It takes a lot to stand out as a genuinely shit organization in MLB but the Rangers put in the work

The Catholic bishops have just made crystal clear the reason that the pope is right and JD Vance is wrong: A just war can't be a war of choice, which this one clearly is. This is a crucial theological, political, and moral argument, and the clarity here is needed and powerful

Trump has gotten $1.4 BILLION richer since he retook the White House. Him and his billionaire friends now hold a record $8 TRILLION in wealth.

Gas, housing, healthcare, and childcare cost more. Our wages aren't keeping up with inflation.

We are being scammed.

Enough!

#TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn

The average U.S. gasoline price is $4.12 a gallon.
It was $2.37 when Biden left office 15 months ago.
The Trump regime wants you to think a 74% increase in the price of gas is no big deal.
It is.

“Alligator Alcatraz” Guards Allegedly Beat Prisoners for Requesting Phone Access The ACLU told a judge that guards were obstructing her March order to provide phone access in the jail.

As a result of our lawsuit, guards at "Alligator Alcatraz" are required to allow people detained at the facility to call their lawyers, in accordance with the Constitution.

Yet when our clients asserted their right to access phones, guards brutally beat them. ICE must be held accountable.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS:

Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy.

He stood in front of an ICE bus for legal asylum-seekers.

The FBI came at dawn.

The prosecutor quit rather than charge him.

Opinion | Beware conservatives promoting “intellectual freedom” Victor Ray: This conservative lie about schools like mine is furthering authoritarianism

Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

Wow! That looks amazing!

I filled my car up today. At $6.19 a gallon in So California now, it cost me almost $85 for my small SUV. Fuck you Trump! Worst president ever!

One of the key reports used to justify the re-opening of an investigation into Fulton County’s 2020 election results “provides no coherent theory or evidence of fraud,” according to a review by conservatives at the nonpartisan nonprofit States United Democracy Center.

Love, love, love this idea!

Good for them. Hopefully other communities follow their example. Not just with data centers but also with the 100s of other schemes big corporations use to wreck small communities just to line their own pockets.

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

If the Feds start banning books, I’m hiding my TBR pile better than Jimmy Hoffa's body #HideMyTBRLike

How would you hide yours?

Sign the petition and stop the Federal Book Ban Bill.

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
One for the history books
www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I would read that much more as Raskin having a clear understanding of the process and requirements for impeachment to be successful, and knowing the numbers aren’t there. More succinctly—can Trump be impeached vs should he be impeached

We are not legal experts — is this what innocent people do?

It’s illegal for ICE to be at the polls to intimidate voters. Period.

Remove. Him. From. Office.

I’m Team Pope Leo.

And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece?

This is repugnant.

Official Mail-in Ballot Drop Box

We’ve all heard the inflated claims of voting fraud and unfounded issues with mail-in ballots. The New York Times explored a number of these claims and did the fact-checking we all need finding little evidence to support them. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u... @lwvus.bsky.social

Republicans in Congress support this.

It’s that simple

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:

Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

I agree w/ frustration they need to be bolder and say directly he must be removed. But this isn't nothing. It is still unprecedented in American history, the opposition party directly insisting POTUS is literally insane. That's not trivial, this is real escalating constitutional crisis territory.

2026 Wishlist for Rikers Bookshop.org Custom Registry

I can't do much about anything but I could do this.

Get some (specifically requested) books into the hands of incarcerated folks at Rikers & support an indie bookstore at the same time.

(+ I ordered @chanda.blacksky.app's The Edge of Space-Time for me bc why not have faith that tomorrow will come)
