Re: @hcrichardson.bsky.social report on Trump refusing to ask for Mr Garcia’s return, SCOTUS’s “conduct of foreign affairs” ruling loophole makes Trump beyond the law. DUE PROCESS IS DEAD!😡 @tribelaw.bsky.social @glennkirschner.bsky.social heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-14-2...

My response to @joycewhitevance.bsky.social reporting Trump has DEFIED THE SUPREME COURT. We must fight lies with a massive, sustained, very public display of truth-telling based on the Occupy Wall Street model. @jerilryan.bsky.social @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social joycevance.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Mohsen Mahdawi, legal US resident, was just arrested during a citizenship interview. He had been publicly targeted by far-right pro-Israel groups for months. *A federal judge quickly issued a temporary restraining order preventing Mahdawi's removal from Vermont.* www.huffpost.com/entry/mohsen...

I’ll never believe the attack on Gov. Shapiro was anything other than antisemitism. Not Gaza, not Israel, but sheer hatred of Jews @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is absolutely right.

Sarah Palin’s eight-year defamation case against the NYT is going to trial this week. If she wins, it is all but certain to become a rallying cry for Trump and other conservatives in their war against the media. @katierobertson.bsky.social and I will be covering. 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/b...

Can you spell dictatorship? Also, Trump in “Off with their heads!” mode here! @katiecouric.bsky.social @60minutes.bsky.social

I hope @aoc.bsky.social has watched this film or will do so soon. It came out when #OccupyWallStreet was active. @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @bandylee.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social youtu.be/EKnoUbDIpjo?...

this thing is going to sell so much better than it would have, simply because it is so clearly the anti-Cybertruck

We don’t have a government. We have a terrorist organization masquerading as a government. If only the Democrats acted as if they understood this truth. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @malcolmnance.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Per his attorneys, Mahmoud Khalil asked to address the court at his immigration hearing today, where a judge gave the green light to the Trump admin to deport him. “This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me to this court, 1,000 miles away from my family.”

ICYMI: we talked about chaos in the markets, whether Trump voters will notice a severe recession, and why so many nominally liberal institutions are folding like limp dishrags before Trump's attacks

Trump appealed the judge’s ruling that the AP must be granted access, because Trump HATES the 1st Amendment/Freedom of the Press! @katiecouric.bsky.social deadline.com/2025/04/trum...
