An ICE officer using an axe to smash into a 'suspected' immigrants car and drag them away. No proof, no warrant, just like the Gestapo.

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today? And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

I think it's pretty simple and very chilling: They don't want to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home in large part because they are afraid of what he would say, the story he would tell.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

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.”

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.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

Not insignificant in all this, I think - Kilmar Abrego Garcia is the devoted father of two autistic children, while the health secretary is a conspiracy theorist eugenicist trying to demonize and “cure” autistic people.

This is truly pathetic, small-minded & struggling to find relevance from the Scots Tory leader. While misunderstanding contemporary Scotland by associating the politics of independence with the politics of divisiveness when there are big issues we all need to come together on.

This is what inequality looks like: unelected peers who own property trying to undermine protections for renters. 1 in 5 sitting peers are landlords, and the 85 landlords in the House of Commons makes them the third-biggest group.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

As I watch Starmer tear up Labour's prospects by attacking people in poverty, abusing those who care about the living world and appeasing the ultra-rich, I feel the same sense of dislocation as I did before the Iraq War. Anyone can see the disaster coming, except, apparently, the government.
