The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

Not to detract in any way from the appalling situation occurring now, but the San Vicente camp has been around for a number of years. Here’s a photo of Mayorkas in Panama in 2022 looking at a model of it after getting a tour. It’s the main processing station after migrants leave the Darién Gap.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

When a non disabled person gets hurt or seriously ill, they don’t hesitate to go to hospital They have faith they’ll be treated quickly, feel “better” & get to go home When you’re disabled, you learn to avoid hospital at all costs. Your faith in healthcare vanishes & that loss is painful:

The Trump administration is disappearing people to a prison in a foreign country and lying to their family and lawyers about their location.

Thanks to the federal workers who have reached out; you’ve helped me understand some amount of what’s going on, in addition to providing me with important reportable material. If something is going on that the public needs to know about, reach out. My email and Signal are in my bio.

The power of the purse is the fundamental basis of representative legislative bodies in the English-speaking world since time immemorial. It's not some incidental thing or boring bureaucratic technicality. The power to make laws flows from it. Usurping it is dissolving Congress in all but name.

Remember that time Trump designated Seattle an "anarchist jurisdiction," but it was really only 5 square blocks? I think it's time this city actually becomes an anarchist jurisdiction. When we stand up for immigrants, trans people, & abortion care, we'll only have each other. Mutual aid or bust!

"With all its defects, delays and inconveniences, men have discovered no technique for long preserving free government except that the Executive be under the law, and that the law be made by parliamentary deliberations." A re-read of Justice Jackson in Youngstown never fails to reward.

❗#USAID Temporary Restraining Order issued: "All USAID employees currently on administrative leave shall be reinstated until [Feb 14] ... no additional employees shall be placed on administrative leave before that date. No USAID employees shall be evacuated from their host countries"

We told you it was about whiteness. If it was clear enough before, it’s clear now. Trump paused the refugee program, but when it comes back online, it will focus on resettling white South Africans (Afrikaners) who are “victims of racial discrimination.” (Camilo/CBS) America has gone off the rails.

Any attorneys representing the folks who have been shipped off to Guantanamo? I'm assuming all of them must already have final orders of removal?

Does anyone know how the pi hearing went this morning before WDWa regarding the birthright citizenship EO? I turned on the live stream at 10:20 but it was already over.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Absolutely. The degree to which congressional Dems should break the norms they've respected in the past ought to be proportional to the threat posed by what the administration is now doing, and that threat is unlike anything we've ever seen.

Every lawyer who signs their name to a brief or pleading arguing the president can cancel birthright citizenship by executive order should be disbarred. I'm dead serious.

Shame. Unbelievable and yet sadly completely believable.

Seattle folks: there is a massive fundraiser this weekend supporting immigrant rights nonprofits. Lots of local restaurants and businesses are donating a portion of their profits. Eat good food, help a good cause: bit.ly/m/seattlefun...

Yes yes yes! More of this please! @murray.senate.gov Cantwell too but she's still on that other site for some reason.

Obviously this is abhorrent. But I'd just like to point out that this is the proper way to terminate an administrative agency. Compare this to the Trump admin take over and deletion of #USAID over the weekend which is wholly unlawful.

I just placed calls to @murray.senate.gov and Maria Cantwell. Many of the voicemail boxes are full or the numbers are not even accepting calls. However I was able to get through by calling some of the Eastern Washington offices. /1

Paging @murray.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov hello could you please do your jobs? Follow the lead of @andykimnj.bsky.social and get to work as an actual opposition party to investigate the unconditional deletion of #USAID?

Anyone seen our Congressional reps and Senators? I am beyond livid that there appears to be not a single member of Congress that is taking an active role in investigating the takeover of #USAID, a Congressionally-mandated agency. /1
