She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get. This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively. I will repeat the facts once more: Russia is a terrorist state. Putin is a war criminal

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

They did. Because they thought they could control him, like the hands of the King. They presumed the true power was theirs. Well surprise surprise, lady and gentlemen... the monster eats judges, too.

Something we haven’t focused on enough is that the Trump administration isn’t just deporting people without process, it’s deporting them & incarcerating them in inhumane conditions in a third country. And we are paying for that cruel & unusual punishment that our government is imposing.

Working title for my new book: "Democracy dies in Decorum: How democrats ceded the Republic to oligarchs because they were too busy adhering to norms that nobody gives a smelly shit about anymore." It's a work in progress.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The logical interpretation of this is that Trump and Hegseth want to limit recruitment and retention of everyone except for straight white male troops. The question then would be: why? www.military.com/daily-news/2...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

As Americans we should be able to make our own decisions about who we are and how we identify. But Trump has taken actions that attacks trans rights, risking young people’s lives. We must protect these young people. Here are resources to help trans kids and ways you can support them.

Trump can’t legally own a firearm, but he’s about to be given the nuclear launch codes. Very normal country we have.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.
