Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

Ooops! Ooopsie! Did we do that? We didn't mean to do that. Definitely don't blame us for doing that.

Oops! Day one funding freeze
Oops! Ebola
Oops! Nuclear security workers
Oops! Bird flu
Oops! PEPFAR
Oops! HHS firings

And on and on and on...

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Yowza. @djrothkopf.bsky.social has two questions for the ages. One starts the piece, the other ends it.

"What should we do with the Supreme Court now that we no longer need it?

What shall we call this country when the United States of America as we once knew and loved it no longer exists?"

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

To sum up: An estimated 5 million people protested in 50 states but the stories were deliberately relegated to the back of most major newspapers.

Screenshot:

And Rupert Murdoch’s media properties? The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal made no mention whatsoever of the protests on either their April 6 or April 7 front pages. Surprise, surprise.

This isn’t just bad journalism. It’s a deliberate editorial choice that speaks volumes about how establishment media downplays collective action challenging power.

When hundreds of thousands of people coordinate across an entire nation to protest governmental policies, that’s not a page 18 story. That’s not a “see more in section B” situation. That’s front-page news. Period.
