“This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer. My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE/the Trump admin have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud’s support for Palestinian freedom.”

Elon Musk is now attacking Tesla's regulators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is DOGE's latest target. This is after Musk attacked - FAA (which investigated SpaceX) - USAID (which investigated Starlink) - CFPB (which would regulate X as a payment app)

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month. He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵

I, a Muslim, went to an all boys Jesuit Catholic high school, Bellarmine, where we were taught the concept of "men for others," "faith through service," and agape. I can spot fake Christians. It isn't hard with the Trump Administration.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

“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.”

Just saw Stephen Miller outside Tysons Mall getting into a car with his security Told him to his face that he's hurting American families. He didn't look up and his security told me I need to keep moving. I was with my son and holding a Lego bag. These men are weak, cruel cowards.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

9 of the top 10 poorest states are Red states. Blue counties are 71% of the U.S. economy while Red counties are only 29%. So if you ever wondered how stupid Trump’s tariff & trade war is, consider that he’s destroying what little economic opportunity Red states have, rather than admit he’s wrong.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.
