Born in the UK. Been a U.S. citizen for 40+ years. Mum, grandmother. Never ever thought I’d see what’s happening right now in the U.S. That’s my son in my profile pic. Voted for Obama twice. Thought we were on to better times for him! WTH happened?!

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

They hate America, the constitution, and our democracy, and want a dictatorship instead. They’re not hiding it.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

Courtesy of today’s GOP…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime

Wow, this is the first time we've heard this number. Previous reporting suggested it was $6 million. So now it's $15 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to imprison people in El Salvador without trial.

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

Breaking News: Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student activist who is a legal permanent resident, was arrested by ICE at a meeting he thought was a step to becoming a U.S. citizen. nyti.ms/4cxlwG4

Marco Rubio must resign

Potsie dropped the trophy y’all🫣

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Pleasantly surprised and proud of Harvard U!

It’s worse. Now members of the Trump administration are lying and calling him a “terrorist”. His wife needs to sue for defamation.

Think of the College Football Trophy as a metaphor for America under the Trump-Vance Regime

Harvard says it won’t accept a deal with the White House after the admin threatened to cut off $9B in federal funding: “The University will not negotiate over its independence or its constitutional rights.” t.co/MA0RQuE5as

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

Princeton, then Harvard. Courage is contagious.

AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

Lying about a citizenship interview to arrest someone isn’t clever; it’s cruel. Mohsen Mahdawi is a lawful U.S. resident. His unlawful detention is another attack on everyone’s First Amendment and due process rights.

No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubio’s say so If this doesn’t scare you Remember-they’re trying to revoke birthright citizenship So they can deport ANYONE they wish

1,700 attacks on schools, 600 children dead. 780 hospitals and clinics attacked, 13,000 civilians killed, and up to 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers dead - all for Vladimir Putin's vanity war to expand Russia to NATO's doorstep. Zelenskyy speaks with 60 Minutes.

Bear witness. Resist where you can. Be safe.

When does SCOTUS step in? Trump officials step up defiance over man wrongly deported to El Salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Medicaid has helped my family in times of need. I have stage 4 cancer and my son has cystic fibrosis. Millions of Americans are covered under Medicaid, old, young, sick and disabled. Trust me, you know someone covered under Medicaid HANDS OFF OUR MEDICAID www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Good News!!! ICYMI: You know how The Central Park Five are suing Trump for deformation? You know, bc he literally wanted them to be killed for something they never did… Well, of course he tried to get it dismissed… the judge said, NOPE! 😁 apnews.com/article/cent...

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

I’ve called for an independent investigation into whether Trump used his dumb trade war to manipulate the market and benefit his Wall Street donors. It smells like corruption. And it’d fit his pattern of helping the rich get richer while working families pay the price.

Do we even know if Abrego Garcia is still alive? 😞

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

the one silver lining to all of this is seeing this parade of dipshits get their just desserts

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

2019 is calling and saying, hey, why didn’t you listen
