Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

If you're negotiating about what kinds of people the American SS is allowed to blackbag and whisk away to a foreign gulag, you've already lost

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

"She's a supermodel but she lives in Canada."

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

This isn't just donalds doing. The Republicans in Congress own this. They had the ability to stop him and they didn't. This isn't donalds economy, this is the republican economy.

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy. These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do. prospect.org/economy/2025...

I want every CEO who pulled for Trump b/c Biden was old or Kamala was going to do “socialism” to grocery prices to put on their fucking clown makeup today.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

This was such a satisfying project, and one in which I realized for the first time how much my whole life had been spent in a manscape, in places where almost everything was named after men.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Can people please pretend to give a shit about the fact that Hegseth described war crimes and not just war plans- the destruction of an apartment building and the murder of dozens of Yemeni civilians to try and get at one alleged terrorist? And that these are the same rules of engagement Biden had?

I’ve been thinking about Susie Wiles being on this chat in which there was an unknown number. I think the President of the United States should probably have a more diligent Chief of Staff….

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much
