Valid point!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

May I turn your attention to exhibit (US)”A”? You will see what happens if you give this kind of rhetoric even a smidgen of legitimacy.

I wish I could still be shocked and surprised by the level of hypocrisy and selective “logic” that this nation’s admin in power and all its state-level cronies employ.

Not religious myself, but still nice to see a Christian that doesn’t require air quotes around their given faith.

Fixed it:

We should all be as brave as Hilton Hotel Workers. Across the board, from teachers to healthcare workers to hospitality, we are long overdue for activism.

Full itinerary including details of locations and attendees, planned sycophantic speech, plans to give Putin an honorary statue, how to pronounce “Poo-tin,” left in hotel printer. Nice security features you got there, Tr-uh-m-p Ad-min-is-TRAY-shun. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

AOC ❤️ calling out RepubliKKKans As Lying and Deceiving.......

Dear Western World, A bit slow to respond- but I’ll take it. Sincerely, Those of Us Who Believe in International Law

I was today years old when I found out I share a birthday with JD Vance. 😬 Does also sharing a birthday with James Baldwin negate this in any way?

Based maga logic, it is now essential to deport all border patrol agents, since one bad apple means they are all criminals. Let’s go!

Because racism before humanitarianism before bipartisanism. Welcome to Texas, even the corruption’s bigger here. Also, this open corruption/racism seems viscerally worse than the usual hidden stuff. I have my ideas, but what are your thoughts on why that is?

I love that Brazil is all like, “Yeah, no” to Trump. But what’s up with this “defying” BS? Since when does the Trumpyre have the right to exert power over other nation’s justice systems? Let’s try language like: “the Brazilian courts held firm in the face of Trump’s unwarranted demands.” Do better!

And yet again they have enabled the continued destruction. Even if not “final” it allows a dismantling that will be hard to fix once we get these awful, heartless people out of office.

So, I know more than 10 have died in ICE custody (that they admit to), and now this. Just like in COVID times, we need a ICE tally scoreboard, front page of every newspaper. Detention numbers, deportation numbers, third country deportation numbers and death numbers. Every day. Ever person.

Look at the: a Forbes headline using Trump level vocab! Good job Forbes! You might want to change that word “thriving” though. Perhaps “bigly” would be more understandable?

Halfway through 2025, the U.S. stands out as the world’s biggest loser in an otherwise thriving global tourism economy.

Lately I started listening to an oldish podcast- Night Vale. It’s absurdist and therefore quite fitting for the times. Episode 11- Wheat & Wheat Bi-Products seems very prescient.

• Mamdani is not in the country illegally • He does not have any connection to 9/11 or jihadist terrorism • Mamdani hasn’t actually said or done anything antisemitic • He did not call to ‘globalize the intifada’ • He’s not a communist

Our kids need healthcare and food more than rich folks need another million dollars. bsky.app/profile/demg...

The working people of Kentucky are lucky to have such a strong advocate. bsky.app/profile/gova...

Unbelievable… horrific and unforgivable.

Will it be points system for personhood? 1 person point +0.5 for being cis (XY) straight male +0.5 for MAGA +2.0 for net worth over 1 million -0.5 for being for being any skin color but white -0.5 for being a woman (or anything other than cis XY) -0.5 for party affiliation other than GOP

Republicans on whether poor Americans can get health care: Sen. Joni Ernst: “We all are going to die.” Sen. Mitch McConnell: “They’ll get over it.” Vice President JD Vance: “Immaterial.” $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts. 12 MILLION people kicked off health care. Republicans don’t care.

Nobody in Michigan wants to cut food assistance and health care to finance a tax cut for billionaires — but that's exactly what Republicans are trying to do.   @slotkin.senate.gov and I are going to fight this ridiculous bill every step of the way.

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits. There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

“By forging ahead and granting relief to the Government anyway, this Court endorses the radical proposition that the President is harmed, irreparably, whenever he cannot do something he wants to do, even if what he wants to do is break the law.”

Right now, our most basic rights—free speech, protest, and due process—are under attack. That’s why workers and people of faith from communities all across America will undertake a Justice Journey to Louisiana. We reject Trump’s treatment of immigrant communities! #SolidaritySummer seiu.co/4lxR0j0

True! And today’s decisions right in line with that weaponization.

This Supreme Court was never going to uphold the Constitution. It was not going to be the bulwark against the Trump regime. It IS the Trump regime. It’s on us y’all—it always has been.

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. 🧵

Like where are the cops? Where is local leadership? This is just some guys kidnapping a woman in a parking lot. This is absolutely unacceptable.

I agree! Excellent summary. And those of the Trumpyre who pretend to be friendly to you despite their allegiances and your sexual-racial-ethnic differences are not really being friendly; they are making an exception to their world view. Remember that!

Surveyed providers/doctors on the cuts. Seems they're not happy...

Yet another really bad decision. As a former teacher, I worked with parents as best I could to allow options for kids who were allowed to celebrate certain holidays. That was difficult enough. Now they’ve opened the door to any reason to “opt out”! Believe me: teaching is hard enough already.

I can’t even! So now we will now have how many thousands of people without a nationality? So will you have to be born light skinned to be a citizen, or will vowing your undying love to the Orange King be enough?

A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Is that right? Then she will instruct Noem and Homan that all federal agents must have their faces uncovered, yes?

We need enough of these whistleblowers to make a FIFA referee want to cover their ears - Bravo Mr. Reuveni! From NYT article about Reuveni’s claims: “Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order,”

Like…if you like sign your name with your title like at the bottom of the tweet - it like TOTALLY makes like EVERYONE respect you. Duh!

The ramping up of so-called “justice system” abuse under this administration is criminal. I’m glad that some of our elected leaders are finally calling this out. However, some sort of direct action must be taken: surely some law enforcement is against this and will enforce UDHRs. Right?!!
