I'm here in Mount Kisco, NY to tell Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the GOP
HANDS OFF AMERICA
Much of the focus on today's events will probably be the large rallies in big cities
But make no mistake
It is the smaller rallies
The local rallies
That will be the backbone of this movement

Excerpt of Mahmoud Khalil's new op-ed
Mahmoud Khalil's new op-ed from detention—
"Faced with a movement for divestment they couldn't crush, your trustees opted to set fire to the institution they're entrusted with…History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence."
The precedent set here is the end of Congress, which I don't think Congress will even notice
We woulda killed that thing with hammers, I know that much
Lakers-Warriors last night was very good. Basketball is a copycat sport. You think JJ Reddick was staying up late watching the WCC Title game last month?
Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein was just bustin’ with pride over his March 28 story: “New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants [on] social media,” he posted on Bluesky and X. He got the buzz that he wanted with thousands of reposts, and presumably a traffic boost to his $100-a-year site. If you had a sense of déjà lu, it’s probably because you’d already read this piece, titled “State Dept. demands ‘enhanced’ social media vetting of student visa applicants,” by Marisa Kabas, another independent journalist. Her story ran a full two days before Klippenstein’s. (And Kabas’s version was more authoritative and better-written.) I reached out to Klippenstein via email, Signal, and social media, but he didn’t respond. Maybe at some point he will (leak his response to me).

I love that the Spanish MLB IG page has a video taking two migrant workers to the Padres game. It feels like a big middle finger to everything going on in this country
I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever
Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.
Kurt Vonnegut man
Big day for the Britta meme
"I can excuse [MASS DEPORTATION / GENOCIDE / TRANS ELIMINATION / RE-SEGREGATION], but I draw the line at tariffs!!!!"
hell yeah I support Smoot-Hawley*
*Republican Senator Josh Hawley getting laid out by former Minnesota Vikings cornerback Fred Smoot
Throwing federal workers out of work; busting their unions; disabling the NLRB & the MSPB; cratering consumer confidence -- these are the actions of an administration that wants workers to have to beg for scraps
Financial Times: "I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' without fear of getting cancelled...it's a new dawn." Some Wall Streeters also feel able to embrace making money openly, without nodding to any broader social goals. "Most of us don't have to kiss ass because like Trump we love America and capitalism"
Thinking about these guys
normal day to have to buy groceries
Every crisis is an opportunity.
During the gold rush, the smartest people sold shovels
During the upcoming depression, I'm going to make billions selling barrels with suspenders that say "bankrupt" on the front of them

Eric Adams got his corruption charges dropped. All it took was selling out New Yorkers to Donald Trump.
We’re all tired of this spineless, failed mayor, but remember: Andrew Cuomo is running for Adams' 2nd term.
Same donors. Same chaos. Just a new Trump ally in Gracie Mansion.
ALSO very true!!!
Incredible stuff as always from Steven and just highlights how insanely well a team needs to play to beat the Houston Cougars.
Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇
I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.
Bunch shows how it is done.
The way he points out what the EO *legally* does (directs the VP, acting as just one of many regents) vs what it claims to do (“change the Smithsonian!”—something POTUS can’t do) is fantastic.
We need more of this, less ppl taking EOs as law.
Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.
If you need a beacon of hope, meet DAYLO.

Same goes for edicts issued by tweet or whatever they're called over on the site he's on
