Thank you for not calling it "deporting." This is not deportation. Deportation is a process. Here there was NO process. Deportation is being sent back to where you came from. These people were sold to a foreign country's prison. We must stop using their propaganda words.

(The Telegraph) - Donald Trump is systematically purging every US government institution, a pattern familiar to anybody who has studied the caudillo regimes of Latin America, or the playbook of today’s Putin-Orbán-Erdoğan prototypes. @telegraphnews.bsky.social www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

DOGE just sacked half of @usedgov’s workforce, including lawyers defending students with disabilities. If these chainsaw massacres are so popular, why don’t they bring them to Congress first? How many cases do they have to lose?

Here's the messaging right now over at Childrens Health Defense, RFK Jr's organization. The U.S. functionally eliminated measles in 2000 and has gone without a measles death since 2015. The current outbreak has killed two, including a six year old.

One of the greatest arguments against the marketisation of art can be found in the return of Friday Nights. Designed not to perform in line with algorithmic trends, but just to be a great series, & each new instalment is better than the last as a result. youtu.be/5G_R-XVpt5A?...

Watching Dems (finally) name the existential threat to democracy in plain terms and seeing them respond this way is beyond chilling. It's not just revolting, it's a signal they're confident that the coup is secure at this point

Dave Portnoy didn't realize that he'd committed a crime by running a low grade pump and dump scheme with a couple of shitcoins. Naturally, he recorded a video detailing exactly what he did and then blasted the confession out to his 3.5 million followers. Outstanding stuff. Peak Crypto Mindset.

For those who continue to deny that Trump and the MAGA GOP's objection to asylum-seekers and refugees isn't racist, check out which group, out of all the conflicts on earth, Trump has made a very special refugee resettlement for. Yep. White South Africans. Beyond parody.

Musk has sicced his followers on the WSJ writer who reported on a DOGE staffer’s racist online, history demanding her firing. This is a tactic Silicon Valley’s neoreactionaries have been advocating for years: Pick a reporter, dox and harrass, make an example of them, make everyone else afraid.

So the approach appears to be: Take a blind, asinine overreach to any fabricated situation and wait for pushback/repercussions to recalibrate or withdraw. This means... CHALLENGE EVERYTHING THAT HAS ANY HINT OF SHENANIGANS #uspolitics #trump #potus #usa
