A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Just a non-gentle reminder of this guy's past. People knew who he was and what he stood for. His resume was blatantly clear. Now, he is doing the same on a massive scale and with help.

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

Judge Theodore D. Chuang of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Defendants’ unilateral decision to shut down USAID likely violated the US Constitution. Indefinitely blocked the agency’s dismantling and barred Musk’s staffers from accessing sensitive personal data maintained by USAID.

Trump has declared that all pardons issued by former President Joe Biden using an autopen—a device that replicates signatures—are “void, vacant, and of no further force or effect.” Unfortunately for Trump, that’s not how this works—these signatures are legally valid.

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Well, looks like we’re already here. The Trump administration willfully defied a court order. Hopefully the court will hold the government in contempt. What happens next is going to tell us exactly what direction we are headed

Trump suggests U.S. Supreme Court may need to decide whether a judge can require the administration to reinstate thousands of probationary workers who were fired as part of efforts to shrink the federal workforce.

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

The writ of habeas corpus exists to protect against arbitrary detention and confinement. Of course, the writ meaning anything depends on an executive branch that is willing to 1) respond to a legal action; 2) tell the truth in court; and 3) obey a court order. Otherwise this is 1973 Chile

A group of Musk staffers attempted to take control of California’s water pumps during the devastating wildfires. Inspired by Trump, the mission involved direct pressure on federal officials and even a failed attempt to activate the pumps themselves.

Happy Sunday lovely phone family. How are we all doing? I'm a massive fan of animated films, at least in part because they often contain important life lessons and social messages. We need to watch more of them and start taking notes! Have an ace day 🥰 #HaveCourageAndBeKind ❤️ #StrongerTogether

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.
