Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

For those who aren't following, the Trump Administration is claiming that they do not have to bring back people they have wrongfully deported without due process. Essentially, once they're in el Salvador, there's nothing they can do. Holy ****, this is bad. 1/n www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Our numbers likely aren't large enough even if we turn out in large numbers to win in 2026, presuming semi-free and fair elections. We need a bigger tent that will pick up folks disaffected from Trump but we've got to figure out how to tolerate some points of view we don't share.

If you've ever enjoyed Lady Bird Lake in Austin for recreation, you have Rachel Carson to thank. It was cleaned up bc she included a chapter about its pollution in the book Silent Spring. I'm looking forward to seeing this. More from @indelibleaustin.bsky.social: www.statesman.com/story/news/e...

Pam Bondi brazenly lies, tells Trump that he was "overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority" and says "you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent."

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.
