A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

NEW: @repdangoldman.bsky.social and I are referring the ICE officer who assaulted an individual yesterday for felony prosecution.

Shoving a bereft woman to the ground causing injuries is a criminal act and should be investigated as such. We demand accountability and an end to this lawless policy.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

The fact that public figures of various types—from proper villains to the mushy mediocre—often take dissenting positions only after stepping down tells us something very important about the system.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

An actual quote from the Secretary of State for Business and Trade

Too often people go to university to ‘explore research and knowledge’

Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

UnitedHealth allegedly misused AI to deny medical claims.

Delta plans to use AI to set individualized flight ticket prices for passengers.

AI data centers from companies like Meta and X are reportedly harming nearby residents.

The list of harms from AI goes on and yet...

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer.

They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

"The man was taken by ICE agents, and his children were left behind.

“They arrested someone,” Conches said. “They left the children inside the truck.” "

When Trump...

-Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers 
-Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him
-Uses state visits to advance his hotel business

It's corruption, plain and simple.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA):

"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

The world used clean power sources to meet more than 40% of its electricity demand last year for the first time since the 1940s, figures show.

The report found that solar farms had been the world’s fastest-growing source of energy for the last 20 consecutive years.

Just a reminder that these actions by the admin violate the 1A as surely as the exclusion of the AP from the WH press pool does. Is any academic institution going to fight back? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

This is what democracy looks like

While everyone is talking about the Texas midwife arrested on felony abortion charges: I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that Texas AG Ken Paxton announced these arrests at the same time Republicans are advancing Texas’ biggest anti-abortion bill since the end of Roe.
