A demonstration at the Dilley Concentration Camp in Texas. Children and families have been imprisoned in the concentration camp in Texas for months, and all they’ve experienced is abuse, neglect, mistreatment, undrinkable water and moldy food. #SHUTDOWNDILLEY

Basket of picked green beans in the middle of the field for workers are harvesting
"Adan" shared this photo from the Coachella CA where hes picking green beans. "I get paid 40 cents per pound. The work is exhausting - especially due to the excessive heat in the area. But this is how I support my family." #WeFeedYou
Oh no! Hope you get to Bahamas soon!
Photo of a hand-painted banner reading "fred's TOP 30" in purple letters on a golden yellow background. The tops of CD cases are visible at the bottom of the photo. "fred's" and the drawing next to it are the logo for the fred's records store.
Guess which MUN professor is on Fred's Top 30? #WeAreMUN @munfaculty.bsky.social

There's a protest in Burbank, right now against Hilton Hotels for housing ICE
FUCK HILTON. Stay somewhere else.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
🚫 Hilton.
Two adult pigeons cooing on my balcony this morning. Scared them away, but am worried they'll come back when I'm not home! They nested here two years ago and it was AWFUL. Their humungous child was constantly demanding food and I couldn't use the balcony for weeks and by then it was covered in poop.
An NYT headline reading: Homeland Security Expands Deportation Fleet With High-End Jets
My headline from April 15 reading: Water is wet, and DHS's 'deportation fleet' boondoggle expands under Markwayne
The hed and dek of my story from February reading: ICE FLIGHTS Noem's luxury 'deportation' jet is the tip of the ICE-berg Kristi Noem's DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. Gillian Brockell 26 Feb 2026 - 9 min read
Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.
And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.
You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.
it's so cool how comfortably employed legacy journalists can just follow a bunch of independent journalists, rip off their stories, and still pretend they are better than the rest of us.
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Tell the truth and get fired.
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.
Admin at my university keep talking about how complex things are, and the complexity making it more difficult to plan, communicate, etc. They talk about how they are nimble and flexible. No, you're disorganized and irresponsible. We aren't facing a complex situation: we are facing chaos.
Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
It does not have to be like this.
A jury has ruled that Live Nation-Ticketmaster is an illegal monopoly.
A judge will determine whether or not to break the company up, in addition to other damages.
This is a big deal.
Remember that the Trump admin tried to settle the lawsuit with a slap on the wrist — but state AGs said no way.

Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor.
Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.
That's fantastic!
A tweet quoting Senator Andy Kim criticizing being denied a briefing on the Iran war, with a video still of him speaking at a press conference alongside other officials.
It's so bad they won't even brief Congress.
Dr. Wendy Okolo, a Black woman in a blue NASA jumpsuit, smiles for a portrait; next to it, she stands outdoors with two people in spacesuits, celebrating her achievements in aerospace engineering.
Dr. Wendy Okolo making Black HERstory. 🙌✨
Yes yes yes! True for Canada, true for NL, true for MUN.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
This is really poor reporting on attendance data. Global and Calandra are playing with numbers. That 40% refers to data that show only 40% of students are attending more than 90% of their classes. It does not mean only 40% are attending school.
*Question everything.
Kinda sad that my first thought was "ooh how can I join". The colonizing instinct runs deep. :(
BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.
These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.
And they put Trump's ego before America.
Every damn time.
Oooh I'm going to have the fanciest ascii signature ever!
Enjoy ascii art but find it too difficult to implement your amazing artwork? See below! ;)
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
Interesting that for taxes the base assumption is that fraud is not happening but for SNAP and MEDICAID they assumption is they are… so reach whatever conclusion from there
