It's been 10 years since Cambridge Analytica did their deeds. Now would be a good time for some journalist to go back and revisit the story to see what new info has been learned about what happened, as well as the current state of this data mining and what it looks like.
Hollywood Reporter - Channel 4 is welcoming Donald Trump to the UK with a special program: an unbroken catalogue of what it categorizes as 100+ falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies since taking office in January.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
3 mugs with a trans pride flag glazed on each
Human rights of trans people are under attack by governments and cruel people.
It's a cause too often forgotten, but needs attention
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these mugs ($25 per mug) will go to our local gender affirming closet

According to the Houston Chronicle, public health officials in Texas think that there are likely 200-300 people now infected with measles. If confirmed, this outbreak is already out of control. H/t to @mickiemo.bsky.social for the heads up. www.chron.com/news/houston...
Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.
I've spent the past year talking to James Murdoch about his father's "twisted" behavior, the mind games at the family-counseling retreat, how Fox News really works, and the war over his family's media empire. My cover story for The Atlantic's April edition: theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
So, they are
- illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress
- burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah
- reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system
- putting backdoors into Treasury
This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.
I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
Every member of the House is back on your home turf for congressional recess. We’ve got events scheduled across the nation to get their attention — because fighting back against the Trump-Musk coup is going to take all of us: indivisible.org/muskorus
I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.
Facts over lies. Any time.
This helps you understand why at Bolts we created a resource called "Who Runs Our Elections," which shows you the local & state offices that are responsible for all this in each & every state: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...
It is bafflingly decentralized... but you don't have to be baffled anymore!

If they're accusing, it's projection.
Trump claims other countries are sending us their criminals. Now he wants to do the same.

So many people came out to protest at Tillis' Raleigh office! Amazing signs and chants! Tillis wants to claim we're silent, we've been filling his voicemails and are at his office! Can't hide from your state! #voughtNO #Indivisible @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social @democracyoutloud.bsky.social
The 050501 protest merged with this one, so it’s pretty big. There’s too many people and not enough speaker strength, so I’m just going to leave because I can’t hear anything, but can at least report it’s crowded!
He campaigned on doing this. He's just waiting for an excuse.
Why I Haven’t Been Around Much, basically.
Trump's #Project2025 plan aims to "bring the Administrative State to heel" and dismantle remnants of New Deal and Great Society programs. A historian examines the historical context.
That's all he's waiting for to declare martial law.
BREAKING: President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council.
This move will erode efforts to protect universal human rights and undermine the work of international bodies that hold all governments accountable.
We asked legal experts about the specific laws they think Trump may be breaking when he:
—Tries to dissolve USAID
—Grants Musk access to Treasury's payment system
—Offers millions of federal employees a buyout
Here's what they told us:
