🚨UPDATE: New evidence filed by the ACLU last night shows that the Trump administration is going forward with more Alien Enemies Act deportations in seeming violation of the Supreme Court's clear command that people be provided a "meaningful" opportunity to seek judicial review.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I often mention that US law is needlessly proceduralist. This is a great example, and also undercuts my use of “needlessly”. It is very necessary to some people; the ones who prefer procedure to justice. The only place 5/9 like justice is in their job title.

Ok. I think I gotta cut down my time on this place - the world is on fire, and being continually reminded of exactly HOW on fire it is, is doing a number on my being able to actually work towards helping in whatever way I can. Much love to y'all.

As America quite literally becomes an authoritarian state with officers in plain clothes kidnapping legal visa holders on our streets and detaining them for their speech, you would think Democrats might temper their endless enthusiasm for law enforcement. You’d' be wrong.

Tomorrow on OA: the story of how ICE disappeared Matt's client, and how the worst SCOTUS decision since they made Trump a king will help disappear many more

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

The tide is changing in Montana! Today, 17 Republicans joined with democrats to defeat another anti-trans bill in the MT house. Additionally, Republicans joined democrats to kill a "forced outing" bill in House Education yesterday. That's 2/2 in defeating anti trans bills this week!

Yet another example of transphobia rooted in projected fetishization. Trans women tell study they rely on sex work for survival. Study concludes, nah, they’re all getting off on it. They published a literal fantasy. Researchers need to stop dressing up their sexual preoccupations as science.

Totally agree with this. Equally concerning are the things they are likely not to challenge. If Trump gets his $1 trillion military budget, are Dems going to cut it? If ICE gets $45 billion in funding, are Dems going to cut it? Seems highly unlikely. These things become the norm.

I have a trans student who wrote to 2 individual Canadian unis to ask if they could apply late and quickly—both said yes and they got into both. They’re headed off to graduate school in the fall and I couldn’t be prouder or more relieved for their escape from the US.

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Short thread on white supremacy as US policy: Israel just killed a US Citizen & child in the West Bank & US Govt is silent because he was Palestinian. Meanwhile they're expressing outrage that US citizens are being held hostage in Gaza. Why don't US citizens matter when the IDF kills them? 1/5

1) Power centers are inherently conservative 2) What purge? Where is the data to back this up 3) What really happened is social media let more women, Black people and other actually marginalized people to center themselves.. and that is read as rendering these folks "voiceless"

This is what the Senate and House Republicans could make come to pass through budget reconciliation; an increase in ICE's budget for detention from $3.4 billion to $45 billion. It would be enough to detain hundreds of thousands of people at a time, potentially more than in all federal prisons.

I have a lot of respect for Fain but this is a colossal mistake. Putting aside that these tariffs as proposed are going to do deep and irreparable harm to workers around the world, this is such a political error. We need discipline in vocally opposing everything the regime supports

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

Really and truly, if I could communicate anything about history it's that genuine dumbasses can be key historical agents, and that has pretty massive implications for how we make sense of the past and present both.
