As you read about the outrageous legal theories Pam Bondi laid out for Alien Enemy renditions, remember that there are multiple levels of propaganda behind Trump's claim that TdA is "invading." eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

One of many things not getting covered with the urgency it merits is the number of senior officials across government resigning or being fired because they object to actions they view as illegal or at least wildly inappropriate. abcnews.go.com/Business/wir...

NEW: Judge Xinis largely overrules the government’s objections to Abrego Garcia’s interrogatories and document production requests. Calls DOJ’s “false premise” objections reflects “a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations”

As others have noted, if you’re not seeing this “pro-natalism” creepiness through the lens of the white nationalist Fourteen Words, you’re missing the point.

“I’m one of the good people,” I say as I drag an unaccompanied 4-year-old girl into an immigration court. “People will remember this as a *good* thing I’m doing. Not, like, evil.”

"The Trump administration is 'likely in direct violation of numerous federal laws,' the judge wrote in his ruling..." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

RFK Jr. is launching a government registry to track autistic Americans using private medical records.

If the @washingtonpost.com wanted to set its credibility on fire, this is what it would do. ChatGPT cannibalized an actual reporter’s good work, turned it into a steaming pile of misinformation and then had the fucking nerve to slap the reporter’s name back on its bullshit.

The White House is expressing support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following media reports that he shared sensitive military details in another Signal messaging chat, this time with his wife and brother.

wonder what the secretary of health and human services, FAMOUS ENVIRONMENTAL LAWYER RFK JR, has to say about this

Is everyone in a signal chat with Pete hegseth but me?

PLEASE! Take the time to watch this. It is too important to ignore, and should make you mad as hell!!!

PSA: Social security is only a “Ponzi Scheme” if it’s not there when you actually need it. What Elon really means is they’re working to turn it into a Ponzi scheme. Every accusation is a confession.

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale RTd this thread, which says Trump shld act fast & “Fire people who can't be fired. Force them to litigate. Mass deport people who can't be deported. Force them to litigate. Cancel 100s of billions in funding that are not lawful to cancel & force them to litigate.” 1/

Putin wants to murder more people, Ukraine wants peace, and Trump wants to use the war to make a fortune.

Pope to Vance: You're wrong on immigration. God to Pope: Mission accomplished.

Such bs from Comer.. can hardly wait for him to get voted out..

If they had any evidence of either, they would not have needed to kidnap him, traffic him to a foreign prison, and do everything possible to deny him due process. There's no evidence he has committed any crime or has any affiliation with any gang. Literally none. Hence their actions.

It’s called BRIBERY 🤑

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

#2 hit me differently just now. It’s not just “stay calm,” tho we should. It’s “I’m in the moment. What’s the best choice now?” You can feel urgency w/o soul-draining terror. And that realization is the root of resistance and change.

The president has reportedly urged Congress to pass $175 billion for border security. But residents of Del Rio, Texas, and Douglas, Arizona, say their basic needs — like safe drinking water and hospital access — aren’t being met. @anjeanette-damon.bsky.social and Perla Trevizo w/ @texastribune.org

Mohsen Mahdawi, a permanent U.S. resident living in White River Junction, was arrested Monday when he arrived for a citizenship interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office in Colchester, according to court filings.

This is cruel and unusual punishment.

When does SCOTUS step in? Trump officials step up defiance over man wrongly deported to El Salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump talking to Musk - about incarcerating NOT JUST American citizens that are criminals currently incarcerated here... But also "non productive" citizens. I really really hope that @hcrichardson.bsky.social addresses this during her Virtual Town Hall in just an hour... (Everyone should attend)

The Supreme Court said 9-0 that the U.S. government should “facilitate” Garcia’s return. Thus it is self-evident that Bukele would not have to “smuggle” him back to the U.S.

They bonded over torture. This is the lowest level of human depravity.

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

"For now, that means the tariffs are not being collected by the U.S. government..." 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ a "glitch" you say? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

“They’ve been relentlessly dismantling every single civil rights agency in the federal government, and this could be the last one standing.” Garza added that she is “prepared to challenge any attempt to illegally remove me as chairwoman.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

So taxpayers are to buy a really big present for Thiel and Musk and Vance, while children go hungry. Musk says empathy is terrible. No one would ever accuse him of anything but raw self-interest.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

more law firms have just sold out to Trump

I'm going to ask this again: where are my taxes going now?

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really? Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting: www.cm-life.com/article/2025...

Representative Ro Khanna has introduced the Drain the Swamp Act. The legislation would prohibit appointees from accepting gifts from registered lobbyists, impose two-year cooling-off periods for officials entering and leaving government, and ban special “golden parachute” payments

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.
