Absolutely terrifying. The scariest step yet.

It’s incredible that now the *best case* scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

We called the Right “sick” because they celebrate cruelty and don’t care if our kids die from curable diseases, whereas they call us “sick“ because we want due process and equal rights.

Purported ICE agents raid a courthouse in Charlottesville in plain clothes without badges, ID or warrants, cart off two men without explanation. One of the three men was masked and the detainees were ushered into unmarked van. Video in the article. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

Japan has decided to start sharing satellite intelligence with the Ukrainian military. It’s the first time Japan will provide direct intelligence-sharing to a country at war. Ukraine will receive SAR imagery from 5 satellites operated by iQPS.

love this for us

This headline construction could apply to nearly anyone in the Trump 2.0 administration. "The EPA Head Who Hates the Environment." "The HHS Secretary Who Hates Science-Based Medicine." "The Education Sec. Who Hates Education." "The President Who Hates Democracy." The nihilism is a throughline.

Yes, that very awkward wording suggests that Alito failed to refer the application to the full Court and the Chief stepped in and brought it "before the Court" before the planes could depart.

can we please focus on the murder of Yemeni civilians as well as the "security breach"

His whole presidency (both the past and present) has been about ripping off the American people for as much as he possibly could get away with…👇 And now, there’s this BULLSHIT!

Just a fucking kid. Just another day. Life goes on and there are so many that still don’t care. #ISeeYou substack.com/home/post/p-...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

I am so very worried for this man. I am so very, very worried that his whiteness and position will not protect him from two different nation state heads not caring if he comes back.

Hope he brought protection. We don’t need another Jonestown.

#Grassley is in his find out era. Chuck, this is on you. This is what happens when you vote to support every policy that degraded our constitution, and every unqualified cabinet nominee of reality stars and neo-Nazis from a man who fomented a violent insurrection. Now do your job and remove him.

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

On Day 1 of the Meta antitrust trial, the government was stuck arguing about a world — and a market — that no longer really exists www.platformer.news/meta-antitru...

Nearly half of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our life, and 17M in the US currently live with cancer. Here's some of the cancer research at Harvard that is being threatened. This is a dangerous game being played with your health, my health, and the health of everyone in our lives.

These people don’t deserve to be parents and should be charged for negligent homicide.

one of the more blatant, in your face fascistic moments trumps 2nd term has had yet, and that’s saying something. they are telling us they love that they are openly doing crimes against humanity. if the world doesn’t prosecute every single person involved in this, it will be a failure of humanity

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.

I hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

Bernie should’ve never tried to be someone he wasn’t. It’s good to have him back. I’m sorry he can’t retire.

Insider trading? MTG bought thousands of dollars in stock just before Trump’s tariff pause sent markets soaring. According to a disclosure released Monday, Marjorie Taylor Greene invested between $21,000 and $315,000 on April 8 and 9, buying stock in 17 companies, including Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA
