Alito's dissent aged poorly.

So basically: at the same time a DOJ lawyer was assuring a circuit court judge the Admin was not going to deport people that night, buses full of individuals were being driven to the airport, & the only reason those buses turned around was because SCOTUS stepped in. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Time for another digital security PSA with guitar … here’s “All the Small Things” but it’s about scrubbing metadata from your photos before you post them 🤘

Happy Easter.

JUST IN: Trump issued an executive order on day one of his administration that sought to limit birthright citizenship, an idea widely considered a fringe view because the Supreme Court ruled to the contrary 127 years ago, and that decision has never been disturbed.

Please, tell me again why the civil rights decree should be lifted, every elected official in this city.

If the government won't fund my plan to populate Mars with my legion of illegitimate children, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

For NOLA people.

It's time for President Bukele of El Salvador to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. ICC, where are you at?

“The world is now seeing Trump’s America for exactly what it is becoming: a rogue state led by an impulsive strongman disconnected from the rule of law and other constitutional American principles and values.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/o...

Or just stand up for the rule of law and push back against authoritarianism

Wow. Hell of an essay. On fucking point.

Someone with a Russian IP address used a DOGE account to attempt to login to the NLRB computer system.

Foreign concentration camps for American citizens.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Exactly this. Due process is for everyone. Nobody should be trafficked to a foreign torture prison.

Bring ALL the people our government illegally renditioned to a foreign prison without habeas corpus. Not just one obviously innocent man. Bring them back for due process in THIS COUNTRY. That is the law.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

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.

Preach!

The Trump Administration’s move to strip 700k federal workers of their union rights is an egregious act of union-busting. We commend Rep. Jared Golden and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick for standing up for workers' rights by introducing a bill to reverse this attack on America's public servants.

After all this tariff nonsense, be informed about where your food comes from. It's not going to magically start being produced here in the USA. And expect to pay way more. www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/us-food-i...

Encore overhire workers in Philadelphia have not seen ANY wage increases since the expiration of their agreement in 2021! These workers are the backbone of live events in Philly. Without their skills, the lights are dark and the microphones are off. 🔕 Workers are demanding a FAIR CONTRACT NOW!!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.
