You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

The replies to this are full of people yelling at Kat, a Palestinian-American politician, for not supporting the shooting of low-level staffers in DC, which has only had the effect of drawing coverage away from the genocide in Gaza & provided a pretext for future suppression of peaceful protests.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

This can't be said enough. The narrative is quickly becoming but universities need fed funds, when it should be that the fed govt needs universities. NCI/NIGMS funding to Harvard/MIT supported research that led to the discovery of Herceptin, a cancer drug that has saved 3 million lives to date! 🧪

"As a [Holocaust] survivor, my antenna quivers when I see books being banned, when I see people being abducted in the streets, when I see gov't trying to dictate what universities should teach and whom they should teach...I'm troubled when I hear immigrants and immigration being demonized."

I don’t want to repost anyone saying this but Trump absolutely did not “repeal” or “change” or anything similar to the civil rights act. EOs are not law. even then, he’s talking about disparate impact, not the whole act. it’s a big deal but it has no more legal effect than a memo.

WOW. Jose Hermosillo says DHS is lying about everything. - Had no ID because of a medical emergency. - Told Border Patrol he was from New Mexico. They accused him of lying. - He's got learning disabilities and can't read, and they made him sign a "sworn statement" without reading it to him.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

NEW — Emails show Mohsen Mahdawi pleading for months to Columbia for help. He asked about an FBI visit to his home & a mysterious break-in. He also asked Columbia to publicly clarify a lie the Trump admin would later cite to justify detaining Mohsen. No response. He was detained a month later.

You know the only reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

One of the most incredible protest signs I've ever seen. A Japanese American woman folded a huge origami crane to honor the children of Japanese American internment camps & protest current ICE camps. 📸 permission at the Vigil to Stop ICE Expansion in Dublin, CA 4/16/25 ✊🏻 NEVER AGAIN IS NOW ❤️

the people who are like "if this happens it's all over" are just showing you it hasn't occurred to them to do the simple numbers math of "and what army"; they wouldn't need to use fear as a tool of control if they could already use it against you, you would simply be controlled

I am autistic. I pay taxes, I have a job. I dated. I get the desire to push this narrative autistic people DO accomplish these to rebut Kennedy. But there was a time when I DID NOT have a job. And non-speaking autistic people or thise with intellectual disabilities don't. They have worth as well.

On reddit, a user on the r/USCIS subreddit says a friend of theirs is detained at Eloy (an ICE detention center in Arizona) and is looking for help. Buried in the post is a claim that there's been a recent death there that ICE is covering up. Unleashing this one on the border reporters.

This - and also, autistic people who don't work, who need help in the bathroom, who produce nothing of monetary value and have no spectacular talents, are also human beings. Even if all the premises of RFK's argument are true, the conclusion - that autistic lives aren't worth living - is false.

I know I keep saying this, but it is incredible important to understand that the Nazi playbook was US policy. So much of the anti intellectualism has been to erase the fact that the US was on this road before the Germans and is simply reverting to the original horrors that were in motion.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

Don't write this off as "only the tech press gets it". There are many tech publications falling down on the job. TechDirt, Rolling Stone, and Teen Vogue have realized that "unopinionated" articles only happen when you think the status quo is fine. Give them credit.

I spoke at length with Mohsen last night. He said he was in good spirits. I asked what he thought would happen to him today. He said in the best case, he hoped he would come out a U.S. citizen. And in the worst case, the naturalization interview would turn into a honey trap for ICE.
