"We need a 5% wealth tax on America’s 938 billionaires. Over a ten-year period, this bill would raise much-needed $4.4tn for public coffers," writes @sanders.senate.gov. "Let’s choose democracy over oligarchy."

I have a perennial affection for "Jail for mother"

So many good ones. This is in my top five:

I bring this one out every Thanksgiving.

I think about this one way too much

This one is a no brainer for me

Trump just listed the many legally authorized wars, noting how long each of them lasted, as his way of showing that his (thus far) 32-day, unauthorized war is not a problem.

The vibe of this address is very much like his middle-of-the-night speech on the night of the 2020 election: a lot of greatest hits mixed with various claims about how, actually, he won easily.

Trump gave a speech arguing for war in Iran 33 days into the war in Iran because his polls are at the lowest point of his presidency and 70% of voters oppose a ground invasion

Just one more week bro please bro Iran was just about to do something crazy bro please just $10 billion more please bro trust me they will hit us imminently bro please just two more just three more weeks bro please bro I promise you you’re gonna be so glad I did this just four mo

The conservative justices were on Wednesday, at times, appropriately skeptical of the Trump administration’s patched-together attempt to undermine birthright citizenship, a bedrock of American life for well over a century.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Reuters: Pope Leo said on ‌Sunday that God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars and have "hands full of blood", in unusually forceful remarks as the Iran war entered its second month. www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

Leavitt contradicts Jesus, who explicitly says in Matthew 6:5-6 to not do the exact thing she does here

Republicans Don’t Actually Have to Make Social Safety Net Cuts Again

Doctors say newly postpartum people need medical care, sleep and the ability to rely on friends and family for help. Immigration crackdowns have made that support impossible. https://bit.ly/3NBclNa

"One aspect of generative AI that has not changed over the past few years is just how confidently wrong a chatbot can be in its answers." @thiccreese.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/i-aske...

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

"There is plenty of legitimate fodder for criticism in Kristi Noem's record. No one needs to go digging into her husband's sex life for fuel... The Noems have enough to answer for. Let's not let a pair of balloon tits distract us from that."

Highly recommend everyone see "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist." My takeaway is we need AI regulation and Universal Basic Income immediately. We need to see a return on investment for all the subsidies we've paid these tech companies.

Reporting like this makes clear that Trump’s thinking about his war is completely incoherent and governed by whatever impulse he’s feeling at a given moment

Something has definitely shifted from the days of getting people fired for not being appropriately mournful.

Dismantling the Pentagon’s fledgling civilian harm-reduction effort, defense analysts say, is one of several ways the Trump administration has reorganized national security around two principles: more aggression, less accountability.

AOC was very famously a bartender, markwayne mullin inherited and sold a family plumbing business for millions, which of these two does the median american think to be more blue collar-coded?

like they stole a debit card national identity theft

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Just a snapshot of the type of bullshit that is happening

“Despite what the radical left says, this has been the most successful operation ever carried out on my face,” said outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

Just another public service announcement: don’t forget to periodically check to make sure you are still registered to vote in your state. Particularly married women.. they are trying their best to suppress our vote and/or make sure our voices are squashed.🗳️

I mean there it is.

while it’s the same category, this is orders of magnitude worse than what noem was fired for

Netanyahu on Newsmax scaring Republicans into supporting a war on Iran he has been pushing for nearly 50 years— even saying they’re “still trying to kill Trump” Playing us all for fools

I’m really glad to see Senators Warren and Shaheen sent this letter to Sec. Hegseth about the WEXMAC TITUS program which is helping fast-track the construction of immigrant concentration camps (and also floored and humbled that they link to my story about the program in the first sentence)

They're just an older, more credentialed version of the DOGE boys -- performing little tricks for their partisan masters because it's all just a fun little intellectual game to them, something that gets them attention, while the real-world pain will be felt by people they couldn't give a shit about.

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

The Mississippi Department of Archives and History says that work to process the suitcase's contents—which includes meeting minutes and propaganda pamphlets—could take months, involving housing, describing, scanning and indexing the material for use by patrons.

A 1963 Ku Klux Klan charter found in the materials said it charged its recipient "with the Sacred Responsibility for preserving Christian Civilization, and with the task of effectively and intelligently destroying any and all agents or agencies of Satan."

“A few weeks before the Second World War, nobody thought we would go into a war that would kill between 60 and 85 million people in less than five years. That’s why authoritarians want you to forget history.”

This is the kind of shit someone who's never touched a gas pump or cleaned a toilet comes up with. Lifelong coddling by ultra-privilige is a recipe for uselessness, not leadership.
