My "Not involved in Aubrey Plaza’s pregnancy" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

One of the most dangerous things about this moment, in terms of US security, is the fact that Iranian propaganda is more factual than any given White House presser. The information ecosystem that creates is horrible for this county's security. Is there anyone left in DC who sees this?

The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.” Essentially, every single Bluesky user. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbis-new-p...

“It’s not clear when the Marshals Service ended the special deputation of Musk’s security detail or whether it has done so.”

“If we want to be considered a flagship university where top researchers want to come, where students think they’re going to get a great education, then we have to maintain that breadth. And breadth requires programs small and large.” —Jeremy Pressman, @uconnaaup.bsky.social

So making them “say uncle” is the latest goal for this bloody, expensive, senseless war? He also admits 🇺🇸 is against the war “Unfortunately”

A provision in the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will make Rosa María Carranza and an estimated 100,000 other lawfully present immigrant seniors ineligible. Her once secure retirement is in question.

Trump’s “It’s too bad that the Supreme Court can’t watch and study the Mark Levin Show tonight on the Birthright Citizenship Scam” is the legal equivalent of “It’s too bad all those scientists and healthcare practitioners don’t watch and study RFK Jr.’s tweets about public health”.

exactly what you hope for from a copilot, someone whose opinion you can't trust and whose expertise is suspect, a+ partner you while flying a plane, or, you know, making any choices in your life might i suggest an alternative that might be just as effective?

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

Exodus 22:21-24 For no particular reason.

$8 TRILLION DOLLARS has been spent in one month of this illegal war. We did not approve this war, would not have approved this war, & still will not approve the spending of our tax dollars for the coverup of trump’s many crimes against children & humanity.

RFK Jr. spotted rushing to Walter Reed Hospital, carrying a severed raccoon penis.

There are rumors that Trump is at Walter Reed Hospital. That’s not true. He’s at Trump Walter Reed Hospital.

the fundamental misunderstanding that this mistake requires is *wild*

The president's first post since an F-16 was shot down over Iran with one American still missing.

Zillow and Redfin should be making the housing market more accessible and affordable for Americans looking to a buy a home. Instead, they’re being sued for killing competition to juice their profits. Concentrated corporate power is making this country unaffordable.

It's going to be simple in November: how should we spending our money?: day care for kids to killing school kids in another nation

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

Trump is now asking American allies to "take the Strait" and "protect it" and buy oil from America. He said the Strait will "open up naturally" once the conflict is over. The Strait is already open, and Iran is making deals and selling oil -- just not to America.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

BREAKING Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable,” a federal judge ruled. Doc buff.ly/WcnQN4A

Concerns around private credit are mounting just as the Trump admin is expanding access to it Fund managers, lobbyists and lawmakers are now awaiting the rollout of a Dept of Labor proposal that would include alternative assets in 401ks www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/b... Alan Rappeport @nytimes.com

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

Oh, damn. I got his name wrong. It was not Jon Passant of @status.news who said that Brendan Carr treats the news media "as an enemy to be silenced and controlled." It was Jon Passantino. Sorry Jon. @passantino.bsky.social

Jon Passant of @status.news says a line was crossed by these words. I'm inclined to agree. www.status.news/p/brendan-ca... [no paywall]

As a historian, you might appreciate this one somebody sent me from LA.

This is insane. The @nytimes.com @nytimespr.bsky.social went into the replies of multiple trans journalists to tell them that they were wrong for correctly reporting that the American Medical Association called out the way the NYTimes mischaracterized the AMA’s position on gender-affirming care.

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

Today it's the airports, but soon ICE will be omnipresent in our lives unless they are stopped. Public spaces. The polling place. You name it. This is textbook authoritarianism and as long as the corruption of liberal democracy continues there will be more and more power vacuums for the fascists.

Is it happening again?

How long until ICE shoots someone in an airport? Think they can make it a week?

Enjoy the World Cup, visitors from around the world. I hope you don’t end up in El Salvador.

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society
