If these abductions do not push every single one of you to question the existence of immigrant "detention" centers and the conditions of ALL prisons and jails, then you are really doing life wrong. Conditions in detention, jails, and prisons in the U.S. ARE TERRIBLE. They are awful every single day.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

I'm sorry, what? Like, what the actual fuck. I will probably need to delete this later, but I'm so beyond the ability to mask or self-censor right now. This doesn't just hurt students in these majors, it hurts all the students who would take classes in those departments, from those educators.

With the recent news story about the White House considering ways to encourage women to have more babies, I thank Chloe Anygal for reminding me that I already covered this. None of this is about us. “The haranguing of women will continue until white women are brought to heel.”

Rep. lawmakers in Kentucky introduced two bills targeting incarcerated trans people, Derek R. Trumbo, Sr. & Tina Vásquez report. The bills appear politically motivated, written to imply incarcerated trans people receive considerations & services they do not. prismreports.org/2025/04/08/a...

Crazy what this family is going through. This woman’s husband has been trafficked to a foreign prison; Trump is spreading what appear to be lies about him from the Oval Office, using doctored photos; she and her disabled small kids have had to leave home after the US gov effectively doxxed them

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

So so so deeply true. I did a piece about Trump’s humor versus liberal Jon Stewart humor and why one is winning and the other frankly is flaccid. Not sure people got the through line, which is my fault.

I've always dismissed technological determinism, but the way that the internet transformed notions of authority & validation to a competition for attention and insular confirmation truly has caused our downfall.

I would be laughing if I didn't know that this kind of crap is what drove @tressiemcphd.bsky.social off this site before most people even knew it existed 😓

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

I continue to train my brain not to always focus on the negative first. It's a years-long practice. We notice & pay the most attention to cruelty and inhumanity and that’s actually because our brains focus on the negative over anything else. But there are so many examples of people acting kindly too

Yup, probably the most famous case of them all. Post-diagnosis, he resisted his doctors' recommendations for medical intervention for NINE MONTHS. He had pancreatic cancer, but it was the one kind they could successfully treat in 2003. One commentator has said "he basically committed suicide."

worth remembering that the old line about the italian fascists making "the trains run on time" is not derived from the fact they actually figured out transportation, but instead were very loudly propagandizing despite repeated policy failures to the point it became a joke

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

I said last week, there is more than bureaucratic or political cowardice at play here. The threats are probably far worse than reported.

Please stop with the whole "they are doing jobs Americans won't do" crap. It's not helping. Immigrants are real people and not a group we can collectively agree to exploit by paying low wages for their manual labor. Thanks. ✌🏼

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
