Trump’s administration has falsely declared more than 6,300 immigrants dead—adding the names and ss numbers of thousands of living, breathing people to the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File. They will no longer be able to access their bank accounts or use their credit cards.

Horrifying.

New, from me: Marco Rubio used to boast that he was banned from China, calling it a totalitarian state. Now he combines a) new surveillance capabilities to monitor and punish international students, with b) little accountability or due process. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

It looks very much like the Department of Homeland Security memo seeking to revoke Ozturk's visa copied language directly from the Canary Mission website. Is DHS just following the "deport list" from an anonymous website? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

FCC Chair Brendan Carr sports a gold Trump-head lapel pin. Members of Trump’s cabinet, along with Congresspeople and Senators, are being instructed to wear a tribute to their inglorious, convicted-felon leader.

For many current law students, firms challenging Trump's executive orders in court are now more appealing than those that struck deals with his administration, according to our interviews with students, recruiters and lawyers. Full story 👉 politi.co/3XUIe5a

This @theverge.com piece asks the wrong question, which isn’t whether they used ChatGPT but where ChatGPT “learned” this was a good suggestion. It’s clearly not a hallucination. www.theverge.com/news/642620/...

Yoon impeached! The Constitutional Court has upheld Yoon’s impeachment! We will have an early presidential election within 60 days. This was possible because of the enduring organizing of the Korean people. After 4 months of non-stop protests, we the Korean People did it!

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again". Our media is failing us. Again. zeteo.com/subscribe

Ruth Marcus spent 40 years at the Washington Post and witnessed the newspaper’s editorial principles erode under the ownership of Jeff Bezos. In an essay, she writes about why she finally made the decision to quit.

Senator Cory Booker holding the floor. Keep going!

Every network should be covering this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUK...

Got a short public-facing thing coming out about this should be soonish (tldr: some smart people pre-Trump thought they saw a loophole for this but it's wrong and a fundamental misreading of the constitution as constitution)

Early voting ends today and Election Day is Tuesday. Help us elect workers’ rights champion Susan Crawford, stop Elon Musk, and secure the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority thru 2028. WI residents: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/2025_s... Everyone: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Yes--Germany invented the modern university. In the 1930s its universities were the best in the world until the Nazis destroyed them. German universities have never recovered their preeminence. We risk repeating this history here in the US.

I haven't seen this reported. Please share.

I just spoke with Homeland Security to get more information and I will share when I learn more. The University of Minnesota is an international destination for education and research. We have any number of students studying here with visas, and we need answers. www.startribune.com/u-graduate-s...

Intervention works! These folks know they are doing sketchy crime work - Together? We can interfere, put them off, and freak them out. Alone it is difficult, but together? Together we are strong. (and so many more than them). Practice stepping forward.

Check the setting every so often too. Sometimes after an update I've noticed it gets turned off.

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

NEW: Friends of Neri Alvarado, rotting in a Salvadoran prison on Trump's orders, made a video highlighting his volunteer work helping neurodiverse children learn to swim. Neri was sent there after someone at ICE thought his autism awareness tattoo was a gang tattoo. Vid posted by Noah Lanard on X.

More than 130,000 government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning.” A group of librarians and archivists is fighting back.

Luddite

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Timeline cleanse 🌞

Today I did a cyber security panel taping for @onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social and @avindman.bsky.social and I discussed the attack we both get from Musk online (his are worse than mine). Both of us ignore it and this epic quote explains why.

At some point, contempt orders need to start flying out of courthouses. And, as I saw @david.noll.org quoted somewhere as confirming, federal judges do not need to use federal marshals--who are officially under the AG's authority--to make contempt arrests. So send out the MPD when necessary.

Every day more people who thought this would not affect them are learning that this is not the case. Still, not nearly enough people are learning quickly enough.

Border czar Tom Homan raved on Fox News, “We’re not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think, I don’t care what the left thinks, we’re comin’.”

Every single “patriot” should be horrified. Pentagon leaders have ordered Arlington National Cemetery’s website to remove the names of black and female veterans, “because they are DEI.” search.app/iQ1QMnc6KFas...

Collaborators with the fascists.

The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices.

In a rare display of credibility, Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney busted Lutnick's claim that the solution is merely to support American manufacturers. “We make plenty of steel in America.” Varney pointed out. “Domestic producers can’t keep up with the demand."

Tucsonans! Thursday, 20 March In the spirit of John Lewis, it's time for some Good Trouble!

Nate Vance, a Texas native who volunteered for Ukraine, fought on the front lines against Russia for 3 years—and is pissed at his cousin for hurting his comrades there.

Facts

Scott knows a thing or two about bankrupting Medicare. He served as CEO of Columbia/HCA Hospital which, at the time, executed the the largest health care fraud in history.

FYI, there are investment scams across Facebook and Instagram using my likeness. Please report. Meta has been responsive to problem. Previous sentence is a lie.

There seems to be widespread recognition that bad facts are bad news, and, despite skepticism, there is an enduring thirst for reliable information. The question is, where can it be found, and how can its purveyors make themselves heard amid the noise?

BREAKING: The government will no longer require shell companies to disclose their owners and beneficiaries. Wealthy corporations and individuals may now hide their profits from the public.

Let me say @fahrenthold.bsky.social is a national treasure. Also he can do math. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/u...
