These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Holocaust survivors and educators spent decades warning everyone that the Nazis were normal people, not monsters, and that they would come back if we weren't vigilant. They were right, we weren't vigilant and now here we are.

For two people. Yes...they are threatening an entire state because they refuse to discriminate against two kids. That's the fucked up place we are at.

Eugenics has entered the chat, invited by the guy who sawed the head off of a whale, ate road kill, injected himself with drugs, & had his brain bits eaten by a worm.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

This is it, folks. Far larger than Harvard itself, as large as Harvard is. Every nonprofit from the center leftward is on notice for potential destruction.

The family of a #Chicago man sent to a Salvadoran prison learned his whereabouts from a Kristi Noem video, @adrianacardmag.bsky.social found. The family has no idea how to reach him after recognizing him in footage of the U.S. homeland security chief touring the prison. www.wbez.org/immigration/...

From @newbedfordlight.bsky.social: A Guatemalan immigrant with no Massachusetts criminal record was arrested Monday on Tallman Street in New Bedford after federal agents shattered the glass on his vehicle as he and his wife waited inside the car for their lawyer to arrive.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Harvard employs some 17k people depending on how you count it. They should just refuse to send federal taxes to DC from their employees’ paychecks.

Legal permanent resident of the U.S., showing up to apply for citizenship, with no allegations of criminal activity, is arrested and detained by masked police. This is fascism, and that is not a word I use lightly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

🚨I have a new beat at The Washington Post, covering the Trump administration's foreign policy with a focus on the State Department. If you have something to share, reach out to me at [email protected] or mradamtaylor.01 on Signal 🚨

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

🧵 We're extremely concerned DOGE has gained access to data that would help them target farmworkers & organizations serving them. Please help us spread the word in your communities. 🚨 Here's what we know.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.
