Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

In the 22nd century, Edwin Barbarossa has a Syndrome: eternal life. It could get him killed. But Edwin isn't fighting for his life--he's working to save live theater. Because that's where real #immortality is: in song & story. OFF THE SCREEN by Brenda W. Clough. bookviewcafe.com/bvc-announce...

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

This should be model legislation. A child who needs a name change usually has profound reasons, and those should be private. And parents, let’s stop with the “when you’re 18” noise. If your kid is unhappy with their name, better to change it now, while they can be protected.

With so much awful news, here is something to brighten your day:

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Rep. Jared Huffman: “If we’re honest about what’s going on, we have a madman in the White House who is running roughshod, who is running the most corrupt criminal grift in American history out of the White House.” #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

My dad once had this gigantic Rottie-mix who steadfastly ignored the neighbor’s hysterical male Sheltie. Then one day the Sheltie got loose and went at him in full view of like ten people and the Rottie sighed, grabbed the Sheltie, and dragged him into the barn. Just remembering that for no reason.

Congratulations Tom Steyer for receiving the most highly coveted endorsement a California Democrat could hope for.

New Jersey has joined nine other states in banning local participation in ICE’s 287(g) program, and it is the fourth state to do so this year. Is your state among them? Learn more:

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

What if we just cleared Congress of all the abusers and sex pests this week what is stopping us who cares what party they are in

HATE WILL NOT WIN, but it takes work!

I hope more people focus on the import of this turnout last year. Not least bc standing up to bigotry can itself be a rallying cry.

Now send JD Vance to run the publicity team for the new Harry Potter series.

To recap JD Vance’s week: •Failed as a VP & Catholic, silent as Trump threatens Pope Leo •Failed as a negotiator by not securing peace with Iran •Failed as a campaigner in what is a wipeout of Orban’s regime Reminder—Vance won his VP & Senate seats due to billionaire money. On his own he’s nothing.

Orban has lost. What a great day! (Unlike some sundowning clowns we know, he has admitted he lost, too.)

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

Good morning, Bluesky. We have a full stack of cats to start off the day.

The Artemis II mission has produced some impressive achievements and images, but it’s also felt like a wonderful road trip with best friends.

A feel-good story if you need it. Solar farms, wind turbines and geothermal heat pumps are breathing new life into former collieries bylinetimes.com/2026/04/09/f...

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

extremely bad time for an astronaut to find out he's a werewolf

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

I don't watch k-dramas but I did watch Kingdom on Netflix and if you don't know what it's about, a Joseon Dynasty king has become a zombie and the entire court has hidden this fact from the nation so they could protect the status quo while said nation descends into zombiedom—mentioning for no reason

www.powells.com/book/cumberw... A gem of a collection, three stories walking that knife edge between the grit of a different paradigm and the unseen world, written in taut, graceful prose. Best thing I’ve read this year so far

There is no way to watch the new 'Harry Potter' show subversively. If you're watching, you are buying in.
