Meet Cheryl- a real veteran who had her benefits pulled by Fine & Musk’s scheme to cut social security. This isn’t just a threat, it’s happening right now. Randy Fine and his friends are the reason this is happening. Stand against them April 1

The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

NEW - Staff inside CISA, the government's premier cybersecurity agency, have been left flabbergasted at the use of Signal by senior defense and intelligence officials. Some amazed no one has been fired. The Trump admin, meanwhile, is playing down the leak. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

She’s 21yrs old. She’s been here since she was 7yrs old. She’s a legal permanent resident. And Trump/Rubio are trying to deport her bcuz she participated in protests against Israel. Bcuz of her views. This is so fucking wrong. This is not who we are. This is not America.👇

Judge nails how the Trump team likely tried to evade courts: "[T]he most reasonable inference is that iot hustled people onto those planes in the hopes of evading an injunction or perhaps preventing them from requesting the habeas hearing to which the Government now acknowledges they are entitled."

Read the judge's description of El Salvador prison with this in mind: - USG admitted "many of the TdA members ... do not have criminal records"❗ - Cases of misidentification have emerged❗ - The most senior DOJ officials signed a brief saying these detainees would not suffer "irreparable harm"❗

A technologist who has long worked in information technology for the federal government, across multiple presidential administrations, is warning about a new scheme being hatched by Elon Musk, who reportedly has been integrating his Starlink satellite system through the White House data center.

In the middle of the night, Trump declared pardons by Biden are void and he’s going to ignore them :: which is all BS ::

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

The New Yorker nails it again

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.

Veterans March for America on the Mall in DC is rocking it. We’ve come in peace. We stand for democracy.

A young lady originally from Whitehorse is being detained in a detention center in Arizona. She was detained March 3rd, after her visa was denied. Facebook post from her Mom is in the pics below. It's a disturbing sequence of events. Do not travel to the US.

“My husband was kidnapped from our home, and it’s shameful that the US government continues to hold him because he stood for the rights and lives of his people.”

Republicans just snuck a provision surrendering power to revoke Trump's tariffs into a procedural vote. All Dems opposed. Every Republican who voted for this will own the economic consequences of expanding Trump's tariff powers. Statement with @repdelbene.bsky.social: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Washington Post associate editor and top political columnist Ruth Marcus is reportedly resigning following CEO Will Lewis’ decision to not run her opinion column critical of owner Jeff Bezos’ latest changes to the paper.

This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process. Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

Easier to look away. But don't. This is Russia.

Anyone who cares about the shocking resurgence of antisemitism and its relationship to the attack on democracy all over the world must read this powerful analysis of the Trump-Vance attempt to humiliate President Zelensky in the Oval Office. Tim Snyder’s analysis is devastating.
