Like I said www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... bsky.app/profile/wash...

The GOP asked a North Carolina court to greenlight a deal to create a new system that could send suspected noncitizens from voter rolls to law enforcement and make sensitive data publicly available. If approved, it could lead to wrongful purges and expose eligible voters to legal investigations.

Please take 5 minutes to watch this.

I'm so tired of fake ceasefires and senseless death. I am losing my mind, when will this end.

219/ "have a very strong suspicion that the Israelis committed this latest atrocity in Lebanon to push the Iranians to withdraw from the ceasefire agreement, knowing full well that the ambiguity over whether Lebanon is included poses a problem for Iran." Agree with @BeirutCalling Iran FM just now:

Bears mentioning that everything everyone on this site feared Trump would do to Iran yesterday, Israel is doing to Lebanon today.

I simply think that no American President and in fact no human being at all should ever have the capacity to destroy civilization and it is sheer madness that we exist in a world where this is possible even when that isn’t foremost in our minds and headlines

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

One key takeaway from all this is that the U.S. and Israel are all the things they accused Iran of being to justify this—aggressive, expansionist powers operating irrationally.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

The thing is… many are desperately trying to ignore The American President But he won’t shut tf up!!!

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

He's threatening nuclear war with the kind of language they'd use to promote a special episode of Celebrity Apprentice

They don’t have a war opposition because they don’t oppose the war.

An important thing to remember about the Iran War, at the strategic level, is that there was never any reason for it to start, there's no reason for it continue, and the people involved are too stupid to allow it to end

come on it's a little funny that bluesky started going down a lot more right after the ceo and dev team started talking about using ai for vibe coding right?

"’We have the president of the United States basically declaring its intent to commit war crimes,’ Khardori said … adding that they resemble statements that could later surface in legal proceedings.”

There is no future for humanity in which the basic conditions for life for millions of people can be destroyed on one person’s whim.

The political project of the Roberts Court is white minority rule—a judicially engineered infrastructure of subordination for America's multiracial majority. It's racial authoritarian dressed up in constitutional formality I fear most people won't understand what's happening until it's too late

Just to point it out, there is no better rebuttal to Trump's racist bullshit about importing the "third world" than the United States of Fucking America.

Every white man is saying a version of this these days. The most oppressed people in the history of the world 🙄

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Even if Trump loses at the Supreme Court, I promise you that opposition to birthright citizenship is already mandatory for any future Trump judicial nominees. The conservative legal movement never treats a decision it dislikes as "settled." It just waits for another shot.

Clearly, he's not a student of history. Because if he was, he'd know that the one time the federal government did "take care of daycare," they did it *because of a war* and used defense funding to pay for it. 1/🧵

Like, I cannot overstate the extent to which Trump’s executive order is both legally and morally repugnant Accepting his view of birthright citizenship would shatter both multiracial democracy and the constitutional tool used to forge it

I really fucking hate April Fool’s Day. Like… deeply, irrevocably.

Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term. | ProPublica www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Abolish ICE and April Fools day

Imagine spending the first few weeks of your child’s life suing the Social Security Administration so your baby won’t be deported.

I'm not trying to be pedantic here; the language matters. Children of immigrants are not some special, weird category of citizens; they owe their citizenship to the same thing that the vast majority of the rest of us do. That's the point!

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

Not sure whether this is apt or terrible timing but here’s the official cover of my book due out with @uncpress.bsky.social W. Hodding Carter III imprint this fall. 🎉

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

literally all the arguments Trump is making in the birthright citizenship case are arguments that Congress and the Supreme Court already rejected over a century ago we've been here before as a nation and decided we didn't wanna be here, so get out my face ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

An act of stupidity only surpassed by its absurd cruelty.

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

So not only did the MAGA thugs who tried to overthrow the government all get pardons, they're going to get payoffs with taxpayer money when the Trump administration generously settles this class action lawsuit www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I wrote this op ed for Time Magazine/Made By History when the first version of the Save Act was going around, and this version isn't any better. This is a disfranchising bill. 🗃️ time.com/7280834/save...

Food policing poor families isn't a win for nutrition--it's a loss for dignity and joy. As Brea Perry and I find in our research (see reply), low-income parents buy food treats for their kids because they want their kids to feel happy and normal--and they can't afford to do so in bigger ways.

We’ve gone from “the groups” must be cut out to actually the “coasts” can be ignored and everyday they’re hurtling faster and faster towards “well who else could the minorities vote for” as an explicit argument in this push for white reconciliation.

isn't it amazing what you find digging through old News Papers

I know I don't have to tell any of you here that ICE is deployed at the airports because he wants everyone to know that they are his personal police force and that he will deploy them anywhere at will.

The entire deportation industrial complex is a for-profit enterprise based on trafficking and warehousing human beings. These people are the lowest of the low, absolute waste of oxygen just like the politicians who accept their bribes.

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

The richest man in the world addicted to that loser 💩

Hahahahahaha ahahhahhahah AHHAHHHAHHHAHHHAA AHHAHHHAHHHAHHHAA GET FUCKED YOU PIG MOTHERFUCKERS AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAÀAAAA
