Anybody else find it interesting that Trump invited himself and Melania to the Pope's funeral--before any details of this event were finalized?

Hey friends. The ONE place I depend on for help with my rare neurological disorder, that has no treatment and no cure is in danger of closing. Please consider making a donation to help me save it. bit.ly/3YCKxKg #mutualaid #help

We’ll be writing this email tonight. Other UK chums, please do the same! We have to show solidarity and show the politicians that our trans siblings are not alone in this fight

anytime a trans person sees that gloating jkr photo on their tl they are automatically owed at least £10 in compensation

It gives me solace knowing that Pope Francis's last public words were unmistakable and clear: we must care for the poor; we must care for the migrant; we must stand with the victims of violence; we must free political prisoners; we must make an end to war and oppression and end hatred.

If you have a minute to spare today ⬇️

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

spamming the shit out of Instagram with RBOWD #content, can't wait until the shift ends and I can hose off the filth of the Posting Mines

It’s weird how you can accomplish things by simply trying to do them

Read the whole thing. It’s a thing of beauty.

Constitutional scholar types: I’m sure you remember on West Wing the discussion about census polling and how the wording of the “4/5ths rule“ is arcane. Isn’t there a similar argument to be made about the Alien Enemies Act of 1798? If it is not arcane, is it not being twisted beyond recognition?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Bring all of them back.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he spoke with the American embassy in El Salvador today and they said that they’d never been told to in any way facilitate the court ordered return of Mr Abrego. That sure sounds like evidence of criminal contempt to me.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

Stop making those little AI image generator memes of yourself as a Barbie or a Ghibli character you are enriching evil companies and destroying the planet and this is like one of the easiest things you can just not do

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

"You don't deserve due process if you're a criminal" has got to be among the least "American" arguments the government has put forward in a century

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

We are way past impeachment time

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

What if, purely hypothetically, Stephen Miller was the guy who ordered flights to go even in spite of Boasberg's order on March 15. What if, also hypothetically, not all the people on the third plane had deportation orders? Does Abrego Garcia even? What if there are 50 more like him?

This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

Let me say this again: If a president can illegally deport someone, conspire with that country’s leader to abandon them to human rights abuses, and face no consequences, we are in a hellish authoritarian moment. What a fucking evil, illiberal government this is.

Trump confirms his plan to send incarcerated U.S. citizens to El Salvador. Can you hear me now? www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

So, let’s GET LOUD, folks! 👇 Who’s with me?! 🤚✨

I knew Trump’s EO’s sounded Bill of Attainder-y!! “How could a president alone have the authority to issue by executive order what would be unconstitutional if enacted with his signature and congressional approval?” www.justsecurity.org/110109/presi...

I don’t art direct comics or graphic novels so I never work with coloring artists but I'm working on a new illustrated chapter book where we'd be repackaging existing grayscale finished art and need to colorize it. If you’re a colorist, please share samples and a link to your folio. No DMs pls. 💙❤️

Yes. Figure out how to survive rather than bend the knee.
