"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus. As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process & habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold. I cannot emphasize enough how dire this is for our nation.

Our Common Ground (@cgroundpolitics.bsky.social) team spoke to dozens of participants at today's separatist rally. Today's conversations reinforced my sense that this is not our grandparents' populism or alienation. 🔗https://open.substack.com/pub/drjaredwesley/p/western-alienation-20

It continues. This will grow if left to fester. Next is "suspected marxists". Then "suspected dissidents".

I see a lot of people falling into the "this is pointless" trap, and I can only say it so many ways — though I suspect I will have to write something specifically about it on this front — but the bottom line is that we must expect compliance. Anything less is just making noncompliance easier.

Five will only be enough if the people going there aren't staying for very long. Might be killed there or shipped somewhere else - either way, it's the end of freedom in America.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

A thing Dems should steal from Trump to keep stuff like this in the public consciousness is hammering nicknames to keep these things top of mind. He's not Pete Hegseth anymore he's "Signal Pete Hegseth" or "Signal Pete" or just "Signal"

Voters were told that Trump is a joke. But enough of them didn't care to listen or couldn't be bothered to think through what he said. Now America is the joke.

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread): 1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

A lot of people still think these protests are about gearing up for 2026 or 2028. They don’t understand yet that this only ends with him fleeing on a plane to Riyadh or Moscow. But they’ll learn.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

So MAGA is admitting Trump is weak and ineffectual. The President of the most powerful country on Earth can't convince Bukele of El Salvador to send back innocent men picked and deported to his prisons. Is that what you're saying, MAGA?

Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

Creative protests & resistance to fascism are happening everywhere. Keep standing up, even in the reddest states. It matters that others see your courage.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

My suggestion is to turn that hate into resolve and action, as best you can. Elon and his fellow travelers can handle hate against them, but not reason with action.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
