This is such an outrageous attitude. The government has admitted they sent him in error.ā€Oh well he’ll be in the gulag for lifeā€ is *not* the answer here.

It’s time for the annual #WeGoForRob charity campaign for @gocampaign.bsky.social. It runs through May 16th! give.gocampaign.org/campaign/rob...

So we’re just four months into the Trump regime and already he’s having judges arrested. People still don’t realize that our democracy has already fallen.

So happy about this. šŸ˜€ variety.com/2025/film/fe...

Outrageous. Kids with no lawyers or even an adult parent in immigration courts.

NEW: A SECOND story was released today of a Venezuelan man disappeared by the Trump admin. Neiyerver Leon is a barber who entered legally seeking asylum in June 2023. ICE arrested him on March 13 and accused him of being in TdA. Days later, he vanished off the face of the earth.

Tesla reported a 71% drop in profits, as it faced stiffer competition and Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration turned off some car buyers. nyti.ms/4lyxrHU

Let's be clear: North Carolina—and eleven other states—have trigger laws that automatically end Medicaid expansion if federal support drops below 90%. This approach automatically throws over 600,000 North Carolinians off of their coverage.

Trump’s EPA just began laying off 200 environmental justice staff. These are the people protecting low-income communities from toxic air and poisoned water. The new mission? Slash the budget 65% and erase civil rights from climate policy.

Move along. Nothing to see here. Just the U.S. Government wanting to start a ā€œdisease registryā€ database where they can track autistic people. You know, for easy removal to the camps when that time comes. www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It’s a coup. She’s right. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jqh5qh/

Yay!!!!

This is all so incredibly amateur, but that’s wheat you get when you put an alcoholic Fox host into a real position of power. What a shitshow.

I just realized that webinar is an anagram of winebar. Suddenly, a way forward appears.

Praise be. Now can the Robstens fuck all the way off forever and leave Rob alone???

A very Happy Easter to those celebrating today.

Paris air pollution is down 50% after its radical bike-friendly transformation This is a happy story when happy stories seem so far and few between. www.fastcompany.com/91317234/par...

That State Department isn't "changing its mind about what it calls human rights." The United States is embracing its disgusting Gitmo and Abu Ghraib horrors to be a country that knowingly violates human rights. We are the bad guys.

Imagine if more Democrats just...............did something

He actually finally got to meet with him?? That’s huge. Thank goodness.

I think by June we’re going to really start feeling the collapse of shipping of supplies to the U.S. and it’s not going to be pretty.

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

BREAKING: DC district judge find probable cause to hold Trump admin. in contempt for deportation flights

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

HOLY SHIT. You need to read this in its entirety. Way too much to even begin to summarize but it's really, REALLY bad. It's just one agency, NLRB, but it's likely happening at others. We are under attack, seemingly from the inside. What's happening here should put folks in prison

I cannot imagine dealing with 3 years and 8 months more of this stuff. I am soooo tired.

And Congress sits by and does nothing, even though it’s their budget he’s ignoring. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

And the rest of the White House press corps did ... [fill in the blank]

This is how to stand up to fascism. www.yahoo.com/news/harvard...

Such amazing animals. 🄰

A pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening emergency. And here is United Healthcare (again!) refusing to cover the hospitalization of someone with a pulmonary embolism. Outrageous stuff. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jy9VdG/

As 60 Minutes laid bare Russia’s war crimes, Trump erupted - not in grief, not in outrage, but in defense of himself and, by extension, his master Putin. No sorrow for murdered children, no defense of Ukraine - only rage that the Kremlin’s crimes were exposed. His allegiance is unmistakable.

Oh wow. RIP. I remember struggling through one of his novels in Spanish when I was in college for an advanced Spanish class with a dictionary by my side. LOL. It was still a good read.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its ā€œarrangementā€ with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

The ultimate check on Trump's abuses will be in the hands of the people, Cecillia Wang writes. "The constitutional system of checks and balances is still holding—for now":
