So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it: International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.

Whom to believe? 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/w...

Since Liberation Day, a year ago today: * US foreign direct investment is lower * US factories employ 89,000 fewer people * US goods trade deficit is UP 2% @npr.org www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

the most vile pieces of shit

Nantucket! Take out your map and look at it. See what a real corner of the world it occupies

The closer he gets to the end the more obvious it is when he's making shit up as he goes. None of this is a thing. He's just yanking ideas out of the Poltergeist closet in his head.

jim jones had a 100% approval rating from all those people who drank the koolaid too

A message from the president of the United States:

I was about to say unbelievable... but its completely believable this is his response

“Baby, we don’t need to use a condom. I don’t have any ID!”

> @gideonrachman.bsky.social

seems like the clearest purpose of the war is to reopen the thing that closed because of the war?

Every Trump admin answer about the war is PRECISELY why no previous president has ever been dumb enough to start exactly this war with Iran. Like all of this — all of it! — is why everyone else considered this too stupid to attempt.

Pretty special to witness a prosecutor violate her ethical obligations on live TV.

Color blind and merit based bsky.app/profile/mger...

All Hegseth can see is tactical success, so he’s mystified why people are reporting on strategic failure.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

hi i’m johnny knoxville and this is stand up paddle boarding the straight of hormuz

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Remember how this guy lobbied hard to get a pardon for a war criminal who slaughtered children? Turns out that’s literally his entire philosophy of armed conflict

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

I’m a hell no on funding for Trump’s illegal, disastrous Iran War.

Most telling part of this rant: That the war will go on until "we decide it is over," not until the aims of the war are achieved - because there are no stated aims; and Trump prefers having none, so any result will allow him to try to claim a "win."

In retrospect, changing the name from Department of Defense to Department of War was a red flag.

Dick Cheney was more visible in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 than Vance is right now and he was in an underground bunker.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

He got that from shaking too many necks.

America's being led into war by a rambling, disassembling old man with no plan who gets distracted by the golden drapes next to his podium.

Donald this is your elections advisor. Please keep advocating for an open ended war in the Middle East that you "wont get bored" of

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom. In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

A minute ago, Trump said the war with Iran would take as long as necessary. "I don't get bored." He is now discussing the drapes he selected for the East Room.

Historically, these are TERRIBLE polling numbers for day 1 of a major US use of force, particularly against a well known and disliked adversary. Usually it only goes down from the start

So just to be clear - Hegseth’s Pentagon is shooting down our own drones with lasers in Texas — but they want Anthropic to put fully autonomous killer robots in their hands? What could go wrong?

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

If only Trump would fight the pedophiles the way he's fighting to keep everything you buy more expensive.

“I want to be a good boy” is wild

Of course Trump's upset. These tariffs were fundamentally the most powerful weapon he had to threaten and bully any nation in the world on a whim.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Wife: Why didn’t you do the dishes yesterday? Me: the dow is over $50,000!

The Trump administration, back turned and eyes averted from the truth about Epstein.

“The Epstein class” is an absolute bar.

The normalization of Trump will be studied by historians. How did this happen? Who contributed to it? This tragic episode in our history will be compared to McCarthyism or the rise of American fascists in 30s. For those still excusing him, maybe now is a good time to get on the right side of history

For someone who treats shitposting like a full-time job, it’s extremely revealing which days JD Vance decides to stay off social media.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."
