Four months ago, the Trump admin “temporarily paused” immigration benefits for nationals of 39 countries plus the Palestinian Authority. Tens of thousands of applications each month have just been stuck in a filing cabinet with no progress. People are stuck in limbo; some are even losing their jobs.

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

Finally got around to watching this, and it is just as funny as advertised

facial recognition and pretrial detention, what a combo

Her partner died in the Baltimore bridge collapse. The Biden administration offered her a way to stay in the U.S. Their 7-year-old is a U.S. citizen. The Trump admin is deporting her. www.npr.org/2026/04/23/n...

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park." The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

The Kids Are (Mostly) Alright: New Pew Study Deflates The Social Media Panic A couple weeks back, Jonathan Haidt published another entry in his ongoing campaign to convince the world that social media is inherently ruining kids' lives. This one was a victory lap titled “Seven Lines of Evidence…

Going to keep sharing this, because something I heard from sources is many felt like, after SNAP paused for the first time ever over the fall when the Trump admin refused to fund benefits, lots of people were talking about it. Now, people are still struggling but it feels like attention moved on.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.

Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of centrist and liberal media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social. > www.plutobooks.com/product/how-... > a.co/d/00CQcElr

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats • The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life

Every Democrat who supports giving Palantir a single contract is a xenophobe

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:

Palantir’s vision is the philosophy of Nazi political theorist Carl Schmitt dressed up in jeans and a hoodie. It is fundamentally anti-humanist, presents permanent conflict as inevitable, and seeks to build a technocratic power structure without even the minimal constraints of democracy.

URGENT ask for folks in NY 🧵: Gov. Hochul is once again holding the state budget hostage until she gets what she wants. And what she wants is to weaken our climate laws so she wont be breaking the law by failing to implement the Climate Leadership and Communities Protection Act. What you can do:

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor. The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Israel killed an average of at least 47 girls and women per day in Gaza. A new analysis published by the United Nations shows that more than 38,000 girls and women were killed in between October 2023 and December 2025.

All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.

Every single lackey who's carried out his illegal orders. Every single creep who's helped break the law by not properly releasing the Epstein files. Every minor functionary who's helped ICE and CPB violate the Constitution. They lose every asset, every single dollar. Financially annihilated.

Every billionaire who's conspired to violate the law and the Constitution with this regime -- their businesses get nationalized, their assets seized. They lose everything. Literally the rings off their fingers and the watches off their wrists get taken away.

Please don't tell me again how woke and great the Chicago pope is. There are reasons I have expressly requested to never be taken to a Catholic hospital for any reason whatsoever. This piece touches on some of them.

I’m not a lawyer, and I’m exhausted, so I can’t say exactly which part of the constitution forbids it, but if the constitution does not forbid the president from suing the government in his personal capacity and then ordering the government to settle in his official one, it forbids nothing.

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.

Best member of Congress on Palestine is also the best on Sudan— shocker

It’s important to understand that the plan was always to bullshit and continue strangling the Palestinians until The Day Of Reckoning came, when the IDF could finally just destroy the Palestinians. And that politicians across the white people world fully understood that this was the plan.

The entire Obama era was exclusively doomsday prepper TV shows. It was the only type of programming. And we lapped it up. Now during the actual human engineered apocalypse we only get state sponsored programming about how doing DoorDash at 84 years old is a good substitute for universal healthcare.

The Russ Vought hearing is starting now. It's the first time Vought has testified before Congress since his confirmation hearings, so it's the first time Congress will be able to question him about the onslaught of illegal budgetary actions he has undertaken. I'll be posting in this thread.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States. Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay. Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
