Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

ICE agents were waiting outside the immigration court to arrest Dylan - a Bronx high school student with no criminal record. This was an ambush. The Trump Admin is undermining due process to meet their enforcement quotas. Bring Dylan home now.

"Everywhere else you look, the Trump administration seems determined to harm our long-term competitiveness and capacity for innovation; the attacks on universities and the dramatic rollback in federally funded research will probably put a damper on our national economic dynamism for decades to come"

The bigger the lie, the louder she gets...

"'If they attempt to deport the Afghans, you’re going to see actual physical conflict between U.S. veterans and ICE,' he predicted..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

New York has a higher per-capita income, a lower crime rate and a functional insurance system.

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

If you voted for Trump, yes you DID vote to deport moms. Own it and fix yourself.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

New RESOURCE FOR YOU TO USE This is great Please follow and share widely @trumpdisasters.bsky.social

People come to the US for a new life and follow the system. They show up to court only to be arrested by scruffy, unprofessional-looking ICE agents. 
It’s time for an investigation. House Oversight Committee: this is for you! Call your reps: 202-224-3121 www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/d...

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

Beyond parody.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

“We owe a debt of gratitude to the Greatest Generation, which beat back authoritarianism around the globe. But today's Republican Party has made a mockery of that legacy,” - @stuartpstevens.bsky.social for Lincoln Square www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-worst-...

Trump is a fat, old Hitler. But he's too stupid to see that we've seen his playbook.

If you read one thing this weekend: And above all, keep faith in the long game. While narcissistic dynamics rely on urgency and alarm, deep change comes from staying calm, clear and connected. Here’s What We Need To Do To Stop Trump. www.huffpost.com/entry/psycho...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court STRIKES DOWN Trump executive order targeting law firm Jenner & Block. Another victory for law firms standing up to Trump.

lol mtg is fighting with a computer about god

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

-$1.5T in new tax cuts predominantly for the rich -$700B in Medicaid cuts -$500B in Medicare cuts -$300B in SNAP cuts -Leasing public lands to Big Oil -Ending IRS Direct File -Ending clean energy tax credits -Banning AI regulation in the states The oligarchy's wish list.

Oh. Tanning bed companies are getting a tax break while people with skin cancer are getting kicked off Medicaid? None of this is making America great.

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

Scanlon: You don’t schedule a meeting for 1 a.m. unless you’re trying to hide something. This bill is terrible. Republicans have been very reluctant to defend what’s in it.

9.5 BILLION meals for hungry kids, families & seniors. GONE. All to pay for more yachts for billionaires. It’s fucking sick. The Republican Party is demented. #StopTheBillionaireBailout!!

Refugee my ass.

That is in fact what this administration has done.

This confirms Ras Baraka’s account that he was not trespassing. Trump’s DOJ, Alina Habba and Fox News have lied about the incident repeatedly. This is a huge scandal. Trump’s shock troops arrested the mayor of the state’s largest city and then lied about it. Who ordered the arrest?

•••••BREAKING••••• DUE PROCESS is long overdue for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Rep. Dan Goldman is demanding answers from the ever-defiant, infuriatingly non-compliant Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem. “WHAT STEPS HAVE YOU TAKEN TO RETURN MR. ABREGO GARCIA PURSUANT TO THIS COURT ORDER?” Not…

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "You cannot tell us that you want to make America healthy again when you are willfully destroying programs that keep children safe and healthy from lead poisoning ... the entire staff has been fired"

🔥 DAMN! — @benniegthompson to @kristinoem: “I’m glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”

RFK Jr starts having a tantrum as Chris Murphy details how he lied during his confirmation hearing about his anti-vax views

SCOOP: CFBP just cancelled plans to implement new rules that would have tightened restrictions on what sensitive personal info data brokers are allowed to sell. The rule was proposed after data about US servicemembers was repeatedly exposed in which experts term a national security nightmare.

Turning the greatest republic in the history of the world into a shitty little personality cult dictatorship at breakneck speed.

Garcia to Noem: "Can you commit to just letting his mother know mother to mother if Andry is alive? He was given an asylum appointment by the United States government." (Noem wouldn't commit to it.)
