‘We were lied to.’ Two women the Trump administration tried to send to El Salvador prison speak out www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

NEW: The chapters, one board member argued, were inappropriate for students because they discussed “vaccines and polio,” touched on “topics of depopulation,” had “an agenda out of the United Nations” and included “a perspective that humans are bad.” With @texastribune.org

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

BREAKNG: A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from ending "temporary protected status" for 350,000 Venezuelan nationals — which was slated to expire next week. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

SEN. BOOKER KICKS OFF LENGTHY FILIBUSTER TO PROTEST TRUMP REGIME “I rise tonight with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able…1/

Not the brand boost one would hope for.

I wish news outlets would stop credulously embracing the “fighting antisemitism.” It’s so clear that’s a red herring for a broad based assault on higher ed.

If Trump can run for a third term, so can Barrack Obama...and Obama would just be 67 years old. Great-Granddad Trump, will be 82. Be careful what you ask for...Donald. 😘

BREAKING: Appeals court rejects the Trump administration's request to immediately enforce its anti-trans military ban. The Ninth Circuit panel just denied DOJ's request for an administrative stay of last week's ruling agains the ban. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up."

DOGE demanded full access to a US Department of the Interior system that handles even the Supreme Court's paychecks. When top staff asked questions, they were put on leave.

China's military said it had begun joint army, navy and rocket force exercises around Taiwan to ‘serve as a stern warning and powerful deterrent against Taiwanese independence,’ calling Taiwan's President Lai Ching-Te a ‘parasite’ reut.rs/4j8HwtL

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary agreed to oust the agency's top vaccine official shortly after being quietly sworn in late last week.

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations. That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group. This is corruption of the highest degree.

Don't believe the voodoo accounting that MAGA is trying to foist onto the Congressional Budget Office: their tax cuts will explode the national debt. youtu.be/7LThqQut61E

The University of Michigan Black Student Union has released a statement on the dismantling of DEI at the institution. "To Santa Ono: You are a coward, and bending to the will of fascists will not save you. To the regents: We see you for the racists you are." Via: www.instagram.com/p/DH1qbq8JpvJ/

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered another 160,000 Russian citizens be called up to serve in the military, Russian news agency Interfax reported today.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was convicted of embezzlement and handed an immediate five-year ban from public office, a sentence that will bar her from running in the 2027 presidential race unless she successfully appeals beforehand reut.rs/4laaGKf

Read as **they made up their evidence and cobbled together images for the deportation**

President Musk is getting $8 million every day from government contracts while Republicans plan to cut Social Security.

Trump administration held high level meeting to explore the possibility of ICE and Customs and Border Protection joining the intelligence community, per memo @bethbourdon.bsky.social & I obtained under FOIA. For FOIA tips and tricks and to support Beth's work: www.patreon.com/c/bethbourdo...

Banning Pride flags won't erase LGBTQ people — we have always been here, and always will.

The singularity

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

The best-known member of Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.

How about “Trump Threatens to Ignore Constitution, Pursue Illegal Third Term”? That headline might be more accurate.

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so

"Do your job!" the crowd chanted, urging Victoria Spartz, one of the most outspoken DOGE supporters, to rein in Elon Musk.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

The next post I want to read about this is how students and faculty of the Naval Academy staged a walk-out.

President Musk keeps spreading conspiracy theories about us — because our movement isn’t for sale. We’re powered by the grassroots, not creepy billionaires. We’re gearing up for a nationwide day of action to demand an end to the Trump-Musk coup. Chip in to support the 1,000 events in all 50 states.

“Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul is suing Elon Musk over the Trump ally's plans to award $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters ahead of Tuesday’s pivotal state Supreme Court election.”

🚨🚨 House floor looking pretty gross and fascisty this coming week. VOTES scheduled for: -- HR 22, the Save Act -- HR 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act -- SJ Res 18, the F*ck You Consumer Act (that's what we are calling it, at least) Scripts for everything @ 5calls.org. Have at it!

Let's call it what it is. It's a "Data To Disenfranchisement" pipeline. It doesn't matter that voter rolls are handled at the state level, not federal. Cambridge Analytica showed the danger of allowing these actors to hoover up data. It's allowing microtargeted ballot purges at the state level.

Bingo

The legacy of 2025? I’m calling it. The stamp of fear-mongering. First self resignation and self deportation + tariffs and threats of territorial of occupation, deportation, imprisonment. The fear that we are all able to be subjugated.

Note that the deportation warnings come with a threat of rendition: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...

This is some TERRIFYING shit. I cannot tell people how to assess their own situation but I wish every white USC university professor and student in every university in this country would refuse to attend/teach class in solidarity. Please tag someone with influence if you agree.

Hey citizens, you feeling united yet? s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

He keeps referring to “the cards” other countries have whenever doing diplomacy. Perhaps he heard political scientists talk about “game theory” and was like, okay, just need to chose my favorite game (cards) to use. Ugh dibromacy rhetoric is dumb and zero sum— hate it.
