It looks like the Trump regime is trying to hide ICE flights from the public tracker.

HHS has released a snitch form to report healthcare providers who provide Gender Affirming Care for youth. You all know what to do with this. www.hhs.gov/protect-kids...

Trump suggests stripping Harvard's 501(c)3 status as political retribution for standing up to him. It will not stop with Harvard, the goal is to do this to all civil society organizations that oppose him, including orgs like the ACLU. He's trying to destroy all political opposition.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court order after kidnapping and shipping off an innocent father without due process to a foreign prison known for human rights abuses. “Never again is now”

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump. You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans. The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults. Subscribe to support my reporting.

Charlottesville & UVA folks, a trusted source affiliated w/the immigration rapid response hotline reports ICE has been seen in town today conducting welfare checks. Please let at-risk folls know, & call the hotline if you need assistance:

OK, that’s that for me today. Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

Today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step for citizenship. Instead, he was arrested by plain-clothed, armed individuals with faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. He must receive due process and be released.

Trump told us the plan today: The Trump administration wants the prison in El Salvador — and, perhaps, others — to hold Americans. Importantly, Vance, Rubio, and Bondi did not appear surprised or upset by this news — in fact, it did not appear to be news to them at all. This is the plan. Law Dork:

The Trump administration defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling is truly a test of the government’s checks and balances.

Today, the government detained another student for their speech. Mohsen Mahdawi's attorneys have already filed a petition for his release and a Vermont judge ordered he not be moved out of state. As his fight continues, let us be clear: Dissent is not grounds for deportation.

Hungary has just passed a constitutional amendment banning all public gatherings of LGBTQ people. This is a carbon copy of Russia's criminalization of LGBTQ people. apnews.com/article/hung...

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Stop. The. Machine. No votes. No NOTHING! Until Kilmar Abrego Garcia is BACK ON UNITED STATES SOIL! And THEN we must hold EVERYONE involved in this massive criminal enterprise ACCOUNTABLE!

NEW: Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S. The Trump administration wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan. Today, at Law Dork —>

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

👇👇

The president who in 2020 had unidentified federal agents deployed against protesters is now encouraging a foreign dictator to build more prisons to accommodate "homegrown" "criminals," as he ignores a court order to effect the return of a guy sent to a foreign prison without any due process.

We must DEMAND that our legislators stop working with the GOP. They are kidnapping and torturing innocent Americans, openly defying Supreme Court orders. We must SHUT IT DOWN

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

DHS is paying the president of El Salvador to imprison immigrants from the U.S. in brutal conditions — and today, Trump welcomed him to the White House. Our government shouldn’t ship people off to be tortured.

This country is being ripped apart because of sheer ignorance, privilege, and selfishness.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Planned Parenthood of Arizona has stopped providing Gender Affirming Care for ADULTS in response to threats from the Trump administration. To be clear: Gender Affirming Care for ADULTS is being attacked and basically banned by the Trump administration.

Wait so all I have to do is take a bite out of a trying I import and it has no tariffs?

I tell anyone who will listen that Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for decades. Here are two Missouri Senators burning the “woke agenda” nearly two years ago. The photo op was meant to simulate Nazis burning books.

Following up on this. They just banned a Canadian trans musician from getting a visa to tour the US. They're straight up banning trans people from entering the US. www.stereogum.com/2303977/bell...

My Massachusetts-born law/platonic life partner received this email today in which DHS "encourages" her to leave the United States "immediately on your own" rather than face criminal prosecution, which is of course fine and normal

I’m not kidding; this is DOGE at work; multiple US citizens getting notices that they just leave the country because USCIS is revoking their humanitarian parole. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

He wants to abolish the lower courts.

Important win--the ruling doesn't really touch what Trump and Maine are disagreeing about (trans rights under Title IX) but it does find Trump can't just arbitrarily punish states like this on a whim

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

I spoke to another person this week—also a US-born citizen—who showed me the DHS email she received informing her that she had to leave the country. Incompetent, evil or both?

World Pride, which is being held in DC this year, has just issued a travel advisory warning international trans visitors to avoid coming. www.nbcnews.com/video/worldp...

I can't believe I have to think about law firms behaving badly right now, on top of everything else.

RE Mahmoud: The order today is horrific, but expected. This is what immigration courts, especially in the South, function to do. Habeas proceeding in NJ is still pending. They *need* to win - getting it back to NJ, where he can appeal to the 3rd Circuit, rather than the 5th, could mean everything

Freedom of speech is dead

Khalil has the constitutional right to freedom of speech just the same as you, myself, and anyone else in the United States. If they can kidnap him for it, they just as easily can take us next.

Trump has just replaced President Obama’s official presidential portrait in the White House with a painting of himself.

Just now: The Education Department said it is referring its Title IX investigation into Maine schools to the Justice Department. Maine's state education department had until Friday to agree to ban trans athletes from girls' sports. thehill.com/homenews/lgb...
