this administration is the closest thing to pure evil that the world has witnessed in generations

Social media and self-selected news have made society essentially ungovernable. Functioning societies can't exist when residents under a single governing authority inhabit completely different realities. America won't be fixed until we reconcile this.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

My friend @daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I are doing a weekly live show Wednesdays at 12pm ET to unpack the emotional experience of living in an authoritarian crisis. Today we got into denial, grief, and the need for something better than what we had. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-check-...

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Brave, courageous, powerful statement from Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer. Watch, cry a little, share and let's keep fighting everyone.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

"Do you believe that anyone from America who goes into CECOT will ever come out? I do not. This is not incarceration; it is liquidation." This is the cause right now. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/bring-him-...

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

New pod: @swin24.bsky.social is great in explaining that the authoritarian takeover is upon us. Trump's meeting with Bukele is a coming-out party, an open declaration of US alignment with global autocrats and dictators. "It has happened here," he says. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

I’m just an old-fashioned conservative who thinks that criminals should go to prison after receiving due process, and not to El Salvador or to the White House without it.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Congressional Democrats could send a criminal referral to DOJ and the 50 states for this and other DOGE activity. There needs to be a greater understanding that these guys are breaking laws and will some day be held accountable.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

Presidents Trump of the U.S. and Bukele of El Salvador said Monday they had “no basis” to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there last month. No basis? Trump is treating federal law and federal court orders as mere trash. apnews.com/live/donald-...

Shorter Bukele: The ball is in Trump's court. 1) Bukele says 3x he can't "SMUGGLE" Abrego Garcia into US - i.e., if not legally permitted (by Trump admin) to do so 2) Why THAT question would be "preposterous." 3) Then adds: "I don't have the power to return him to the United States." (Trump does)

Also 100% something Congress could do if, for instance, John Thune and Mike Johnson weren't full supporters of this tyranny.

The entire presser, INCLUDING Bukele's video, was staged defiance. It shows that Trump is not facilitating Abrego Garcia's return--SCOTUS' order. It was staged to precede the status hearing tomorrow. It was also staged to present the claim of terrorism in unquestioned fashion for media to parrot.

"When government officials—especially those with badges and guns—violate Americans’ rights rather than protecting them, it often falls to the DOJ's Civil Rights Division to enforce the law against law enforcement." Get ready to say goodbye to all that.

Seeing way too many people suggest that if Trump decides to do this, then "nothing can stop him." That's both legally false and defeatist. Once we're talking real tyranny, which this would be, then certain constitutional remedies open up. The Founding Fathers knew this would happen.

An easy face-saving way out of the Abrego Garcia mess for the US would be for Pres Bukele to announce tomorrow that in his sovereign mercy, he is returning AG to the US. If that happens, no one should be fooled: Bukele is a two-bit dictator who will do exactly what he thinks or is told Trump wants.
