Hmmnn, very interesting comparison, the jumbo jet we know about, and many other things, what else is out there when you start peeling the layers back?

Americans, Stop Waiting for America to Look Like What You Think Fascism Will Look Like substack.com/@johnpavlovi...

Plot line: Dehumanize migrants, making it acceptable to terrorize them. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Working past my instinctive outrage to the point where you she that’s the reaction this is designed to provoke. They’re trying to normalize depraved, undemocratic conduct by the executive branch so people will stop noticing. Once you see that, you realize how important our outrage is. Keep it up.

One of the big challenges of the present moment is an epistemological one: how can we know the state of the crisis or collapse of the constitutional order? How would we know if democracy was suspended in the US absent an obviously stolen election? Levitsky suggests: fear of retribution like this.

Some expected. Some surprises. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

A reminder: Auschwitz was in Poland, not Germany. Important to remember right now.

"Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen, was being held in the Leon County Jail Thursday, charged with illegally entering Florida as an 'unauthorized alien' — even as a supporter waved his U.S. birth certificate in court." By @llanosjackie.bsky.social for @floridaphoenix.com

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

I call upon the administration and the government of El Salvador to prove that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and unharmed.

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

What an ass!

If you are a law student or associate who joined one of the Big Law firms that is now collaborating with Trump to do pro bono, ignore the bullshit management is telling you. Here is what Trump has in mind for you. Your spineless leaders will never say no to him.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

I love that Governor Janet Mills is standing up to Trump!!! Weak men don’t scare strong women… Observers of her political rise — and some who have sparred with her — say Gov. Janet Mills’s refusal to bow to President Trump is right in character.

NEW VIDEO: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a major voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine democracy. Paige and I break it down. youtu.be/XS8aePRgFU4?...

Hmmm…time to flood the system with reports about Elon’s Visa violation in 1995 when he failed to enroll as an international student at Stanford while on a student Visa.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cutting Social Security staff, closing offices, and shutting off vital phone services. One field office worker called it a "house of cards that's about to collapse." This attack is hurting Americans everywhere. We will keep fighting back.

"His office leadership instructed appointees to act as servers for a multicourse meal. They dispatched a US Park Police helicopter for his personal transportation. On at least one occasion, a staffer was told to remake the cookies because the batch was subpar..." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Let’s nutshell it!

Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.

This is the first time one man has crashed the economy. As Americans see their savings evaporate, what are Republicans in Congress doing? Nothing. Republicans need to grow a spine and join Democrats right now to stop this man-made disaster.

If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back. How can anyone defend this?

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

SAVE act: Republicans are trying to push this through congress possibly this weak. Terrible voter suppression, especially for women and military. League of Women Voters is calling it a “trick”. Call your congresspeople! www.lwv.org/blog/safegua...

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

President Trump has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't care about the farmers who feed, fuel, and grow our country. www.startribune.com/trump-new-ta...

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."
