“If we normalize this, there’s no end.” This is what @schumer.senate.gov said he was waiting for. Defying court orders. We are there. Now what?

The inside of the nutshell summed up by @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Every part of the Trump administration is horrific🤬 Trump admin used a citizenship interview as a pretext to get 10 year US resident Mohsen Mahdawi—a Palestinian student leader at Columbia University—to come in & ICE arrested him. He's now being deported🤬 newrepublic.com/post/193975/...

Folks who were unhappy with the economy did NOT vote for tariffs. They voted for Trump’s promise to lower inflation. His choice of action - tariff implementation will INCREASE inflation.

Yesterday some said the President’s pause was “art of the deal perfect execution” Scott Bessent said this was always the plan. Tonight Stocks are down Bonds are down Who planned this?

Deporting US citizens who are charged with crimes without due process is where I draw the line. Just me? or Just another day in trumpsism?

@parkroseperma.bsky.social highlights a great read in one of her latest YT posts: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what... The concept of a wider social strike vs a general strike (withholding paid labor) is instructive. @generalstrikeus.bsky.social not all 3.5% is on you! It's on all of us!

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

My article in Kyiv Post on How Europe can help Ukraine win the war. www.kyivpost.com/opinion/50602

Its true that America citizens can’t legally be deported. It’s equally clear that this administration doesn’t care about what the law says. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

We're all in danger

We are also at a political crisis, one most people are abdicating. Trump did this presser to shift that political (and legal) fight. And unless people figure that out, we will lose. Why are we talking about US citizens instead of due process proclamations of terrorism?

uncanny resemblance to this meme

Why doesn't msm call the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro an attenpted assassination?

Times left out this part

If Abrego Garcia is dead, the Trump administration isn’t pretending he’s alive because the care about optics. They need him alive to get the ruling they want from SCOTUS: that Trump doesn’t have to actually bring anyone back from CECOT that was accidentally sent there.

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

💥 Some "cave to the loudest voices demanding a step backward. Some have quietly dismantled their DEI..." Costco "held its ground, recognizing that diversity and inclusion aren’t just buzzwords; they’re essential to a thriving workplace and a successful business." www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

I was in a discussion today that we all should be involved stoping this insanity, not so much for me but for those who will be hurt so much, & for generations to come. Ask Target if there are regrets about their step back from Diversity Equality & Inclusivity policies. 10 weeks in a row less sales

“I was just following orders”

The U.S. says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. El Salvador also says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. It’s obvious bullshit and depraved to the core.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

PRELOGAR PUSHBACK: The US government's top #SCOTUS lawyer under Biden, Elizabeth Prelogar, is urging law firms (& universities) to 'stand up' to the Trump administration and 'to do it together.' More: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

look at this crooked punk mocking American laws. this guy's government is best known for human rights abuses and death squads. and now he says he has no control over the prison.

The entire presser, INCLUDING Bukele's video, was staged defiance. It shows that Trump is not facilitating Abrego Garcia's return--SCOTUS' order. It was staged to precede the status hearing tomorrow. It was also staged to present the claim of terrorism in unquestioned fashion for media to parrot.

SCOTUS didn't order Trump to return Abrego Garcia. They ordered the lower court to define "effectuate," they told trump to "facilitate" the return, they told trump to be ready to report the steps he's taking, & they told Xinis to show due regard & deference to trump's power over foreign affairs.

Just asking questions, Stephen!!

Meta is on trial in DC today. The FTC is advancing a blockbuster antitrust case, alleging that Mark Zuckerberg's company illegally built a "social networking monopoly" through years of "anticompetitive conduct." But there is a big if: Whether President Trump will intervene. Here's my full story >>>

John Oliver on the administration's tariff math: "It'd be like trying to figure out the square footage of your home by dividing your phone number by your dog's age."

Utah!! "The arena has a roughly 15,000-seat capacity, according to the university. An estimated 1,000 more packed the arena floor, and about 4,000 crowded outside the arena..." utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/04/13/b...

BAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

BREAKING: China has stopped importing US beef. Australia has stepped up to fill in the gap. The US’s $2.5 billion beef trade to China has come to a halt. Thanks to the POS in chief, agent Krasnov, “winning” is actually losing. America is really not awesome rn. amp.abc.net.au/article/1051...

I really hoped someone rigged that trophy to fall apart because that would be epic.
