The Trump administration wanted to control the most basic aspects of the university, including what is taught and who is hired. The wanted to turn Harvard into a fancy version of Trump University. And when Harvard said no, Trump used publicly funded research as a hostage.

Contrast how Trump treated this dictator vs how he treated a freedom fighter Zelenskyy.

Martin O'Malley just mentioned state attorneys general filing state kidnapping charges. Just imagine the collective cheer in this country if state troopers pulled over, arrested and cuffed a van full of masked ICE fascists.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

Harvard rejects Trump's demand to change its policies or lose up to $9 billion in federal funding. It's about damn time. Harvard is a rich school with a $53 billion endowment. If America's most powerful institutions won't use their resources to stand up against tyranny, then who will?

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

There will be no restoration of a constitutional republic until he is not only removed from power but repudiated as having never legitimately held it. The system simply can't fit back together again without that. You can't shatter the foundation to this degree and then try to rebuild on top of it.

The entire presser, INCLUDING Bukele's video, was staged defiance. It shows that Trump is not facilitating Abrego Garcia's return--SCOTUS' order. It was staged to precede the status hearing tomorrow. It was also staged to present the claim of terrorism in unquestioned fashion for media to parrot.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

We are at a dangerous, dangerous moment in US history, where the President of the United States is threatening to send US citizens to be imprisoned by a foreign ally, and the foreign ally is saying it won't respect an US court orders to release people that it's holding.

When a government asserts the power to ship you to a foreign prison, with no hope of review or release—what exactly are your obligations to that government?

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

The most revolting Oval Office presser since Feb. 28 (the Zelensky one). Even just hitting a few of the lowlights of this will leave you sickened and dismayed. BUT it's also clarifying. Anyone who has been talking about "the road to authoritarianism" can stop that now. The road is behind us.

We are beyond a constitutional crisis at this point. Roberts #SCOTUS needs to clearly spell out how the Trump regime must put on a full court press to bring back Garcia. Otherwise, we are looking at a constitutional collapse in the United States.

Here’s another illustration. The connection between - the rise of mass shootings and - Republicans giddily cheering on the 2004 expiration of President Clinton’s Assault Weapons Ban.. ..couldn’t be more obvious. American mass shootings will only increase as Project 2025 proceeds. Dark days ahead. 🇺🇸
