OP with alt text.

The Trump administration backed down and reversed their terminations of thousands of visas for foreign students studying in the US. This is why we speak out. This is why we keep fighting. The resistance continues.

Jurors at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ upcoming sex trafficking and racketeering trial will see video showing him assaulting his former girlfriend, a federal judge rules.

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

To read the Criminal Complaint and attached FBI Affidavit that gave rise to Wisconsin State Judge Hannah Dugan’s federal criminal arrest today for obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States and concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest

Milwaukee mayor criticizes FBI's arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan "When something like this happens, [typically] an indictment of a potential defendant is ordered [...] I think what happened here is just show-boating."

This may be why Kash deleted his tweet. He claims Dugan "intentionally misdirected federal agents" away from Eduardo Flores Ruiz. But that's not the allegation. She allegedly directed him to leave via chambers, but didn't hide his ID. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A mob of Hasidic men in Brooklyn chase down a woman who came to protest Ben-Gvir. This sort of reaction has become normalized in NYC and LA, where violence against protestors has spiked enormously since October 7th. This largely isn't covered or addressed by media, despite how widespread it is.

Images like this, and that child having to defend himself, alone, in court, the rest of the world will have a hard time forgetting, America. That's the truth!

DOJ memo to officers: “Alien Enemies" are “not entitled to a hearing, appeal or judicial review” It also authorized officers to enter homes without a judicial warrant, ignoring the most bedrock principle of the 4th Amendment & opened the door allowing searches of homes without warrants. #MomSky

Former top staffer for Harry Reid, knows of what he speaks👇👇

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Secretary Alexis Herman—my Soror, a trailblazer, and the first Black woman to lead the Dept. of Labor. Her impact on this country and the fight for working people runs deep. Rest in power, Madam Secretary.

To every elected leader in this country: be more like @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

New: A former senior Treasury official told @propublica.org the probe could lead to a criminal investigation if reviewers find evidence of lawbreaking. But That same official said it’s possible those leading the review could face political repercussions.

...there be dragons here.

This is what "second amendment remedies" are ACTUALLY for

NEW: Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the federal courthouse in Milwaukee in support of Judge Hannah Dugan after her arrest earlier today by the FBI. (🎥 TMJ4 News)

Congrats Paul Weiss. "You know these law firms gave me $100 million worth of work, et cetera, and other things. And do you think they gave me that because I'm a nice guy? I don't think so. They gave it to me because they knew what they did wrong and they didn't want to get involved with it."-Trump.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.

We really do need to level the political playing field so that a welder or electrician who wants to run for office has the same equal political financing power as a real estate developer or tech bro. Money shouldn’t define a campaign, ideas should.

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.

The FBI is arresting judges. We just blew through Constitutional Crisis and into fascism.

Judge Hannah Dugan was elected to the bench with 65% of the vote. Maybe Trump is jealous.

Pope Francis, the first modern pope from the global south, was arguably the most influential Latin American in world politics this century. Here’s how his Argentine roots shaped his geopolitics:

A federal judge in Maryland ordered the Trump administration Thursday to pause enforcement of a new U.S. Education Department ban on diversity, equity and inclusion practices buff.ly/Zrdp4Vg

If you have opinions about what the MAGA regime is doing to Judge Dugan, make sure your senators and reps hear them. Fine to leave a voicemail after hours, i.e. right now.

Libraries are cornerstones of our communities and are a safe place to learn & grow. I spent my time as a kid wandering the shelves where I found my love of learning. This School Library Month, let’s support our local libraries! It will take all of us to ensure they stay open and accessible to all.

This — the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s arrest today of a sitting judge — against the backdrop that the President of the United States is, at this same moment, defying an April 10 Order of the Supreme Court of the United States

'Looks horrible': Former Trump FBI chief says Kash Patel may have fumbled judge’s arrest https://twp.ai/4ilzMf

First, Trump ignored the Supreme Court. Now, his FBI arrested a judge. This administration is threatening our country’s judicial system. This rings serious alarm bells.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers accuses Trump administration of undermining judiciary after arrest of Milwaukee judge.

⚡️Ukraine, allies working on security guarantees potentially similar to NATO Article 5, Zelensky says. Ukraine and its allies are working on security guarantees that offer "the protection that Article 5 provides to NATO countries," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 25.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocks Trump from stripping hundreds of thousands of federal workers of their union rights. The White House tried to end collective bargaining for workers at numerous agencies by invoking national security. A U.S. District Judge just shot them down.

Hey Internet, who is he?

JUDGE DUGAN, A WELL RESPECTED JUDGE FOR OVER THREE DECADES, WAS ARRESTED TODAY. THIS WAS A COWARDLY, FASCIST HIT JOB ON A DECENT, LAW-ABIDING JUDGE WHO SPENT HER LIFE SERVING THE POOR—AND FOR WHAT? BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO TURN HER COURTROOM INTO A STAGE FOR ICE’S THEATER OF FEAR? UNFORGIVABLE!!!

STOP didn’t work for the women you assaulted, Donald. Why would it work with your pal, Vladimir?

They arrested a SECOND JUDGE?!!!?! What the actual fuck?!?

Wow. George Santos sentenced to 87 months in prison for fraud.
