"Men incarcerated at Red Onion State Prison in Wise County allege power to the outlets in their cells was cut off because they refused to sign a document they say falsely claims they have adequate mental health care access."

Abu Ghraib, Israeli soldiers in Gaza…maybe they can’t/won’t call out the evil behavior of fascists because they’re sympathetic to fascism.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Time for another digital security PSA with guitar … here’s “All the Small Things” but it’s about scrubbing metadata from your photos before you post them 🤘

So many people are going to die needlessly because of this administration.

You guys Elon Musk appointed the head of the IRS and President Trump didn’t even know about it.

Maybe protesting is actually more important to a free society than people thought. Too bad so many people have been told for decades that it’s ineffective rabble rousing.

Less than a year ago Brooks was going all in on the “elite overproduction” thesis and now he’s saying that we need a mass coordinated strike of elites?

Seriously. We’re not making it to midterm elections unless people are willing to take to the streets in massive numbers & engage in civil disobedience, & there is resistance from within the government. Pilots not willing to fly detainees. CBP/ICE can’t find anyone/speak out. Etc.

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

hey look a good headline about Tennessee! (Hilary is absolutely right, btw, flood every front page with as many of these stories as you can)

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

We already know of over 1,000 student visa terminations. The true number is likely significantly higher. Very few have anything to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The overwhelming majority seem to be the result of automated terminations for any contact with law enforcement, no matter how minor.

Important.

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.

Are you struggling with what to do next? Does a General Strike seem out of reach? We get it. We've protested, but we need the next step. Here's how we get there. We're building infrastructure for mutual aid, a huge component of our ability to stay on strike.

State-sponsored human smuggling to combat human smuggling

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?

lord willing we will one day prosecute miller for crimes against humanity

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Btw I'm going to repost this every f'king day for the rest of my life Palestine exposes everything that is wrong with the 'world order' The self-serving hypocrisy of US imperialism The zealous hypocrisy of a country that uses its religion as an excuse to racially oppress their fellow human beings

The states are an agent of the federal government? 🤔

The Republican judge who ran for North Carolina's supreme court lost by 734 votes So he started trying to nullify the votes of over 60,000 people And other Republican judges are helping him do it ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Republicans in Congress are eyeing cuts to Medicaid. But what does Medicaid actually do? michiganadvance.com/2025/04/08/r...

Brandi Carlile, just splitting hearts wide open with this new song. Think I should call my mom. youtu.be/W0J3HHAsljM?...

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

I am obsessed with the penguin Gadsden flag

A little clip from near the end of the Hands Off March in NYC (from Bryant Park to Madison Square Park) - 42nd to 26th Street

Hope you’re attending your local demonstrations or looking for ways you can offer support from home to an organization that is doing work to protect vulnerable communities, resist fascists and collaborating with those that are building a more just, peaceful and equitable world.

Everyone keeps saying "what can we do" and a big shout out to the team of Some More News who just released a massive collection of things from how to organize tenant unions to destroy Tesla from the inside. If you need a pick me up in a dark time this is fantastic www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed-r...

That this even needs to be done…

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position
