I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

🚨🚨🚨 In the last two hours, the Trump admin: - Banned all immigrant visas from 19 countries, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela - Banned all student and researcher visas to Harvard - Colluded with Texas to kick 20,000 undocumented college students off of in-state tuition.

🚨 When it rains it pours; Trump has apparently signed ANOTHER 212(f) travel ban tonight, this time banning all foreign students and researchers going to Harvard.

Breaking: Trump just issued a sweeping new travel ban. 
The ban fully restricts people from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The ban partially restricts Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition. This may force thousands to drop out.

If overtly L.G.B.T.Q. books continue to be banished from library shelves, then it may be left to older works like “Ferdinand the Bull” and “Frog and Toad” to smuggle in queer-friendly themes.

Unreal.

Ukraine used $47,000 in drones to inflict $7,000,000,000 of damage. War changed today. Forever.

This is a good way for Springsteen to sort out the fans who understand the sarcasm embedded in the lyrics of Born in the USA, from those who don’t. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/m...

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

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.
