I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

If you’re an American and you aren’t livid about this, then you don’t ever get to say we’re a country of laws and you should never receive any protections from these laws! Also stop calling Medicare recipients the abusers of the system! 🤬 #ProudBlue

Hey Iowans, let's put someone in Congress that isn't gonna vote for cuts to Medicare and then shrug & say "Well, we're all gonna die."

Don’t Fall For Elon Inc.’s Press Campaign talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dont-... It's frustrating to see news orgs parrot the plainly false notion that Musk's actual intentions had anything to do with reducing waste, fraud, or abuse.

Absolutely this. It's one of the reasons that Carville's advice about Democrats keeping their heads down was so dumb.

I’d add this: Invite trans kids to write about what life is like for them right now, anonymously or on the record.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Over 1,000 international students had their legal status snatched by the Trump admin—no warning, no hearing, no due process. This ain’t immigration policy. It’s a power trip.

Trump’s war on immigrants heats up as he kicks out a Japanese BYU PhD student for a fishing violation!! Apparently he caught too many fish with his church group and is now being kicked out of the country. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Total failure to meet the moment by "anonymous centrist" here. If you can't stand up for the Constitution as well as calling out tariff damage then why are you even in office?

The Trump administration is disobeying SCOTUS & promising renditions of American citizens to torture prisons on foreign soil. Would be great for the press to treat this as being as important as their discovery last year that Joe Biden was old.

Why does El Salvador's far-right president Bukele have a "high-end" coffee brand -- with sketchy (at best) bean sourcing -- that is registered as a US-based LLC with a Miami address?

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

It's not discussed in all the stories. But a key feature of the revocation of student visas is that there's no notification. This has forced universities to do regular online reviews of current visas to see which have disappeared since the previous query. The lack of notification is by design.
