The number of international students hit by the Trump administration's visa actions is likely much larger than reported. For example, Northwest Missouri State has 43 revocations--twice as many as the University of Michigan. The regional public angle here deserves more attention.

Climatologist @frediotto.bsky.social - ‘The more unequal the society is, the more severe the climate disaster’ - her new book argues that inequality, wealth and sexism are making the climate crisis worse – and says what we need to do about it #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Everything is a grift in this administration.

Putin wants to murder more people, Ukraine wants peace, and Trump wants to use the war to make a fortune.

This is what genocide looks like.

"Deputies are stopping Hispanic drivers for minor, unprovable traffic violations like veering left of center, then handing them over to Border Patrol agents who are sometimes already at the scene, the Syracuse.com investigation shows." www.syracuse.com/news/2025/04...

18/19 yo Euro backpackers were detained in Honolulu. “It was a real jail. Metal doors, locked cells, cold air. And they made us do a full strip search. It was really cold. We had to undress completely, including bra and underwear, and even had to squat and spread… it was humiliating and scary.“

SINNERS. Go see it. In a theater. 70mm if possible. I’d read nothing about the movie, watched no trailers — went in blind and was BLOWN AWAY. And Delroy Lindo better get an Oscar nomination.

Fascism & eugenics go hand in hand Trump has mocked a disabled reporter & said his own disabled nephew should be left to die RFK Jr attacked autistics for not paying taxes Dr Oz says it’s your patriotic duty to be healthy enough to join the military No social justice without disability justice.

The right wants to win the conversation by limiting the terrain for debate. Step back, look at the bigger picture, define, and defend what is really at stake.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

If you see an ICE agent, please remind them that they are a fascist pig. Thank you.

Every person sitting in CECOT is illegally imprisoned. None of them were afforded their due process rights. Impeach Trump. Impeach Vance. Impeach Bondi. impeach Rubio. Impeach all of them, then criminally prosecute them and put them in prison when they are found guilty.

It’s really interesting seeing how true this has turned out to be in my case. I came from studying Russian misinformation and the unreality state that existed around Putin and the oligarchs. by the time 2017/18 came around it was clear that we were in the same spiral of state capture.

Good by Democratic Republic hello Trump gulag hell

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The White House & El Salvador's president have adopted a logically false argument: That a deported Maryland father is at a terrorist prison, therefore he is a terrorist -- who can't be returned. Now the DOJ is telling a judge DHS has no "authority" to bring him back. www.notus.org/immigration/...

“Then they came for the trade unionists“

It is difficult to convey precisely what is happening at HHS—how it’s so unprecedented and why it’s so destructive—because the changes are happening in so many places throughout the department simultaneously, and with no transparency.

A sign of whether America is finished irrevocably will be whether, in five or ten years, there's trials for these people and their bosses.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Russian ballistic missiles hit the city of Sumy again — just after the horrific Russian ballsitic missile attack that killed dozens of innocent civilians.

This is not the country I want to live in. When do we stop going to work like it's just another day?

HAPPENING NOW: Lamberth’s cruel bill that seeks to bully undocumented kids out of schools across 🇺🇸 is up in House finance Sub

Why is it that the worst freeloaders always think they are the most important?

Panicked SocSec staffers: “If bad actors have access to this database, they could essentially erase people and destroy their lives.” The Trump Administration: “Wait, really?” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

This is pure evil dictator bs. This is our government doing this. We are all culpable. Let's stop it!

Pilots should take note to use caution with all upper-level forecast products, including global models and CAMS, the rawinsondes (weather balloons) from Omaha/Valley are not happening, and as such, that data is missing in guidance products. Everything east of 96W affected.

Reading the article, I wonder how anyone can think this is ok. America cannot disappear someone to a foreign country and pretend not to have any agency or culpability.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

This is disgusting.
