Trump’s punishment of the International Criminal Court relies in part of third-parties complying, such as Microsoft (ICC’s chief prosecutor is now using Protonmail), as well as NGOs who help document rights abuses, who believe they could be punished by the US seizing their US bank accounts.

BILL GATES: “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/bdd9...

Deporting migrants to Libya, where torture, slavery, and arbitrary detention prevail, is a flagrant violation of international law. The administration’s plan mirrors a deliberate abandonment of human rights, outsourcing cruelty to a system that dehumanizes with impunity.

Hear directly from some of the reporters and editors of our Pulitzer-winning “Life of the Mother” series — which exposes the fatal consequences of abortion bans — as they reflect on their stories, their process and the lessons they’ve learned. Read more: propub.li/3F1plXT

Honestly, just go a bit further, Bill. Even if there's a need for border security, ICE is irreparably tainted as an organization. Smash it and replace it with an organization that isn't a byword for nativism, xenophobia and harassment.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

1/🧵 It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Feel like the President being obviously bribed in ways that violate the constitution should be a bigger deal.

Incidents like this — law enforcement entering the wrong house — are already far too common. Go read @radleybalko.bsky.social "Rise of the Warrior Cop." It details how military-style policing has been normalized over decades and how common adverse outcomes come from mistakes on addresses.

🚨Breaking News: The Trump administration dismissed all the scientists working on the government’s premiere report on the effects of climate change in the U.S.

Not even 100 days in—and a nonstop comedy of errors—except none of it’s funny. Some of this you probably didn’t know. And once you do, you’ll wish you didn’t. Part I

ICYMI: 5 key climate & space projects on Trump’s chopping block. “We’re talking about a wholesale dismantling of NASA’s scientific fleet & the pipeline of future missions." "Trump’s budget plan for NOAA is both outrageous & dangerous." Is this "America First"? 1/3 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Robert F Kennedy Jr is a fucking monster

Umm. 👇🏽 among the other things that aren't good, this is especially not good.

this is going to kill people.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

The Trump regime is claiming tyrannical powers. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole, not a partisan statement. The reality we now face.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Sure. Tell Grandma to just head on over to X to sign up for her benefits.

Shockingly, Congress is currently considering letting the nation's most toxic polluters permanently turn off their pollution controls. Join @cleanairmoms.bsky.social in telling our lawmakers this is an outrage. actnow.momscleanairforce.org/a/reclassifi...

The treatment that civil servants are being subjected to is criminal.

We are not invisible. This kind person from the UK sees us and is proud of us. You might need a tissue when you watch this 👇👇👇👇👇

The CDC's cruise ship inspectors have been laid off, as well as agency's head epidemiologist for investigating cruise ship outbreaks That baffled health officials since this program is paid for by cruise ship fees, not taxpayer dollars www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

Even for MAGA, this is fucking NUTS.

And no one in America doubts why he's doing this.

Wha happened today would be treated as crime if they didn’t now also control all the law enforcement agencies

What's the sense in this? How does this make America healthier? RFK Jr. is running a scam.

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

This is a heart-breaking but necessary to read to understand just how much is at stake and how much we stand to lose with Trump & Musk's de-funding of American scientific research.

60 MINUTES: “75% of the men sent to the El Salvador mega-prison had no criminal records… the only evidence Trump’s government presented against Andrys (a gay makeup artist) were pictures of his mom & dad tattoos…” Horrific. In all of our names. 🇺🇸 www.facebook.com/share/15wy7b...

The economy is in free fall. The markets are collapsing. Our soldiers are dying. Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail. Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons. And Trump is fucking golfing.

MAGA will cheer this and tell everyone else the shit sandwich tastes great.

Again, worth at the last considering the possibility that he’s a malevolent idiot who has no idea what he’s doing.
