Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal Someday, there must be justice.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

Beyond the obvious material harm, this is all just so damn stupid politically. The three major polls of Trump this week had him at 41%, 41%, and 43% approval. HIs support is already collapsing and the economic harm hasn't even set in yet.

Tonight is the 1st night of #Passover. We dip parsley (Karpas) in salt water to recognize the spring time. Salt water symbolizes the tears and sweat of enslavement. As we hold Seders, remember the farm workers who are out in the fields harvesting the food we’re eating. #WeFeedYou

Again, that Musk/DOGE penetrated this deep into the government this quickly is the most damning indictment of supposed American norms and guardrails imaginable. These are fuckin pirates; unelected, unappointed, unqualified marauders. A functional country would have laughed them out of the building.

I have become obsessed with this Athenian building, the "Tower of the Winds" or Horologium/Horologion. It may be the oldest permanent clock tower, the oldest weather station still in existence. Built ~50 BCE, after Rome conquered Athens, it sits adjacent to the Roman Agora. (📷: George Zumstrull)

Somebody's chastising me today for this drawing so I want to reiterate that it was Biden's commitment to genocide, NOT the opposition to the genocide, that contributed to Trump's return.

In his remarks to the court after the ruling, Khalil said there was an urgent need to address the cases of the other migrants held in the same Louisiana ICE facility. Not one person employed by DHS has even a shadow of the integrity of this man. www.cbsnews.com/news/mahmoud...

It doesn't have to be like this. We could have a city that isn't bleeding low income and middle income people of color. We could have a city where corruption isn't coin. We could have a city with funded parks, public libraries, public schools and FREE TRANSIT. All of these things are possible.
