Alcatraz isn’t going to reopen and there isn’t going to be a 100% tariff on “foreign made movies.” Notice, though, how by saying some new batshit crazy things that President Trump has shifted media headlines away from whether or not he believes in Constitutionally-guaranteed rights to due process.

Coverage of the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia has gravitated towards his biography and what he’s done and alleged to have done during his life. All of that is irrelevant to the current situation. The only seven words that matter right now are: • “Checks and balances” • “Court orders” • “Due process”

You know the only reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

We're just disappearing people into a black site slave labor camp because they look a certain way and speak Spanish. That's what people around the world will think of when they think about America and Americans.

Jackie’s name was big enough to be restored. The many others who were removed, with the same justification, will not get the same attention. And that’s the problem.

This is really cool. It helps you find games based on your accessibility needs or preferences. For instance, I prefer single-player games that allow me to resize subtitles. I tested it to see if it would find games I already play and love, and it's done a fairly decent job. #VideoGamesAccessibility

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.

The way to build hope is by creating norms for empathy, belonging and safety. Sometimes that means speaking up bc you don’t get to say that you are empathetic by tolerating toxicity.

President Trump is simultaneously increasing consumer prices by imposing tariffs and increasing unemployment by canceling Federal contracts and laying off workers. We’re headed straight for painful stagflation.

It bears repeated mention that SpaceX’s revenue is largely Federal contracts and that Tesla’s most profitable revenue stream isn’t vehicles; it’s selling carbon credits which were created by statute. Elon Musk’s hostility towards government seems incongruous with key sources of his vast fortune.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.
