Holy cow❗ People apparently _returned_ from El Salvador for mistaken identity etc. in Alien Enemies Act deportations. This new development appears to show that the Trump administration's claim that they know all detainees sent to El Salvador prison were properly vetted may be dangerously false.⬇️

Trump, doing his best Vladimir Putin imitation, says the U.S.-Canada border is "just an artificial line."

submitted 14 hours ago • 30 comments

DOOCY: Are you concerned that if Canada became the 51st state, it would be a very very blue state? TRUMP: You have that artificial line that looks like it was drawn by a ruler. I don't mean a ruler like a king, I mean a ruler like a ruler. It's just an artificial line.

This is sadly true. We are fast becoming one of those countries we used to pity and detest at the same time, a country not safe even to visit, much less to live in. Recovering from the damage Trump and Musk have already inflicted will be a slow, painful process. The sooner we begin the better

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

if the democratic party had a functional propaganda arm it could make a lot of hay of the fact that a non-trivial number of MAGA personalities and politicians are child sex offenders

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

50 years ago, Trump & his dad were indicted for racist housing practices by Nixon's DoJ. In his 1st term he defended monuments to white supremacist confederates. This week he's messaging that racial segregation is acceptable to him. Imagine being too racist for Nixon.

This is the article that got me banned on Twitter. Nazis? Fine. Racist freaks? Perfectly ok. Describing a social and media campaign to hit Tesla's stock price? Sissy SpaceX freaks the fuck out.
