No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Fascists speak in emotion, not facts. I see people disputing this utter nonsense as if it’s a fact claim, and correction will counter it.

Every statement from Trump officials right now is just “Evacuate now? In our moment of triumph?”

I appreciate all of these detailed analysis of what’s wrong with the policy, but the crucial thing to keep in mind here is that Donald Trump sincerely, literally does not understand what a tariff is and when that is your starting point, nothing beyond it really matters.

Bad people don't deserve due process. Who's a bad person? Anyone the Leader says is a bad person. You don't like this policy? That sounds like something a bad person would say...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Release Rumeysa. Release Mahmoud. Release Badar. Release every single wrongfully detained person. This is fascism, pure and simple. We must stand up for them, we cannot sit idly by. If we remain silent, we are complicit. #politicalrevolution #releaserumeysa #releasemahmoud #releasebadar

@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, and I draw on our research through the Crowd Counting Consortium to show that there is far more protest happening in the US than is commonly understood, and that the shift to economic noncooperation shows powerful potential for future collective action.
