And for $20 million you can buy the naming rights to "wife of LA Clippers owner Steve Balmer"

An American company really out here pushing an explicitly white supremacist agenda on taxpayer dime.

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

I keep saying how trans people have the unique ability to drive some folks insane but this is a perfect example of it. The Knicks owner personally stalked a trans woman going to Knicks games for years using his panopticon surveillance at MSG, solely b/c she's trans. www.wired.com/story/madiso...

How the Birmingham Police Helped Martin Luther King Find His Voice

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi and Nevaeh Crain died during miscarriages in Texas after doctors delayed treatment. The state’s medical board has ruled that substandard care led to the deaths, but the doctors were given minimal punishment. By Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser

No matter how often I see it, I never fully recover from how deeply ingrained it is in American culture that some lives matter and others don't, that some people get good seats, good schools, good neighborhoods - a good life - and others die for the equivalent of a parking ticket.

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite making $5.7 billion. This Tax Day, remember that you have paid more in taxes than a multi-billion dollar company—all thanks to corporate tax breaks from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

Aliya Rahman's attorney filed a federal tort claim against Homeland Security, alleging agents violated her rights during a forceful arrest.

Minnesota lost about 6,100 jobs over the month — double the rate of decline seen nationally. State officials say federal immigration enforcement actions likely played a significant role.

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.

I'm sad and want everybody else to be sad too - first guy to make cauliflower rice

America hates poverty above all things. This country will quite literally excuse domestic abuse, sexual assault, corruption, financial predation, and any manner of sins before it will forgive someone for being poor.

Bluesky: What is your birthdate I WAS BOOOORN BY THE RIIIVAH…

First ICE officer charged with assault for threatening people with a gun in Minnesota minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/16/f...

This, I can get behind.

Relevant to this specific event, but more importantly, relevant to the entirety of the Trump presidency and really most political reporting.

What a nightmare.

NEW: “Arrest as many people that touch you as you want to," Gregory Bovino told Border Patrol officers in 2025. But a review of hundreds of such arrests shows that charges brought against protesters and bystanders repeatedly fell apart under scrutiny. w/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Now... if that man not resigning ... she shouldn't be resigning www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I criticize Dems pretty often, but I have to say, it is a real artform the way the media can take anything Trump and the GOP do and lay it at the feet of the minority party. "Trump shot down a bald eagle, showing once again that Democrats don't know how to enforce the Endangered Species Act."

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball. Now being discarded as if he was human refuse. Shame on Syracuse for not intervening. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/04...

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

Breaking: ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.

Restaurant owner says DoorDash takes up to 30%, so prices get raised. Orders can sit 20–45 minutes before pickup, so cold food isn’t always the restaurant’s fault. Convenient, but you may not be helping the business as much as you think.

John Deere has to pay farmers $99 million to resolve a class action right-to-repair lawsuit. The company will also provide farmers with access to repair materials for 10 years. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

So sad it's true. So true it's sad.

*death, war, gas prices, kidnappings* The news: are billionaires happy?

Hair discrimination is as pernicious as discriminating against someone based on their skin color or any other immutable feature. No Black woman—esp one as spectacular as @CocoGauff—should ever have to explain the beauty of her natural hair. Shine on Coco! www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

The world would be so much more bearable if people could just own their own shit. "*I* don't want to live in a neighborhood where..." But instead, insecurity drives these people to project a non-exist majority to agree with them. Sir, be racist on your own merits, please.

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life” azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

They are commemorating executing two unarmed civilians, shooting an unarmed resident through a door, dragging a disabled woman from her car, kidnapping a 5yo, and flopping around on ice like fish. Take it as a reminder of the distance between propaganda and reality in authoritarian regimes.

Perhaps John Roberts, brave defender of the sanctity of the courts, might spare a moment from his lament to tend to the autocracy taking root on his watch.

Quite amazing to behold a tenured professor at the University of Minnesota School of Law decry the viciousnesses of others on Fox News, who proudly proclaims in his faculty biography that he uses the law to go after homeless folks while he also publicly says welfare programs are unconstitutional.

Except we’ve spent $50 billion, the Strait is closed and 3000 people are dead. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Pete Hegseth's Defense Dept appears to be caught in a lie. It involves deaths of 21 people (including at least 5 children), injuring 110 in Lamerd, Iran with sports hall and school. By a U.S. missile (PrSM) never before used in combat. NYT sources include: 3 US officials! 1/

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans: In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

These would be deplorable, inhumane conditions for any prison. The majority of these people have never been accused of a crime, much less convicted of one. Most, at worst, entered the country illegally seeking a better life. Some, not even that.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

And the three exceptions, who were Afghan, had their protected status stripped by Trump.
