Pro-democracy movement has few viable options except to support Democrats as bulwark against Trump & larger neofascist movement. Supporting 3rd parties or not voting due to litmus tests is to effectively surrender the political battlefield to Trump and right-wing. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

BREAKING NEWS: Wisconsin joins 22 other states suing to block Donald Trump’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL executive order targeting mail-in ballots. Trump wants to take over elections. Wisconsin will NEVER let that happen. Time. To. Fight. Back. 😎✨

Garcia: Blanche just said that the Epstein investigation is basically in the past, that he’s not going to address it moving forward, and that all the documents were released. I mean, that’s just a bold-faced lie.

The new guy in charge of prosecuting crimes in the Epstein files.

while the March job numbers came in better than expected, the revision to February's numbers was significantly downward. 133,000 jobs lost just that month.

The US and Israel have bombed 600 schools, 281 medical facilities and 64,583 homes. Trump stated he intends to bomb them "back to the stone age". The US and Israel are committing a genocide in Iran. You can't destroy that many schools and hospitals by mistake. Americans need a reckoning.

BREAKING: U.S. job growth for February revised sharply lower — from -92,000 to -133,000 jobs, marking the largest monthly job loss since December 2020.

Coverage of UT bill has focused on the Christian nationalism aspect, but there are few other things going on in the bill that promise to lead Utah boldly into the past. curmudgucation.substack.com/p/ut-taking-...

Ironically, Sauer & the admin were arguing for “living Constitution,” meaning of which changes w/ historical developments. The argument is typically anathema for originalists and steadfast judicial conservatives. But it’s all the administration could proffer harrylitman.substack.com/p/the-birthr...

His filter is gone. This is what happens when dementia asserts itself. I saw this with my mom. She would say things that would embarrass us and herself but she couldn't help it. She was confused about taking her meds, needing to take showers and forgot to eat. This man is not competent.

There’s currently a frantic search taking place for two US pilots who were shot down in Iran, and this idiot is talking about taking the oil.

@dianeravitch.bsky.social provides a concise and dead-accurate synopsis of why there is no "science of reading" dianeravitch.net/2026/04/02/t...

'White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for Defense in New Budget Request. The huge, proposed increase would be offset in part by steep cuts to domestic programs, some of which the administration describes as wasteful' #NotAprilFool www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

"[IOW], the objective is not to reject digitalization [...but] establish boundaries around technology’s selective and sequential use over stages of a pupil’s educational development. This means introducing digital technology at later ages after basic reading and other skills have been achieved."

'This is a big deal, the first time social media companies have been held liable for harms caused by their products. These findings pierce the veil of Section 230, a law that had, until now, shielded Internet platforms from liability on free speech grounds' thegoldenhour.substack.com/p/the-greate...

Well, duh... "Trump accused of running ‘misogynistic administration’ after Bondi dismissal" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

There’s already a date onboard for a general strike May 1st, National Strike No work, no school, no shopping www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

Fourteen people have died in ICE custody so far this year. By mid-February, the agency was detaining more than 68,000 immigrants one of the highest totals on record, according to federal data.

Remember when Bondi actually said that there were no Epstein files and they never existed? That's this administration in a nutshell.

New, and wow does it pack a punch. youtu.be/F_DsUURCakY?...

Todd Blanche has the experience Donald Trump was looking for. After bribing Ghislaine Maxwell with cushy new country club incarceration to keep quiet about Donald, Blanche has already shown both the willingness and ability to cover-up the crimes of pedophiles.

So this is a bunch of bullshit: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

Zelenskyy: "We have confirmation from my intelligence that Russia shared and shares intelligence ... Russia helps Iran"

Every word out of Trump's mouth is a LIE. It has always been this way. The difference is, since his LIES are now affecting the lives of so many of his MAGA supporters, they're finally noticing. 😳👇

Well, you knew there wouldn’t be books

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

Justice Alito mansplaining the law to the ACLU's great Cecillia Wang is just...so on-brand.

We’ve had presidents who didn’t understand economics, foreign policy, diplomacy, and lacked knowledge of historical lessons. But they were advised by people who did and listened to them. Now we have a president who doesn’t understand anything and won’t listen to people who do.

Test scores do lie, all the time. They’re also misinterpreted by journalists, influencing your average reader to believe that Michigan public schools are failing, for example, tossing off context-free “data” as if it were God’s honest truth. teacherinastrangeland.blog/2026/03/30/i...

There are a lot of countries that allow birthright citizenship, but there is only one stupid enough to make you president.

Love me some infighting...

Bruce Springsteen gave a rousing five-minute sermon about the “corruption in the White House,” calling out Attorney General Pam Bondi by name and ultimately imploring, “Let’s fight for the America we love. Are you with us?” The crowd of nearly 20,000 exploded.
