Sticks forward or backwards, I’m in.

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

200 people detained by ICE because they made a wrong turn on the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. 200.

one thing that reporting this and every other story on DOGE that cannot be overstated is the degree to which @wired.com’s reporting has been positively vital and opens doors for others when we do our own work. eternally grateful to them for the amazing body of work

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

We’re just two months away from Election Day, yet 50% of New Yorkers still have no idea who I am or what this movement is all about. The only way we can win is by bringing our message to as many doors as possible — and we need your help to do so.

A couple weeks from now will be bad.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

You broke it, you bought it. t.co/hHXdks6ejw

This is the only content i wanna see

The Trump-Vance admin just deported two families, including three US citizen kids ages 2, 4, and 7. Both families were detained and then blocked from communicating with attorneys or family members. One of the moms is pregnant. One of the citizen kids has cancer. Both deported without medical help.

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

tiny hand energy

they hate kids

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

i feel like trumpcoin, and the fact that we never talk about it, is pretty emblematic of the way the press refuses to grapple with trump. it exists in order to pay him bribes. it expressly gives you political access. it does not pretend to have a licit motive. it was a one-day scandal.

Impeach and remove

Do we still have impeachment? "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done"

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

The Telegraph launched a bold ad campaign across the UK. Social media users noticed this eye-catching banner in Kent.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Lame duck president destroying the economy, America's standing in the world, and democracy.

Trump has indefinitely withdrawn federal funding for: • Investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against kids; • Responding to reports of missing children; • Preventing youth violence New, @propublica.org

I miss Chris Cornell.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Executive orders are not legislation. They are implementation guidance to the executive branch. The significance of this is that Trump is behaving like a dictator. He thinks he is creating laws and assumes no one will stop him.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

What in the hell is happening? "None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys, only shelter workers who helped them log on to the hearing." gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

Just-out YouGov polling shows Trump's approval on the economy continuing to plunge — and his handling of immigration turning negative very sharply. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

authoritarianism playbook

“The establishment of the National Park Service is justified by considerations of good administration, of the value of natural beauty as a National asset, and of the effectiveness of outdoor life and recreation in the production of good citizenship.” ~Roosevelt #EarthDay #Utah #ArchesNP 🏞️ 📷

The same Court that rejects the idea that religious discussions and displays can be coercive to non- and other-believers will likely rule that discussions and displays of LGBTQ+ existence are coercive to religious objectors. This is incoherent, results-driven doctrine.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

Trump’s second term has been the worst start for any President since at least Hoover in stock market performance terms.

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
