Federal authorities on Monday detained a permanent resident and Palestinian student activist in Vermont after he was summoned for a citizenship interview with immigration officials, according to his attorneys and the stateā€™s congressional delegation.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? šŸ˜•šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Courtā€™s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to ā€œfacilitate Abrego Garciaā€™s release from custody in El Salvador

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador presidentā€™s statements today, weā€™re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

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.

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

Exactly. Trump and Miller want to make El Salvador their Generalgouvernement, and Bukele is stepping up to be their Hans Frank.

Are we great yet?

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, itā€™s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

this photo of a charred haggadah (the book jews use at the passover seder) from governor shapiroā€™s house breaks my heart. www.thedailybeast.com/pictures-cap...

Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Firebombing a Jewish governorā€˜s house during Passover - Doing a Sieg Hitler salute - Eating dinner with neo-Nazis Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity - Using freedom of speech on campus

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Yeah donā€™t worry Cybertruck owner, the rules donā€™t apply to you and you can park your shitbox in a bus stop šŸ™„

This is getting very dangerous.

Marco Rubio has ensured his place in history for war crimes.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Pathetic.

Imagine your own congressman screwing you over just to ā€œown the libs.ā€ Speaker Johnson: Working overtime to hand more cash to billionaires and big corporations ā€” you know, the ones really struggling. Heā€™s up for reelection along with the rest of the House. Stand up. Vote him out.

Weā€™re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we canā€™t explain everythingā€”sorry! But hereā€™s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Every single ā€œinvestment expert ā€œ is emphasizing diversification to include investment in other stock markets. And that will extend to private markets and start ups. Itā€™s possible to export your smartest people, hire overseas , and fund their business at a fraction of costs you face here. Insane

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism ā€” full stop. Iā€™m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Colorado lawmakers have quietly moved to shift the stateā€™s school immunization requirements away from the recommendations of a prominent federal committee, in response to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. taking over the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Gwynne Dyer: Most people donā€™t know this, but the better armiesā€”the ones that try to keep civilian casualties at a minimumā€”can estimate in advance how many civilians will die if they carry out a particular artillery or air strike.

"This legislation guarantees that every rape victim who presents to a Mississippi emergency room will receive a rape kit examination, which is the first step to receiving this justice,ā€ Mississippi House Rep. Dana McLean, R-Columbus, said. Read more:

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?
