plenty of cultures value children, but the US is unique in valuing the idea of children while enabling violence against actual kids and keeping them in privation at every turn

“The administration is not anti-woke; it is woke with right-wing characteristics.” This is like arguing that segregation is just desegregation with right-wing characteristics, since they both involve government regulation of the racial composition of institutions.

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

one of the DOGE kiddies had a backdoor program for exfiltrating senstive government records publicly posted on his github page this is the sort of federal crime that normally lands people in prison for decades. when we get to clean up this mess we need to be prosecuting these crimes with vengeance

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

I was just thinking about how for the GOP, a regulation requiring employers to cover contraception in their employee health care plans was a crisis for rights and freedom requiring massive litigation, but holding innocent men in a Salvadoran concentration camp during Holy Week is The MAGA Way.

The New York Times has obtained the autopsies of the Palestinian medics massacred by the Israeli occupation army. They show that some were shot point blank in the skull.

This also drives me crazy about the US higher ed sector. Foreign students bring $40b a year into the us from their home countries — compare that to $25b in grain exports or $20b in iron and steel.

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us all safe and healthy

The baby has finally outgrown my smallest muddybuddy, so was looking for a picture of one of the kids in it to show a friend to see if they wanted it. Found this pic down memory lane. This kid is now a very independent kindergartener.

Every chance you get, say “fuck you” to authoritarian demands. One of the regime’s tools is making people believe resistance is futile—that acquiescence is the only option. But especially for those with power and privilege, the most basic, necessary act is to say: FUCK YOU.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

Can't stop thinking about how Marco "99-0" Rubio signed a document submitted to the court that claimed he can deport anyone for their "past, current or EXPECTED beliefs"

They are openly mocking the rule of law at this point and flouting orders from the federal courts. In today's debacle at the White House, Trump also endorsed the idea of using these El Salvadorean prisons house US citizens. If you've been to take action until a crisis hits, that crisis is here.

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.

In addition to all the other ways this is wrong it’s also a clearly impeachable offense. This is the type of tyranny the Bill of Rights was written to prevent and it’s an attempt to blankly negate judicial authority.

Trump’s DOJ is arguing that they have the unfettered right to disappear people based on an administrative error, with no obligation to try and make that person’s return happen. A horror movie. And only the SCOTUS can stop it. Will they? I don’t think so. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
