If only we had experience from the past century to tell us what it means when a government goes out of its way to revive out-of-date or obscure statutes as part of a political program persecuting a vulnerable group previously targeted by its propaganda. wapo.st/3Z8Rovq

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Mission Accomplished!

Same. I'm basically into a "don't dominate" agenda. Totally radical, apparently.

“I feel sorry for myself because I’m educated and despite that I’m eating from the trash,” said Islam Abu Taeima, who has a bachelor’s degree in English from Al-Quds Open University in Gaza.

Young people say the Trump executive orders aimed at expanding fossil fuels violate their rights to a stable climate. They are suing in federal court.

Another naive dumbass. Directly responsible for the destruction of America. And not doing a GD thing to help save democracy.

This is why the tech bros have been all-in with 47. Data mining and surveillance on a massive level.

Dorothy Parker's cruel but famed line on hearing that Calvin Coolidge had died: "How can they tell?" If she were around to see this headline on a WSJ editorial ...

If you think you are immune to what is happening, think again! What happened in San Diego last night is just a small part of the inhumanity. YOU are next. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/05...

The entire MAGA movement is rooted in the most toxic of masculinities; perpetuating knuckle-dragging, emotionally-fetal, alpha male posturing; a culture of relentless aggression that rewards the crass, coronates cruelty, and celebrates sexism. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-there-i...

🚨 While working families are told there’s no $$$ for Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, or schools, Trump is spending nearly $100 million in taxpayer funds on a military parade to celebrate himself on June 14. That’s why on June 14, we’re rising up to say NO KINGS. Find or join a protest: NoKings.org

While at the Eloy Detention Center, women shared a story with me of a guard forcing them to walk in the Arizona heat w/out water, yelling at them that “that’s the price of the American dream.” We can and MUST advocate for the dignity and humanity of all people in facilities across the country.

What a great tribute to Loretta Swit from Alan Alda

“WE THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE” Pay taxes to the federal government …WE decide what’s wasteful spending, not an unelected, foreign billionaire higher than a kite on ketamine!

It appears DOGE is passing to billionaire Peter Thiel Palantir has received $113M+ in gov funds & a new $795M DoD contract. Their surveillance software is being used & could compile all our personal data into 1 place with little oversight The threat is NOT gone It is growing. @altnps.bsky.social
