Zelensky wore a sweater and pants to show solidarity with his troops and he got destroyed, but Bukele showed up looking like the manager of a Staten Island nightclub and no one said a goddamn word.

“Man of the people”

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

Wow

You should care about Palestinians because they are people but you should also care about them because what they are doing to them is what Western governments are seeing if they can do to all of us in the future

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

If we don’t stand up for one, we’re all doomed.

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

This is good assertive re-framing. I’d also like to see/ hear media (just listened to NPR for ex( stop talking about $9b in “cuts to Harvard” when they’re cuts to federally funded research eg research on behalf of the federal govt eg on behalf of…us.

Thank you, Harvard. Let’s hope every other private university follows suit when it’s their turn.

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.

Waiting for all the people who’ve been telling me I’m fear-mongering to say he said something else….. Wake up folks, before it’s too late and first amendment and due process are completely gone. We’re more than 50% of the way there on this road to full-on fascism.

Can this finally put an end to the idea that Republicans are fiscally responsible?

Have you called your Senators today? Time to do it now!

There are some damn courageous kids out there! May we strive to be the adults they deserve.

Have never been on a cruise and definitely won’t start now!

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

My latest. On the way antisemitism has become redefined as support for Palestinian life. And how that has led to the supposed fight against antisemitism becoming bigotry itself. And how that, then, has led to the failure to fight actual antisemitism in our midst, endangering Jews along the way.

The MAGA Right is convinced that all "left"-coded ideas, anything that challenges hierarchies of race, gender, religion and wealth, that deviates from white Christian patriarchal dominance, is fundamentally Un-American - dangerous imports introduced by subversive "globalist elites."

Absolute fascism ideas in the open. Abhorrent.

We are doomed.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

I can’t wait for the worst people in the world to crawl back under the fucking rocks they came out from. Once more for the a-hole transphobes in the back: trans rights are human rights and they always will be.

Way to keep it classy, Marco and team. How embarrassing.

These kinds of things are why we must continue to speak up and out. It matters. All the small ripples will add up.

Blistering dissent from Justice Jackson. Tragic.

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...
