A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Aside from being illegal Improperly listing 6,100 people as dead will almost certainly make it easier to “disappear” them Because now they’ve been “erased” And you can be damned sure that American citizens will mistakenly be included as dead Come to think of it That’s probably no mistake at all

This part

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

47's beef with China is personal, based on his own business dealings, and I cannot believe we gotta bear the brunt of this shit because grown ass people don't understand why addressing conflicts of interest with corporate titans who want to run the country is important.

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

He doesn't like the rain, but he sure is adorable in his little rain jacket. ❤️

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

A man is being deported for using his voice. If free speech leads to detention and deportation, this is only the beginning. If Khalil isn't safe, none of us are safe. #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack

The Social Security Administration is now going to use X to make announcements. No more press releases or memos posted to their website. Elon sure is getting his money's worth, isn't he?

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China. Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least. If this really escalates. China will play hardball. China will do two things

He's still dangling us. He's just raised us slightly higher.

Enraging!

Again, they are actively trying to kill us.

They haven't given a timeline, though, so I'm sure this will drag on for as long as possible.

Yes, Trump is tanking the economy, destroying alliances, and actively harming this country, but remember, Congress could vote to reclaim their authority over tariffs but are choosing not to. Call your Congressional reps and call Mike Johnson!

He's a damn idiot with a big ego to feed. He's not playing some economic long game. But he, himself, is looking to make a quick buck in the process.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

Anyone else horrified, but not surprised, by the lavish praise given during yesterday's cabinet meeting? It's a given that's something you see in Russia and North Korea... and now America.

They are so afraid of being gay, that men patting down their bodies, all over, is now their preferred choice, because you know, gay beams. 😂 Dude, just say you want to feel the touch of a man. It's ok.

What an absolute ass.

The fight for democracy is the cause of our time. I created Democracy Docket to be fearlessly pro-democracy. No corporate overlords, no compromises, it will never obey. Sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

NC House Bill 806 would remove class size limits in K-3rd grades & allow up to half of school teachers to be unlicensed. Lowering standards now and then I bet they'll push even harder for "school choice" since they've purposefully broken the public system. Call your state reps now!

"The Court simply holds that under the 1st Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists — be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere — it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints," McFadden wrote in his ruling.

something I haven't seen yet: isn't a massive increase in the range of goods worth smuggling going to be a big boost to exactly the kind of cross-border organized crime the WH claims it wants to stop?

Darren & Phillip make the cutest dog jammies!

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

A democracy doesn't do this. A democracy has due process.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

🇺🇸 The US is withdrawing troops from the key military aid hub for Ukraine in Jasionka, Poland, per US Army Europe & Africa Command. The vital work of facilitating military aid will continue under Polish and NATO leadership, with US support. www.europeafrica.army.mil/ArticleViewP...

Call your reps and request that they call on this regime to return Kilmar Garcia to the US. Trump is taking his "administrative error" to the Supreme Court, fighting as hard as he can to not bring this man back today by 11:59pm. Script below...

“It's still unclear whether the company — which reported a staggering $400 million loss in 2024, while only netting a pitiful $3.6 million revenue — will realize the mass sale of millions of shares. But even just the suggestion appears to have spooked investors.” futurism.com/truth-social...

😂🤣

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

More than $6 million total will go to four whistleblowers in a lawsuit filed against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his office, and they are granted interest until they are paid, according to the final judgment.
