The US simply doesn't need tourism, pharmaceuticals, universities, doctors, non-profits, coffee, stable currency, vaccines, steel, semiconductors, hurricane tracking, safe food, textiles, national forests, wine, civil rights, trains, scientists, minerals, chocolate, lumber, safe flights, video games

A 19-year old U.S. citizen was traveling from Albuquerque to Tucson. He was arrested and detained by ICE for 10 days, before his family showed a judge his identification & he was finally released. news.azpm.org/p/news-artic...

Two backpacking German teenagers who had obtained ESTA approval from DHS were detained by CBP at the Honolulu airport, strip searched, jailed overnight, and ultimately deported to Japan because immigration officials weren’t satisfied with their lodging arrangements. beatofhawaii.com/why-these-ha...

DOGE is a few different things. But one of the biggest is take control of the federal bureaucracy and hand out all the contracts to yours and your friends companies. Then privatize a bunch more stuff and gives those contracts to your cos and your friends' too. Smash and Grab, national edition.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court. Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

i hope other elected dems are taking note - this is where the bar is now. get out there and do something. put your own ass on the line for us.

This is a member of his own party.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I’ve resigned myself to this conclusion

Trump tried to disappear a U.S. citizen

The food supply in the United States is about to get very, very dangerous. www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

NEW: The CFPB has been gutted. More than 1,400 workers received RIF notices this afternoon, agency sources tell me. Around 200 employees are left. www.wired.com/story/cfpb-h...

This should send chills down your spine.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

We LOVE this...what a great & simple way to remind people what's important. Can't stand crowds? Do stuff like this! Or our TRS campaign, for that matter, or visits to senators' offices, or, or, or....there are ALWAYS things you can do. Care for each other. #StopTheCoup

The majority of Nazi concentration camps were built and operated outside of Germany.

Highly disturbing story about DOGE but this detail is particularly chilling www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Every day.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

WA! Call @murray.senate.gov 202-224-2621 & @cantwell.senate.gov 202-224-3441 to tell them to back up Van Hollen, including going to El Salvador to secure Abrego Garcia's return! Not in WA? Call your own senators! What are they even for, if they don't step up in a constitutional crisis like this?

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

47: "We're going to take Canada and Greenland and the Panama Canal and run drone sorties in Mexico!" Also 47: "Aw shucks we can't return this legal US resident and work permit holder because El Salvador said no takebacks" Fuck these fascists.

Needed some good news, so I made a 'Fuck you, make me' feed to counter the fascist doom tsunami. bsky.app/profile/did:...

And if you think Trump is planning at stopping at immigrants, think again. He just said “home-growns are next” and told Bukele he’s “gonna need to build about 5 more places.” Those “places” are concentration camps.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.
