Erik Prince visited Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in August 2024 & gushed that he was “very impressed” with Bukele’s prison system. Bukele posted this clip from their meeting. 1/

Don’t look away. Please keep paying attention.

Biden: Fewer than 100 days into this new administration, they have done so much damage and destruction. It is kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon.

Merwil Gutiérrez is the same age as Barron Trump. ICE agents realized he was not whom they meant to arrest in a targeted operation. They deported him to the the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador anyway. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A 19-year-old Venezuelan in New York City reportedly was apprehended by Trump administration immigration authorities and deported to El Salvador despite agents’ realizing he was not whom they meant to arrest in a targeted operation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As the Trump administration scrambles to source rare earth minerals from countries other than China, it doesn’t help that Trump has alienated so many of our traditional trading partners. The US car industry—EVs especially—will be hit hard for years. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n... "This screenshot shows a large spike in outbound traffic leaving the NLRB system." ⬇️

Big win for the Top 1%: - Under Trump, IRS staff to shrink by 1/3, dramatically reducing the amount of revenue the federal government is able to collect - Remaining staff will be expected to collaborate with ICE, increasing number of innocents sent to torture camps www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

I'm shocked that the same Supreme Court that told Trump he was above the law is now having trouble getting Trump to obey the law.

CONVICTED BY TABLOID: Trump administration's case against Mahmoud Khalil is based on unverified tabloid articles and invented accusations that are clearly erroneous because timelines don’t match. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.

"They are killing us... They're increasing the amount of smog that is in our community by 30 to 60%. They're also putting 16.7 tons of formaldehyde into the air with these 35 turbines that they don't have a single permit to use"—@justinjpearson.bsky.social unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/elon...

Sounds about right.

Trump’s Huge Tariff Exemption Grift by @jonathanalter.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/oldgoats...

Yesterday they refused to answer two of the three questions ordered. Today's refuses to address, in any way, all three. None of this has anything to do with the order. This is open defiance of a district court backed by a unanimous three-judge circuit ruling and a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling.

Trump’s tariffs will bring about an orgy of corruption youtu.be/3xz7BGAJYhg?...

You could argue that the defining trait of modern techno-fascism is that the ruling class simply believes anything not made by them is inherently worthless. They don't want us to be able to make a living from what we create because they think it's a waste of resources for us to do it at all.

"There is no normalcy to wish for. There is no compromise with tyranny. At this moment, all you can do is stand up for something." @lolgop.bsky.social www.thefarce.org/theres-no-no...

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

Read this, which aligns with what I’ve been calling “Rapture Politics” for a long time now.

This is worth re-upping.

And yet the Trump Administration keeps telling the court it would be impossible to ask El Salvador to return the innocent people Trump shipped there.

"Trump prefers to shoot before aiming... His decision-making has been so erratic that at one point this week, (his) top trade official was interrupted in the middle of testimony before Congress because Trump had just changed the policy the official was defending." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o...

AOC: The crumbling of our rights and protections. Understand that all of this is what it means and what it feels like to be governed by billionaires. This is what oligarchy feels like.. it is this system that has brought us the most corrupt administration in American history..

Trump: We need tariffs to bring iPhone manufacturing back to the United States. Also Trump: No tariffs on iPhones. www.npr.org/2025/04/12/n...

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.
