“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”. Got that? Not. A. Crime.” From my new Guardian op-ed:

Would be a good idea for @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com and others to put Trumps criteria for impeachment top of the fold and ask why the double standard...

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

So much winning. He and his enablers aren't going to stop the chaos, firings and dismantling until interest rates are 0% and people start dying like they did when he decided to ignore the intelligence on a potential pandemic in November and waited until April.

Hi @mayor.nyc.gov - seems like there's a lot going on so we took the liberty of planning a ribbon cutting for the long-promised Queensboro Bridge pedestrian lane. April 12 - Honey Locust Park Join us! (and let us know if a better date works for you!) www.mobilize.us/transalt/eve...

Very sad to see this www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

One day we will understand better the facts around why we had Trump 1 and now we are just starting Trump 2. In both cases the list of negatives is so huge no meme can cover it

I keep reading through tue multi page reciprocal tariff list and i still can’t find Russia or Belarus.

A senator who understands the political economy of authoritarianism.

So... tariffs are a beautiful way of raising huge amounts of revenue, because everyone's going to pay more to buy imported goods. BUT, at same time, no-one's going to buy imported goods because instead they're all going to buy American now. Logically, it can't be both; but in Trumpworld it is.

I'm currently going through the naturalization process to become a U.S. citizen, and a new pop-up just appeared on my USCIS account that has a strikingly different tone from anything I remember seeing on the portal before.

I guess we don't need their lava...

What techniques do we have to resist being part of the #newAmericanpolicestate. $$$ 1.Get off all Meta and direct Google platforms. 2. Don't buy anything via Amazon. 3.create messaging links to record opposition and protest without paywalls. Others? Talk to everyone and encourage dialogue

Don't count,people who read, people who cherish libraries, and people who like learning, out. The war against us is well underway. ?? if Congress created this in 1996 Congress should be forced to vote for its dismantling. #Callyourelecteds

So much winning....

One think I love about @bsky.app is the #canadiancontent

Inevitably what'll happen, soon, is video will appear of masked plainclothes white men yanking a woman off the street into a van, and then ICE or CBP will go "no, actually that wasn't us" And no one will be able to figure out whether they're lying, or ever see her again.

We need a forum to record the opposition these abuses of power, to collect facts about specific events and loss of rights w/o exposing orgs and individuals & without a donation! Like a text based digital platform ASAP to collect people's input w/o a paywall or any advertising. #resistcorruption

The Real Goal of the Trump Economy is? Total Control, Revenge, playing favorites and putting all decisions in thr hands of two people who think what is good for them is good for everyone else. So much for the constitution, free markets and most of American's prospects..

Do none of the captains of industry have to take required internet security courses at work? A direct quote "If AI doesn't know with certainty the answer it will try to make it up"

Ever seen the sidewalk version of 3 card monte with three cups and a shell? #samething

We need tools to FIGHT--our rights are being taken away. Like a text messaging app where people traveling can get and give info about how they were treated. A safe 311 text app, we all could contribute to an realtime info source. #civicaction #standtogether @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

This is what we all have been missing and truly a March gift - our city described:) it made me realize how many more visionary women need locations, how street names once the subways are done @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social Thank you

We need to send the message that instagram is monitored and clearly X is by our seemingly elected but unconstitutional regime. Recommend LinkedIn, BlueSky, Reddit and Substack. Maybe they needs to be a national boycott of Meta and X

Senators-- when is it going to be too much? @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

This speaks volumes: Yale professors, Timothy Snyder, a historian of totalitarianism and the author of "On Tyranny," and Jason Stanley, a philosopher and the author of "How Fascism Works", move to Canada. leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2025/03... munkschool.utoronto.ca/person/timot...

This is a red hat I can get behind. I can imagine it selling well in Panama and Canada as well

Lawsuits seem to be the only option, even for lawyers

So on point..

@wired.com where factual reporting is happening. Much needed is coalition building of experts and associations to resist the takeover of our government by the regime. Universities, accountants, scientists, hospitals, etc each create groups to fight back against our systems being destroyed

We have been warned and warned and warned through acts against people's constitutional rights --now a clear ongoing threat of anyone being "disappeared" in real time, is that this administration is defying the courts on detaining people, and of course lying about it.

Interesting

To put it in clearer terms…

my son is 14 months old and I can hardly bear to read this stuff. I was going to say it's unimaginable but I can imagine it. the most profound evil there is www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“It’s really hurtful for the president to insinuate your job consisted of sitting at home doing nothing and cashing the paycheck..I’d like to see him sifting through spiny naiad in 120-degree weather looking for parasitic snails. He’s the one that goes golfing on the government dime...”

This is why Canada.For those fleeing the regime of graft. We are being told we can't have free speech but trump's friends can. We are supposed to accept our government's adopting Putin's techniques of intimidation? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/n...

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social when is it going to be time to resist? This is who you are funding--a government against people, NOT by the people or for the people. You voted for the wrong side.
