The U.S. deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia by “mistake.” He’s now in a Salvadoran prison. Today, the Supreme Court let the Trump admin delay bringing him home. This is what injustice looks like. open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

It's actually fine for non-citizens to be disappeared without due process. This could never happen to me because I'm a citizen, a thing that masked agents throwing me into an unmarked van will definitely respect

one of the funniest Generative AI claims is that it's "for people who can't draw." the one thing that people seeking to take me down a peg have said for the past 25 years is that i can't draw. i do it anyway and it's fun and it's fine. to refuse to doodle is to abdicate your own humanity

Instead of calling Palestinians On Here scammers, if you want to help but don't want to give to people directly, you can donate to one of my favorite causes: the PCRF. They get medical care to kids who badly need it and wouldn't otherwise receive it. www.pcrf.net

“You just want us to vote for the lesser of two evils forever.” Yes. Because that’s what voting is. You will always be choosing the less bad option. Every person you will ever have the privilege of voting for will be a person who has done bad things, and who will continue to do bad things. (1/2)

GOD: time to decide which things should cause allergies CHUBBY QUIET ANGEL: well I was thinking people should be allergic to bad things like unkindness and lying and fluorescent lighting and… GOD: flowers and kitty cats and peanut butter ANGEL: oh okay

A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms. This is it. This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sends a text that remind him of the war plans He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes #Hegseth

"You’re an elected official. The Trump administration has rounded up individuals and sent them, without any due process and with much carelessness about who’s been seized, to a mega-prison in El Salvador."

ahhh yes basic human decency violations, the American way

When you realize the framework you helped normalize can be used against you...

Turn down the radio. Turn off the television. Listen. Listen to the birds. They're talking mad shit about you, loser

If you didn't garden before, you might want to try your hand at growing some things. You don't need a lot of space. You can use buckets and bags. I just ordered some from FreeHeirloomSeeds.org Just make a donation and pick out the seeds you want :-)

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

why is everyone mad at me

US judicial system, the people need you to stand your ground! stop bending to this idiocy

Today my 8YO started telling me excitedly about “non-berry” people. She informed me: - it’s wrong to call them “he” or “she” because they use them/they pronouns - They’re not boys or girls - They have a flag and it’s gray and purple and yellow and white - they all believe in ghosts

for @teenvogue.com, Columbia journalism student Anvee Bhutani spoke to people who have known the disappeared Mahmoud Khalil at different points in his life — aid workers, friends, fellow activists — who describe a deeply committed, compassionate organizer who saw education as a way to serve others.

the united states today is not a story of left vs. right. it's billionaires vs. the rest of us

"Strand, a veteran who served in Vietnam as a Seabee, was there to express his anger and dismay with Trump’s cuts of thousands of VA jobs. He wants Rep. Michael Baumgartner to know it. “I came home from Vietnam, betrayed,” Strand said. “I’m being betrayed again.” www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

it's so blatant. like. lololololol

We're horrified by the Israeli government’s latest assault on Gaza. The IDF have killed 400+ people — including more than 130 children — and cut off food and aid to the region.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist on a valid visa, was heading to Brown University med school when she was detained at Logan. A judge ordered Trump provide 48 hours notice before deportation. The court’s order was ignored; she was deported without warning. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...
