There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Sometime soon Trump & his thugs will start revoking the passports of American citizens. There's plenty of precedent for it. Ask W.E.B. Du Bois. Ask Paul Robeson. Then we were in hysterics about communism. Now we're suppressing pro-Palestinian speech & any criticism of Israel.

An excellent piece: "This administration ignoring due process is a violation of our rights– if they can deport someone without caring about their status, they can kidnap citizens– but it is also a reminder that solidarity is the only shelter we have."

We are all witnesses to fascism. And it's not enough. I'm disabled and I'm tired and I'm TERRIFIED (multiple marginalized identities make me a target of this administration) but I'm out there protesting, donating to indie journalism, and writing my elected representatives. Witness and resist.

And this is why I donate to the ACLU monthly. Because they'll keep fighting. Because someone has to speak for the marginalized. If you can't make it monthly, even a one-time $5 donation helps Khalil—and all of us—preserve our freedoms. action.aclu.org/give/pm-dona...

Somebody needs to explain why Kristi Noem can walk in an out of the El Salvadoran Slave Labor Camp but nobody can confirm where Abrego Garcia is or how it would be possible to get him home? WTF is going on!!!

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

How is techno-fascism different from plain old fascism, you ask? Code is law. You simply cease to exist. Snap. You're gone. Good luck with getting any help with that. If this doesn't work, they also can start erasing any evidence that you ever existed.

1) How the f–– is Customs supposed to administer tariffs set by the president at three separate rates over the last 24 hours? 2) How is this good news when the heightened tariff against China screws innumerable businesses from small drop-shippers to firms as enormous as Apple?

The Supreme Court saying deportation targets must have due process (as long as they have a lawyer ready to go with a habeas suit who quickly notices an unannounced disappearing by unmarked agents) is Jim Crow stuff. You technically have rights, says the Court, you just won’t get to exercise them.
