It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.

Trump doesn’t care about violence against women. He exploits it to advance his political agenda. If he truly cared about violence against women he wouldn’t use it as a political football. Or post violent videos. And he would release the Epstein files.

Narcissistic injury incoming

Lawmakers have given final approval to a moratorium on data centers larger than 20 megawatts — the first statewide ban of its kind in the country. mainemorningstar.com/2026/04/09/l...

It’s wild that the biggest threat to world peace and the global economy is the president of the United States of America.

A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations. But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

He's so dangerous. What will it take to have him removed, ffs

The Trump administration on Thursday proposed weakening rules for the disposal of ash produced by burning coal that can contain hazardous heavy metals and contaminate groundwater. https://to.pbs.org/4tuWZc0

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...

The sharply conservative Supreme Court that Trump's three appointees remade is the first since at least the 1950s to reject civil rights claims in a majority of cases involving women and minorities, according to a detailed analysis conducted for The Washington Post.

The rich and powerful ONLY ever send the children of the poor to war. The rich in the US hardly if ever send their children and in fact go out of their way to make sure their children never fight in wars. We're just peasants to them. This draft will be targeted and focused on that.

Trump is using millions of dollars in foreign steel, donated by a Luxembourg-based firm, for his ballroom project. Last year, Trump said he had been offered a donation of steel — just days before the White House made adjustments to its tariffs that could benefit that firm, ArcelorMittal.

What should have been day 1 of the ceasefire became the deadliest day of the war in Lebanon. Israel carried out 100 strikes in 10 minutes, killed at least 254 in a single day and wounded over 1,000. With unidentified bodies outside of hospitals, that number is expected to climb.

I'm not sure why there's any discussion of whether Lebanon is included in the ceasefire or not. You don't want to trust Iran? Don't. But THE KEY MEDIATOR in all of this, the Pakistani Prime Minister, said clearly and unequivocally that Lebanon is included. Israel is violating the ceasefire.

Netanyahu's ongoing bombardment of Lebanon, which has killed civilians for weeks, threatens to plunge the region into even further chaos & unravel the ceasefire. Trump needs to stand up to Netanyahu. He needs to save the deal he negotiated. He has leverage. He should use it!

And Detroit just made buses free for all students, no ID required.

From a survey of 1,572 people aged 14-29: • Hopefulness regarding AI has dropped from 27% to 18% over the past year, while excitement fell from 36% to 22%. • Anger toward AI increased from 22% to 31%, while anxiety remains flat affecting 42% of Gen Z. I don’t blame them, it’s a bleak world.

Trump’s consistent portrayal of US service members as bloodthirsty is disgusting

The US can automatically register men to go to war but can’t register them to vote. They can afford billions on war but can’t give their citizens healthcare, housing, childcare or food assistance. War is profitable. People are cannon fodder. It’s exactly how the ruling class wants it.

I mean just show us the plan, if there is one…

Israel then conducted a massive airstrike campaign—the largest since the war began—against Lebanon without notice to the population of Beirut, after which it unilaterally declared that Lebanon was not included in the ceasefire. The White House is scrambling because Netanyahu undercut its agreement.

The Pakistan president’s proposal specified the ceasefire would include Lebanon. He posted it on X. Trump referred to agreeing with the Pakistan president’s proposal when he announced the ceasefire. He posted it on Truth Social and the White House shared it on X.

When I was an aspiring and then baby journalist, I dreamt of going to the WHCD one day. Within a few years I got how vapid and weird that whole class of chummy journalists were. After the Michelle Wolf backlash in 2018, I understood it was corrupt and antithetical to real journalism.

I even had to call my mother and ask her about it. I couldn't remember it 😭 I was sure we learned about it, but I just couldn't remember. (My mother and my grandmother were catechism teachers, even!)

I don’t mean to be a spoiler of good times but you should not party with the president if he fairly regularly threatens to jail or potentially bankrupt you if you don’t write the news how he thinks you should Like, skip the dinner and just go to the after parties if u really wanna party

Directly next to the Surprise, AZ warehouse recently purchased by DHS which they plan to refit into an IcE concentration camp sits another warehouse operated by Rinchem Company LLC. This 123,516 square foot facility is a hazardous chemical waste storage site.

The whole process around this has been hella problematic. No one was even talking about this, there are a lot of potentially dangerous privacy implications that need ironing out, but the House rushed it through in just a few days with no real thought. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...
