Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

You know who should lose their tax exempt status and be taxed as political entities for pushing politics loooooooooong before Harvard? Christian Nationalist megachurches that supported Trump and his current brand of fascism.

Stanford and Yale back Harvard in opposition to the Trump administration thehill.com/homenews/edu...

Replace ‘Harvard’ with ‘churches’ and he’s onto something…

The "Jackie Robinson Day background" section of MLB's official press release about Jackie Robinson just notes that he was a first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers who debuted in 1947. Nothing about the how, the why.

Today we remember the man who STILL is Jackie Robinson. He may have passed away a mere 42 years ago but 04/15 will always be synonymous with him breaking down color barriers & giving birth to unmistakable growth in the MLB. In closing, Jackie Robinson was more than a baseball player. PERIOD!

The largest paying crowd in the history of Wrigley Field was the day Jackie Robinson made his debut. Wrigley is the only park left Jackie played a game in. Mike Ryoko was a kid at that ballpark that day and he wrote about it. Take a minute and read this today. press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago...

This official MLB info on Jackie Robinson (!) strips all references to race, racism or the basic fact of the MLB once being segregated. They want to do this with all history because you can’t have a worldview based on bullshit lies about the present unless you have bullshit history that supports it.

so many baseball losers who voted for Trump wearing #42 today for Jackie Robinson and talking about how great he was is absolutely nauseating tbh

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen is going to El Salvador to check on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen!

Chris Van Hollen isn’t playing games. If Kilmar Garcia isn’t released by midweek, he’s flying to El Salvador himself to demand answers. This is the kind of bold, no-BS leadership we need right now. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

They taped a threat letter to the door of his home that included pictures of him walking his dog from the vantage point of a drone! Holy shit. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Whistleblower www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n... youtu.be/TsqgXfrSksI?...

DOGE surveilling (with a drone?!) and threatening a whistleblower. These people are straight up gangsters.

🚨 BREAKING: Whistleblower says Musk’s DOGE stole 10GB of union data, legal files, and corporate secrets—then tried to cover it up. That’s not “efficiency.” That’s espionage. Lock him up. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

Iowa voters confronted Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley over Trump’s blatant defiance of the Supreme Court and disregard for the Constitution. The American people are rising up against the corrupt Trump regime.

Voters in red states are finally done 👏🏻 Watch constituents confront Sen. Chuck Grassley with righteous fury over Trump’s illegal deportations—especially Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As Nicolle Wallace said: Americans are waking up to a lived reality. And no, Republicans—no one’s eating sand anymore.

Watch Chuck Grassley, being his usual pathetic self, try to avoid answering simple questions about the deportation of Abrego Garcia. People are sick of Trump and his blatant disregard for the law. It’s time these feckless Republicans honor their oath and stand up to DJT. youtu.be/gbfPt8o8h5A?...

The Palestinian-led BDS campaign has called for a boycott of Xbox and Microsoft Games, and Bethesda is explicitly named as a target. If there is an Oblivion Remastered on its way, don't give them your money! For more on the boycott: www.bdsmovement.net/news/boycott...

"Instead of making Elder Scrolls VI we've made Oblivion brown"

the oblivion remaster is one of the microsoft products covered by BDS's priority target boycott

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers. Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla. The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Someone with a Russian IP address used a DOGE account to attempt to login to the NLRB computer system.

China halted all Boeing deliveries due to Trump tariffs. Twenty-eight 737 Max jets and one 787 have been canceled. Trump stated, “Beijing has reneged on the deal."

China just halted orders of all Boeing planes. This is a major strategic failure for Trump.

Boeing is our largest exporter, for reference. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

So much winning! China has told its airlines to stop taking deliveries of jets from American aviation giant Boeing, a report said Tuesday, as a trade war between Beijing and the United States deepens. www.yahoo.com/news/china-t...

Pioneer hololive English star Gawr Gura will graduate on May 1, 2025 JST. Official Statement: cover-corp.com/en/ne... Stream: www.youtube.com/live...

Gawr Gura, a VTuber from hololive English, has announced her graduation on May 1 during her latest YouTube stream.

Did you know some sharks eat garbage? Gawr Gura - Hololive EN

yeup... There it is. Gawr Gura, the literal biggest Vtuber on the face of the planet, is graduating from Hololive. Her reasoning is pretty straightforward and to the point: "disagreements with management and company direction." Godspeed Gura.

Welp, there goes another Hololive EN talent. And arguably their biggest one to boot. Honestly, I'm at the point now with corporate VTubing that I'd rather their talents leave and thrive independently without the intensity and grind of trying to be an idol. Wish her nothing but the best.

How Durbin plans to decide on another term: "Whether I'm still physically able, mentally able to deal with the issues. This press conference is an indication that I still have my wits about me. And when it comes to the physical side of it, up and moving around, taking nourishment."

Personally I think the bar for the US Senate should be higher than “able to move around and take nourishment”

"taking nourishment" and "this press conference is an indication that I still have my wits about me" are pretty insane metrics for how a public official should decide whether to run, & yet it's this ubiquitous metric that explains a lot of Congress right now.

brb taking some nourishment

I can't get over "taking nourishment" as the bar he's holding himself to bsky.app/profile/the-...

30,000 estimated crowd for Bernie/AOC rally in Folsom, CA. Way to go Folsom!

This was at Folsom ,Ca. Estimated crowd 25-30 K. 3 mile long lines Red area, city population 85000. Quite a turnout. I gave up on attending & watched live stream. Too tough on the old bones. Thrilled at turnout.

Huge crowd in Folsom with an overflow parking lot. Waiting for Bernie🧡

Bernie Sanders at the Fight Oligarchy Tour in Folsom, CA: “Folsom is a city of 85,000 and we have almost as many people here as we had in L.A. I’m told we have close to 30,000 people here.”

Hearing the same from a direct source. People in Americorps being told they're done. It's over. No notice.

The fact that they’re going after tiny Americorps programs with 7 figure budgets is piece of evidence 76396 that this was never about budget deficits but just about doing whatever owns the libs, and I guess 18 year olds doing volunteer river conservation work is Woke or something

My bff’s son works for Americorps and received a decommissioning letter today. DOGE is gutting the program. I’m so angry and disappointed DOGE would go after a program that does such good work. @marisakabas.bsky.social @kairyssdal.bsky.social @katiephang.bsky.social

Seeing the writing on the wall, I wrote about my time in AmeriCorps last month. Spoke with people I served with to discuss how our idealism since that time had changed.

Yes, the Americorps volunteers here at our local wildlife refuge were also let go today--told they had to pack up and leave tonight. They were going to be building a retaining wall. It won't get built now, and they won't get an $8,000 scholarship towards their education. A travesty.

Why does Zach Edey, the largest player, not simply eat the other players?

Zach Edey is 7'4" but he cancels his advantage in the paint frequently. So many turnovers because he insists on dribbling or otherwise bringing the ball down

Zach Edey is simply ginormous

The Zach Edey experience was deeply strange tonight

Stephen Curry as a screener for Jimmy Butler. No show, Jimmy able to turn the corner. Edey helps, kick goes right to Draymond who gets it right to a cutting Curry for a 3.

If they really want to punish Trae Young, they’d make him finish the game

Ref fell for the Trae Young pass fake as Trae's night is done

"That's a bad look. No reason to do that." "He was already ejected and then he decided to give some money to the NBA on the way out the door. I think that's charitable of him." Brian Anderson and Stan Van Gundy react to Trae Young's actions after getting ejected.

Trae Young: OUT for the remainder of the game (full diaper)

It just doesn't feel remotely possible that a Trae Young Hawks team was only two wins away from getting to the NBA Finals not that long ago but it's true.

#DaredevilBornAgain The Moment. Me:

Ah yes, Jon Bernthal back to roaring during a fight scene just as God intended #DaredevilBornAgain

Clearly, the story is FAR from over in #DaredevilBornAgain. There are a ton of loose threads that haven't been tied up. Normally, I'd be annoyed, but, in this case, I'm excited.

I could really do without the lame morality lessons from Karen Page and Foggy Nelson. #DaredevilBornAgain

Need #DareDevilBornAgain Season 2 IMMEDIATELY.

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

AOC in Bakersfield, California: "By first going after activists such as these so that they can jail them for their speech, and then they will jail the rest of us for speaking up for immigrants, for speaking up for women's rights, for speaking up against this administration in any way shape or form"

Another packed auditorium for Bernie Sanders and AOC at the Fight Oligarchy event in Bakersfield, California. Love to see it!

BREAKING: Here’s the crowd in Bakersfield to see Bernie Sanders on a Tuesday afternoon. - 4,000 people - More than 500 were in the overflow. Trump won this county by 20 points!
