Still masking in 2025? Absolutely. Because unlike “good vibes,” N95s actually filter viruses. A quick 🧵 on why I haven’t retired my mask (and neither should you)

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

It’s good that you have some power to actually DO something about it. If YOU don’t normalize it, WE won’t normalize it.

I am not important enough to be part of the first group of US citizens arrested and be sent to El Salvador. Perhaps in the fifth or tenth wave of arrests. After I have lost my citizenship for being propalestinian.

They are Nazis. Everyone who for them voted for Nazis. Never let them forget it. You can choose to not let them in your lives. You cannot "both sides" this.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

Note that the TRO in Mohsen Mahdawi's case — ordering him from not being deported and to be kept in Vermont for now — was issued by Judge William Sessions, the same judge who spent the morning hearing arguments in Rumeysa Ozturk's case. TRO: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you hear about a citizen of another nation being kidnapped without due process and held hostage in a foreign prison and think, “I’m an American citizen, this is not my problem,” you are missing the reality of what these fascists intend.

Trump compared himself to Jesus. SNL mocked it. Now Rep. Tim Burchett says the cast is going to hell. This isn’t about faith—it’s about power. And they’re trying to scare people into silence with it.

To repeat myself: Maybe Trump is immune from prosecution but no one else in his administration is. It’s time to start holding administration officials in contempt when they defy court orders. Judges could engender compliance by holding the toadies accountable. Make their loyalty hurt.

You sure can tell that Harvard's growing a spine has had an impact. Stefanik has popped out of her gopher hole to say "Higher ed is bad." Boo hoo, Elise. I support higher ed. I feel it's very important that higher ed stays independent of the goddamn White Hoise goons.

You'd think there was nothing happening in Sudan by the way the mainstream media is ignoring it, as an IDP camp in N. Darfur is being brutally attacked by the RSF. Consider donating to the Darfur Women's Action Group doing incredible work for the last 15+ years. www.darfurwomenaction.org

THIS is un-American— and illegal. There’s no reason to believe these folks would be afforded due process before being deported to El Salvador anymore than undocumented immigrants have been. 📌 Trump just proposed deporting US citizens, who have been convicted of certain crimes.

Please share this. It's a gift link so no paywall. Her case is not getting the attention it should for all the wrong reasons. Trump is literally using our law enforcement to help Putin persecute Russians who oppose his war right here in the United States www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...
