This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

We need to answer the question as to why they’re not doing something as obvious as this. They’re not stupid. They’re not scared. And surely someone in their office knows how to use a phone. So why? If we don’t identify “the why” and confront it, we’re doomed to this www.thenation.com/article/poli...

They fired a top Black general and are replacing him with a much less-qualified white general. They’re not hiding the racism.

Excellent thread. We can’t get out of this by hiding. The only way out is actually fighting for universities, science, and public health in a way that involves convincing many other people to also fight for them.

According to my CDC sources, the bird flu situation is worsening, with many cases being underreported. Numerous individuals are exhibiting flu-like symptoms, yet the Trump administration has warned that anyone who releases information about the bird flu will be fired.

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa for the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter. But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

He accidentally did a Nazi salute... TWICE. While talking about the future of Western civilization. He is who we think he is.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
