Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

Then they started sending our neighbors to torture prisons in El Salvador, and I said, "Damn, they didn't put that one in the poem, did they?"

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

You ever notice how when right-wing terrorists commit terrorist acts, the police go really quiet on the motives and you never hear about it again? We need to hear more about what drove the rightwing terrorist who tried to burn Josh Shapiro and his family in their home to commit terrorist arson.

Bluesky should automatically sensor screenshots from X and make you click a button that says “Yes, I wanna see this bullshit and I acknowledge this is a backwards step for my mental health”.

When people upload a screenshot from x they should be forced to check a box that says "I think this screenshot contains information folks will be interested in, I'm not just dunking on a bad opinion from the bad opinion site that people fled because they don't want to see bad opinions like this one"

I have lived through unstable economic and political times before. Tariffs and isolationism are breeding grounds for fascism. We are at strong risk of repeating history.

I know we beat this drum daily, but today especially it’s obvious these are not the actions of a party that anticipates ever losing power.

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.

The U.S. says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. El Salvador also says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. It’s obvious bullshit and depraved to the core.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

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.

We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

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?

We are going to have to have contempt hearings in Abrego Garcia, and the district judge is going to need to start putting people in jail until they comply with the very basic order of “tell me where he is and what you are doing to find out.” I don’t know what else to do.
