cross posting @geo3550.bsky.social: this morning we received news of the FBI executing search warrants against multiple pro-Palestine organizers at the university, including at least one GEO member. This is an alarming escalation by the university and state. The situation is developing; more soon.

The slide into fascism is being made possible by the Democratic party that is building a brand around opposing it. Mass protest movements needs to understand this reality and push back against the institutions making it possible.

Any other company would be tanking after an earnings report like this. But Elon claimed he'll be spending more time at Tesla, and investors have deluded themselves into believing that it's a good thing. Musk is the brand damage. And #teslatakedown isn't going anywhere.

Just a reminder that the white nationalist Great Replacement Theory that's being pushed by Trump, Musk and their toadies has been responsible for multiple mass shootings in the last decade. This is the threat to Americans' safety, not innocent immigrants who've committed no crimes here.

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

love when our billionaire overlords make it so that billionaires can evade taxes by firing irs agents and doj investigators and dismiss multimillion-dollar corporate fines levied before the chevron repeal because they're "unconstitutional" but you poor saps, you have to pay up right now

ICYMI, in response to the Times story today of the Venezuelan man disappeared by the Trump administration on March 15, DHS has acknowledged for the first time that the man is currently being imprisoned in CECOT. It shouldn't take a major media story to get DHS to say who they're paying to imprison.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Let's be clear: North Carolina—and eleven other states—have trigger laws that automatically end Medicaid expansion if federal support drops below 90%. This approach automatically throws over 600,000 North Carolinians off of their coverage.

Today the Supreme Court will hear Mahmoud v. Taylor. Conservative Christian and Muslim parents argue that they have a free exercise right to receive notice and opt-out their children from any public school materials that offends their religious beliefs. It's a frontal attack on public ed & equality

While we rightfully focus on the March deportations to El Salvador, don’t forget the African and Asian migrants quietly removed to Panama in February. Both groups deserve #dueprocess protections under U.S. and international law. @MSNBC_reports #Immigration apnews.com/article/pana...

Stories like this + my own experience trying to get information about arrests makes me thing that there's a whole lot of lying going on. (I am sure the current admin doesn't care a lot about "documentation" but here it seems DHS just point-blank lied.)

I don’t think enough people actualize how gonzo the anti trans shit is in this country. This is a state Supreme Court passing a policy specifically for one person. It impacts exactly one person.

This is it. "The Trump administration's attack on difference, the idea that people who are different are a tragedy and a burden and that they have nothing to contribute — that is fascism. And it is a danger to almost everyone."

I think it's in Upside Down by Galleano that he notes that during the crusades Europeans weaponized the fact that Muslims washed up so often (at least before praying 5x a day) as a sign that they were dirty. If they were clean they wouldn't have to wash so often. This idea of innate cleanliness /1
