I had to tell a naturalized citizen that this administration is deporting naturalized citizens. Had to pull it up on my phone to prove it. Anyway, liberal democracy cannot survive this amount of media fragmentation. In the end, a stupid app will have broken y’all’s grand experiment.

I just met with a client today and told him the same thing. I explained that six months ago, we wouldn't have thought that green card holders or kids on student visas would be deported but we are way past that. And, naturalized citizens are at risk (so are non White people who were born here).

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

I’ve seen this reposted into my feed a few times, and it’s fake. The reason I highlight it is to point out that everyone should be able to tell on sight that it’s wrong— there’s no story link, the poster has gone to some lengths to obscure the source of the false headline (ifunny.co I think), etc.

They have already announced plans to weaponize the IRS. Not paying your taxes will get you nowhere except a big tax bill that will never go away and continue to grow. If you’re ever owed a tax refund, they’ll keep it. They can put a lien on property and garnish bank accounts and wages.

trump is engaged in an open war against women who report domestic violence and assault and the media just don't consider it newsworthy. non profits that work on this are getting defunded left and right. the final nail in the coffin will be defunding legal services corp.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

The simple truth is that if it wasn't for Jesse's dishonest fear mongering about youth trans health care, we probably don't have fascism ascendent in the US today. The people who benefitted from the trans panic are the very ones now in power.

I always knew conceptually how my family was sent to their death in the Holocaust by friends and countrymen capitulating. But watching it happen in real time so quickly, so easily, with twisted justification and hand waving is putting a whole new spin on understanding the horror they must have felt.

I certainly have not been a fan of Jeffries but think this is pretty much the right messaging, some Dems are getting too cute by being tariff-curious (Whitmer) or invoking massive conspiracies (Murphy) but the basic message should just be simple and repetitive

I'm sure other people have noted this but DOJ will fight the return of Juan Garcia Abrego every step of the way, maybe even up to disobeying court orders, because once they show they can get ONE person out that was sent to the gulag in error, they will have to do it for many others
