Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

I haven't left my Christian faith, but I am disappointed in my Christian church.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

WATCH: “The Supreme Court said to bring him back! I’m pissed!” @ChuckGrassley chewed up at an Iowa town hall over #KilmarAbregoGarcia (PSA for Tennessee: town halls are those things @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty never have 🐔 )

Bring them all back, Chuck, and give them their day in court.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

So they don't understand large numbers and/or are relying on our inability to understand large numbers. Reminds me of Chem 101 and the minds of my fellow students being blown by the concept of Avagadro's number.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Wild story: the acting Social Security chief was warned that terminating data collection contracts with Maine would increase fraud. But he responded that it didn't matter because it was more important to punish Maine's governor for disagreeing with Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

The long-running federal program that publicly identifies the nation’s worst nursing homes appears to be suspended under the Trump administration’s ongoing policy of limiting the flow of information from federal agencies, Clark Kauffman reports. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/03/12/f...

Re-upping this again as more people read about the Khalil case. More information to come, but nothing in WP and NYT so far contradicts original reporting. Again, it DOES NOT MATTER what you think about him or his cause. Either government is bound by the law for all of us or we're all at their mercy.

The Trump administration’s efforts to claw back federal grant money, led by the world’s richest person, will affect access to fresh fruit for some of the nation’s poorest people on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.
