The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp. Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

I do not have the words for how reckless, stupid, and dangerous that this is. Hegseth is in far, far over his head.

Disappearing people. This is not the country I grew up in–and I’m not going to let it be the country I leave to my children. I will continue speaking up because it is clear this is a constitutional crisis and being silent is being complicit.

1/ THIS IS WHAT YOU GET DID YOU READ THIS SHYT😳 WHO gave HEALTH TRACKING DEVICE COMPANIES PERMISSION TO RELEASE OUR DATA❓😒🤔🤷🏽‍♀️

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent. That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

They're going after the accreditation of universities and threatening to revoke the ability of accreditors if they don't crack down on DEI and LGBTQ people in academia. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies" What's Title VI? "prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

It should horrify you that it took a major media organization publishing a full investigation into the forced disappearance of a Venezuelan man for DHS to admit where it sent him and what his current location is.

Since the 2022 Dobbs decision, there has been a widening influence among a movement of anti-abortion activists called "abortion abolitionists" that seeks to outlaw all abortions and enforce the ban by prosecuting any woman who has one with homicide.

So my read of this is that they are hoping this will go to SCOTUS and SCOTUS will rule in their favor by gutting the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is to say that science funding is their trojan horse for legalizing resegregation in all facets of American life 🧪

The most concerning part about the DOGE / NLRB story is that the whistleblower claims a login attempt using VALID DOGE credentials was made from Russia shortly after DOGE started moving data.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

@mattlanza.bsky.social my morning commute was perilous. Rain gauge at Brays Bayou and South Main reported 1" of rain in 15 minutes as I was driving in. Poor decision. Should've stayed home. How's the rest of today looking?

The statement from NOAA also seems false and disrespectful to our intelligence. “Staff reallocation” implies hundreds of people aren’t being fired but rather moved around. Reality is they’re being fired or “strongly encouraged” to retire.

Of local importance, and a reason why I am speaking out probably more than I am comfortable doing, is that, as Alan writes the NWS Houston office is likely to be staffed with 0 management as we approach hurricane season. Our HGX mets are amazing & highly dedicated and will do their absolute best.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

US FDA suspends food safety quality checks after staff cuts reut.rs/42C4h1Z

We already know — Trump’s preaching “Made in America,” while he’s been outsourcing to China for years… and his voters who buy this crap don’t GAF! A Chinese news site repurposed this video to spotlight his hypocritical business practices— and Trump’s officially entered the “find out” phase.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

What remains when courts no longer carry weight, when moral appeals drown in the applause of power, when a man vanishes in the name of political expediency? Then the rule of law dies, not with a bang, but with a handshake. Say his name…Kilmar Abrego Garcia

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

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...

Here’s the letter the White House (technically the GSA) sent Harvard. Worth reading. Essentially demands full control over directing the university. www.harvard.edu/research-fun...

This is our Gestapo.

We need to give up the framing that they imprisoned a man in El Salvador “mistakenly.” Their actions prove this is intentional. Did they mean for this to be the trial run? Don’t know. But they’re running hard with it. That’s not a “mistake.” That’s fascism.
