Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

"Boy shot by police" Boy SHOT by police. BOY SHOT BY POLICE

Good Goldman chart showing how US yields and the dollar have decoupled.

MN will be next

"On March 12th, ICE issued a press release about an 'enhanced' operation that the agency had conducted the previous week in New Mexico. 48 people were arrested in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Roswell, according to the government....." www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

I tried to get records of this gentleman's arrest -- César Francisco Tovar. The WSJ says he was pulled over in San Antonio, taken into custody, and then sent to ICE detention before being shipped to CECOT.

10 hours.

I never taught Yunseo Chung, but once you’ve taught college students for even a little while, they all feel like yours. They cannot take our students. They can’t, they can’t, we can’t let them.

More of us "deleted" for no describable reason. No future of functional software for the American people.

Crazy that four dems voted for the save act... Voter suppression.

BREAKING: The House passed the SAVE Act, which requires Americans to show a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Over half of all Americans do not have a passport. Millions more do not have access to their birth certificate. 21 MILLION citizens will be impacted.

the Trump administration in a nutshell - abandoning consent decrees on police departments in favor of consent decrees on universities edition.cnn.com/2025/01/22/p...

This is slavery. I want people to understand that. Because it’s important you understand that BECAUSE IT IS SLAVERY YOUR WHITE FAVORITES DO NOT WORK - not Arendt - not Marx - not the New Left - not racial blindness If they don’t address races it doesn’t actually help

The Trump administration is now canceling people's Social Security Numbers, treating them as if they are legally dead. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in New Mexico’s largest city, saying that a significant increase in crime in Albuquerque warrants the help of the New Mexico National Guard www.yahoo.com/news/mexico-...

i’m of the view that it would be genuinely idiotic for the white house to invoke the insurrection act if it wants to stay in power. if you are going to call out troops to confront throngs of protesters, you need to be extremely confident that they will obey every order given to them.

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The US government holds a tremendous amount of data about US citizens. Now, The Trump administration is trying to access that data and link it together. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

This should also be understood in the context of tariffs, as creating an impoverished and deeply regressive system of public finance.

What a crowd at the Hands Off protest in Milwaukee today! I’m speaking shortly 📢

The #handsoff #april5th march in Chicago is so large the front just arrove back in Daley Plaza while the back has just started to leave.

Big union turnout at NYC's #HandsOff rally ✊

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

this country bloodsoaked in authoritarianism from its genocidal start taught me to be okay feeling insane and freakish here, for refusing those ways, a while ago

"an extended reflection on what it feels like to be trapped inside the sort of madhouse [Arendt] describes. Because I think sheer insanity now rules America. We have gone mad, and the consequence is that sanity now feels itself like a disorder." www.liberalcurrents.com/youre-not-cr...

good thing they have an outstanding journalism program 😀 bsky.app/profile/kevi...

The idea that the federal government can go before a judge and say, “Yeah we arrested the wrong guy, but too bad, so sad” is not alarming nearly enough people yet.

Alright, it's time for a thread of folks in Gaza who need help. If you're able to give, please do. If you're able to take up one of these family fundraisers and post about them on other social media, or help in another way, please do. I'm going to get to as many people as I can today. Please share.

Our movements are facing compounding and intersecting horrors at the hands of the US and Israeli governments. And our power comes from our ability to keep organizing — and that’s why we’re not stopping.

The villainy of this administration and specifically Kennedy is world-historical. You have to really stretch your mind to even start to grasp how a human being could be so depraved as to do this.
