Taking the short stairs again?

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

A president who was truly committed to opposing political violence and standing up against antisemitism would have condemned the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family by now.

The United States government arrested Rumeysa Ozturk for writing an op-ed, then defamed her with outright lies. I encourage you to read and share the sworn affidavits linked below by the faculty and students who know her best. She must be freed immediately. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The stakes could not be clearer. The arrest, detention, & planned deportation of Rümeysa Öztürk is predicated exclusively on her engagement in constitutionally protected speech. The government is relying on nothing other than her op-ed. An unmitigated disgrace. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

My constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped by DHS officials, had her constitutional rights violated, & has yet to be charged with a crime. I sat down with @theintercept.com to discuss Trump’s dangerous attacks on our students & immigrants, & how we're meeting this with resistance.

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

Look at the we-don’t-give-a-shit-heedlessness of this official statement. A whole cabinet department without ordinary shame.

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.

Opinion | Donald Trump is one of the worst presidents in American history. The only way to beat him is to adopt his policies and become more like him. by Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social and Gretchen Whitmer have destroyed their own political futures. Appeasement does not work. When the post-Tr*mp era comes, will not forget which Dems collaborated.
