A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

This, combined with Lindsey Graham posting about a great call he had with POTUS about Iran five hours ago makes me really nervous.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Hungary lesson: Don’t debate Trump on policy. Name the corruption—and threat to democracy. Connect it to people’s lives. $3,800/household from tariffs. $2.5B gutted from the CDC. Billions in Trump family crypto profits while your grocery bill climbs and your kid’s school loses funding.

This just failed.

🚨FISA VOTE TONIGHT! 🚨 While you are sleeping, Republicans plan to jam a bill through the House tonight allowing the Admin to spy and collect data for the next FIVE YEARS. No warrants REQUIRED. No real assurances a shady AG, FBI, or DNI director will follow the law. I am a NO!

Here are the 7 senate democrats who voted to continue sending bombs to Netanyahu. Richard Blumenthal (CT) Chris Coons (DE) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) John Fetterman (PA) Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) Jackie Rosen (NV) Chuck Schumer (NY)

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!

I needed this today.

Listen, if Gallego is releasing his texts, I want the texts of Republican Senators and Members who hung out socially with Trump and Gonzales and other Republicans accused of predatory sexual behavior. Let's have full transparency across the board. Clean House, baby!

One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.

Hotlines for US soldiers thinking of leaving the armed forces as "conscientious objectors" are being overwhelmed. Almost all the calls mention the bombing of the girls' school in Iran that killed more than 100 school children. www.npr.org/2026/04/10/n...

If you’re still asking why Eric Swalwell got exposed now please read this.

NEW: The DNC just passed a resolution condemning dark money donations - including those to AIPAC. A member of the DNC proposed a resolution condemning dark money through AIPAC, but the DNC panel rejected that and expanded it to include all dark money donations.

To everyone who demanded that Dems fly back to DC to push for impeachment, 25th and/or a war powers vote: They did. Republicans blocked it. If you're not praising them today just as loudly as you were ripping on them a couple of days ago, guess what?

CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

genuinely think people outside of America don't realize how big this place is, how militarized and murderous our police are, how little our politicians care, how disconnected and impoverished we have been intentionally made to be, how we still have slavery just with extra steps. we really suck gang

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

1/ NYT out with a huge piece on the decision to go to war. It's much as we thought: Bibi sold Trump a rosy scenario that he heard over the mild to moderate warnings that it was BS but the details are so...appalling/demoralizing. Vance clearly a source: GIFT LINK 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

I'm branching out into new universes this year! Not only am I doing collaborations, I'm also participating in a thrilling virtual book festival on Discord: Fables & Filth Book Festival! It's a fun and different way to find new-to-you indie authors. Four days! April 24-27th! discord.gg/7Qeph8C2u5

for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

some authors say they use ai when they have writer's block. i've struggled to find words & energy this month & i'm on deadline, but i'd rather stare at a blank page for days than use ai to write. the writing is the POINT of being an author for me. you do you, but i will keep writing my own words.

Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: An investigation found that the Department of Defense has sent out outdated statements about the number of troops wounded or killed in Iran, appearing to engage in a “casualty cover-up." trib.al/0BdA1lY

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Folks are wondering what’s next after millions showed up at yesterday’s No Kings protest. The next one is on May Day, May 1st! There’s also a mass conference call on Tuesday, March 31st at 8–9pm EDT (register on their site). Spread the word and get involved!

We all know this is fascism.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

I'm so proud of my former hometown. I attended my first protest ever in Dallas back in the early 00s. It didn't look like this, and the news only covered the handful of counter-protesters. But then as today, it's important to stand up for what's right, and it's good to feed your soul.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

Hi! Your friendly neighborhood 82nd Airborne vet here to tell you 1,000 paratroopers is a command group+advance party and it makes no sense to send this element unless the plan is to send a fuck ton more ground troops relatively soon!

Everyone congratulate Donald J. Trump on his *seventh* bankruptcy. Glory!

This is a pretty incredible list of things Trump has done since No Kings II.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

The NBC News story about Corey Lewandowski is very important. The GEO Group-related claims are astounding, and later reporting in the story suggests that those allegations were not some one-time thing. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Pentagon is requesting the equivalent of $1,500 per American household to fund President Trump's unauthorized, unconstitutional, and unpopular war. Congress must say no.
