This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

Working through these documents sent to grantees who had NEH grants terminated. So bizarre. They're like the Nigerian Prince version of grant terminations. They're not even sent from a government email but rather a onmicrosoft dot com address. So the Microsoft equivalent of a gmail account.

Seven quintillion times this

Every American should know that the Chamber of Commerce and American Bankers Association literally teamed up with the Trump administration on Monday to end the CFPB rule limiting big credit card providers to an $8 late fee. Today, in light of the agreement, the rule was vacated.

A 1000 times this.

Karoline Leavitt MOCKING the El Salvadoran immigrant mistakenly deported. “Based on the sensationalism of many of the people in this room, you would think we deported a candidate for Father of the year.”

China is openly mocking us because we are openly mockable right now.

Trump targets NPR and PBS like a dictator torching books; his $1.1B slash is a war on truth, silencing local stations and choking public access to fact. Like an asteroid, this strike leaves media deserts in its wake; propaganda thrives where education dies. www.rawstory.com/tru...

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

Selma. The Trump administration pulled funding meant for Selma’s schools, along with $5 million in additional funding for a statewide reading program. www.al.com/educationlab...

“Make it worse” was most common response Long term and short term Per our new ⁦‪CBS News‬⁩ polling

Remember the banned children’s book about the true story of a male penguin couple? Is THAT why he tariffed the penguins?

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

You can call your lawyer, refuse to open the doors, but the cosplay ICE folks who show zero identification will break your car windows and force you into custody. 1933 would like it’s fascism back please newbedfordlight.org/lawyer-feder...

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

We’re now deep in the red zone for our constitution & democracy. They disappeared a lawful resident. The courts ordered his return. They refused, saying they can’t force Bukele to do so. Bukele now says he can’t send him back. If this holds, they can disappear anyone. No due process. Permanently.🧵

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Everything is breathtakingly stupid

@kevinhearne.bsky.social as a new widow, I want to thank you for The Hermit Next Door. You completely captured what it's like for me, and I feel seen. Wonderful stuff.

Here you have two sitting presidents both claiming to not have the power to return a man they erroneously deported and detained. All while Trump also floated sending *US citizens* to El Salvador for crimes.

People all over the world see the mental instability, gross incompetence, and fascist aspirations of the person occupying the White House. They know how far America has fallen. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-just-got...

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

In Holy Week of all times can Christians in the Trump/Rubio camp see it’s wrong to arrest someone just for what they say? That Rumeysa is not from the US makes no difference, either in law or Christian tradition. If anything it should be easier to see she deserves her freedom.

The US is starting to be treated like the antidemocratic rogue state it is rapidly becoming.

We haven’t forgotten.

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

From lead, to asbestos, to teflon, to plastics, the past century has been a showcase of short term greed ignoring long term science at the expense of our health and safety when trying to sell us "the new miracle material." And we're now paying for it with lower fertility and more cancer.

Can’t believe it’s #america 💔

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.
