I'd love to see someone like @davidhogg.bsky.social make the point many of us are: What WHPC went through last night only begins to approximate what school kids across the US experience far too frequently. Thus far, this is being treated exclusively as a Trump thing, not a gun violence thing.

This is completely demented

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

The protest began Monday and involves detainees refusing food and, in some cases, work assignments.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

2 glorified Real Estate agents are negotiating world peace. Kushner is not a diplomat. Not a member of the State Dept. Not a government employee. Who is paying for his business trips? Taxation w/o representation every place we look.

When I covered Trump's tariffs, I discovered that orange crops have cratered in FL. This explains all the reasons--disease, climate change, overspraying, finance--why. slate.com/business/202...

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

Big one from Dawsey: “‘I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,’ Trump said in a recent meeting to laughs, according to people with knowledge of the comments.”

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today. You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: [email protected]

Really bad news…

Blowing people up and then bragging about it makes Trump feel strong and powerful. And his ego has been taking a beating lately, so he'll lean into this harder to compensate. He has bloodlust to satisfy.

Anyone who's had their right to fully exist debated by some sweaty white dude who's just discovered Schopenhauer will surely feel this in their bones, but nice to have @marawilson.bsky.social articulate it so succinctly There are no "devil's advocates." Just devils and dickheads

Everybody should know who @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social is. In this day and age it is more risky to keep your head down than to be the whistleblower that we needs. Right now, being called "a radical leftist" is a badge of honor. And imperative. Read her story here. 🧪 www.statnews.com/2026/03/12/n...

Great thread by @timothysnyder.bsky.social about 🍊💩 and the question he got about the Russians providing intel to Iran.

Time for my annual story time!! The TL;DR is that the links below will take you to donation opportunities for schools and other charities across Alaska that will be open for the duration of the Iditarod (starts Sunday). So bookmark the post below if you don't want to lose it. 1/

"The attack echoes some of the worst atrocities carried out by the U.S. military ... In March of 1968, American soldiers gunned down the village of My Lai, Vietnam, killing between 350 to 500 unarmed civilians, including children. Only one U.S. soldier was ever convicted for the horrific massacre."

Completely atrocious. And these dipshits in charge have not come close to justifying this horrendous violence to the American public. Fucking horrendous.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Framers of the Constitution collectively rolling over in their graves.

He’s doing this so that he has a less embarrassing case for why his name should be attached to it.

This whole statement from Portland Mayor Wilson is excellent. This is the sort of language I expect from leaders at this time.

Great starter pack

This is big business. The goal is to enrich his wealthy friends AND has ZERO to do with keeping America safe. A side benefit for Trump is that this cruelty makes him feel like a strong man when in reality, these acts make America look so weak. The Trump admin is Facist. #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

More Chicago

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

I remember a college professor of mine going on a rant about how the world was owned and ruined by “five old white men on yachts” And I remember thinking, well, it’s probably more that people don’t examine their own actions, it’s not like a couple of people control the world But you know what

Saving this nursingclio.bsky.social "Protests" series here for a new course on medical activism. Such a treasure trove.

This is also extremely embarrassing for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, who needs to resign as minority House leader.

The auditor of the state of Ohio, who is running to be the state's next attorney general, wrote an oped this morning that the Columbus Dispatch published on how Renee Good is to blame for her death. The subheadline alone is already chilling. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

Important thread with examples showing that this country has been teetering on the brink of fascism for a long time. Notice the percent of American adults that thought Nixon had been treated unfairly even after he resigned in disgrace: 30%. It's about the same percentage as the die-hard Trump cult.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Protectors, not protestors.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

More this.

Ron Johnson is a Russian asset

This is terrorism against all of us. We condemn death squads and nameless faceless thugs in every other country. We condemn it here. But our opposition leadership is severely failing us all.

I need someone to explain to me, like I'm five, why no state or local law enforcement/prosecutors are stopping this rampant crime. I recognize that it isn't magic wand simple, but there has to be a means of ending this SS terrorism. Also, why aren't state & local officials explaining this publicly?

The paramilitary continues to find new vectors of evil. There are many food pantries here but this specific one is www.tcfoodjustice.org/donate if you wish to donate.
