I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

a great way to riposte allegations of being a coastal elite might be to actually name the cities in Utah and Idaho these rallies took place in rather than just stick the names of a couple red states on a poster full of blue cities

I don’t really give a shit about the aesthetics of protesting, I’m just glad people are pissed off

The white men fantasizing about the return of American manufacturing don’t actually think they or their kids will be working in the factories. This is their American individual idealism at work: they believe there will always be someone else working hard for their benefit

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Okay now Sens. Cory Booker and Chris Coons (a Yale Divinity School grad) are literally just having a lengthy discussion of scripture and the Bible on the Senate floor right now. Religious left: still a thing.

American History: Kills/removes Native Americans, enslaves Africans and relegates them to legal 2nd class citizens until 1965, rounds up & jails Japanese Americans, regularly anti-Jewish, etc etc White Americans: OMG FASCISM HAS COME TO AMERICA! NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE!

If you watch the raw footage of the Kristi Noem event, the guards chose men with a lot of tattoos, made them move to the front of the cell, and then stripped them down to nothing but shorts so they would be degraded. The dehumanization is the point. Fascism is here.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
