I know it's kind of a cliché at this point, but stop for a moment and think--really, honestly think--about how Republicans would've reacted if Obama had done this.

This is not about one man. MOST of the people Trump disappeared have NO criminal record. Yet they had no due process, and have no outside contact. Merwil—reportedly grabbed by mistake. Arturo—a musician. Andry—a makeup artist. No record, no explanation.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

How many more? How many more people have to be kidnapped or trafficked before something is done? How many more people until someone with authority intervenes? How many more until it’s someone you know, someone you care about, someone you love? These aren’t nameless numbers, these are people.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Here's an example of a fascist calling for ethnic cleansing of an indigenous population & of corporate media whitewashing & normalizing the fascist idea. Shame on Trump & shame on @apnews.com for refusing to do actual journalism. This is ethnic cleansing. It is a crime. Call it what it is. Period.

Hot take: You cannot be a good parent and be a conservative/Trump supporter. Because turning a blind eye to blatant abuse means you’re complicit to abusers and then predators. Go argue with your no-good mama.
