⚡️ New Canadian prime minister invites Zelensky to attend G7 summit in June. Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited President Volodymyr Zelensky to attend the Group of Seven (G7) summit in June, Le Journal de Quebec reported, citing a Canadian Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

To put it in clearer terms…

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

Let's start taxing businesses called "churches."

🚨BREAKING: 9th Circuit DENIES government's motion to pause federal court order requiring the rehiring of probationary civil servants who were terminated. A big win for democracy and a another defeat for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for full coverage of this and all breaking democracy news.

The Department of Justice was created in 1870 with an explicit mission to protect civil rights and enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. The DOJ went after the Klan hard, securing thousands of indictments and 600+ convictions within the first year alone. How about restoring *that* focus?

Hello Glowies!! And to the rest of you, now is really the time to be switching to end to end encrypted, OPEN SOURCE software. There is a leak that the gov't has a tool that is monitoring ALL of your social media for "possible terrorism". 🧵IIT, I am sharing the alternatives you should switch to ASAP

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This statement from AG Bondi is a disgrace. The judge did not “support” terrorists. He decided a case, based on facts and law, finding the requirements of the Alien Enemy Act lacking.

In a new analysis (note, back-of-the-envelope) @charlesjkenny.bsky.social and @justsand.bsky.social estimate that US foreign aid saves around 3.3 million lives per year. You can read more about their methodology and results here: www.cgdev.org/blog/how-man...

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt. Democracy Docket members will receive my latest on this and more in their inboxes tomorrow. Join now. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

It’s important you understand this. The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation. /1

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

I am happy today to join my many intelligent and thoughtful friends who are now on Bluesky.

“They were each other’s closest friend for a very long time.”

😂 💀 😂

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Vance got booed at the Kennedy Center -- historically, the theater isn't a great place to test your approval ratings.

Immigration is NOT an “invasion.”

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA. Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people. This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become. It's targeted harassment.

💯🎯

If you attack the Capitol to overturn election results and to overthrow democracy on behalf of a criminal, you’re a hero. If you attack a Tesla dealership, we’ll throw away the key.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers. As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

The president is selling teslas on the White House lawn, the attorney general is doing a nationwide manhunt for anyone who looks at a tesla wrong. The government is fully owned by one man

THE free speech explainer. Always worthwhile.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE! Cohen Children’s Medical Center has confirmed that it has successfully ELIMINATED sickle cell disease from Sebastien Beauzile, using the groundbreaking genetic treatment Lyfgenia. He has made HISTORY by becoming the FIRST in New York to be CURED of sickle cell anemia! 🧪🧵⬇️

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Save this for next time they tell you how censored they are

Here’s Elon cutting pediatric brain cancer research 👇🏻
