I didn’t think that the US could more seriously violate the human rights of prisoners than what went on at Guantanamo, but apparently that was just a prelude. Listen to this video & realize what is being done in our names #Trump #ElSalvador www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jACfNh/

“As long as the government gets the targeted person out of the United States and into foreign detention fast enough, before a court can issue an order, what remedy does such a person have?” Excellent summation of the Trump admin v the rule of law #AlienEnemiesAct www.lawfaremedia.org/article/mixe...

Medicare privatization is the ultimate goal — both parties have contributed to this feeding frenzy of corporate excess, but the Trump administration is the most extreme yet prospect.org/health/2025-...

We are definitely screwed.

Having not actually read Yarvin, I didn't realize his arguments were this stupid. We're talking like, Jordan Peterson or worse. Who cares about clear Constitutionally dictated powers when we could just consider the etymology of the word Executive? 🤪👈

“The Trump tariffs…were literally generated by an AI chatbot which was asked for an ‘easy’ way to calculate tariff rates.” For well sourced insights like this @nathantankus.bsky.social is invaluable. I subscribe to his “Notes on the Crisis”🔥 www.crisesnotes.com/trumps-liber...

Here’s the judge’s order granting #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s preliminary injunction. The US has until 11:59 PM 4/7/25 to return Abrego Garcia to the US www4.wng.org/Order-for-Re...

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was in 1911. Company scrip was being issued instead of pay. Upton Sinclair had published The Jungle a handful of years before. 1913 sucked for regular people.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

“ #Musk and the forces he represents are #Trump’s great weakness—the embodiment of an elite whose avarice and greed has made life worse for the rest of us for decades, sucking wealth out of our communities for the benefit of a select few” brandeisianbrief.substack.com/p/the-empty-...

Pete Hegseth Calls For Steep Cuts To Number Of Steps In AA Recovery

The unspeakable horror of what the US is doing to immigrants www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

As if things weren’t weird enough over at the other place, the world’s greatest example of Dunning-Kruger just whined that the goal of the Left is to destroy his “influence” & they (the left) are “evil.” It doesn’t bode well that someone like Musk has such an influential position in our government

The bromance between Musk & Trump makes sense when you look at the quid pro quo: Musk poured money into Trump’s campaign & used Xitter as a bullhorn (doing God knows what to tweak the algorithm in Trump’s favor) 1/3

Climate change & the 8th Amendment: Lawsuits filed in TX, LA, NM & GA allege that a lack of air conditioning in prisons while temperatures continue to rise amounts to cruel & unusual punishment apnews.com/article/texa...

News 🗞️ - ELIZABETH, Colo. — The Elizabeth School District in rural Colorado is refusing to comply with a federal judge's order to return 19 banned books to school library shelves, despite Tuesday's deadline. www.9news.com/article/news...

Smells like fascism #GOP #FederalCourts www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Absolutely hilarious cope from Trump’s National Security Advisor. Jeffrey Goldberg is a well-known neocon & Waltz definitely DOES know him youtu.be/UmEH2PLNVhc?... 1/3

I wondered what happened to this lawsuit. You all remember “Captain Portland” from the George Floyd protests, right? It’s a shame that our legal system is structured in such a way that individual law enforcement officers aren’t held personally liable srnnews.com/a-lawsuit-al...

The Caribbean Movement for Peace and Integration (Barbados) issued a forceful statement “strongly condemning the inhumane and criminal actions” by the governments of the United States and El Salvador against Venezuelan migrants. www.telesurenglish.net/caribbean-mo...

I guess Usha’s upcoming sightseeing trip is a little more meaningful in light of this dumb comment

There’s an old saying that describes the problem #Trump admin & the #GOP’s general approach, especially re #StudentLoans: “You can’t get blood from a turnip.” People in income based repayment plans are already struggling & the US economy is leaving ordinary people in the dust 🧵1/5

“A film made by people with cartoon dollar signs for eyes and not even the tiniest glimmer of art in their souls…”😂🤣😂 #SnowWhite www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

Yet another example of of neurotic immigration system: 64 year old who has had a green card for 50 years is currently detained by an ICE facility owned by GEO group www.newsweek.com/lewelyn-dixo...

Worth noting that the primary MO of the conservative legal movement since the 1980s has been to serve as a roadblock to federal action. Now Trump lawyers socialized into that movement are trying to criminalize the very strategies & tactics they deployed for decades to advance the cause of reaction.

George Gilder, an anti-feminist provocateur and mentee of the conservative stalwart William F Buckley who was once labeled “Male Chauvinist Pig of the Year” by NOW is the godfather of the incel culture of Silicon Valley www.theguardian.com/technology/n...
