X poster blames SPLC for the Unite the Right rally
More than 70,000 likes for a post on X falsely claiming that the SPLC “planned, organized & paid for” the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally in 2017. This stuff is all over Musk’s X.
The reality: SPLC was using intel to warn the rally could turn violent.

Downtown #Pittsburgh looks INCREDIBLE tonight as the Wyndham is lit up for the NFL Draft. I saw that they were going to be doing this on the news this week, but it looks so much cooler than I thought it would. I stopped by the West End and Mt. Washington this evening, and these are some favorites.
This.
Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.
Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.
PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?
Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.
BIPARTISAN FORMER WHITE HOUSE ETHICS OFFICIALS CONDEMN RETALIATORY PROSECUTION OF SPLC

Giant health insurance companies, like UnitedHealth, are under investigation for corporate fraud through their Medicare Advantage plans.
We cannot give these companies one more taxpayer dollar, let alone the $13 billion HHS Secretary Kennedy just approved.
This is a pitch perfect response from @aoc.bsky.social -- she mocks their whining, she brings the receipts and then she uses this move as a sign that Democrats are moving to offense now.
So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

The WAY we tell our story to ourselves shapes our reality. I am grateful to @nancylevinestearns.bsky.social for following this so closely. She shares multiple insightful posts devoted to this exploitation and manipulation around our 250th celebration.
Got to come up with money to replace all those missiles Trump is shooting at fishing boats and elementary schools. bsky.app/profile/fact...
The Trump administration is removing protections for over 59 million acres of the National Forest System, opening untouched land to logging.
Back in September, I wrote about Ukraine's long-range drones. Now that they are regularly and accurately striking Russian refineries and oil infrastructure, I think it's worth reading again, for those who missed it. Gift link:

happy Earth Day, and on this day in 1970 was first Earth Day.
Let us all seek to protect this blue marble that all living things here depend on. Mother Earth really does care for us and hold us in her hands. So also let us elect leaders who seek to protect our planet.
NYC gives me hope for what this country could be.
The Trump administration, from top to bottom, is filled with spiteful malicious bullies who insist that they're innocent aggrieved victims.
My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans
“Trump’s barbaric extremists” ⤵️
Shame on us.I think of the brave Afghans who stood alongside us against the Taliban, esp. those I worked with during my years in command of the NATO mission there. Incomprehensible that we wouldn't bring them to the US, fulfilling basic obligations of trust & honor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...
Dear Republicans,
On Virginia, you got no one to blame but yourselves. We call this “hoisted by your own petard.” This is what you get for pledging your undying fealty to a corrupt, cheating, anti-democratic idiot.
Sincerely,
Your Former Republican Colleague
I’ve seen the chaos inside the Trump admin firsthand—and how his extreme plans are hurting Virginia families. I stood up to him when it mattered & have not stopped fighting.
Today, I launched my campaign for Congress. I’ll fight to undo the harm to hardworking Americans. Share if you’re with me.
Same.
I'm sure Alito is fuming about the Virginia vote and itching to strike down the rest of the Voting Rights Act as petty revenge.
But Democrats are likely retaking the House, maybe the Senate, no matter what SCOTUS does now.
Killing the VRA would just be a final insult that speeds court reform.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
not good
This coward will be the Chairman of the Federal Reserve in name only: Donald John Trump will be the COTFR.
The fact Patel either doesn’t have or doesn’t listen to advisors who could tell him that flying a govt Gulfstream jet to a place literally called “Boondoggle Ranch” is all you need to know about his FBI tenure and level of talent he’s surrounding himself with. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-nation...
