The man at left separated the mother and baby at right. The mother is now in Venezuela. Baby daughter, in foster care in the US, exact location unknown. Dad? He's in CECOT prison without trial — because he had tattoos.

I've just seen some staggering data on how badly infections are affecting urgent care here now. It's hard to comprehend. It's hard to get your head round it. You need to see it to believe it. 👀

The arrest of a judge and the removal of U.S.-born children represent the escalation of this regime’s lawlessness and inhumanity—part of its expanding commitment to stoke fear, ignore its constitutional obligations & threaten the lives of everyone in America. www.americaamerica.news/p/how-much-i...

Will the Labour Party take note of the report from Amnesty International on Universal Credit highlighting the cruelty of the system, or will they laugh at the report as the Tories did when the UN investigated the benefits system?

This beautiful picture is from Toronto. This week. Not 2022, not 2021. 2025. Covid is still ongoing. It never ended. If your event doesn't have a mask requirement it isn't accessible or inclusive & puts others at risk.

"The law shouldn’t even feel special. We flirt all the time. We’re not, for example, married to fascism. We just bought a ring, put a deposit down on a venue, sent out save-the-dates, and asked the ghost of Hitler for permission."

The fact that companies can sell us things at greatly inflated prices and then kill our ability to use them is unfair practice and I’m astonished it goes undisputed. “Sorry, that iPad that cost a fortune ‘can’t' be updated — so now all these apps won’t work. Oh, well. You lose. Buy another one…"

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

it’s so important never to shut up about the fact that people who are pushing pushing pushing for (certain kinds of) people to have more children are not in any way doing it because they love children we all know that, but it’s still important to continue to say

Looks like Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller has gone over the edge. Way, way over the edge. He tells Fox News: the Supreme Court is made up of “rogue radical communist left-wing” judges and demands America sides with Trump “to remove these terrorists from our communities.”

“It doesn’t matter who you are, you’re going to be prosecuted," said Attorney General Pam Bondi. Unless, of course, you are a violent insurrectionist who assaults police officers, smears shit in the US capitol, and tries to overthrow an election on behalf of Donald Trump.

The US government has dismantled all covid related tracking & reporting despite people dying and becoming disabled every day… Yet they’re establishing a registry to track autism cases and plan to access people’s private medical data. Autism doesn’t kill. It’s not contagious. This is eugenics

If the person in charge of health and human services stands up and calls diabetes an “exotic disease” and says he has never heard of lupus or crohn’s… he should immediately be fired for gross incompetence. This is eugenics. He’s going after disabled people so they don’t have to pay to treat them.

US federal judge now basically describing US government as dishonest in its dealings with the court. That this description is not surprising does not take away from how extraordinary this moment is, and should be. This is what a constitutional crisis looks like, played out in real time.

NEW: Judge Xinis largely rejects DOJ's opposition to discovery requests in the Abrego Garcia case, accusing the Trump admin of "a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations," citing their continued denial to acknowledge what the Supreme Court ordered.

We can’t even convict foreign criminals. Nor homegrown ones. Because - and I know ministers like to pretend this isn’t true, but we will keep saying it - the criminal justice system is in absolute meltdown. So maybe address that before making little league tables of which foreign is the baddest.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

A German book store chain has a separate table for books banned in the US & the 'reason(s)' given why. We remember how from 1933, Nazis banned & burned book bcs they were incompatible with Nazi ideology, or the authors were Jewish. We thought we had all learned that lesson. #GoodMorning, everyone
