Really did not anticipate the degree to which DOGE would be turned into a mechanism to surveil and punish immigrants. The team includes the DOGEr who resigned after making racist comments.

Harvard presents the first major hurdle in the 🍊🍕💩's attempt to force change at universities that the GQP say have become hotbeds of liberalism and antisemitism. A part of that is targeting research funding which has fueled scientific breakthroughs, but has become an easy source of leverage for him

Morning Bluesky. A draft Executive Order seen by the NYT suggests the US is about to abandon Africa, which would be a big win for Russia and China. The drastic overhaul of the State Department would eliminate almost all African operations and close embassies and consulates.

I sympathize with feeling fear to do your job but I feel strongly the remedy is to quit your job, not to stop doing it, especially when people rely on you to do your job.

Explain to me why encroaching on the second amendment is not allowed even when children’s lives are at stake but the first amendment is easily eroded when someone simply disagrees with our President.

Another 4+ runs in 5 innings for the Os Morton. If this were an EPL match, the opposing fans would have chanted “you’re getting DFA’d in the morning” during the pitching change. Hitting/approach needs to improve too.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Someone’s going to jail. Hard for me to see that there won’t be at least one who perjures themself or submits false information. That, or someone quits to avoid being on record.. and not sure that pig will fly.

The administration is looking for “nuclear verification” in a deal with Iran, meaning that they apparently won’t be trying to get Iran to stop enriching uranium completely. You know, kinda like we had in the JCPOA that Trump pulled out of in his first term. Absolute clown show.

There's always been reason to believe DOGE was hacking govt systems. Now a whistleblower has substantiated it at NLRB, precisely the kind of data compromise labor unions worried about when they sued re DOL.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Yup. They'll send a legitimately awful US citizen to CECOT, and anyone who criticizes it will be accused of supporting the awful person... and then they'll send someone slightly less awful. Eventually, they'll have established that they can send anyone.

This should concern Congress. But, I’m not sure the MAGA party will bat an eye unless or until one of their own gets swept up in a deportation-detention action.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

A bill moving through the Florida legislature would mandate that the names of officers who kill or maim civilians could not be disclosed for a minimum of 72 hours following an incident -- and would empower the police department in charge to extend the confidentiality period indefinitely. /1

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development
