Exactly one year ago today:

Top five! Let's gooooooo! @feathersmcg.bsky.social is crushing it!

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

This flew under the radar: Trump's new acting AG Todd Blanche shut down major DOJ investigations into crypto companies, dealers, and exchanges as Pam Bondi's second-in-command — all while holding at least $159,000 in crypto assets himself. The fox is guarding the hen house.

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues. He had just asked to call his wife. They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw. Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

@feathersmcg.bsky.social DUDE, WE WERE FREAKING OUT! Phew!

Annddd 18 day win streak. 19 days let's gooooooo!

APNewsAlert: JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli military official says the country is still attacking #Iran, after White House said Israel agreed to ceasefire.

Taco Tuesday

This.

Anyone else fantasize about an EMP resetting the world?

@feathersmcg.bsky.social Game 16 let's gooooooo! We're rooting for ya'!

Iran is 100% defeated, but that last 0% is really putting up a fight.

Hell yeah, still going strong. Knocked it out today in that lucky orange!

A WIRED analysis of DHS records identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians during the largest known deployment of its kind in US history. www.wired.com/story/border...

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

BREAKING: Iran President Pezeshkian releases a lengthy public letter addressed to the American people ahead of Trump's address, defending its actions, denying it poses a threat, and blaming the U.S. for escalating conflict—while warning that continued attacks will deepen instability and resentment.

Day 12 of MN Traditional Media - 100% owned by Republican billionaires - total blackout of my freedom of the press lawsuit against the FAA. Not one - StarTribune, MPR, WCCO, Kare11, Fox 9, KSTP, Forum Communications - has even mentioned it. dronelife.com/2026/03/24/p...

He makes a persuasive case.

If you're an open source lover and infrastructure person (aka were roaming the halls of #KubeCon or will find all the storage and data pipeline talks at #ATmosphereConf), @roost.tools is looking for you! We've got fully remote, Infrastructure Engineering roles now open: roost.tools/infrastructu...

One of my clients was detained 2 wks after emergency gallbladder surgery and suffered a brain bleed shortly after being taken into custody. It's still not clear exactly what happened. Luckily, I was able to file a habeas petition within 2 days and ICE agreed to release him. So many stories like this

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.

Democratic House Rep. Maxine Dexter: “I just motioned to subpoena Don Trump Jr. for funneling $670 million in taxpayer dollars to a critical minerals company he has financial stake in. Republicans left the hearing room.” But…but…Hunter Biden sold a painting. 🙄

If I was Iran, I’d be saying “We will only negotiate with Obama”

ANGIE CRAIG, HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BUY ONE OF YOUR VOTES? ASKING FOR A FRIEND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. - OQX J LOL

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

A normal Congress would simply pass the bill, have the President veto it, and then override the veto

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

BREAKING: In our FOIA case against DOGE, the government asked Judge Boasberg to reconsider his order, now I bet they wish they hadn’t. The govt now has to find and preserve comms from Elon’s private phone. @nationalsecuritylaw.org @annabower.bsky.social storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You mean to tell me that a chomo, rapist, fraudster is also a liar? I am shocked.

My sources say it was former president John Barron

“Mohammed, five, Othman, seven, who was blind and had special needs, their mother Waad Bani Odeh, 35, and father Ali Bani Odeh, 37, were driving through their hometown of Tamoun late on Saturday when Israeli forces opened fire.” Shot in the head and face. Executed with their parents. No words.

The federal government isn't supposed to detain immigrant children for longer than 20 days. But when a Russian asylum seeker with 5-year-old twins asked why they'd been held for longer, an ICE officer falsely claimed the 20-day rule had been voided. Says who? he asked. "Trump," ICE responded.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.

Big government conservatives doing big government things.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

They're calling it SuperBenghazi.

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.

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks new DHS policy that would allow arrest of thousands of legal refugees. "The new policy turns the refugees’ American Dream into a dystopian nightmare," Judge Tunheim wrote. Tonight, at Law Dork:

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
