Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

Nothing to see here but Florida's royal family laundering public funds into the royal family's campaign slush fund. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

Again, if the idea is that when someone in custody leaves the nation’s airspace there’s no way for a court to compel the state to return them—or exert any jurisdiction at all—then you’re simply saying whoever’s in power can fly people 100 miles offshore and push them out of helicopters into the sea.

Selma. The Trump administration pulled funding meant for Selma’s schools, along with $5 million in additional funding for a statewide reading program. www.al.com/educationlab...

We are way past impeachment time

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Making a big deal about sending an all women team “to space” on Blue Origin, in full glam, while defunding programs that support women scientists and stripping DEIA from NASA…is something else. Science for me, but not for thee! #standupforscience

Women made history in space long before the Blue Origin flight: Meet the astronauts, engineers and mathematicians that pioneered aerospace over the past 100 years.

BREAKING: Filed an hour late, today's government declaration in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case comes from the acting general counsel of DHS, claiming DHS has no authority to "extract" Abrego Garcia from El Salvador and providing a YouTube link to the Oval Office comments about Abrego Garcia.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Stop pretending we aren’t here. Stop pretending the Republicans in Congress aren’t willing participants.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of NC Alliance for Retired Americans and VoteVets AF, my firm has filed an appeal to the Fourth Circuit to block the Republicans' efforts to steal a North Carolina state Supreme Court election. Follow Democracy Docket for full details. www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

going to need to start hearing from governors what they intend to do to protect residents of their states from the federal government

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

If humans being kidnapped and disappeared didn’t get you upset then maybe this will. Every single American citizen is at risk.

SCOTUS now basically irrelevant.

ALL of us. Sooner than later if we don’t stop twiddling our thumbs.

Trump got caught on a hot mic saying he wants to deport U.S. citizens—insinuating to El Salvador’s president he intends to send “homegrown criminals” there. Let’s be clear: He’s talking about Americans. This isn’t tough talk. It’s dictator talk. He’d burn the Constitution if it got in his way.

This is our Gestapo.

There’s been no doubt where this was headed. Trump repeatedly said he intended to send Americans to foreign prisons. Justice Sotomayor got that. The conservatives on the Court have no excuse, but they acted like they expected Trump to fall in line & obey, when all evidence was to the contrary.

Shut it ALL down!

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Everything is breathtakingly stupid

How are businesses able to plan for the future? Well, at least those that survive this incompetent and vindictive administration.

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Every single day the government is required to report on Garcia to the court. The government refuses to do anything to return Garcia to the US.

Do not normalize MAGA. Do not swim in sewage.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵What if I told you that in 1921, there was another prosperous Black community (not Tulsa) that was destroyed, but without fatalities? Oh yes, it was racially motivated. Isn't it always? (cont) www.dentoncountymagazine.com/time_machine...

It’s not the major point here. But Ezra Klein is such a lazy thinker on how NIH is not funding “innovative”research. He’s gotten sucked into the rightwing thinktank blather that we need more “high-risk high-reward” funding. But NIH already does this. 1/

Vaccines save huge numbers of lives at a ridiculously low cost. Why would we want to keep doing that?🤦🏻

And here we go.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

The Social Security Administration was very lean.Expenses for the retirement program were less than 0.4 percent of benefits. Elon's pay at Tesla was more than the full cost of administering a program with 60 million beneficiaries.

When I see people posting about the "poll tax" on voters and how this hurts married women, I chafe at how much time I wasted breaking down Project 2025. Also reminder everything they are doing now, my people have had to navigate, with the added stress of lynching threats.

US Secretary of HHS is actively endangering us.

This man is utterly unhinged.

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a tale of Katsura Otoko, an extraordinarily beautiful man believed to live on the moon. Based on a myth from China, it is said he lives in a moon palace and spends his time pruning a katsura tree. He prunes it so much that there is... #FullMoon #FolkloreSunday 1/5

Coolest Subaru I have ever seen

100%. It really is time to go there. Again.
