Still fuming about that press conference. The way RFK Jr. talks about autism is not just scientifically wrong—it’s deeply offensive. Calling autistic kids "damaged" or implying they’ve been "lost" or "stolen" doesn’t just spread misinformation—it dehumanizes real people.

Just know that the utterly horrific or unconstitutional thing he's doing right now is just meant to distract you from the 15 other utterly horrific or unconstitutional things he is doing right now.

Great idea

Donald Trump believes he’s never wrong – and that’s exactly what makes him so dangerous. — #AJOpinion by Andrew Mitrovica ⤵️

This seems important

Bonus lesson today: Federal Indian Boarding Schools. Between 1819 and the 1970s, United States policies established Indian boarding schools across the nation. American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children were forcibly removed from their homes and placed in 1/3

Despite what the Trump administration wants the courts to believe, speaking your mind is not illegal.

There is no conceivable legitimate reason for denying a visit. None.

ATTN FEDS: The @aflcio.org just launched a new initiative to connect us with legal resources when we are fired illegally or our rights at work are violated. 💪 Please help spread the word! ⬇️

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

So what happened today? Oh just the president of the United States colluding with a foreign government to imprison our legal residents without due process for pay…ya know, just another day in America. 🫠 Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

New It Could Happen Here @hungrybowtie.bsky.social and @jamesstout.bsky.social discuss a meeting between Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele on expanding CECOT style prisons to hold US citizens and immigrants. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

All 27 scientists at this CDC lab were told their duties were "unnecessary," and now viral outbreak investigations have been halted.

WATCH: @jessicatarlov.bsky.social cuts through Judge Jeanine’s gaslighting and delivers the inconvenient truth about #KilmarAbregoGarcia to Fox’s audience (and her complicit colleagues)

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

this is even funnier when you think • how primed america is to pretend real life is a popcorn movie • within that framework, the plot of the first x-men is forcefemming a bigoted sitting politician for funsies & as a guinea pig for the furtherance of the Trans Liberation Front • hi, webster

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

The "just following orders" defense could be up for testing in American courts soon - if the Republican president allows it to get that far before issuing pardons. Judicial v Executive is a title card fight.

“God hasn’t forgotten about you. Our children are asking: When will you come home?”

Trump is tanking the economy—and Americans are taking note. – 60% disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation – 75% say Trump’s tariffs will raise prices in the near term – Only 21% say his economic policies are helping. A stunning bipartisan rejection. 4 charts with more 🧵

Trump, the so-called dealmaker, now wants to delay Medicare from negotiating drug prices. Eli Lilly charges Americans $1,080 for the diabetes drug Mounjaro when the same drug can be purchased for $200 in Japan and $520 in the U.K. Is this what Trump means by America First?

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has warned that US President Donald Trump’s tariff policy could cut world trade by up to 1.5%, depending on how Trump’s tariff policy plays out. 🟠 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/7ax5c8

White House announces press pool for tomorrow, after booting newswires Out: Reuters, Bloomberg Still out: AP In: The Daily Signal (as secondary print), the Christian Broadcasting Network (as new media), EWTN (as secondary TV)

This article is from 2023 about the #ElSalvador #CECOT prison It gives you a view of how it's built on the inside... Warning: some are explicit pictures www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc...

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

The President doesn’t get to decide which news outlets should be funded based on who he likes the most.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

“Things actually changed to the worse”

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

Thank you!!!!! A federal judge in Washington threatened Wednesday to launch a high-stakes contempt investigation into whether the Trump administration violated a court order halting deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador.

Today’s staggering levels of economic inequality are not inevitable. To overcome today’s oligarchy, we must look to our history. Watch:

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

Communities are organizing ICE patrols using radios and megaphones—but what we really need is an ICE alert website where people can share details of ICE activity in real time to help protect and inform one another.

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

'Gaza turned into mass grave of Palestinians and for those helping them' Doctors Without Borders (MSF) slams Israel for targeting humanitarian workers, mass killings and its blockade of aid to Gaza aje.io/ho76sa

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for banning books and curricula about race and gender at schools on military bases around the world. This is a violation of students’ First Amendment rights.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
