LET’S GO BLUE!!! #michiganbasketball #wolverines

🇱🇺Luxembourg has enshrined abortion rights in its constitution, the second country, after France, to do so.

Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...

There has been white nationalist/Nazi content floating around in US political culture since the 1940s. What’s changed is that Trump’s GOP has become an institutional engine for amplifying and normalizing such garbage.

Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick? New video shows they were lying about that one, too. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

No one is coming to save us - it's up to us to save each other. To feed each other. To support each other. To be kind to each other. To lift up those that need help. What can you do to help now? Great read that should be shared widely - hachyderm.io/@inthehands/...

Trump has called on Congress to pass a record $1.5T defense budget. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

Hey media-- Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections. Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice. Language matters.

My favorite from "No Kings" in Denver.

It’s always hard to say no to your supervisor.

The President of the United States is a war criminal. Fact, not opinion.

Humpback whales perform an incredible bubble feeding spectacle right in front of a lodge in Canada. Witnessing this behavior is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We need to know how much energy data centers use – and if YOU are subsidizing the costs of Big Tech companies. Making this data public is the bare minimum.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

So what’s next after today’s historic No Kings Day protests? We’re glad you asked: nokings.org/whats-next #NoKings

Nope Nope #NoKings #Michigan

The party is on is Philadelphia where #NoKings protesters come energized with electronic music!

Holy sh*t! San Diego is showing up for No Kings! Massive protest!

🚨HUGE crowd at No Kings Chicago. "We can't even see the edge of the crowd!" -our @jtcestkowski.bsky.social reports. We're LIVE NOW. ⬇️

Hello from New York City No Kings 3 Protest New York City 1) #NYC #NoKings #Indivisible #NoKingsDay #FiftyFiftyOne

6000 people in Morristown said NO KINGS ❌👑 @indivisible.org @njindivisible.bsky.social

“The fact that organized protest can break the spiral of silence, and correct our impressions of what other Americans think, is one of the most immediate and important values of protesting in the first place. Scientists have [shown] protests update our impressions of what other citizens believe.”

The No Kings protest in Portland has begun.

Over 100,000 people here at the #NoKings rally in St. Paul Minnesota. This amazing crowd continues to grow. Our country belongs to all of us, not one person. Trump is forgetting this. He acts like he owns America. He does not. On this day from Alaska to Maine we remind him!

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

The ProPublica union has voted to authorize a strike. Around 150 journalists, videographers, copy editors and more voted to authorize, with 92% of the union voting yes. ProPublica allegedly rejected restrictions on replacing jobs with AI, and hasn't met other union concerns.

The end of local radio is a big part of the demise of local news. Radio news was always the worst paid, least respected part of the industry, but it played a crucial role. A functioning local music station could have a news department of just one or two people that was an essential public good.

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran. The answer is NO. We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

THREAD. I have to say that I am very disappointed with John Oliver. I finally watched his segment on police body cameras, and it was abysmal. Missed the whole point, and in the process bought into some of the worst copaganda about them.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life. I'm serious, read it all please

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

At issue is the mid-term redrawing of New York's 11th congressional district, including Staten Island and a small part of Brooklyn. n.pr/4rIhjWX

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Justice sure took a long while… apnews.com/article/henr...

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Libraries are among the few public institutions that represent the kind of world we want to live in. They must be fought for.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

GSWs at Penn win improved union security, protections against discrimination and harassment, better support for international workers, improved vision and dental coverage, more benefits for parent workers, improvements to accessibility and a 22% increase in the graduate stipend.

FBI refusing to share Alex Pretti shooting evidence with state investigators. "BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said Monday that the FBI formally notified the state on Friday that it won’t grant the access." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime: www.404media.co/leaked-email...

If you live in a red state, you may not notice ICE raids, that's because local police depts signed up to help ICE and are doing the work for and with them. Are they getting warrants? Are they profiling you bet.
