I know others have gone into detail throughout the day, but I just want to make sure I highlight how important Judge Paula Xinis's order from today in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case is. It is about discovery — the evidence the gov't is to turn over — but her points are sharp and the context is key.

"They are drowning us in a sea of lies — but we still remember reality." Day 145 of daily, non-stop protest in Georgia. #GeorgiaProtests

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

Spot on.

Ooops! Ooopsie! Did we do that? We didn't mean to do that. Definitely don't blame us for doing that. Oops! Day one funding freeze Oops! Ebola Oops! Nuclear security workers Oops! Bird flu Oops! PEPFAR Oops! HHS firings And on and on and on... Now this. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

📌I miss the days three months ago when we had the strongest economy in the world and murderous dictators were our enemies ...

The lies are coming faster and more desperately these days. Keep pressing, friends.

1. In 2025, over 850 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been filed across the United States - the most in US history. Most bills target transgender people. The bills have also grown more extreme, reverting drivers licenses, arresting trans people in bathrooms, and more. Subscribe to support my journalism.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social breaks down each layer of the "sheer lawlessness" of the Trump deportation case. (1/2)

hate that I have to keep re-upping this, but STUDY AFTER STUDY has shown that TRANS PPL POSE NO THREAT to cis ppl in restrooms & other sex-segregated spaces, those studies are detailed in this essay: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-... which has been adapted into this video: youtu.be/nK41ePuOmzY

Griffin is doing anything he can think of to steal the NC SupCo election. Justice Riggs won this election which has been confirmed multiple times. Griffin has no shame and we need to stay loud about this! Action for today: tell one friend, neighbor or family member about this case!

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

Donald Trump does not care about you. Plain and simple. Spread this video far and wide.

The fight continues. Trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are exactly who they say they are. We don't need to wait for our law and politics to catch up to reality. We're living it. We will continue to live it proudly. Trans people need your uncompromising solidarity today.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I genuinely like this! It's lighthearted, but it accepts and admits that there were people who saw all this coming and tried to warn everyone.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

It’s the woke mind virus!

It was amazing. But people need to start thinking of doing this every week/day

"Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging... "An emergency order removes protections covering more than half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service..." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing 1st Amendment.

North Carolina… dis u?? After bragging about their 12-week ban like it was some kind of thoughtful compromise, the state is now rolling out one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country. And honestly? That’s a hard competition to win. buff.ly/DGv1ErA

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Reminder: All People Had To Do Was Fill In A Little Oval Next To The Smart Black Lady’s Name.

This is the biggest, underreported news right now. Republicans are trying to STEAL an election in North Carolina. Straight up. This is a test case for 2026 and 2028. They will never voluntarily give up power again.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money. As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1¢, no one should have to pay to vote.

Re the elections tonight: Wisconsin: a win by any margin is a huge victory. Florida: anything better than a loss of 20 in either district is a victory. Single digits is earth shattering. Do. Not. Let. Them. Spin. The. Narrative. www.threads.net/@rufusgiffor...

1. On Tuesday, voters rejected anti-trans ads, Elon Musk by electing Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It was supposed to be close. She won by 10 points. Dems do NOT need to throw trans people under the bus to win. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats. This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

The point of Senator Booker's filibuster is to be INSPIRED by this man to go find YOUR ROLE, not to wait for them to go save us now. That is not this assignment. Thread of places to go to get started. More coming out of LiST this Thursday.
