Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

Just asking questions, Stephen!!

I guess there wasn’t an exception for tech, or maybe there. I dunno

D-MD, Senator Hollen sends letter to Salvadorian Ambassador to request a meeting with President Bukele. D-NY, Rep Espaillat, also sent a letter to Bukele & said if he has not received a response by today, he will ask Bukele in person to visit the prison where Garcia is being held. Don't give up!!

There is a 0.000% chance he wrote this one.

A reminder that while Democracy Docket was warning that Pam Bondi was an election denier who would do Trump's bidding, the Washington Post was giving her a literal thumbs up. Forget the legacy media, sign up for Democracy Docket today. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

Whoever did this—buy them a drink. ☠️🤣

Another plane crash? A small plane that was headed to Columbia County Airport in Hudson, New York crashed in a field killing 6 people onboard, including Karenna Groff, the 2022 NCAA woman of the year. I’m sure that guy from The Real World is on top of it. 😔

I hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

Yes, everyone received a LIFE sentence without due process. Welcome to the new United States of Authoritarianism.

Ftr, while the President said “there was no exception” for tech on Friday, the Customs document calls it an “exception.” Which is all quite exceptional. (Thanks to @mbandman.bsky.social for the link.)

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

My mom called. She listened to the podcast today. “Great job today, my honey. But I’m not 80 yet!” My apologies, mom! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I increased my monthly donation to the ACLU. If you can afford to send them a few bucks, or a few bucks more than usual, that'd probably be helpful.

Harvard University: “We have informed the [Trump Administration] through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 view.hu.harvard.edu?qs=351b45ebf...

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

We need to give up the framing that they imprisoned a man in El Salvador “mistakenly.” Their actions prove this is intentional. Did they mean for this to be the trial run? Don’t know. But they’re running hard with it. That’s not a “mistake.” That’s fascism.

Btw guys thank you for tolerating my crashouts, I have no idea why you keep doing that

There we go. Support this man.

Utah!! "The arena has a roughly 15,000-seat capacity, according to the university. An estimated 1,000 more packed the arena floor, and about 4,000 crowded outside the arena..." utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/04/13/b...

No one on TV does a better job of exploring complex issues in depth than @velshi.bsky.social @msnbc.com. The segment on American manufacturing this morning was terrific. Especially Jeff Sonnenfeld from Yale saying “The frat boys are driving the car off the cliff. And the driver is drunk.”

The majority of attempted book bans in 2024 were for books about LGBTQ people or people of color. We have a right to read and learn about our communities, free from censorship.

It is a sad time in the U.S. when stuff like this needs to be distributed. Please share and/or print and share with anyone you know who might be a target. www.riaclu.org/sites/defaul...

All the “don’t tread on me” types sure want the Boise mayor thrown in jail for flying a pride flag.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian invasion of Ukraine is Russian fault. To stop this war, we need to stop Russia.

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

The Librarians is a must-see documentary about the recent history of book banning in the US
