Happy to report that I threw my Harry Potter books in the garbage and made sure that coffee grounds made it in between pages here and there. Thinking about it, I should have tossed them in a bin in a park where dog owners could have piled on bags of shit. I can't fathom being so gleefully evil.

For those of you surprised that Donald Trump is OK with facilitating the inhumane mistreatment of prisoners in an El Salvador concentration camp, Donald Trump rewarded the government that assassinated Jamal Khashoggi with a bone-saw.

Abu Ghraib photos were for the participants, who didn't expect they'd become public. Republican members of Congress taking similarly posed photos in El Salvador's CECOT prison are doing so for public consumption. What a way to put it.👇

Trump threatens to block all 10,000 international students from attending Harvard unless the school turns over student info they’ll use for new visa revocations and deportations. Every day feels like a fresh round of this country stabbing itself in the face. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.

Folks are missing this: When Salvadoran VP said to Sen Van Hollen that Trump is paying them to hold migrants, he wrecked WH scam by revealing that of course Bukele would release Abrego Garcia if Trump asked. Talked about this w/ @melissagiragrant.com. Transcript: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

Not for nothing but that first sentence is patently false. Congress has power to regulate commerce with foreign nations! Which, as in the domestic case (indeed much more clearly than in the domestic case), doesn't just mean mercantile trade, it means goings-on

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

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.

Zero sympathy here. First, you are a member of a political party that has catered to extremists while allowing the proliferation of 400 million guns. Second, some jobs involve inherent personal risk. I had one in Iraq and Afghanistan. If it isn't for you, resign and let a braver person do it.

I don't even know what he said, but eff his ableist, stigmatizing ass. Every neurotype offers profound gifts to our communities and our cultures, and, dammit, we will build a world that actually honors and respects that fact (and is actually accessible to everyone equitably.)

Say more, Senator. Who, specifically, are you afraid of? Who do they work for? To which political party do they belong? What are they doing/saying in particular to make you afraid? Why will you not explicitly call out the perpetrators and organizers of this mass campaign of terror?

Republicans have been saying this on the DL for a while now but she might be one of the first, along with Romney, who said it out loud. They created this monster. We warned them. Now we're all held captive by a violent fascist movement and cult of Trump.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.
