BREAKING: Judge says Mahmoud Khalil cannot be detained or deported based on Rubio’s determination. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NIH scientists go public to denounce Trump’s deep cuts in health research. Scores of National Institutes of Health researchers and staffers sign letter criticizing agency policies: ‘We dissent.’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Be forewarned that “most entertaining” to a malignant narcissist is most deceptive, manipulative, petty, juvenile, depraved, destructive, subversive, exploitative, criminal, violent and sadistic.

ICE agents waited outside a Phoenix labor and delivery room and as soon as a woman gave birth, took her from her newborn www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjgrwFsd/

"One NATO official, when asked for a reaction to the plan, replied, 'Did Putin write this for him?'...” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

“The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children after the government **posted their home address** to social media.” 4/23/25 newrepublic.com/post/194289/...

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

Roger Parloff on the "evidence" that Abrego Garcia is a gang member: "It's double hearsay stemming from a document written by somebody indicted for misconduct."

Boasberg has found that probable cause exists to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for violation of his order regarding using the Alien Enemies Act to deport people suspected of being Venezuelan gang members. I have no idea what happens next. www.npr.org/2025/04/16/g...

Sound familiar? Because you witnessed it all in the last six days.

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

“He tried to kill his own Vice President. Do you think he cares about you?” -Barack Obama

“There is a widespread belief that government power will be used to punish critics. And there is skepticism that the laws restraining such abuses of power, including the Constitution, will be enforced.”

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

This is the dumbest White House in the history of this country

And one person could have stopped this. His name is Sen. Bill Cassidy. A medical doctor.

#ProudBlue #MomSky “In 71 days, [President Trump] has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety, financial stability, the core foundations of our democracy, and even our aspirations as a people for, from our highest offices, a sense of common decency.” - Cory Booker Hero Booker!

Please share this. Lives are at stake — a LOT of lives. The elimination of vast swaths of Health and Human Services positions and research will kill people. And the regime know it. Make sure everyone knows what they’re doing.

I will always keep speaking out. And I speak out for no other reason than I love my country with all my heart. Note: All of the messages I’m posting here are just a sample of the literally 1000s I’ve received from around the world and I’m only including those I’ve received publicly.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked. The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...

These “authorities” at first approach her unmasked and then, I think, cover their faces when they realize they’re being observed or filmed.

I’m sorry, but underlying national security crisis aside, that’s a LOT of typos and grammatical errors for an official response from the White House. Leavitt should be embarrassed for herself.

@ossoff.bsky.social: "My first reaction... was 'what absolute clowns.' Total amateur hour... And this is what happens when you have basically Fox News personalities cosplaying as government officials."

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

“The National Park Service just reported the highest visitation in its history, as the administration conducts massive firings and threatens to close visitor centers and public safety facilities." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/c...

JD Vance is a dumbass. The bottom of the barrel.

Activists plan nationwide #protests against Trump agenda for International #WomensDay The mobilization effort encourages people to “create the networks we’ll need to resist #fascism and the takeover of our freedoms.” www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing. Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent. You all read Martin Niemöller's poem “First They Came.” So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

black student enrollment at the university of virginia barely cracks 7 percent and that is too much for glenn youngkin and his toadies www.baconsrebellion.com/uva-board-di...

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

lol, from UK satirical magazine Private Eye

Ironically, Trump's attempt to humiliate Zelensky may have woken a sleeping giant in Europe. The unity and love that they are showing are undeniable. 🇺🇦

Surprisingly (🙄), Senator Rick Scott’s staff refused to hear from Floridians about how their illegal firing by DOGE will harm Florida — then they kicked us out of his office. Slick Rick is clear on one issue. He doesn’t care about his constituents. #DCFL

Last week, Republicans voted to gut Medicaid and take away healthcare from 8-year-old kids like William. Don’t let them lie to you. This is what they voted for. But we still have a chance to stop it.

“If we lose all of our funding, our academic support staff — who are disproportionately women and people of color — lose their jobs,” said Nicole Holliday, a UC Berkeley linguistics professor who will speak at the rally. “So do our janitors.” #StandUpforScience2025 sfstandard.com/2025/03/07/b...

We need way more of this, please!🔥 Rep. Crockett (D-TX) during the “sanctuary cities” House hearings: “Has any of you been made aware of any immigrant that has had 34 felony convictions and is still able to roam in your cities?” It never goes well for the MAGAs when Jasmine is in the room.

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

He stood alone with courage in the face of tyranny.

This is the literal dismantling of your national government
