Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in U.S. custody after being illegally deported and will now face federal human trafficking charges in Tennessee.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

Going to up the anty here. At DFW airport. Landed mid A. Had to skylink to B. Walked to terminal. Gate change. Skylink to D. Walk to gate. Still no other humans with masks on. None. Zero. Zilch. Good lord humans.

"No one voted to deport moms" — yes they did. This is why Critical Race Theory needs to be taught to everyone. It was common for white people to have their "favorite" Black individuals they worked with or employed, while still supporting the Jim Crow system that oppressed Black people as a whole.

Lagia sent this vid from Santa Maria CAs strawberry fields: Workers are running back and forth to the truck. We are working piece rate & earn $2.25 per flat. The constant running puts us at risk of injury, but slowing down means not making enough to pay our bills. #WeFeedYou

At IND for a work trip to San Diego and I am literally the ONLY person with a mask on. NB181 may not take people down hard thia summer, but the disability ratea in 2026 are going to suck.

If you value your health, wear a mask. If you want to practice community care, wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people, wear a mask. If you want to fight fascism, wear a mask. We need people as healthy as possible so they can resist. Mask up.

PSA: One of those anecdotal data points that might be useful to know—more than a quarter of my mom's ward at her nursing home has contracted Covid in the last 10 days or so.

this is the most sociopathic thing ive ever seen and i wrote a whole book about neonazis

For anyone who wishes others masked to avoid getting & spreading covid I've gathered hundreds of graphics to spread the word far & wide since CDC did not. Different topics & tones to choose from. Please help nudge people to do the right thing. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

RFK JR IS DANGEROUS AND A THREAT TO YOUR KIDS THE TRUTH: "It is a fantasy to think we can lower vaccination rates and herd immunity in the U.S. and not suffer recurrence of these diseases. One in 3,000 kids who gets measles is going to die. There's no treatment for it. They are going to die."

As if the money the army would use to pay for this is not taxpayer money......

Unfairly shamed into doing the job he is laid to do.... how sad.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

We need more people on here reporting on the horrible weather happening in their area. I didn't hear about the Maryland floods until tonight and they happened days ago. This is not okay.

The pivot to blaming companies for the obvious consequence of your tariffs has begun

You can’t fight fascism without disability justice. Fascism creates more disability, which then sees us as replaceable and our deaths as excusable. You can’t fight for humanity without fighting for disabled people.

🚨⬇️ Please do this today or early tomorrow to help ensure we have updated COVID vaccines by the Fall of 2025. Couldn’t be easier with step-by-step instructions & sample text. Thanks, @peoplescdc.org! open.substack.com/pub/peoplesc...

40 years ago on this date, police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighborhood

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

“On May 4-10, Taiwan saw 9,978 outpatient and emergency visits related to COVID-19, a 66% increase from the previous week. According to the CDC, this marks the fifth consecutive week of rising cases.” www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-paci...

The fancy ranunculus are the first to bloom this year. This is a ranunculus reinette orange.

There is no due process that can result in the deportation of an American citizen. First, you can’t “deport” a citizen. It makes no sense legally or logically. What you’re talking about is exile. Second, there is no statute by which a citizen can be exiled for any cause. It’s just kidnapping.

But they will let Republicans in for propaganda photo ops

The IRS is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, CNN reports

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

Thanks for the laugh 🌞

A solution in search of a problem. More voter suppression from the “freedom” party.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a father, a husband, a SMART Union apprentice — and it’s long past time for him to be reunited with his family in Maryland. He was wrongly deported by Donald Trump and left to rot in an El Salvador prison. Bring him home.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.
