 MAYDAY 🚨MAYDAY 🚨MAYDAY 🚨 Protests across Indiana on May 1st, 3rd, and 4th. See you there 💙

Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

Here are some more details: www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

They aren’t even trying to disguise their attacks on the Judiciary hrf.org/latest/the-d...

The news that the FBI arrested a sitting judge dovetails with what @mford.bsky.social wrote for today: What began as a plan for mass deportation of immigrants has spiraled into a broad campaign against American citizens and their constitutional rights newrepublic.com/article/1943...

It seems like a judge magistrate in New Mexico who very recently resigned (after being investigated for having some Venezuelan migrants living in his casita) was also arrested today. www.koat.com/article/las-...

This is another case that's somewhat bizarre. The judge seems to have been hosting three Venezuelan men with pending immigration court cases in his house. Unclear why, but there's nothing illegal about that. ICE says they're all Tren de Aragua, which I seriously doubt.

“The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.” Hannah Arendt

It's interesting how quickly some are to believe anything negative we're told about Garcia by lying assholes who have a vested interest in demonizing the guy to cover up their own fuckups. It's largely driven by racism, I reckon.

amazing article reporting how scientists inspecting planets at an unfathomable distance identified the remote possibility of extraterrestrial life— a holy grail of science and perhaps all humanity— and then the end is “anyway Trump took all our money so that’s that” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s...

The story gets you all excited about this molecule in the air of a distant planet that is believed to only be produced by living organisms, and then it ends this way:

Remember, the thugs falsely calling Garcia a “terrorist” or “gang member” are the same idiots who enacted massive tariffs on an island populated only by penguins, and put our Navy pilots in danger by planning military attacks via emoji-filled group chats on an insecure app.

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

Remember this isn't even the guy that the Supreme Court is insisting be brought back. This is ANOTHER guy picked up and shipped to the gulag for no reason.

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Princeton has announced that it is considering selling approximately $320 million of taxable bonds. The bonds are a way for the University to raise short-term funds. The major credit-rating agencies rate University bonds AAA, the highest level of creditworthiness.

Princeton > Harvard

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

3 years anniversary of my forever home day. I was such a fluff ball

Hi friends. It's official podcast launch day! It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton's first episode, a wonderful story called Rock, Paper, Scissors, Love, Death, by Caroline M. Yoachim, is now available wherever you get your podcasts. I'm so excited and pretty anxious! It's a big day!

This excuse-making rap is instantly familiar if you've studied cults like QAnon and NESARA. The Great Thing happening on "Day One" becomes "a few more days," which becomes "a couple more weeks," which becomes "definitely by September." Excuses to keep the followers engaged.

For years I’ve contrasted the way that US science allocates cognitive effort from the bottom up via individual scientists responding to career incentives with the way things were done in the Soviet Union, from the top down, by the Party setting rear b priorities. I can’t do that anymore.

A Supreme Court Justice who rules that President Biden can’t forgive student loan debt without an act of Congress, and rules that President Trump and Not An Official Position Musk can cancel any Congressionally-enacted spending they personally dislike, that Justice clearly isn’t ruling based on law.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

come on, CNN. These are not "unconventional" treatments. They are INEFFECTIVE ones. They are nonsense. They do not treat measles because there is no treatment beyond palliative care.

Enough about the price of eggs, from everyone. Cut the shit. The economy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as they designed it—to keep you desperate, distracted, and exhausted while they cash in.

New Mexico’s Otherworldly Bisti Wilderness…

Now, if she had a spine, she’d change the label after her name from (R-AK) to either (I-AK) or (D-AK)

My hooman thinks he can get away with his shenanigans, but I’m watching!!! #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

This whole thread -- and the impact of these USAID contract cancellations -- is important to read. But I also want to re-emphasize that USAID is heavily earmarked, with Congress telling the agency it *must* spend such and such amount on such and such areas. What they're doing violates the law

Stop the world. I want to get off. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

I’m really enjoying this 38-13 Knicks season. I hope my innie is enjoying the games against Boston, OKC and Cleveland. Thanks to @benstiller.redhour.com and Lumen for allowing me to undergo the severance procedure. Praise Kier. #severance #knickssky

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

I need to post a timeline cleanse #dogsofbluesky #bernesemountaindog #corgi #corgicrew

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!

you first, Elon
