NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

TACO is a weapon. It's simple, meme-able, organic. It's both a defiance and a provocation. Put it on red hats and stickers in the MAGA font. Make it hurt. www.thebulwark.com/p/community-...

"This is typical of regimes that are headed toward fascism. They break the law out in the open over and over again precisely because they want the people to think that the law simply doesn’t apply anymore."

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

This is pure fucking evil

A case study in textbook authoritarianism: Day by day, we’re seeing the Justice Department effectively decriminalize and wave away crimes by Trump’s friends and instead selectively focus investigatory resources on Trump’s adversaries and enemies. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/crime-is-n...

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

It’d be pretty cool if aspirational masculinity was just like. Being a gentle, funny dad and a loving partner and having jumper cables and a lug wrench on hand and maybe learning how to build and paint sets for school plays instead of being a sentient crypto ham hock with a creatine addiction

I can't imagine looking at this and feeling anything other than nausea and despair. It's an ad for voluntarily surrendering your humanity in exchange for a low-intensity jerkoff machine.

This is what made it an attempted coup and not just a riot. A belatedly successful coup attempt, I suppose it is now.

He is stupid. He is incompetent. He is cruel. He is sinister. And people will die because of what he’s done. https://trib.al/zLgPMih

It's a fair point. Even Orban hasn't been this destructive to the poor and his base (even if the economy is being totally propped up by EU investment at this point)

Here's a complete list of *everything* in the GOP megabill, thanks to heroic efforts from @aliciaparlap.bsky.social @emmbadger.bsky.social and Josh Katz. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Little is more un-American than a federal bureaucrat demanding that a private university demonstrate its ideological fealty to the government under pain of punishment.” www.thefire.org/news/trump-b...

It’s the largest upward transfer of wealth in American history, and House Republicans just voted to make it happen By @jonathanbchait.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I genuinely can’t believe the Republican House went through with this nightmare….

Thread.

On top of the massive breaking of contracts & undermining property rights that has already happened. So much bluff-calling for the now-silent folks who ostensibly care about the excessive regulation & massive overreach of the federal government into the private sector. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The Republican administration is also ordering all current international students (and postdocs, I believe) at Harvard to transfer or leave the country. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/05...

I think many people have a vague sense that Trump is racist, but they don't fully realize just how much the up and coming Republican staffer class is marinating in actual neo-Nazi propaganda online, because the media underreports this story. And it is only going to get worse in the coming years.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's attorneys urgently ask Judge Farbiarz to order ICE to permit Khalil to hold his newborn son today "for the most elementary human reasons." ICE has so far denied the request, despite his wife and child having made the 1,500-mile trip. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

There’s still time to comment and make it clear that everyone needs the right and ability to get Covid boosters! The more people who push back, the better the odds they reverse this harmful policy decision.

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Essential read

This is immensely messed up.

The sort of person who would illegally "deport" a Vietnamese immigrant to a prison in South Sudan against court orders is the sort of person who should not be allowed to remain free in a civil society.

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.

This is straight up evil. Everyone involved must be prosecuted and do jail time.

Official CBO analysis confirms the obvious: House Republican tax and budget bill isn't shared sacrifice. It makes poor people poorer and rich people richer. It does this by cutting health care & nutrition to help finance tax cuts skewed to the wealthy. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

Someone please explain to me how this isn’t a flagrant violation of SCOTUS’ decision in AARP that due process requires more than 24 hours of notice.

Sounds like enforced disappearance

this is human trafficking

When we add to this the Cato Institute report showing how many migrants sent to El Salvador had in fact entered the country legally, THIS is the top story of the night. The U.S. is sending people to horrors in foreign prisons. People who have had no due process. An actual nightmare.

MREs? oh you mean tactical bento boxes

DOGE is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system—the likes of which we have never seen in the US. Trump could soon have the tools to satisfy his many grievances by swiftly locating compromising information about anyone he doesn't like. Our privacy laws aren't protecting us! Gift link.

AOC, talking Medicaid cuts — after Rep. Weber chides her for addressing the camera: “.. There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. .. They deserve. To see. What is happening. Here.” @aoc.bsky.social

ICE convinced a woman she was being arrested and then threatened to take her baby into custody unless a relative showed up to take her. It was all a ruse to get her mother to leave her house. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
