This is what the far right does. They send bomb threats against their political enemies. They did it to children's hospitals and now state legislators.

The worst part is those legislators cannot trust the FBI won't detain them if they speak with them.

The Signal Clone Mike Waltz Was Caught Using Has Direct Access to User Chats
A new analysis of TM Signal's source code appears to show that the app sends users' message logs in plaintext. At least one top Trump administration official used the app.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

Kristi Noem says we’re not deporting U.S. citizens.
Three American kids were just deported to Honduras.
Noem calls it a “parental decision.”
This isn’t miscommunication.
It’s state denial of reality—one deportation at a time.

The Education Department’s civil rights office once helped push a South Dakota school district to treat its Native students equally.

Under Trump, that same office decided that helping Indigenous students would discriminate against white students: propub.li/3GIdTRr
Article excerpt: ...an investigation found that the district’s Native American students were disciplined far more harshly than white ones. They also were kept from enrolling in advanced courses. The OCR said that when speaking with an investigator, the superintendent of schools at the time said that Native American students in her district had higher truancy rates because they operated on what she termed “Indian Time.” She said, too, that they don’t value education, according to the investigation’s findings. The former superintendent, Nicole Swigart, denied saying any of that. “I recognize those comments are horrendous,” Swigart said in an interview with ProPublica. She noted that the OCR investigation was opened in 2010 and that she first spoke to an investigator in 2022. “I’m not lying when I say I didn’t say it. I didn’t say it, and I don’t know where it came from.” Article excerpt: In the agreement with the OCR, the district promised to examine its practices and make things right; the OCR would monitor its progress. The district also brought in a new superintendent. But last month, the OCR abruptly terminated that agreement, based on its differing interpretation of civil rights law. The OCR’s new view is that equity and diversity efforts discriminate against white students. It was, in the view of agency attorneys, the most severe breach of the OCR’s mission and methods to date. There was no public announcement. “Native students in Rapid City just lost a layer of protection,” the Lakota People’s Law Project announced on Facebook. “Native students are still being pushed out of classrooms and denied opportunities.” Darren Thompson, who is Ojibwe, said the OCR’s decision to abandon the agreement was “another cycle of the federal government failing to uphold its promises.”

NEW: GlobalX, the company doing many deportation flights for ICE, has been hacked. Hackers claim to have stolen flight manifest information and flight details, and have also defaced the website

Anonymous Operation DreadNought Anonymous has decided to enforce the Judge's order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans. You lose again Donnie. A federal judge ruled on May 1, 2025, that the Trump administration's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1798 to remove alleged members of a Venezuelan gang from the country is unlawful. "The President cannot summarily declare that a foreign nation or government has threatened or perpetrated an invasion or predatory incursion of the United States, followed by the identification of the alien enemies subject to detention or removal. "The Proclamation makes no reference to and in no manner suggests that a threat exists of an organized, armed group of individuals entering the United States at the direction of Venezuela to conquer the country or assume control over a portion of the nation. Thus, the Proclamation's language cannot be read as describing conduct that falls within the meaning of 'invasion' for purposes of the AEA. "Allowing the President to unilaterally define the conditions when he may invoke the AEA, and then summarily declare that those conditions exist, would remove all limitations to the Executive Branch's authority under the AEA, and would strip the courts of their traditional role of interpreting Congressional statutes to determine whether a government official has exceeded the statute's scope. The law does not support such a position." - Trump-appointed Federal U.S. District Judge Fernandez Rodriguez We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

Today in Make America Sick Again: RFK Jr. is slowing down delivery the COVID booster shot, putting public health at risk.

The stakes are too high to leave this stuff up to RFK - that’s why I’m authoring legislation, SB 829, to authorize California to produce and distribute our own vaccines.

Netanyahu has declared Israel's intent to permanently occupy Gaza and drive its entire population into the south.

This is known as a 'concentration camp'. Gaza's surviving population will be left with a choice: leave, or die.
