WATCH: “We are American citizens. We were denied having our passports renewed at the 🇺🇸 embassy in Dakar (Senegal). This is absolutely asinine.” 🤔

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

@therickwilson.bsky.social, on a lighter note, I was a beast yesterday (as my sister described it when I told her) at work. Between work and home, I walked 14.3 miles.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

@therickwilson.bsky.social, that arrest near Tufts seems a lot like the anonymized law enforcement on the Lincoln Memorial in the first Trump administration. What’s with law enforcement allowing themselves to go out with all badges removed?

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the names of individuals to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

You know, there were Germans who resisted Nazism. Brave souls who couldn’t bear the shame. People who did all they could even though being caught meant death. The Americans right now who are obeying in advance. Who are capitulating out of fear of loss of PROFIT, how can you possibly bear the shame?

Case in point: Social Security. I know that Musk and Trump can’t just rip money away from people, but I knew the move they would use to get at it — destroy the system from the inside. Just like what Missouri Republicans did to Medicaid: Don’t answer the phones… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

@therickwilson.bsky.social, FWIW, the National Association of Letter Carriers is having numerous nationwide rallies this Sunday. Ours locally is at the Federal Plaza in Chicago at 10:30 AM. Maybe you guys at Lincoln Square can grab some of the coverage for an ad. Good luck with the combined venture.
