The court system is a coequal branch of government. If the administration isn’t going to follow their orders it’s time to hold some senior officials in contempt.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time. [Heppoko Taylor]

Sarah Jones, "One of the reasons the steel industry has halved in the last ten years" "Is because our energy prices have doubled in the last ten years" "We're over-reliant on gas. That's why we're investing in renewable energy here in the UK so we aren't so reliant on gas"

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

Legal permanent resident of the U.S., showing up to apply for citizenship, with no allegations of criminal activity, is arrested and detained by masked police. This is fascism, and that is not a word I use lightly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

I know we beat this drum daily, but today especially it’s obvious these are not the actions of a party that anticipates ever losing power.

Can’t say more strongly: they are claiming the power to disappear people with no recourse, to entirely remove anyone they want to, forever, with no ability to stop them. “Unamerican” doesn’t do it justice. Diametrically opposed to anything even remotely resembling a society we should support.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.
