If something can be destroyed by the truth, then it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.

I realize I’m just shouting into the wind here, but: please, please, please stop posting screenshots without links, or summarizing breaking news events without links. There’s a serious problem with unsourced assertions all over the world right now, don’t be part of the problem.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

Could we pass some local regs requiring all law enforcement agents to keep their face fully visible while on duty? This masked ICE agent sh*t is creeping me out.

Amazing that the center-right position of a weapons embargo against Israel, who is committing genocide against a neighbor that the world community refuses to recognize, is considered a radical position in this country. We truly are on the darkest timeline.

Trump's budget torches science, housing, health, food safety, and public broadcasting. But Dems are upset about defunding the police.

There is a Gulf of America. It's the gulf between the reality of MAGA and the reality of rational Americans.

If you're a Democratic elected and don't have Stephen Miller or Pam Bondi or Ed Martin talking about throwing you in prison for your seditious libels of Dear Leader, you aren't going hard enough.

Why is it that Trump invites Canadians to join the US while Mexico gets a wall? Unify North America!

Of course the lesson Democrats are going to take from this mess is, "what we need to do is court the fascist vote."

Running a business is VERY different from running a country. Trade balance ≠ a balance sheet. Who knew?

once again reminding folks that putting top secret information onto your phone is illegal and unsafe regardless of who you add to the chat or what app you choose to send it with. Even if you only add the one person who should get it, and you only use signal, it is still illegal and unsafe.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

Dems in Congress need to make it VERY clear which members are unwilling to call out Trump and his cronies for their unconstitutional behavior. I PROMISE the American people are behind you. Please, MAKE NO ASSUMPTIONS!

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I really wish more people understood that undocumented immigrants aren't criminals. It's politicians that have failed to provide legal avenues for the immigration of workers this country needs (and uses)... for decades!

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

What if, purely hypothetically, Stephen Miller was the guy who ordered flights to go even in spite of Boasberg's order on March 15. What if, also hypothetically, not all the people on the third plane had deportation orders? Does Abrego Garcia even? What if there are 50 more like him?

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The Trump admin is practicing extra-judicial incarceration. First they came for the criminals. Then they came for the undocumented immigrants. Then they came for the students. Who's next? We've heard this story before, folks! It doesn't end well.

If declaring Tren de Aragua and MS-13 to be terrorist organizations has allowed Trump to deport and incarcerate without due process, what is to keep him from declaring the same of Antifa or Black Lives Matter? One black bloc action? One vigilante bomb?

Deporting people to a foreign gulag for life based on alleged affiliations is unconstitutional, un-American, and abhorrent! There is no justice until Trump is removed from office and Rubio, Noem, Homan, Miller, and Trump are tried before the ICC.

Don't dismiss Trump's "southern invasion" blather as rhetoric. His use of the Alien Enemies Act shows that this language is policy. With transfer of border lands to the DoD, he intends to treat all migrants as invaders.

The largest tax increase of the 21st century was implemented by a Republican President. Never let them forget it.
