once again I am compelled to mention that Bush v. Gore likely went down the way it did because Sandra Day O'Connor cooked her brain on talk radio scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...

DHS is younger than Mountain Dew Code Red, we do not need it.

16 years and two Trump terms since Obamacare, and despite doing everything to dismantle it, the Republican Party still hasn't provided a single proposal for an alternative. Because the Republican plan is for all of us to die prematurely and broke.

Seeing the stock market react to Trump’s truthsocial posts reminds me of ancient kingdoms where augury was used to plan crop harvests

If you had told me back in 2016 that Trump would weaponise a violent militia against all jurisdictions to take over airports, I would have believed you because I know how narcissistic abusers work.

Yes, I would go so far as to say, their question is... "Are all people human beings?"

Thank you, Janet - don’t forget to look into Platner family history of tax fraud and gentrification at Hancock public records @janetmillsforme.bsky.social

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Whenever I hear about the leaky pipeline, I recall an interview I saw when I was an undergrad with a woman in STEM who said "I'm all for getting more women into the pipeline but people don't realize that the pipeline is full of acid." NIH and other grant terminations exacerbate this situation.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This new complaint against DOGE is truly cranked up to 11 from start to finish. What a way to start a lawsuit storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... h/t @mikesacks.bsky.social

This whole saga has just reinforced my theory that anyone associated with 2010’s gamer culture is a cognitohazard that should isolated for the good of society.

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

EXTENDED CUT: Watch until the end for 3 min of nonstop dancing aurora last night in my driveway from North Pole, Alaska. Insane show!

The investigation into the deadly collision between a plane and fire truck at LaGuardia was initially slowed because the specialists traveling to New York were delayed by long security lines at other airports. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

the failure of the Mueller Report, ultimately, was the successful result of the conservative project to make sure that what happened to Richard Nixon would never again happen to a Republican president

Notice how ever since Trump started this illegal war, no one is talking about the Epstein files?

3,300 passengers travel through LaGuardia every hour, every day, every year. 29 million total. Running that airport with a single ATC in charge of both sky and ground traffic is inexcusable and if the shortage is that bad then we need to shut some airports down

The last para is the punchline: Trump also warned Senate Rs he would slam them publicly if they didn't stay in DC over recess, then invited them & families for WH Easter dinner. Some R Senators took thay as a threat, not a reward. Oh my 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"The Justice Department is increasingly telling judges it can’t defend ICE’s actions..." www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

It was Pete's idea. Let's give all credit to Pete.

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

It's that time of year again where I'm writing recommendation letters for seniors whom I've seen grow from shy and awkward frosh to accomplished and brave leaders. It's an honor to be able to guide youth through some of their most formulation years as young adults. Kinda weepy.

I am not pointing this comment at anyone in particular, but: The TSA line has already been a fraught place for brown and Black travelers for as long as it has been around. The racism might get worse tomorrow, but it isn’t going to start tomorrow. That is all.

Trump announced a deployment without planning regarding TSA at airports. Transportation Sec Duffy suggests they will do pat downs and screenings. No, says Homan at same time, they will do line management at both sides of screenings. Planning not complete ⬇️

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.

Air travel is about to get a lot more dangerous for people of color, and also for trans people, and ESPECIALLY for trans people who have their actual gender on their ID cards (which the Trump administration considers fraudulent documentation) This could get unimaginably bad, very quickly

If ICE in the airports does materialize this should be yet another sign to journalists to stop using terms like "immigration enforcement" or "immigration crackdown" with regard to ICE. They are merely Trump's paramilitary force to be used as he pleases.

I would read the heck out of a book or article that explained why a disproportionate number of American fascists have been chiropractors. No shade on that entire category of practitioners, but it's definitely a theme that has emerged in my research on the US far right. Article is from 2001.

ICYMI — Ex-Trump White House Lawyer Ty Cobb: “He's a demented narcissist. He rules the country in a very authoritarian manner with the assistance of a cowardly cabinet and even more cowardly Republicans in congress.” (From @acyn.bsky.social )

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

My constant drum beat of "we need to reshore generics" continues

Unfortunately we are and remain one world. A Canadian-South African tech billionaire's support for an American political party leads to mass death in South Sudanese refugee camps in Kenya; an American-Israeli attack on Iran leads to Thailand buying oil from a Russia that is invading Ukraine.

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.

This is going to be horrific across lots of developing Asia. www.ft.com/content/64c5...

Not only is Bianco “an outspoken Trump supporter,” affiliated with the Constitutional Sheriffs movement, and an election denier, @latimes.com leaves out that he was a dues-paying member of the Oath Keepers. Now, he has seized half a million votes in Riverside County, including mine.

Just canvassed around 60 units in an immigrant heavy apartment complex that is attempting to unionize and ownership is threatening ICE in retaliation so now we’re trying to organize a support network, emergency plans for families

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

The Trump Administration's violence and corruption is impossible to ignore. I created the nation’s first Accountability Commission to gather the evidence of wrongdoing in Illinois by ICE so we can hold them criminally and civilly liable.

I think we're going win, but I want to win hard enough that we start paying artists to paint murals in post offices again. (This time the post offices are also banks.)

I like Sheen but allowing smoking indoors at convention facilities is several huge steps backwards for workers and public health. www.stlmag.com/news/alderme...
