This is how much the Trump administration loves its American citizens. This is what they call a pro-American immigration policy. Trump loves us enough to chain us down, put our fiances in prison, and ban them from America.

Also big shoutout to all the cis women who kept quiet about the human rights violations their colleagues were enduring because they didn't think it was relevant to them. Congrats! Now you're all getting sex tested. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

Israeli forces have killed Palestinian journalists Mohammed Mansour and Hossam Shabat in Gaza. In 2024, Palestinians accounted for nearly 2/3rds of all journalists killed worldwide, some of them deliberately killed by Israeli forces, per the Committee to Protect Journalists. This is no accident.

In addition to this being a wholly disingenuous answer, it a good reminder not to ask multifarious questions at press conferences. When you ask a Republican politician a multi-part question, they will in all likelihood only answer the one part they want to address.

this is adjacent to the point Erin is making but i have always believed that one major reason the war on drugs exists is that a lot of powerful people don't want the rest of us to realize that anything can be a drug

"Identical bills in Texas would make it a crime for librarians and teachers to provide books or learning materials that contain sexually explicit content, punishable by up to 10 years behind bars." And it's not even "sexually explicit" — they want to criminalize any mention of sex or sexuality.

THREAD The latest EO against [one of my very favorite clients] Jenner & Block is just another wake up call that this administration is not going to stop their endless bullying of law firms based on personal vendettas.

There's something fundamentally different about growing up evangelical vs converting to it as a teen or adult. Much of that difference involves fear, violence, and trauma. I'm so grateful to @swordsjew.bsky.social for her new book Wild Faith, which gets these stories out to a wider audience.

Christian nationalists Joel Webbon & Wesley Todd urge the government to literally seize the property of "wicked" and "apostate" churches and redistribute it "faithful" ones: "You're out on the street instead of jail or the guillotine. That is the moderate position." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Alright let’s do the damn thing 🧵 Background: This event was presented as a public town hall and then non-registered Republicans were barred from entry. Republicans involved claim in was a private event, but this was the flier for it.

The way NBC has framed this doesn’t quite convey what Johnson is threatening. The idea is not nuking the federal judicial branch en masse, but rather having Congress use its laser eyes to selectively destroy a district court or two for making a ruling the GOP doesn’t like so as to overawe the rest.

Every recent Trump admin story can be explained with malicious laziness. Why use an unsecured group chat for war plans? It’s easier. Why deport innocent people? It’s quicker. Why solve waste by firing everyone rather than using forensic accountants? It takes less thinking. All malicious laziness.

Had missed this story in the Miami Herald about a man that already been granted refugee status being removed under the Alien Enemies Act declaration to CECOT. The other identified removals I'd heard of were undocumented or asylum seekers, first I'm hearing of approved refugees being targeted

This is what it looks like when we keep expanding the web of criminalization, and we pour all of our resources into policing instead of actually addressing people's needs. And yes, "we" includes both leaders and members of both political parties.

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide
