Hold Marco Rubio in contempt and then see whether the administration can figure out how to comply with a court order.

Calling a handful of celebrities "astronauts" for life after a 10 minute joyride while thousands of scientists are getting fired is peak 2025.

Uncertain times that we’re living in. One thing that you can do to make sure you’re prepared. Have at least three months worth of dry goods. Rice, beans, lentils. Lots of different spices/seasonings and water ! If things turn to martial law Avenue, it’s best to be as prepared for disruption in food

Courage is contagious in the best possible way. 👏 Harvard 👏 Cornell 👏 MIT Keep going! Solidarity!

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Some major public institutions in Canada, including a pension management firm and a leading hospital, are advising staff against traveling to the US.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Correct.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

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?

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

MIT following Harvard's lead here

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.

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

This is the guy they just arrested for setting Governor Shapiro's house on fire while he and his family were asleep. Someone doesn't try to burn a family alive just because their house was foreclosed. This maniac has more going on than just anger.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

“If we normalize this, there’s no end.” This is what @schumer.senate.gov said he was waiting for. Defying court orders. We are there. Now what?

What do you mean there’s no way to get him back?!?!?! AS EASY AS IT WAS TO PUT HIM ON A PLANE AND SEND HIM THERE IS AS EASY AS IT IS TO BRING HIM BACK?! This is a constitutional CRISIS where this rogue “President” is DEFYING the Supreme Court! BRING ABREGO GARCIA BACK NOW!!!!

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

I haven't posted all day...because I was working on this. I just finished: The Dangerous Road to Autocracy-We Have Arrived: When Lawlessness Becomes Policy (No Paywall) www.jackhopkinsnow.com

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

4 main reasons Christianity is on the decline: 1) Abuse. 2) Most don't want to be associated with Christian Nationalists. 3) It is shoved in their face (like at the Superbowl in 2023). 4) They WOKE up & realized it is crazy. #ReligionSky #BibleSky #WorldSky #DataSky www.npr.org/2022/09/17/1...

Disappearing Federal Data: I'm sure one of many examples, but FEMA removed coastal erosion prediction maps that had become widely used by planners, public works offices, insurance cos., real estate, etc. whatsupnewp.com/2025/04/fema...

www.facebook.com/share/p/1DRa... Look at the long list of sexual offenders. And it keeps on growing. These are some sick son of a bitch bitches. They need to be castrated and put in prison for life. And any monetary means they may gain in prison for their apparent hard work, needs

Nobody knows from one hour to the next what the policy of the US govt is that impacts trillions of dollars in global trade. There is no economic certainty for investors, corporations, or small businesses. Mad King Donald is determined to wreck this economy.

He's not a genius.

Do you know where the fighting oligarchy tour is needed the most right now? North Carolina, where they’re trying to literally steal an election that they lost after the fact and most of the legislative system is letting them 1/2

Landed in Dulles, Virginia, United States. Apx. flt. time 1 h 48 min.

The White House just released an Executive Order wiping out every environmental/wildlife protection for the last 100 years. Analysis by a conservation outlet attached in comments. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

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.

“In this arena there are hundreds of Alexandrias” Bernie calls on folks to oppose establishment candidates and run for office like @aoc.bsky.social did
