BREAKING: We, @aclu.org and CLEAR are joining Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team after ICE unlawfully arrested and detained her in retaliation for her political speech. Speaking out against a war, a policy, or a government is not a crime. The government must immediately release Ms. Öztürk.

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

The fall of an empire is supposed to be a dramatic thing. But the reality is far less exciting. It happens in the text of legislation nobody bothered reading, in local elections nobody followed, in a thousand tiny disasters that amounted to a thousand little cuts on the body politic.

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.

Any cop pulling up a mask and obscuring their face should be fired. How is this legal? This is what you see in Georgia and other countries that have authoritarian regimes.

ECONOMICS: 101 👇 For those who weren’t paying attention in economics class: when poor people earn money, they spend it and boost the economy. When rich people earn money, they stash it away in offshore accounts, where it does nothing but gather interest… Tax the wealthy, NOW!

Congrats to the White House correspondents who failed to stand in solidarity with the AP and now get to stand by their new peer, a dipshit podcaster and Putin stooge. Dont complain, you earned this.

I don’t think I ever would’ve used this sort of language a few years ago, but I am starting to think there’s really no good explanation for what’s happening at the highest levels of this country except evil Like, in the ancient religious text/horror movie sense It’s all destruction and misery

The thing I admire most about Jeffery Goldberg right now is that he didn't sit on his incendiary scoop, waiting to reveal it only when he could make money from it in a book, like so many other selfish people who know shocking things about this administration have done and will continue to do.

I truly think it’s too late for America. Social media shows just how many Russian trolls pretending to be Americans pushing the division are so easily believed, liked, amplified and replied to. Russia have played the A game here. There is stupidly. Then there’s American stupidity.

An entire apartment building was leveled to kill one guy. How many civilians died? Is this a war crime? The religious language—“prayer,” “God bless,” “Godspeed to our Warriors”—makes it all the more revolting, like a game of Battleship from the safety of a church basement.

My hope is that when career professionals at Defense, NSA, CIA, State, and other agencies absorb the sheer hypocrisy of their bosses getting away with sharing classified information with zero punishment, they will anonymously leak every sordid story, rumor and detail about their bosses to the press.

Has anybody else in the U.S. experienced an uptick in people just straight up running red lights? I've seen about a dozen people straight up blow through fully red lights. I'm wondering if we're finally at that point where people feel like laws don't matter and there's no need for basic civility.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

Consistently abysmal to remember this is happening because a husk of a nepo baby couldn't stand to be shamed by a Black president being cooler than him and found tens of millions of Americans who agreed with him.
