This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Another attorney (US citizen) detained at the border and forced to allow agents to go through the emails on his phone despite the attorney client communications protecting such communications. This is fascism. This is authoritarianism. No one is safe. www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)

Today, the government detained another student for their speech. Mohsen Mahdawi's attorneys have already filed a petition for his release and a Vermont judge ordered he not be moved out of state. As his fight continues, let us be clear: Dissent is not grounds for deportation.

COLLINS: You said that if SCOTUS said someone needed to be returned you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago TRUMP: Why don't you just say, 'isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?' That's why nobody watches you anymore.

Old Man by Neil Young. Classic sad song. "Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you. I need someone to love me the whole day through." Who doesn't! Neil Young wrote this as a young man, connecting to an old caretaker of a ranch he bought. #sadsong #musicsky #neilyoung youtu.be/ZKCiC-H2Xbg

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.

The top story in the United States this week is the atrocities developing as a result of the relationship between Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele. Not tariffs. Not Katy Perry. Not whatever new dumb shit Elon Musk did. Major media needs to get this right and show America it is still paying attention.
