Upcoming Army policy change will allow them to discharge soldiers that require shaving profiles. Know who most often suffer from face bumps? Black men. Shit, unnecessary policy change clearly intended to target minorities. Fuck this administration.

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole.

Why?

Because an algorithm said so. 1/

My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

It’s been over a week. HOW are Hegseth and Waltz still serving?

It’s long past time for them to be fired or resign.

Trump fired at least three senior National Security Council officials at the urging of far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. The firings came a day after she provided a list of administration personnel she considered disloyal to him.

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations.

That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group.

This is corruption of the highest degree.

A federal judge barred the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence from firing intelligence officers who had been assigned to D.E.I. roles eliminated by the Trump administration, ruling that they should be given the opportunity to seek reassignment to other open positions.

Pushback works, part gazillion:

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago.

Where have most of the gains gone? To the top.

Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity.

This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.

Republicans want to fully repeal the estate tax.

This would result in a massive tax cut for the wealthiest families and further entrench an American aristocracy.

How will Republicans pay for it?

With major cuts to social programs like Medicaid and SNAP.

Trickle up economics.

A troubling pattern is emerging. As if Elon Musk didn’t already have enough power, he pressured Reddit’s CEO to censor content he didn’t like—pressure we hope Reddit will resist in the future.

Musk is rapidly pushing forward the privatization of space and satellite operations that have long been managed by the NOAA. DOGE has acquired confidential data from NOAA’s competitors—an alarming development that has further cemented SpaceX’s dominance in the space and satellite industry.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?

The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

The Trump administration is now ordering massive cuts to the Social Security Administration.

This could effectively block millions of Americans from getting the benefits they have earned.

Current and former employees, and advocates for retirees, have said the changes being made would strain an already struggling system.

Death threats against judges are rising — and instead of dialing it back, the GOP is doubling down.

Even after Chief Justice John Roberts called the push for impeachment “not appropriate,” Republicans are pressing ahead. Just this week, House Republicans moved to impeach six federal judges.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social
