Tea Pain keeps hearing a rumor that airport customs agents can seize your phone and search for negative comments against Trump. This seems highly unlikely that the government has that many resources to check that many travelers. Can anyone confirm or deny this seemingly silly rumor?

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

There's been a LOT going on, but the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case really deserves all of our attention. Some thoughts at CAMPAIGN TRAILS: campaign-trails.ghost.io/homegrown-cr...

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

Here is the situation if I’m understanding it correctly: 1. They are deporting lawful immigrants erroneously to prisons overseas 2. They are claiming no recourse to return these individuals 3. They say they are open to deporting citizens in the same way

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Any American not scared for our future today is a fool or not paying attention. Sociopathic sadists don't politely wait at the end of your block to ensure their depravities never touch you or yours. Every MAGA who's 🤣 over Trump saying he'll send Americans to concentration camps has suffering ahead.

It’s time for people to stop saying “he can’t do that” or “he’ll never get away with it” because he can and likely will.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

NEW: @elfaroenglish.bsky.social identified a SECOND man sent to El Salvador and imprisoned who is married to a US citizen. Jesús Ríos entered the US at a port of entry in 2023 seeking asylum. His wife started the green card process in January. Like most sent to CECOT, he has no criminal record.

For those of you keeping score: When President Biden left office, the stock market had risen to a healthy 43,487. Since trump launched his stupid trade war, the stock market has plummeted to 37,958, just 77 days later. He is a fucking IDIOT. Any questions?

The Supreme Court has turned away a challenge to New York's recently enacted gun restrictions. The court's decision not to intervene means most provisions of the law — including a ban on carrying concealed firearms in "sensitive places" — remain in effect.

Some of you thought I made a mathematical error in my PROOF report on the new international slave trade Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele have agreed upon. I didn’t. Both The Conversation and FT report that U.S. inmates—a majority with no criminal record—will have “less than two feet of living space.”

Justice Sotomayor with a bone-chilling dissent today: “The implication of the govt’s position is noncitizens AND US citizens could be taken off streets, forced onto planes, confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress…This Nation's laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.
