It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 88 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social : “Trump is not telling the truth. Local officials can handle this… we have to point out the danger of what he’s doing in LA while also keeping our eye on the ball as he pushes an unpopular bill that will transform our economy and ruin a lot of lives.”

On brand. Disaster relief will now be a personal favor from the President to communities that pledge loyalty. Be grateful if you're from a (relatively) non-disaster prone part of the country.

A key part of every conversation I’m having with Trump voters these days:👇 1. Los Angeles is NOT burning to the ground. 2. Haitian migrants were NOT eating cats & dogs. 3. Donald Trump did NOT win the 2020 election. And there’s more where that came from. Lots more.

📌We are in the most precarious moment in our nation’s history since the beginning of the Civil War. Anybody who is not reporting it this way is dangerous, completely out of their depth, and should not be taken seriously. 📌As the retired managing editor of Stars & Stripes I urge you to share this.

Trump is now at 38% approval and going down in new Quinipianc poll. He's underwater even on immigration. Unlike other authoritarians--Putin, Orban, Hitler--he has minority support as he's trying to consolidate power, and mass opposition. Keep hitting him hard.

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?
