Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

1. End Citizens United 2. Tax the rich 3. Prosecute wage theft 4. Pass Medicare for All 5. Vote out bought, corrupt politicians

My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Merry Christmas! The President of Peace just bombed Nigeria.

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

Happy Holidays

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

Or you might call them "camps" where people are to be "concentrated" until they are deported. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“Like Prime, but with human beings.”

Marco Rubio and his State Department are now systematically attacking NGO groups that battle against Nazi hate rhetoric in social media, seeing this as hostile to the interests of Elon Musk and the German Nazi Party. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/usa-...

If the Court ends up running for cover as this whole thing falls apart, DO NOT FORGET.

“The Constitution of the Roberts Court is not color-blind. It is a Constitution that permits discrimination on the basis of race, but forbids alleviating discrimination on the basis of race.” Such a good @adamserwer.bsky.social piece. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:

Your regular reminder that Neil Gorsuch illegitimately occupies a stolen SCOTUS seat & is as deeply & fundamentally authoritarian as Alito & Thomas, even if less corrupt & generally more polite, else he would not have accepted a nomination for said stolen SCOTUS seat.

Very funny to see Alito complain about the court skipping full briefing and oral arguments for a quick shadow docket decision when he has signed onto innumerable orders that pull the exact same tricks and rebuked colleagues who complain about it ... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

People are dying inside American concentration camps right now. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

the vice president is a klansman

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

Reup of this public resource we created Timeline of Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell Law Enforcement Failures (1996-2025) with links to all the publicly available documents

And another one gone.

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied. It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Ailing wannabe dictator yelling at his people and insisting that they're getting richer and safer when all the evidence demonstrates the opposite. This is Gaddafi-levels of lunacy.

The Vanity Fair photographer knew what he was doing. (I doubt I’m the first to notice this but it hasn’t graced my TL)

JUST IN: Judge Cobb blocks ICE's policy that limited Congress' ability to visit immigration detention facilities, saying it imposed illegal restrictions by requiring 7-day advanced notice and excluding ICE field offices. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

We just murdered eight more people in boats.

Sounds about right.

So probable cause is now just...going to an East African restaurant

Weekend reading: Trumpism Is at War with the Idea of a Citizenry of Equals The regime’s latest racist fury is tied to the Right’s much broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision. My new piece:

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

This opinion appeals to Musk because it treats women and children as objects without autonomy, which appeals to subhuman techbros in his crowd.

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

“Supreme Court reform is now the sine qua non of any reformist program in the United States, any program to re-implant/re-secure civic democracy in the United States” -- @joshtpm.bsky.social talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/court...

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

If the Fourteenth Amendment isn’t real then Section 3 isn’t real either and the justices are suddenly just people in funny clothes.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there. A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
