Bezos bent the knee again, & will hide the cost of tariffs from consumers (unlike Temu, that added an "import fees" line item to be transparent about the skyrocketing prices at checkout). Amazon's customers will feel the pain — w/o explanation. is.gd/uM2qrB My earlier Temu 💰 hike post: is.gd/DaqW0t

Here’s why I’m participating in a boycott of my 20th college reunion at Swarthmore. “We have watched as students protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the college’s financial complicity in it have been met with repression at every turn.” swarthmorephoenix.com/2025/04/24/l...

📣 🎙️Why can't other Democratic electeds say these words? There is no right time — it's now. Trump is tightening control, trying to instill fear. And it's working w/many, but not @govpritzker.illinois.gov. MAGA expect foot-dragging Dems. That's how our country falls. NO. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

🚨🚨🚨 Trump has declared 170 mi of fed land across 3 states as a military zone/base for immigration enforcement & "crowd control" w/ability to make arrests. What about the Posse Comitatus Act, people? 📺 @maddow.msnbc.com addresses this terrifying development. youtu.be/XjPJ0N1oVnw?...

NOTE: Tiny American biz, like Etsy sellers, will be crushed as their Temu supplies become unaffordable. This usually apolitical Temu shopper Subreddit is so lit up 🔥 that they have another thread on Trump & the impact on MAGA cult shoppers. is.gd/95I5I5 My earlier post: is.gd/DaqW0t MORE ⬇️

It's hard to be a federal employee right now. It's outright terrifying to be trans while working for an administration actively hostile to your very being. I spoke to five people to understand what that's like: newrepublic.com/article/1930...

This is money Congress appropriated and Trump has no legal authority to withhold. But he is.

UPS has been proactive when it comes to laying off people to be sensitive to changes in the supply chain, so this isn't a surprise that it beat its estimates. Not that it helps the people who are laid off. This is the Trump economy and the fallout. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/u...

Soon to be the most heavily bugged space in Washington:

Steve Witkoff is scheming to bring MMA events back to Russia.

The Chicago jumped out because same.

Maybe I need to up my meds or something but I’ve got a real low key dread about Thursday here in Tuscaloosa….

Is Duffy accurately describing the current FOTUS? - Works hard (perpetually on the golf course, sleeps @ funerals); - Has a vision (P2025, tariffs, destroying govt & the economy) - Is fearless (he's afraid of Putin, Xi, anyone else who stands up to his bullying) #MAGA! bsky.app/profile/atru...

I had to rip this screen cap, it's too good, @atrupar.com. Classic — w/Temu Goebbels on screen too! The Copium is STRONG at Fox 🤣! "PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS -- Declassified the JFK files -- Ended federal support for paper straws -- Ended production of the penny" bsky.app/profile/atru...

🤣 Who knew Speaker Mike Johnson (🤡) has a future in stand-up comedy? Asked about Trump's historic polling lows he says... "what the real polling is showing is that they understand that we're heading somewhere." Is "somewhere" swirling down the toilet bowl? 🚽🧻 is.gd/oVtE4W

🤯 Whitmer & team are gluttons for punishment. No file folders to hide behind at today's photo op w/Trump. The FELON is toxic & in free fall, responding by ratcheting up his attacks on our institutions & rights. Her team needs to look at @govpritzker.illinois.gov to see how to meet the moment.

Word is spreading...retailers will let customers see who is responsible for the clusterf*ck economy. And it's too late... Soon Amazon, Walmart, & Temu, etc will show "Out of Stock" listings. - Cargo shipments stopped; last ones arriving - Ports are dead - Shelves empty in weeks #MAGA! is.gd/X52pud

Attorney @elizaorlins.bsky.social breaks down Felon47's outrageous EO setting the stage for martial law, militarizing local LEO, defends police brutality through representation (here's future work, Paul Weiss!) & more. youtu.be/D6uHyBgTK6g?... Eliza's Substack: is.gd/ToMvL9 The EO: is.gd/nb2Te6

They are anti-information. They are scared of people simply knowing things. They thrive on ignorance supplemented with mis- and disinformation and they know it.

A definite rag against the "Great Orange Businessman Who Runs the World 🤡," displaying truth in pricing. 💰 Clearly Amazon, like Temu, is breaking out the Trump tariff so it's plain for consumers to see at checkout who is to blame for price hikes. da.gd/TPBk9 bsky.app/profile/cweb...

Not only has Eric Adams cut funding for open streets, he's not even giving them enough traffic cones

The Fake Money for Criminals industry is closing in.

just in case anyone who follows me on this thing is in Barcelona I am doing a talk tonight on Work Won't Love You Back (probably I am going to cry in public and talk about Joshua Clover) abacus.cat/es/actividad...

I had to write something about Joshua Clover in longer form because i could not possibly squeeze it into a whatever the hell we call messages on this app sarahljaffe.substack.com/p/heaven-kno...

Cornell stays embarrassing

People are truly wild out here.

Just remember that one of the first things Mark Carney did upon taking office was cut the Ministry of Women & Gender Equality and the Ministry of Diversity & Inclusion & Disabilities. Over 400 groups signed a letter in opposition. He's better than the alternative but far from cause for celebration.

😄 📺 @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com describes Trump’s “unconstitutional delusional rants” saying he runs “the country & the world”...as he fails to negotiate a single trade deal, making him “the biggest loser in international trade in the history of the American presidency.” youtu.be/CpCtY0JQvjs?...

May the butter tarts and Nanaimo bars flow like the mighty rivers of the North on this evening and always

So I hopped over to the r/TemuThings subreddit, and bargain shoppers not politically plugged in about the trade war are distressed at a big change at check out. A new "Import charge" has appeared, thanks to the FELON. 🤡 $41.24 charge added to $27.97. #MAGA! www.reddit.com/r/TemuThings...

🚨 A malevolent, illegal EO dropped, indicating Felon47 wants military on the streets. Note Sec 4 (b) — Hegseth & Bondi in 90 days will determine how "military & natl security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, & PERSONNEL can most effectively be used "to prevent crime." is.gd/nb2Te6 MORE ⬇️

Dame Judi Dench is always up to something

Stephen Miller makes Skeletor look sexy and well fed. I need someone to stuff him in a locker so we can stop pretending he's supposed to be near power.

#gardensky could use some help. I got a chickenwire cage to protect my potatoes from very aggressive squirrels. I thought I was going to attach the cage to the ground with stakes, but it turns out what I thought was gravel on soil is actual gravel IN soil quite ways down. 1/2

I don’t know how else to say it but allowing a woman to compete on the women’s team is not denying women sporting opportunities. There are SO MANY things school do that put them out of compliance with T9 for which enforcement would make an actual difference. www.espn.com/college-spor...

He wants to use the military, but he has already removed too many commanders that earned respect and loyalty to replace them with "loyalists" and I strongly suspect that and the right to refuse unlawful orders will be important very soon. These people do not grasp why the term fragging was invented

@ghostwarrior.bsky.social, how are you feeling about the election?

Chad the Bird & I had a wonderful time @wgntv.com with Ji & Sarah! I’ll be ranting about Abraham Lincoln at our OBSESSION-themed show at Lincoln Lodge on Weds. 4/30 at 8 PM. Get ur tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/class-with...

It's so humid I can taste the tornado risk. WTAF is this?

CHICAGO! Come to our show Weds at Lincoln Lodge at 8! It’s only $10. Get tix via the link in my bio!

Please do keep this in mind when Republicans say they have no choice but to cut Medicaid

There's always enough money for fighter jets.

The way that this is a setup for a much less human world...ugh

What happened with Trump’s lawsuit against that Iowa pollster who projected a Harris win?

How does the experience of caregiving shift what we mean by abolition? How do our understandings of freedom & liberation inform how we caregive? Belatedly-- Kim & I were so grateful to talk with AirGo / @respairmedia.bsky.social about "We Grow the World Together." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

I’m so glad these officers got their chance to speak. That was a straight up red scare with the leaker raving about how their LGBTQ colleagues are a bunch of communists.

Attention haters, Andreessen tea below.

Trump is always bragging that he’s a rhetorical genius for inventing the category of Migrant Crime, but the Nazis beat him to it with Judenhass.

Dispatch from Pete Hegseth’s stupid war: The Navy drops a $70 million F-18 overboard.

There's always enough money for football.
