Mr. Abrego Garcia's lawyers fire back: "The dichotomy between the lip service Government lawyers have paid the Court about supposed efforts to comply and the hostility and intransigence displayed by the White House and cabinet members has been stark and chilling."

facing forward, Rob Bonta!

Would probably be a good idea if California @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov did a quick video statement describing the legality/illegality of what is happening and the legal basis for the position the Gov. intends to take. Better than letting confusion build and folks hashing it out on social media.

#LA #MartialLaw #Trump Send troops to LA?

#DEI #ADA #Audism #Deaf #Captioning OK so I will stop complaining about no captions for the deaf. That's you, MSNBC! A whole lot of you just can't be bothered to provide access to the deaf. So I crank up the volume and use speech-to-text on my phone and now my roommate can complain about me!

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory.”

Notice how quickly trump send National Guard troops to L.A. to calm immigration protests but refused to do the same on Jan. 6 when his supporters were storming the Capitol.

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.

Definitely sounds like a guy Dems should embrace www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

The other thing about the militarized teams deployed on deportations is that they are increasingly a coalition of the willing that scrambles chains of command across various dept's and agencies (DHS, ICE, FBI, CBP, BOP, etc), creating what amounts to a personalized militia loyal only to Trump. 🧵

New in PN: Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated." — @adamserwer.bsky.social

Congratulations to Coco Gauff for winning her first French Open title! We really LOVE this.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

#Jan6.2 Trump is storming the Capitol again, this time under shade of law that he himself created. "We conclude that, under the present circumstances, SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work." SCOTUS

#SSA #SCOTUS "Social Security Administration (SSA) is dedicated to protecting the privacy & security of your personal information. They do so through adherence to federal laws & internal policies, including the Privacy Act of 1974" SSA violated the federal Fair Privacy Act, Supreme Court enabled.

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

ICE made up lies about gang affiliation so that they could terrorize a child's birthday party. newrepublic.com/post/196138/...

“He’s not a strongman. He’s not even a leader. He’s a man throwing a tantrum because the world won’t revolve around him.” Trump’s allies are turning on him—Musk, Barrett, Powell—and he’s losing his grip. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-emp...

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

There it is. Elon Musk publicly admitting that he bought the 2024 election.

Harvard isn’t violating a law. They’re just killing, you know, the vibe. (The vibe is state-imposed ideology on higher ed.)

#LOC "First published in 1971 (by Scarecrow Press), Prejudices and Antipathies marked the opening salvo in the fight to rid the Library of Congress Subject Headings of bias." And now, under Trump?

1/ New in the Abrego Garcia case, the Judge has just granted his lawyers' request for permission to file sanctions against the government, which is very unusual.

Dept. of Education funds states and school districts, including low income schools & special education. It oversees Pell Grants & student loans. Republicans are trying to destroy protections for vulnerable students & steal taxpayer dollars. Fight back!

Yikes

Trump and Republicans’ attacks on public broadcasting are direct attacks on the free press. NPR, PBS, and others keep every community in America safe and informed. They’re an essential public good and we should increase their funding, not cut it.

If you’re a stranger who sends me a very long email ranting about a social media post I made, please rest assured that I will absolutely read your manifesto in full, sit and think about the very valid points you’ve made and then work tirelessly to adjust my life accordingly.

A guy who heads a right-wing group told Congress today that I am a "Democratic 'super-lawyer' whose partisanship is unrivaled." I feel seen...
