My Oscar for ‘No Other Land’ Didn’t Protect Me From Violence www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/o...

This is a really important response to the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan by Kash Patel's lawless FBI. Good on Representative Clancy.

Take the power back!!! On Thursday April 24th we’re launching a new phase of the #TeslaTakedown campaign: the Divest Public Dollars from Elon Musk Campaign. RSVP for the call here: tinyurl.com/divestkickoff

Enforced disappearances have come to the United States. Hear from people who have fought them in Latin America. A week from Wednesday. Happening online. Join the discussion 4/30 at 2pm Eastern. Or bookmark it and watch later. Announcement: bit.ly/apr-30-disap... Register: bit.ly/apr-30-lessons

As hopefully you know by now @repyassansari.bsky.social @robertgarcia.bsky.social @repdexteror.bsky.social and @frost.house.gov are in El Salvador right now This is their full press conference from about an hour ago I promise you you wanna watch this whole thing

We are in a constitutional crisis. I’m in El Salvador to shine a light on Kilmar’s story and keep the pressure on Donald Trump to secure his safe return home.

In case you don’t know yet, four of our greatest congressional fighters are in El Salvador right now. I knew this was coming. I didn’t know it was coming without us knowing before it happened. I don’t see a lot of people talking about this yet, so I hope this post changes that 🧵

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Here's the script, folks. It's now or never. Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 Local office numbers: www.congress.gov/members/find... RTs appreciated.

There are many words inappropriate to the task of describing what is going on right now. High up on that list are "deportations" for abductions, "Constitutional crisis" for MAGA dictatorship, "violation of norms/checks and balances" for fascism. Our refusal to even say what is empowers it.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Here’s why we should ALL care about the #KilmarAbregoGarcia case. Below please find a call script about it, too, as well as a @resist.bot code so you can send a letter after you call. This is a turning point. Let’s make sure we turn *away* from authoritarianism—not closer towards it.

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Two common misconceptions are on my mind today: 1. Overestimating the power of a single day of protest. 2. Underestimating the power of a single day of protest.

Goal: Crush universities Need a policy tool: Civil Rights Act Title VI gives tools to stop funding to universities if they violate someone's civil rights. Need a violation to allege: Use the Jews! Using us as a wedge to attack free speech & inquiry does not protect us. bsky.app/profile/cram...

Wow - Polestar has extended its $20K discount for current Tesla owners for another month! Now available through the end of April! www.polestar.com/us/offers/new/ #TeslaTakedown @alexwinter.com @teslatakedown.com

Indivisible is Obeying in Advance, threatening to delete previously-approved Tesla Takedown event posts for the 3/29 Day of Action, if those events don't retroactively comply with arbitrary rules to "not be about boycotting the company". Screenshot is email from Indivisible staff. #TeslaTakedown

Disappeared Tufts Human Dev. PhD student Rumesya Ozturk is also a graduate of Teachers College - she’s a dev. psychologist studying children’s media & prosocial development. She also bakes without recipes and binge-watches cartoons. She is our colleague & she was abducted on the street w/ our tax $.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

Historian of slavery here this is like freedom seekers and free blacks being kidnapped by marshals and sent to the south. The Anti Man Hunting League in Boston with local chapters in the Commonwealth fought to prevent it.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

If we let Musk and Trump use secret police to arrest international students and Green Card holders for their political beliefs, American citizens will be next. #teslatakedown is fighting to stop the coup, restore our constitutional order and defend our rights. Join us: teslatakedown.com
