Multiple Democrats need to drop out of the California's governor's race in order to not split the vote and advance two Republicans to the general. A candidate credibly accused of sexual assault AND of using his role to shill for a side hustle should be the first to go www.notus.org/democrats/de...

A USC freshman lost an eye after a DHS agent fired a projectile during a "No Kings" protest in Los Angeles.

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

RIP. I will never forget the police brutalizing him — and then that one cop stopping the other cop from helping him

I’ve never once reached a human when I call @schiff.senate.gov or @padilla.senate.gov ‘s office. But I always do when I call @replsimon.bsky.social. Is it a matter of call volume or not caring enough?

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

“This is not how I imagined getting old,” said Rosa María Carranza, who will be disenrolled from Medicare as part of the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, after paying taxes for 24 years. Nearly 100,000 lawfully present immigrants are slated to lose Medicare, reports @eltimpano.bsky.social ⤵️

So the thing about the drama that not enough people are talking about is that it's not drama but a legit smear campaign from the right and music execs. She said "give artists health insurance" once and they said "well we gotta take her down"

Men get emotional about women sports,,, I just try do it in a positive way

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

please note that the law says cops can stop & identify people they suspect of a felony Watering Flowers While Black is not a felony! and the law doesn't mention physical ID either! But the Alabama court said cops could arrest the pastor for not handing over ID ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

President of Wisconsin's largest mosque taken by ICE. Othman Atta, a mosque official, said deportation docs focused on his arrest by Israelis as a teen living in the West Bank. Convicted in an Israeli military court – known to extract confessions by torture. People need to make noise about this!

Now about those AI contracts the CSU has... "CSU Chancellor earns $87,000 off Board position annually, while the same company ‘partners’ with the CSU...No disclosures were made by the CSU about the chancellor’s role"(h/t @cfaunited.bsky.social) csulauniversitytimes.com/csu-chancell...

Some governments still intrinsically get this - but no sign that any of them are in the US, where policy conversations are focused on gas tax suspensions, which diminish rather than expanding state capacity. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w...

The long process to mission-certify hardware is the deciding factor. Multiple systems must work together in space, so changes in operating systems affect interoperability between systems and end up getting pushed back.

Even if Trump loses at the Supreme Court, I promise you that opposition to birthright citizenship is already mandatory for any future Trump judicial nominees. The conservative legal movement never treats a decision it dislikes as "settled." It just waits for another shot.

while I think folks generally understand how Trump's birthright citizenship order threatens a ton of newborns now, I don't think it's fully appreciated how it also threatens everyone bc if he can arbitrarily revoke citizenship from them, why not from you? ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

ICE has understandably become the shorthand for immigration enforcement, but these guys are actually from BORTAC and BORSTAR—specialized Border Patrol units that aren’t even in theory supposed to be involved in routine civil immigration work.

NEW: @wired.com has ID’d a number of the masked paramilitary agents in the exceedingly violent unit surrounding Greg Bovino that formed the leading edge of the invading force the federal government sent to Chicago last fall; @awinston.bsky.social and @regret.bsky.social have the story.

In Mississippi, some victims of Winter Storm Fern have had to dig into their life savings and take on second and third jobs to put their lives back together. And with Gov. Tate Reeves vetoing a winter storm aid bill and no individual assistance approved from FEMA, their struggle is far from over.

I don’t understand why some excellent athletes also choose to play dirty. So undignified.

A hundred years ago, narwhals largely inhabited the San Francisco Bay Area, but the decline of their main food source, driven by overfishing, led them to migrate to more suitable habitats. The species’ rare appearance in the bay reflects improved conditions that could signal a comeback.

I remember when it was a scandal that a company laid people off over Zoom. Now that seems warm and fuzzy compared to the norm today. Oracle laid off 30K people with a 6AM email with a link to click and accept terms if they wanted severance.

The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association spent $30K to promote the lie that a “deputy sheriff saved Ward 86 from a rapid mass casualty stabbing.” That was a total fabrication. It was public health workers who stopped the assailant while the sheriff watched. missionlocal.org/2026/03/sher...

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!

MSF welcomes @who.int’s new guidelines for lenacapavir, a game-changing #HIV prevention drug. But we’re deeply concerned about restricted access due to Gilead’s licensing limitation.

Often overshadowed in the attention around Trump’s pardons is the emotional and financial devastation left behind. Few decisions illustrate that more clearly than the case of Joseph Schwartz, who paid himself millions from his nursing homes while diverting money owed to taxpayers and employees.

police lie, and have no duty to protect you

Good afternoon. Speaker Johnson was sent a bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA that passed the Senate 100-0. If he had simply called it for a vote it would passed easily. But he chose chaos. Because that’s what Trump wants. Only Johnson can clean up this mess.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

"I'm a cop, I don't understand the law" is literally one of the most on-brand things I have ever heard in my life

A remarkable photo from #NoKings in DTLA from Connor Sheets of @latimes.com www.latimes.com/california/l...

Headed back to the Bay with all three points 💪

Just caught up to the @bayfc.com game and so, so pleasantly surprised! #nwsl

There’s a feedback loop between right-wing ideology and the depravity economy (i.e., everything can be better on). All relationships are transactional centered on self, no joy in experiencing others’ work, creation, athleticism, grace, let alone being.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

ICE locks tens of thousands of detainees nationwide in a network of 170 "hold rooms" spread across 49 states, which are forbidden from containing beds. Today, we are publishing location and detainee information about all 170 facilities. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl...

Just my opinion but the executives saying this are playing in everyone’s faces. Films not centering white leads can do huge business and yet studio biases and “skepticism” will remain firmly in place. If we wanna get specific about rom-coms, see “Crazy Rich Asians” (plus it’s IP! And yet no sequel)

NEW: While police say they won't use Flock for "traffic violations" and only serious crimes, Georgia State Police used the networked surveillance camera system to issue a ticket to a motorcyclist who was allegedly looking at his cell phone while riding, 404 Media has learned.

if you want to know the history of this kind of policy, I made a podcast two years ago that explained why these tests make no sense, how they were already used and eventually abandoned by the IOC in the 80's and 90's, and the devastating impacts they have on real athletes: www.tested-podcast.com

BREAKING: For the 11th time, Republicans have blocked Democrats from paying TSA. Republicans have been given ELEVEN chances to send TSA agents their paychecks, but they refuse.

9) “This is not a happy story in terms of the security of the U.S.,” said Tony Sager, who spent more than three decades as an NSA computer scientist and now is an executive at the Center for Internet Security. “This is not security,” he said. “This is security theater.”

8) Yet my investigation — drawn from internal memos, logs, emails, meeting minutes, and interviews with 7 former/current gov employees & contractors — found breakdowns at every juncture of that process, as well as a remarkable deference to Microsoft. www.propublica.org/article/micr...

The original Gorilla Channel bit, from 2018. Relevant today as always. (This brilliant work was by someone on twitter, but I don't know who.)

Trump himself endorsed Republican Jon Maples and even cast a ballot in the race—by mail. At a public event yesterday, he declared, "Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating." Didn't stop him from voting that way, and didn't help Maples.

NEW: Documents obtained by @wired.com show that the salaries of a small NH town’s while police department are paid by ICE as part of its 287(g) program. @sammysussman.bsky.social has the scoop. No paywall: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Trump casts a mail ballot again in Florida even as he calls the method 'cheating'
