It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

Morbidly curious if Iran could come up with a gift to Trump big enough to get him to “it’s fine if they have nukes. Big deal.”

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

“Gratuitous Cruelty: The Supreme Court Just Unleashed Trump” In a cold-hearted decision, writes constitutional law professor @kimwehle.bsky.social for Zeteo, five conservative justices allowed the president to restart his deportation plan. Read/share/subscribe:

Craving: frosted flakes with sliced bananas.

Nothing to see here. Just a mentally ill president firing national security staffers at the behest of a mentally ill outside advisor.

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

No sleep till Marfa. Excited to be included in the 2025 @marfainvitational. It’s an honor to show with so many talented Texans and I can't wait to meet them. Thank you to the curators for this opportunity. Looking forward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and eating at @bordo.tx 🤠

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

2 newest. I was looking forward to enjoying them on the walls but they sold before I had the chance. 🙏

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.

Pretty unconscionable not to get Gio or Luna out there against a team whose whole approach is "you can't pick locks."

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

But of course the Trump Administration KNOWINGLY IGNORED a federal court order… The utter disregard for the rule of law is stunningly on brand. Judge Boasberg will most certainly demand answers. www.axios.com/2025/03/16/t...

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man". What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

Post-truth is pre-fascism. "To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights." — @timothysnyder.bsky.social

The Trump admin canceled contracts with Maine's CDC supporting "enumeration at birth" -- the way 99% of American babies get their Social Security Numbers. Now Maine parents have to visit field offices in-person to get their newborn SSNs Why? No reason given. www.huffpost.com/entry/maine-...

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

So, actually, it always was Russia.

This quote goes hard, solely cause it doesn’t blame Pennsylvania for making this choice TWICE.

This is the person who disrespects the Oval Office Daily

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

Yay came home to copies of this new book by the homie Luis. There’s a section on Pep - looking forward to reading that

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

“During a Tuesday interview on MSNBC, …Conway opined that Republicans ‘just want to burn it all down. … It is an attempt to destroy what they perceive to be as the enemy, which is the very government that they are charged with administering.’”

The Department of Veterans Affairs has terminated over 1,400 employees.

“A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through … a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a ‘profile in courage’ award.”

#MLS360 nights are 👨‍🍳 💋

MLS should be posting highlights on BlueSky. 🙂

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.
