For fuck's sake, this. Pick one. Pick them all. Pick something else. Do. Something.

We filed ours later than we have in years and that was knowing we were likely due a refund we can def use for moving expenses. Just the whole idea of taxes under this admin is nauseating. My tax dollars are funding what exactly now? Nothing they're supposed to...

To quote Timothy Snyder (again), DO NOT SURRENDER IN ADVANCE!

I wrote this within hours of Trump's inauguration, & I'm doubling down now as we wait for the federal judiciary's response to DOJ's refusal to even attempt to reverse the "mistaken" exile of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It's still okay to notice that things are illegal. Because if we don't, they won't be

They laughed, the media laughed, but I'm not laughed. Are you? I certainly don't think they're joking at all.

Ooof. Well done, #barnesandnoble

They got the astronauts back. They got the Tates back. They allegedly can't get Abrego Garcia back. I'm sure race has nothing to do with any of it 😒

Man who was prohibited from giving court testimony due to unreliability in Wisconsin now responsible for determining a makeup artist was a member of TdA. I'm sure nothing went wrong there. Surely not. 🤬

There appears to be something in my eye... 💜

Important in all this to remember that the 13th amendment abolished slavery "except as punishment for crime" which is what gives us penal labor. Only 7 states have closed that loophole. Seven. If you don't think that's relevant in this moment, I have news for you.

Thanks, Skywriter, for the easily readable and shareable version of my giant thread about immigrants being added to the Master Death Record by SSA and the DOGE bags. Feel free to share this version widely!!!!!

I have seen a lot of detainees say a lot of things to a lot of immigration judges, but never anything as selfless as this. "I hope the urgency you deemed fit for me is afforded to the hundreds of others who have been here without hearing for months."

As MAGA immigration and economic policy planners are well aware, the two worst mass deportation campaigns in US history were initiated during a depression (the Mexican "repatriation") and a recession (Operation Wetback). I'm kind of sorry that you also now know that

Here's a thought - 1. Tax. The. Billionaires. 2. Close tax loopholes (personal and corporate). 3. Stop treating military spending like a fucking sacred cow never to be touched unless it's getting increased. Problem addressed much better than by whatever the fuck this admin is doing.

The more they dance around this one, and particularly dance around even giving their own lawyer info to look halfway competent in court, the more I fear that this poor guy is dead and they know it.

As someone who has C-PTSD from an abusive relationship and SA, the past few months has been an absolute goddamn delight, lemme tell y'all 🙃

Just what I wanted to see as we prepare to list our house and move across the country 🙃

The only logical response to this sort of intimidation nonsense, really.

Are we really surprised though? I mean, this is literally the Bad Place and the Upside Down at the same time.
