🧵 I’m back with your nightly dose of WTF, America?! Where gaslighting is policy, cruelty is strategy, and the GOP’s lies come with firebombs and missiles. You’ll find one timeline cleanser and one action item at the end—because we can’t just scream into the void. Let’s dive in.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Take a few minutes & watch this outstanding segment by @maddow.msnbc.com. On Wednesday, we met with a legislative aide in @moulton.house.gov's office to discuss Trump and Kennedy's war on our #PublicHealth system. Needless to say, this segment was cathartic to watch watch. #SaveTheCDC

If you don’t live in MA you may not have caught this, but the good citizens of Cambridge gave Harvard an earful yesterday. Has there ever been a time in U.S. history when regular folks had to yell at an elite university to stand up to the president? #MomSky www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/m...

The dumbest thing Democrats could do right now is lend even a scintilla of credence to a bad president’s worst idea.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

Bravo to Susman Godfrey. My first reaction to hearing they had been targeted was to tell people that it wasn’t in that firm’s DNA to settle. Their late founder Steve Susman would be proud of his firm—as should our profession and all freedom-loving Americans.

I’ve been reading through this latest issue of Wired and I’m really impressed—page after page of interesting, timely features with a lot of the brand’s classic winking voice that’s been missing for years. Deeply satisfying and coherent magazine issue with no fluff. Go @katie-drummond.bsky.social

Dems in Congress, universities, Big Law, corporations who keep trying appeasement hoping it will work: you fuckers had better think about how that will work out for you in the post-Tr*mp era, bc we will not forget who capitulated and who held the line.

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

🚨BREAKING: Four more Big Law firms join the ranks of Trump collaborators. A&O Shearman, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins and Simpson Thacher all capitulated. In a sign of growing inflation, each firm agreed to $125m in Trump approved pro bono. Shameful.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.
