So excited to go back to this! Thanks Trump!

"If you can purchase US citizenship for $5 million, the “illegals” are only guilty of being poor." -Feminist News

I've read many, many habeas petitions from people alleging wrongful convictions. It's striking to compare how courts toss those cases for the slightest mistakes to how this administration's transparently bad faith actors get to file late, lie, come unprepared, and other general fuckedupedry.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

i think it's great that this blubbering dilettante is responsible for maintaining the nation's most critical transportation infrastructure

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Communities are organizing ICE patrols using radios and megaphones—but what we really need is an ICE alert website where people can share details of ICE activity in real time to help protect and inform one another.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Are we great yet?

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

"A lifetime bitch" is an amazing insult.

We are on Russias side. The orange fatty is straight traitor

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

"Do you know one thing I never did to cope or in response to my autism? Repeatedly fire off a Nazi Roman salute." An incredible piece from The Big Picture that doesn’t hold back.

I'm 100% in favor of everyone calling CECOT a concentration camp after today. The AP can do so since Trump didn't let them cover today's presser, in seeming defiance of Trevor McFadden.

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

Does Brian Kilmeade realize a kid born in 2012 won't remember the Obama administration?

False positives are built into the whole massive deportation endeavor. That's the fastest way to get to "massive"

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Emily Ratajkowski criticizes the Blue Origin space launch in new video: “You are going up in a space ship that is built and paid for by a company that is single-handedly destroying the planet.”

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -Emma Lazarus, excerpt from “The New Colossus” We stand stronger together. 🫶

It's Jim Crow. And that's why Black folks have been telling you "this isn't who we are!" is a bold faced lie. This is exactly who this country has been to everyone at some point EXCEPT straight white men. The ONLY group to never have to fight for their rights is now "fighting back" against equality.

The entire presser, INCLUDING Bukele's video, was staged defiance. It shows that Trump is not facilitating Abrego Garcia's return--SCOTUS' order. It was staged to precede the status hearing tomorrow. It was also staged to present the claim of terrorism in unquestioned fashion for media to parrot.

🧵 We must learn from history—or risk repeating it. During 1989–91, the U.S. experienced over 55,000 measles cases and around 120 child deaths—mostly among unvaccinated, uninsured preschoolers. This led to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which provides free vaccines to eligible kids.

He thinks deporting innocent people he doesn’t like is funny. Could be anyone.

I will not roll over to these monsters.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’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.

Speaking of miners, we noticed the secretary pushing some interesting messaging. Laid off feds, have you considered a career in the mines?? This is getting absolutely dragged in the comments (even on X).

“How can I return an innocent man to the United States when I don’t have the ability to feel empathy or compassion?” said Nayib Bukele theonion.com/salvado...

There we go. Support this man.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Tax breaks for billionaires: Republicans will work around the clock to make it happen. Reversing Trump's devastating tariffs that are raising costs for families & small businesses: Republicans do nothing. Their priorities are crystal clear.

Trump made a bunch of terror in today's Bukele event, which distracted from much else. He also tried to reset legal case w/Abrego Garcia. Here's what I think he tried to do. Why does that matter? Bc there's still a legal & political fight to fight RIGHT NOW. www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/14/w...

DOGE abruptly cut a program called Charting My Path for Future Success—a research-based effort that helped teens with disabilities transition from high school into college, work, and independent living. Now it’s gone without explanation.

"The best time to impeach the president of the United States was January 20. The second best time is now." —ancient Chinese proverb

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

i support any action that leads to the people in this video being put in front of an international criminal tribunal
