People should be required to experience ICE's illegal brutalities before being able to claim that they support #ICE and their methods.
Some cities in the United States are warming much faster than the nation as a whole. Reno, for example, has warmed nearly three times as much as the national average since the first #EarthDay in 1970.

The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
Oil prices are shooting back up.
There's no end in sight.
Trump never had a plan, never had an endgame, he just hoped Iran would fold. Catastrophically wrong, as usual!
Trump and the complicit Republicans caused an inflation & affordability disaster.

Interesting: @chenderson.bsky.social has a bill that would ban surveillance-based pricing (price changes based on algorithmic assessments) in D.C. That this happens in D.C. was highlighted in a study by @groundwork.bsky.social and @consumerreports.org late last year: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/b...
The executive director of World Press Photo said this image shows the inconsolable grief of children losing their father in a place built for justice. It is a stark and necessary record of family separation following the U.S. reform policies. n.pr/4d0E5EA
Never stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles. Never.
This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.
Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.
Republicans are complaining that Virginia’s new electoral map favors Democrats. They should use their newfound realization that gerrymandering is antidemocratic to work together with Democrats—and ban it, @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.
Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
A golden retriever has both paws up at a bank teller’s window.
“Are you the branch manager?”
“Yes I am, how can I help you?”
“I would like two branches, please.”
“How would you like that?”
“Two big sticks, four little sticks.”
The cracks spread, glass fractures, & then it all falls apart.
Once again, I must remind folks that prices per barrel and GDP figures are insufficient for measuring the scope of the present crisis. Pieces of our economy are shutting down & that will inflict substantial downstream harm.

The chief science officer for the U.S. flagship HIV/AIDS program left his role this week and criticized the Trump administration's cuts to foreign assistance and what he said was its use of aid as leverage for U.S. commercial interests.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.
Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
U.S. homebuyer demand just hit its lowest level ever for the month of March.
According to NAR Pending Sales, contract signings fell yoy to an index of 73.7.
This was the worst monthly reading for March ever, even lower than 2008-09 crash. #EconSky
It is hard to overstate just how big a catastrophe this is for the U.S. trib.al/l6cLNyt
Trump's hubris cost thousands of lives, rattled economies around the world, and made the U.S. significantly weaker.
The Fed is a policymaking institution, not a fact finder.

Eight children, aged between one and 14, were murdered today in Louisiana. Eight! And now the US administration is urging people to “pray for” the victims. Never once is gun control even mentioned. This is the 130th multiple-fatality shooting in the US this year - and it’s only April!
