Whilst liar Trump tries to justify his nutty tariffs on the basis that all these other countries are “ripping the USA off” the Tholos International Trade Barrier Index (ITB) that takes account of non tariff barriers (eg regulatory barriers) tell the opposite story. apple.news/AA03H6RsmTQa...

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Don't let this sort of thing become normalized. No criminal record. Married with a child. Complying with immigration bureaucracy. Agents wait outside his home. Smash his window while he calls his lawyer. Take him to an undisclosed location. This is Soviet secret police stuff. youtu.be/Bnlj-wSI4Bg

A thread in which I try to show some of the harmful practical effects on the quality of its analysis of the Supreme Court's appalling and delegitimating decision to exclude all trans voices from a judgment with profound effects on trans people's lives.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

“[The Trump administration] made a mistake and now they sent him to prison and now they don’t want to bring him back and I think that should raise an alarm to every American," said our Executive Director @vcardenas.bsky.social “So this idea that they cannot bring him back, for me, is also not real”

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

“It was a Roman salute” “It’s ridiculous to call us Nazis” Meanwhile the US govt is funding and celebrating a fucking outsourced CONCENTRATION CAMP in El Salvador which forgoes due process, locks up people without evidence and has a courtyard full of bodies and blood. This is who America is now.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

US Health Insurance employs 1 million people. That is more than all the nurses and doctors in the USA. And it is completely unnecessary, it doesn't even need to exist. That's what your ridiculous Health Insurance pays for, not Healthcare.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

If billionaires are rich enough to pointlessly send people into space, they are rich enough to pay their goddamn taxes.

The billionaires are the ones who need a pay cut. The richest 150 billionaires in the UK are extracting £120bn a year in profit, on which they pay almost no tax. Cutting this by half would be enough to give every single worker in the UK a more than £2000 pay rise.

In 1933 within months of coming to power Adolf Hitler opened Dachau his longest running Concentration Camp. In 2025 within months of coming to power Donald Trump began deporting anyone he liked to his Concentration Camp in El Salvador. History never changes.

Do these ICE agents realize that they are liable, and can be charged and arrested for these crimes, even if it takes a long time. Look what happened to all of the gestapo guards that paid the price after WW2. They will chase them down even if they are grandparents when they finally get to them.
