We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Courage is contagious. #Harvard Have the day you deserve.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

It's repulsive.

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

“we will work to stop something that isn’t happening and then take a victory lap because the thing that wasn’t happening still isn’t”

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Yep, THIS. Disgustingly, THIS.

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

They only have to detain, deport, or disappear a quite small critical mass of people for the chilling effects of authoritarianism to spread throughout the entire population. It doesn’t have to happen to you to change your behavior and your world entirely.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Seriously, THIS!

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

So ICE can nab anyone they like and “take him anyway” even if that person was not the original target and just doing laundry. No one is safe - and I mean no one - not just those of us with tanned skin.

Ugh, shame on these companies and law firms. What a disgrace.

No administration in American history, not Jackson w/ Indian removal, not Lincoln in Merryman, not FDR over the New Deal, not Truman in Youngstown, not Nixon over the tapes, not Bush with Guantanamo, has openly defied a court order like this, much less one unanimously endorsed by the Supreme Court.

Our government is snatching up innocent people. This is NOT what America should be.👇

All the supposed Christians in the Trump administration should be appalled by this, especially during Holy Week, when we remember another man unjustly imprisoned... "U.S. Renews Opposition to Bringing Back Maryland Man Wrongly Deported to El Salvador" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

MOODY!

It's kidnapping.

Same.

Yep, THIS.

How many lifetimes' worth of work is being destroyed by all this? And to what end?? www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Yep.

NEW: DOGE is falling far short of its goals — and still drastically over-stating its success. Here’s why: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Seriously, THIS.

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

This part

Sure. Tell Grandma to just head on over to X to sign up for her benefits.

Yes, THIS.

“They’ve been relentlessly dismantling every single civil rights agency in the federal government, and this could be the last one standing.” Garza added that she is “prepared to challenge any attempt to illegally remove me as chairwoman.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Good news: the Trump Administration has backed off its planned cuts to Social Security’s phone services. Putting pressure on the Administration can work—let’s keep at it! www.axios.com/2025/04/09/s...

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.
