Is it too soon to begin discussing all the members of the Trump regime who should be held criminally liable once the Republicans have been removed from power?

Next time someone claims that right-wing politics is motivated by "protecting children," remind them of that time right-wing ICE kidnapped a man at a gas station and left his children alone in his truck. #AmericanGestapo

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Israel's proposed escalation in Gaza, writes @gershomg.bsky.social, “is a promise to plunge deeper into darkness, militarily and morally.”

NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one www.nbcnews.com/world/russia.... However, this seems half the problem (1/n)

The Trump administration ground refugee admissions to a halt, suspending a program that lets in thousands of people fleeing war or political persecution -- except now for one group: White South Africans. @teoarmus.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The average cost for having a child is about $13,393 for delivery alone. Families spend approximately $12,472 annually or $1,039 per month on daycare. So while elected officials celebrate Mother’s Day, they should also pass universal healthcare and universal childcare ASAP.

Absolutely insane that US academics, political leaders and protesters are being condemned as "antisemitic" for saying what a Jewish former defense minister now says about Israel.

Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...

Not saying Bill Gates is a saint or anything but it's weird to see a billionaire who, rather than being a complete psychopath who wants to enslave humanity and drink the blood of the young, instead thinks his money should be used to cure diseases and stuff

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

Here’s a preview of the coming clash with SCOTUS which has already confirmed noncitizens are entitled to due process. “Sudden deportation” violates the Constitution.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Americans are being arrested for doing stuff we’ve always been free to do- we could disagrees with a policy, we were free to peacefully protest. Mayor of Newark was just arrested. Lawmakers manhandled. Ive never been harassed by gangs, but masked ICE raiders are everywhere, taking people away.

Friday night Tequila tweet: She was in this country LEGALLY. She wrote an op-ed. And bcuz she wrote an op-ed, our government disappeared her, detained her for 6wks, & tried to deport her. Fuck that. That’s not America. Today she was freed. And free speech held. THAT’S America.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

BREAKING: Trump “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus — which would allow government to arrest, exile, detain, and even kill ANY of us. With NO trial, NO lawyer, NO judge ever hearing from you. It would be the death of freedom in America.
