We do not know who these deportees are, why deported, if they have criminal histories. Tattoos aren’t evidence of a crime. Trump says they’re all criminals but without due process we simply do not know. Based on Trump’s illegal deportations of others, I believe he’s lying #Voices4Victory #Fascism

"The language that is being used has a specific resonance, which, historically, has been used to change regime type. It is important that the rights of human beings were violated. It is important that the rule of law was ignored. It is important that the executive is trying to define reality."

Important, if wonky, piece on what the Dept of Ed actually does. Worth a read, but the short version is it provides funding for lower-income kids, enforces civil rights, and manages the student loan program. Ending DOE will make our public schools so much worse. open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...

The media needs to call this what it is: This is a techno-oligarchic hostile takeover of the federal machinery of the United States of America. This is not governing. It is lawless. It is not based on principles of electoral representation. This is a criminal takeover of the federal government.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz. It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”. It started with intolerance and hate speech. It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye. Remember.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Using the American Airlines/Blackhawk helicopter tragedy to trash Obama and Biden and praise himself is as malicious as it is typical of this narcissist. — Shame on all of you who voted for Trump as President. This monster and his actions will be your responsibility. Forever.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
