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.

El Salvador won't return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. trump and the DOJ are ignoring SCOTUS, in essence declaring the executive branch can act first and claim immunity from consequences later. WAKE. THE. FUCK. UP!!!

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

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 we go. Support this man.

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.

Just to be clear: 1) Ru first attacked Ukraine in 2014 and the war raged throughout Trump’s first term and he didn’t stop Ru; 2) there’s one and only one way of “preventing” Ru’s 2022 invasion: Ukraine’s unconditional capitulation. He’s angry at Ukraine for refusing to surrender.

I want them all unmasked. I want Noem, Homan, and Miller to someday be tried for their crimes against humanity. Ditto for the ICE agents and other officers who abuse innocent tourists, college students, and refugees When all this is over, I want justice. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

here's today's post, in which I try to wade through the latest tariff incoherence — "these tariffs aren’t dead, they’re just resting." thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Please read this by the great @sifill.bsky.social . We must come together to pass this test. ⬇️ Our humanity demands it.

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

President Trump's popular vote victory was among the narrowest in modern U.S. history; it exceeds only the two elections (of Bush in 2000 and himself in 2016) in which the loser of the popular vote became the president.

This is a dynamic right out of my book #Strongmen... And here is my Lucid essay on autocratic backfire: open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

I feel like the fact that Martha Stewart was sent to prison for far less than what Donald Trump and his band of clowns have done and are credibly accused of should be a bigger story.

boosting because good and we need more good

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry. He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud. This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

from today's post about Jailbird Pete Navarro's use of an imaginary playmate economist to sell his gonzo tariff theories to Donny Dumbfuck — thanks for reading! link to the whole ball of wax is here: bit.ly/4jogDl5 (longer excerpt in the alt text)

Perfect MG moment.

We need to fight with every tool we have to protect the Boundary Waters, one of America’s greatest wilderness areas. That’s why I’m introducing the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection Act.

If he was in seventh grade and was talking about another student publicly like this, somebody like me would be asked to evaluate the boy who was chronically bullying other students.

Crockett: "If we are gonna talk about efficiency, let's talk about the fact that as of March 30, Trump's golfing has cost us approximately $26 million. And the last time I checked, we're not getting anything in return for that ... he decided he was going to golf instead of receiving four heroes."

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

8 April 1941 | Norwegian Jewish boy, Sam Becker, was born in Bergen. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 3 March 1943 and was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection together with his mother Ida.

Tell 'em, John!! 👏👏👏

Rep. RASKIN: The DOJ tried stopping you from coming today. They sent two armed marshals to your home to intimidate you. Why did you decide to come? Former DOJ pardon attorney: I don’t want to be complicit in the misuse of Justice Department resources to do political favors.

Heads up!

Remember when he released all that water in California to "fix the fire problem" but it didn't have anything to do with the fires and fucked tons of farmers in the process? Yeah, that's the guy who's telling us to be patient and brave while he's fixing our economy.
