When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.

May Day protest in Boston!

I did not believe this pic was actually real, but it is in fact a real photo on the Reuters wire www.reutersconnect.com/item/us-nati...

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Big changes are coming for student loan borrowers as Republicans take the ax to many programs that made college more affordable. Here's what to know: bit.ly/42COZLM

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

Not “deported”. “Illegally removed;” “kidnapped;” “trafficked”. Pick your high crime and misdemeanor of choice

American. Citizens. Cannot. Be. Deported. I know we all want to be concise, but we simply cannot use the shorthand terms of the fascists when they describe wildly illegal & unconstitutional things. Extrajudicial renditions. Kidnappings. Wildly unconstitutional fascism. All right there as options.

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

Law professor with a reminder that “deported” is a legal term that you don’t apply to an illegal process.

I've known Judge Dugan for a long time. We have overlapping social circles and she's come to Pi Day. Before she became a judge, she was a legal aid attorney and a referee for lawyer discipline cases. Absolutely, we butted heads on the latter. This is pure unmitigated authoritarian bullshit.

people will I guess say they didn't vote for deporting American toddlers without due process. but they absolutely did. 1

Good Night New England! - Sunset from Boston Harbor!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

In retrospect, Infinity War is a better *film*, but Endgame was a near perfect *experience* that showed that fan service could be fun for everyone, not just gatekeeping nerds

Pam Bondi said on Fox that the FBI’s arrest of a county judge is “sending a very strong message.” Yes, Pam, and that message is, this country is being ruled by fascist traitors.

The Boston Citgo sign's lease with the developer of the building it sits on is extended to 2048 ensuring its continued visibility on the Boston skyline. SEE: www.wcvb.com/article/citg...

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

If they can arrest a judge for interfering with immigration, then they can arrest a president for interfering with an election.

has Donald Trump's plane left for the Vatican yet? good, let's dump all his shit in the ocean and change the locks on America

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

This is a great thread about the ins and outs of what’s happening in Milwaukee right now. Massachusetts has also been grappling with an incident of ICE seizing people from a courtroom and how it has disrupted an ongoing case, as well as sparked debate are about how best to handle the situation

So let me get this straight, the government wants to PAY women to have babies, then arrest them if they have a miscarriage, limit food and healthcare once the child is born, and they overturned the bill to produce baby formula. Remove lunches when they are school age and make the kids work a job.

Holy crap

Tomorrow is my birthday. I want nothing more than for our democracy to be saved. Second choice would be that lots of people pre-order Loudmouth: Emma Goldman vs. America (A Love Story.) Thanks @barnesandnoble.com for this birthday present!

The American Association of University Professors and other groups will ask a federal judge in Massachusetts to block the Trump administration’s revocation of visas and detention of noncitizen students and scholars nationwide. The lawsuit follows a wave of over 1,000 visa cancellations

True

I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process. I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.
