Former USAID official here. The current Administration has done zero impact analysis to estimate the effects of its obliteration of USAID on deaths around the world. It just keeps saying "no one has died" as a mesmeric incantation. The facts, below. 🧵

Just because we don't do everything that other fascist regimes have done, does not mean we are not living with fascism here now. People of color are living in fear regardless of their citizenship. That sounds like fascism to me.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Can the 300 troops be called up and preemptively deployed to support a food bank or homeless shelter instead? Obviously they would try to redeploy them elsewhere, but make them.

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump’s acts of aggression against our people.

Gonna file this under good news.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

AAUP v. Rubio is out, and look at how it starts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

79. American citizen.

JUST IN: A judge concludes the Trump administration sent a man to Mexico to sidestep protections against torture. He has no criminal history and had legal protection from being sent to his native El Salvador — where it appears Mexico is sending him. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The agent admits he treats immigrants like "they're animals" and that he tells his kids that they are animals "all the time"

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

To do what they are doing at this scale you have to dehumanize. It's just not possible to be this cruel and believe that these people are just like anyone else. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

Duck you, Trump.

Nothing would make them angrier than people keeping the peace. They need violence to use as a casus belli to declare war on American democracy.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Dear gestapo trash:

"In some cases, the government appeared to rely on unverified tabloid reports about Khalil. In others, its claims were factually incorrect because of inconsistent timelines and mischaracterizations of his work history." ... this is the dumbest timeline.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes nuts seeing these lol

"Why are you taking my father? My mother passed away. He’s all I have. Please don't take him from me...😢

This is article by the The Onion is diabolical....

Judge Chutkan does not name or blame SCOTUS. But this could not have happened but for SCOTUS's unexplained stay order in the DVD case. Full ruling here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There needs to be legal consequences for everybody involved in this nonsense.

It is truly horrifying what is being alleged against the Trump administration in the Ghana case. Here is from an affidavit filed in the case today: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

A new lawsuit claims the Trump administration tried to bypass deportation restrictions by flying people out of the U.S. on a military aircraft to Ghana, which would then send them on to their home countries, even though U.S. judges had found they could not be forced to return there.

Far-right influencers and violent extremists are posting identifying details about people they view as celebrating or glorifying the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. www.wired.com/story/right-...

There's now four agents, two armed with long guns, standing on the roof of the processing facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview, IL.

What. The fuck.

This is the opposite of a call for unity.

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

BREAKING: @lambdalegal.org strongly criticizes the federal indictment of one of its lawyers in Alabama, calling it "an outrageous act of governmental overreach" that followed "unprecedented and abusive judicial proceedings." "We unequivocally stand behind Carl and all of our attorneys ...."

Oh, I see that neither @reuters.com nor @advocate.com credited Law Dork with breaking this story. Not cool.

Where are my osint people at?
