The days of Google Docs are ending; we enter the age of Docs, made by France's Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs and Germany's Center for Digital Sovereignty of Public Administration. We need more governments to collaborate on public software projects to achieve digital sovereignty.

The anecdote at the beginning of this is so insane, I am losing my mind. This is some truly impeccable lore about David Harvey. newleftreview.org/issues/ii152...

Horrifying development

Realized yesterday many younger voters weren't old enough or politically engaged enough to remember Bernie's 2016 and 2020 campaigns and messaging. Heartening to see so many resonating with Bernie's messaging (and unburdened by the residual heartbreak from 2016).

Let it be noted that the Democratic politician with as much proven crossover appeal as any in the country has done it while making a point of not giving in to the resegregators and transphobes.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

“The Military Ban is soaked in animus and dripping with pretext,” Judge Reyes wrote. “Its language is unabashedly demeaning, its policy stigmatizes transgender persons as inherently unfit, and its conclusions bear no relation to fact.“ Read Law Dork on the decision blocking Trump's anti-trans ban.

They're abducting people for the suspected views of their spouses in the middle of fucking Georgetown

For the love of god, lock down your electronics before crossing the border. 1. Sign out and delete apps 2. Store files and photos in the cloud 3. Permanently delete files on your device 4. Disable automatic log in for apps 5. Use travel devices with minimal personal data, if possible

The hearing for US Institute of Peace vs Kenneth Jackson et al with Judge Beryl Howell starting now. I'm listening via phone.

TIL "creating a constitutional crisis" is when you tell someone to stop doing something unconstitutional www.axios.com/2025/03/18/d...

Link to Mahmoud Kahlil’s full statement from this story:

How dare Palestinians...develop roads and houses on their land. How dare they threaten illegal settlements by...building roads to facilitate travel between villages.

Dem Attorneys General spent the last year preparing strategy for a potential Trump 2.0. We need long term strategy from dem leadership that goes beyond simply winning the next election.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang. One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

ICE is not accounting for the whereabouts of dozens of detainees from New Mexico

THREAD: There’s a dire situation in Vietnam, at the largest Agent Orange spill in the country. When Trump and Marco Rubio cancelled foreign aid, froze funding and began dismantling USAID, those who were cleaning up the Bien Hoa air base had to halt work. 1/

the DOJ just stood in front of a federal judge & said it, no implying was involved; they're arguing that if cops get you out of US territory before a judge issues an order demanding that you're accounted for--not freed, accounted for in a legal process--you never get to see a judge astonishing

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Okay, I'm on the public line and going to do another live-skeeting of the hearing for those who can't join (it seems the public line is now full). Hearing is set to start in moments.

NO ONE KNOWS WHO WAS TRAFFICKED TO THE EL SALVADOR WORK CAMP

Reminder that Centrists have a long history of facilitating far-right governments as a means of suppressing left-wing political power.

Without due process, we don't even know the identities of the deportees, let alone the 'intelligence' alledging their gang affiliation. 'We' includes attorneys and family who can also assume their loved one/ client was illegally sent to El Salvador bc they've disappeared from the system.

TRAINS

There is not a billionaire in this world who is not complict in the physical and material harm of others.

"Trump Isn't Just Attacking Trans People. He's Denationalizing Them." Archive link because fuck the New York Times.

I mean he should be removed from office tomorrow if any of the guardrails were even remotely in force instead, this will be the consensus legal opinion of the Republican party by 10 AM

Trump demonstrating exactly why Biden issued the blanket pardons that he did.
