Filming ICE? “Law enforcement may not search your cell phone or other device without a warrant…you may refuse a request from an officer to review or delete what you recorded. You also may refuse to unlock your phone”

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

I am really pleased to see these Congressional town halls going off the rails in these Republican clowns’ home districts. My hope is that the continued pressure and threat of losing a majority in as soon as two years will have these getting squeezed start putting pressure back up the chain.

X is censoring journalists. The United States Attorney for D.C. is sending officials communications exclusively through X. An agency that purportedly runs the government under an unconstitutional principal officer(?) who owns the site the agency communicates on exclusively. We got a problem!

"O horizonte das direitas é o fascismo" é uma coisa que precisa ser internalizada, pra ontem. Liberalismo já se esgotou pra eles, a única coisa capaz de garantir o lucro esperado é fascismo no nosso lombo, sem dó.

The Washington Post's treatment of the Trump administration's anti-trans eliminationist language and policy here is appalling. What *is* that second paragraph, in particular, and for what other groups would the Post consider it acceptable to just describe as a "philosophy"?

Os gringos ainda acreditam que eles tem poder sobre a soberania brasileira

My interview on @theguardian.com about Trump Media and Rumble’s lawsuit against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

regimes fascistas tendem a dobrar o direito a seu favor. a ação de Trump contra Moraes não encontra respaldo legal em lugar algum. é uma aberração jurídica e viola a soberania brasileira pelos seguintes motivos:

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

We took X to court. And we won! ⚖️ The courts ruled that X must urgently grant us access to their publicly available data via their API. This access is critical for our analysis of online public discourse ahead of the upcoming German elections. Read: bit.ly/4gBWGp4 Here's what's happened 1/3 👇

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

What if Trump really doesn’t care if his executive orders are illegal? open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech. Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli #tariffwar

O Chester Humano e seus lacaios tomaram conta da infraestrutura de pagamentos e dados do governo americano. Ele estão copiando e tendo acesso a dados confidenciais de cidadãos e empresas (incluindo as concorrentes de Elon Musk). O movimento é amplamente ilegal e a oposição está dormindo.

The US gets a massive amount of its fruit and vegetables from Mexico. To Make America Healthy Again, we will use tariffs to raise the price of those fruits and vegetables by 25%. by Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

From today, the prohibited practices/AI systems in the AI Act enter force. It becomes illegal to use or market, broadly (and loosely): - intentionally v manipulative systems likely to cause someone harm - social scoring that leads to disproportionate consequences/consequences in an unrelated sector

Again “Elon Musk’s team” is literally just some guys. They’re not government officials and no one elected them and no congressional committee approved them. This is a smash and grab, out in the open.

I'll be emailing or calling my reps both House and Senate several times a week to start organizing resistance, develop courage, and to stop acting like the Vichy government.

Many of us are not surprised at the total absence of any response by Dems. Laws and electoral Ian won’t stop this. People will, eventually (once they stop expecting elected officials to come save us).

Dems should not allow anything to move in the House or Senate until this is dealt with. Dem have the power in both chambers to jam up the works, and they need to use it. That isn't a radical tactic, it's what the GOP has done for years for trivial matters. Unlike this, which is catastrophic.

If Paramount agrees to settle this frivolous lawsuit, it will send the message that news outlets should stop reporting that angers Trump - or other powerful people. But the right to criticize government officials is at the heart of the 1st Amendment and our democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

Little noticed among the wave of executive orders signed by President Trump: one that orders the Attorney General to ask the Supreme Court to overrule legal precedents that constrain the imposition of the death penalty. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
