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

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

.@DavidAFrench The Trump administration "reached for presidential war powers to grant it the ability to sweep people out of the country, at will." The Supreme Court ruled that they're entitled to due process before deportation. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/o...

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

WE'RE ENTITLED? If Bernie's Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would've been solvent for 75 years, benefits would've increased by $2,400, and 93% of Americans would've paid Zero more in taxes. The only 'entitled' one is Musk.

Okay. The SAVE act, which is blatant voter suppression, passed the House. It will likely pass the Senate, Because fuck them, and get signed by 47. DUE TO THAT, I propose we make sure any who can afford it go out and get the documentation they need to circumvent the suppression.
