I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory. Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

Is anything more perfect than republicans being like, “we are going to ban anti semitism unless it’s from christians, then it’s ok”

The NYT has been doing phenomenal reporting on the blatant corruption of the Trump memecoin/crypto policy. Genuinely the most flagrant, bald-faced thing I’ve ever seen short of a politician getting sacks of cash.

Does anyone Trump appointed know what they're talking about?

“Love our neighbors - Welcome the stranger - Care for the most vulnerable among us - Speak the truth - Work for justice…”

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

To very loosely paraphrase W.C. Fields, The Trump administration drove me to drink and I won’t thank them. —— I think this was my first Chianti - delicious.

Great time with my friend @briantylercohen.bsky.social at the Substack New Media Party event in DC. Independent media is not just the future... it's the present!

“Lorayne Meltzer has lived along the Gulf of California for 30 years. As an ecologist and director of a binational field station, she’s supported many scientists in their research into this biodiverse region of northwestern Mexico.” news.mongabay.com/2025/04/whal...

Trump has deported a four-year-old US citizen with a rare form of metastatic cancer without medication or consultation with their doctor.

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

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

reporting on this has really got to get better about communicating the magnitude of the breach here. if you read the nyt article with minimal context, you would have no sense that this was watergate-level impeachable misconduct

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

😳 what are we doing? gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

In 2016, didn’t Marco Rubio call Trump a Con Artist? Well well, Who’s helping the Con Man now?

What goes around comes around.

My blood is boiling. This is appalling. Andry, the makeup artist deported to Trump’s foreign prison in El Salvador - without due process and under false pretenses - hasn’t been heard from in weeks. Members of Congress who went to El Salvador asked for proof that he’s alive. This is a crisis.

People Magazine: Trump's Team Ponders How to Make Women Have More Babies. One Idea Was Part of Hitler and Stalin's Playbook Ideas for parenting incentives — such as a "National Medal of Motherhood" for 6-time moms — come amid steadily declining birth rates across the U.S. By Kimberlee Speakman 😳

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

This is Outrageous.

It’s elementary. If only one side is pushing it will get a lot of its way. The only workable remedial action is to make clear to all relevant parties that there are two sides pushing. And act accordingly.

This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.

Really? Give me a break. 🤦
