"The push is more extensive than administration officials have made public, staffers across multiple federal agencies said, mostly speaking on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the policies publicly." wapo.st/44u84kr

If you aren't disturbed by the fact that a convicted felon is basically sending people to a death sentence, with no due process, then there is something seriously wrong with you… Seriously.

Today is One Boston Day. No one is mentioning it. Is that bc we have now suffered worse horrors than what happened 12 yrs ago? One Boston Day we join together to do an Act of Kindness to counteract the evil that attacked OUR finish line. 1/2

There's always been reason to believe DOGE was hacking govt systems. Now a whistleblower has substantiated it at NLRB, precisely the kind of data compromise labor unions worried about when they sued re DOL.

This is Bert the English Bluebell today and at peak flowering last year Bert appears to have even more flowers this year This is entirely normal as the number of flowers increases with maturity, being dependent on the root system being able to sustain the additional weight

Bezos spending all the tax dollars that he didn’t pay to let his wife play space cowgirl should be enough to persuade anyone to boycott Amazon, no?

You know why European countries are so quiet about the El Salvador situation? Because they started the normalisation of extraterritorial detention of migrants and asylum seekers, often without any due process. The UK’s Rwanda plan. Italy’s attempted plan with Albania. And some still want to do it.

We’re in SW Florida This is why many of our Canadian friends that own homes here left before it took affect. Many have said they are now considering selling unless changes are made. I don’t blame them. This will cost economy greatly

When a sitting President even talks about "deporting" American citizens, it's reached a point that I believe Congress should impeach and remove them. The only way that ever happens is if they disarm the public. And while that part may not have been said, it is definitely implied!

At this point, Judge Xinis should order the immediate return under threat of contempt and let the Supreme Court tell the Administration otherwise.

There is only one way forward. Bring the country to a standstill. Close it down. April 19.

MAGAs know women vote +10 points for Dems over GOP, so rather than try to attract female voters with better ideas, the SAVE Act tries to ban women from voting altogether If your path to ‘win’ is voter suppression, it isn’t democracy you support, it’s dictatorship www.qasimrashid.com/p/magas-are-...

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

When someone is ACTUALLY ABOVE THE LAW there is NO reason for him to follow it! THE SUPREME COURT DID THIS! There is not a SINGLE soul that can force this lunatic to do ANYTHING. And there is NO ONE to enforce court orders on the Regime. NO ONE can save us. REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.

He almost put enough gold stuff in the White House to make it look like the Kremlin. Not quite, but he’ll get there.

He wants you to be scared. It's what he does when he is scared.

Correct.

Remember: nearly every single one of these "cuts" by the White House is actually money that was budgeted by Congress for every university, organization, etc. This funding was part of ongoing operations and planning. The federal government is essentially breaking contracts with every "cut."

Hold Marco Rubio in contempt and then see whether the administration can figure out how to comply with a court order.

The Chinese creators on TikTok exposing all of the luxury brands… Oof.

TAX THE RICH #taxtherich #trumpfascism

AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

New foster kittens arrived. Country’s bad. Gonna hug some kittens about it.

More of this please

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.

It’s days like this that I’m most grateful for Bluesky as well as all of you on here, I don’t feel alone during these horrifically crazy times.

Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

Doesn't feel like the "descent into fascism" anymore, just feels like in-the-thick-of-it fascism 😬
