There will be lots of people who have previously been complicit who will find some courage, realize a line has been crossed, want to act. It’s gonna piss me off to welcome them but we’re gonna have to do it.

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

For the people wondering "is it bad enough to panic?" Yes. The answer is yes. Now is the time to find out what you would have done if you lived in early-1930s Germany.

probably everybody instinctively gets this, but if they bring Garcia home, he can publicly speak to what's happening in the gulags. they can't allow that.

U.S. human rights law likely violated in $6M payment for El Salvador prison, experts say missouriindependent.com/2025/04/14/r...

Stop pretending we aren’t here. Stop pretending the Republicans in Congress aren’t willing participants.

They are looking for fertile ground. It's our job to deny them.

What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The job of the Secretary of State is not to "personally identify" people to deport. It's a feature not a bug, of course, but Marco Rubio is not fulfilling his duties as the nation's top diplomat and is instead undermining the rule of law and making Americans less safe.

For the love of fucking god we have to respond individually and en masse, please.

Congratulations to John Roberts for enabling *two* heads of state to mock you openly.

He was 32 and fought over 100 times in his career. “Former NHLer Chris Simon had ‘severe’ CTE when he died”

I don't use "impeachment" lightly. Aside from Trump, Marco Rubio **PIPED UP** to endorse flouting a court order, and said the only person who can make foreign policy is the president, which is incorrect in more ways than he can count. High crimes, dereliction of duty, constitutionally illiterate.

It seems like Roberts was trying to avert a Rubicon moment by delivering the only legally possible conclusion in the Abrego Garcia case in a sort of soft-pedaled way that allowed Trump to save face & claim a partial win while “graciously” complying. That has obviously backfired.

Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...

More serious point abt today's White House event. Bukele is actively and publicly conspiring to violate American domestic law and orders of American courts. Trump won't be in power forever. The next Democratic administration won't be like the last one.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

It’s fascism. Declared, overt, explicit. Every congressperson that doesn’t respond forcefully is enabling or collaborating at this point.

Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

This whole thread is really important. Please read it. The story isn’t over yet.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

This is the behavior of a despot.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Bukele will turn this into a profitable business model - the Bitcoin Gulag - and it doesn't seem exaggerated to say that inmates are going to have similar access to legal services as those in the Soviet ones

1) The presser with Bukele with theater designed to get credulous journos to repeat the "terrorism" claim w/o question. Remember: THESE VERY SAME PEOPLE freed adjudged Jan6 terrorists on Day One. 2) The WAY in which they flouted courts provides more surface area (bc this was not classified).

If you take toxic levels of Vitamin A to "treat" a vaccine-preventable disease for which you chose not to get immunized, should society pay for your health care?

I feel like “President of the United States suggests he would deport American citizens to prisons in El Salvador” should be fairly big news

Trump is using your taxpayer dollars to pay his J6 brownshirts.

For the mathematically handicapped

is it legal to be this cool at 12

I've stupidly never been, but if you're ever in Bryan, Texas, the Brazos Valley African American Museum is supposed to be really great

Charoset, a paste made of ground apples, is found on the Passover seder plate to remind us of the mortar used by the Israelites when they were slaves in Egypt. Let's remember farm workers who do the hard work so we have apples on our tables. #WeFeedYou

enjoying the Chinese factories that make all the expensive American bullshit posting what it costs on TikTok and telling people to buy direct let's see how the running dogs like *actual* free market competition lol

Good comparison

There was a more immediate all hands response to a guy turning himself in outside Kavanaugh’s house than to someone trying to kill Gov Shapiro’s whole family.

This is a major theme across this administration's initiatives. They demand control over what counts as the truth. They're determined to suppress any research or analysis -- however evidence-based and expertise-driven -- that might call their narratives into question.

40%-60% of the 775,000 unhoused people in America are employed. We are a nation of the working poor. The working desperate.

Here we go. Just making stuff up and then banning data that refutes the made up stuff.

And they don’t want to pay someone else a livable wage to work in a factory.
