NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

We are deporting innocent men without any due process to a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer, autism awareness, and loving their mothers.

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute. Spread it far and wide.

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what exactly Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

Maybe this can be like that woman who accidentally invited that guy to Thanksgiving and every year they can invite Jeffrey Goldberg to share top-secret bombing info again and post a cute photo to Instagram.

So let’s be very clear about this - DOGE isn’t saving America money. It is now among the costliest domestic programs in our history; and certainly the most significant wealth destroying.

What Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE team to do is not an audit. It is a coup. This an incredibly dangerous moment—and it is all the more dangerous if people don’t understand what is happening. https://youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying. pepfarimpact.vercel.app

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

If this was in South America, Asia, or Africa, how would Musk’s coup be written? Ardent belief in American exceptionalism in the press will be a major contributing factor in the death of our democracy.
