Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

This Administration is trying to erase a human being. Don't allow it. We are all connected.

US-BORN US CITIZEN BEING HELD FOR ICE IN FLORIDA HIS FAMILY ALREADY PROVED CITIZENSHIP TO ICE DAYS AGO floridaphoenix.com/2025/04/17/u...

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

SCOOP: Internal Palantir Slack messages obtained by @josephcox.bsky.social show the company did a recent sprint to build a tool that helps ICE find the physical locations of people who have been marked for deportation. www.404media.co/leaked-palan...

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

They said boycotts don't work... They were wrong. Bring Bezos down!

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I can’t believe he’s not wearing a tie. Outrageous display of disrespect.

Sending an all-female crew into outer space for a few minutes, at the cost of millions — while women down here on earth are dying without reproductive care… is a choice.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Megan brought Queen Latifah out at Coachella 😮‍💨🔥 love to see Queen get her flowers

The number of dead has risen to 34 and over 100 injured from Russia’s Palm Sunday terrorist attack in Ukraine.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

73 million people rely on Social Security

This is personal gerrymandering. It's Jim Crow "guess how many jellybeans in the jar" level of corruption. Call you reps and Senators and Governor. Now. And often.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

If you’ve left Twitter but also want to know why your Social Security check is late, you’re screwed.

One in five Americans rely on Medicaid. Republicans just greenlit the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Whose side are they on?

80th day of Trump's bribery scheme operating out in the open.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

NEW VIDEO: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a major voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine democracy. Paige and I break it down. youtu.be/XS8aePRgFU4?...

Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo at a private dinner: "And those stupid protests that occur in the state capital and is paid by the Democratic Party. That momentum and those crowds sizes isn’t because they're pissed...It’s because they're getting paid. So don’t lose sight of that."

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches. They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

According to a source, when Musk privately messages associates and confidants about reports from federal staffers about how their lives have been wrecked, the Tesla CEO is known to react with laugh-crying emojis. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $275K in stocks after tariffs were announced. Interesting timing, huh? Martha Stewart went to prison for far less.

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.
