This headline is stunning, and it doesn't include the extra Covid deaths attributed to Trump's policies where estimates go as high as 200,000 preventable deaths in the US.

In 1980, Trump destroyed Art Deco sculptures he'd promised to the Met to speed up Trump Tower's construction—now he's demolishing the White House's East Wing for a massive ballroom despite preservationists' objections.

I'm reallllly enjoying the new abstract game called Azure by @bitewinggames.bsky.social. The rules are not complicated but it has a lot of fun strategy. You can play it now before it releases on BGA: boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga... #boardgames

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

We don't know what Elon Musk meant with that hand gesture but we do know he's reinstated Hitler apologists on X, praised an extreme far-right German political party and endorsed the claim that Jews push "hatred against whites" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it.
Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.
