“In Russia, dissent can cost critics their business licences, liberty and even their lives. It seems a matter of time before other less besieged western legal systems hear petitions by US citizens for asylum.”

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

The President just used the Oval Office to talk about his desire to send U.S. citizens to a prison hellscape in El Salvador. That’s not law and order—that’s unhinged. It’s not strength. It’s fucking sick. Republicans in Congress could stop this, but they won’t.

And wait until we see, on the other side of the ledger, higher borrowing costs (from decreased demand for Treasury securities) and decreased revenues (from laxer tax enforcement if not also tax cuts).

THIS IS A MUST READ explaining the real purpose behind the tarrifs by Senator Chris Murphy. It is very sinister. "They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool" Read the photo or click link to original post. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

Rendition. Please look up what this word means. A US citizen was ACCIDENTIALLY renditioned to El Salvador. He is gone forever. No due process. He leaves behind a 5 year old. The Vice President of the United States is calling this person a gang member with 0 evidence. WAKE THE FUCK UP

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes. They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured. Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u... Texas is home to the third-most federal workers in the country—and now Trump wants to gut their union protections, along with those of hundreds of thousands more. Absolutely not. I stand with our workers and their right to organize.
