Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

There’s a particular kind of anti-solidarity faux-leftism that imagines this moment as U.S. vs a sane world. This is witless American exceptionalism. As if the authoritarian & fascist moment isn’t global.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

At this point the Trump regime needs to show us evidence that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still alive. This is insane!

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

The Democratic Party needs to be fractured and people like Whitmer need to be cast out. If you are are more scared of the reaction to you working with a fascist then actually working with the fascist you’re not just a threat you’re a coward.

It’s your duty as a person of good character and integrity to stand up and fight fascism in any and all ways you can. We must understand this and come together to fight this back before it requires full military intervention and civil conflict. We are running out of time.

The Democrats should be running on not just a promise to imprisoned. Trump is and everyone within the White House and his administration but also that the wealth classes time has come and it’s time to end their ability to work as forces of anti-democracy and recuperate the losses they’ve caused.

My Massachusetts-born law/platonic life partner received this email today in which DHS "encourages" her to leave the United States "immediately on your own" rather than face criminal prosecution, which is of course fine and normal

Palantir has been using social media information to help the Israeli military target drone strikes at Palestinian journalists. Over 150 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza. A company willing to enable war crimes is now helping DOGE build a mega API with IRS data.

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

Today, House Republicans are passing a bill that could kick off the voter rolls millions of American women who changed their names when they got married. They won’t have my vote—I’m a NO.

While Donald Trump throws our economy into chaos, Republicans in Congress just advanced Trump's plan to cut health care for millions of people to pay for tax handouts for billionaires and giant corporations. We're going to fight it with everything we've got.

We expected hundreds of thousands of people yesterday. Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab. Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Gotta wonder how these tariffs don't entirely torpedo the AI boom. The chips, the stuff for building data centers, and then the fact that once you get it in a data center the chip immediately starts losing you money. This shit was already pretty stupid, I can't see how this goes on. What a mess.

One of 2025’s most important elections is today. Elon Musk has spent over $20 million to stop workers’ rights champion @crawfordforwi.bsky.social from securing the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority through 2028. It’s time to teach Musk that his money can’t buy everything.
