I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Today I was talking with an Irish astronomer about the discovery of the first galaxies and I thanked him for helping me with one of the videos I’m working on over here. Then I mentioned one of the other videos is about peat bogs and he was like “my family has a bog, what do you want to know?”

When you removed populations from the category of human rights, are you removing them from the category of human?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Jawdropping. You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States. This country is unrecognizable.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Cryptocurrency’s transparency is a mirage: New research shows a small group of insiders influence its value

We are in a time where objective truths matter more than ever. Factuality and democracy is under attack by those who thrive in darkness and those who fall victim to their false claims. We need to protect access to truth for everyone, with no financial or political agenda. forwardcanada.ca/protectcbc

In news that will surprise absolutely no one: New research confirms that states with abortion bans are losing OB-GYNs.

More climate-flation ahead in grocery aisles.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.  There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

It has been more than two days that the supply of electricity to Gaza has been shut off. It must resume — essentials including food, electricity, and medical supplies should never be used as political tools. (1/3)

More of this!

here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

The media showed every Trump rally but won’t show a single Bernie Sanders rally. Now that we control the biggest independent news network in America we will flip the script and show every Bernie Sanders rally, like the last one on Sunday in Altoona, Wisconsin youtu.be/2StnaGCQPCI?...

Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. Indivisibles are organizing to stop President Musk from purchasing a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The outcome of this race will impact the 2026 and 2028 elections, and you can help us get out the vote from anywhere: indivisible.org/scowis2025

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Speak out. Organize. Across all the silos. They are testing to see what they can get away with.

Putin murdering Ukrainian civilians with military weapons “is doing what anyone else would do,” says our compromised President. Meanwhile the brave Zelenskyy, survivor of multiple Russian murder plots, is blamed for not wearing a tie. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?
