Since my tweet about Jeff Bezos, I've been getting a lot of replies such as these. "Where do these dress rules come from?" "When do they change?" These are very good questions, so let me answer them. 🧵

ICE agents are despised for their brutal treatment of migrants and anyone who crosses them, acting like spineless cowards by hiding their identities. Who takes such a vile job? rall.com/comic/do-you...

Yup: “The Supreme Court’s alternative—that people aggrieved across the country can file class-action lawsuits instead—can be an onerous, time-consuming, and expensive process that ignores how hard the justices have made it for people to band together to sue.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/s...

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

Random wars, presidential corruption on an unprecedented scale, massive tax cuts for the rich being jammed through while Medicaid is cut, people being kidnapped & deported to torture prisons ... and what freaks out the chattering class? Grocery stores & higher wages for the working class.

honestly i kinda feel bad for how every day Adam Serwer goes online to post a rather concise & accurate description of how America's original sin is refracted endlessly into the present, and gets a bunch of responses like "maybe the red states should just leave" and "i blame the non-voters"

No lie. @adamserwer.bsky.social was on it in 2018 when he wrote about the turn of SCOTUS, bending the knee to what became formalized and realized as Project 2025. Stephen Miller's fantasies come to life, also celebrated by the Curtis Yarvin/Peter Thiel set. 🧾 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"The anti-immigrant agenda and attack on federal workers are both designed to dehumanize, divide and distract. Immigrants are scapegoated to justify authoritarian crackdowns. Federal workers who resist or blow the whistle are demonized as part of a 'deep state.'" www.newsweek.com/federal-work...

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

BOOM: California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News and Jesse Watters for defamation, accusing them of airing a manipulated Trump clip to push lies about Newsom’s calls with Trump. The lawsuit seeks $787M—same as Fox’s Dominion settlement.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT birthright citizenship. The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship. That way led to war once. My latest in @thenation.com

Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause." Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

Finally canceled The Atlantic this morning: the top headline in the a.m. newsletter was "Why won't Zohran Mamdani denounce a dangerous slogan?" IDK, because it's not every Muslim's job to make reactionary centrists comfy? And thanks ever so for putting a thumb on the scales for Cuomo. JFC.
