20 years ago, this explanation for US foreign policy was considered anti-american

"We have an FBI director who received $25,000 for appearing in a film, executive producing a film, made by a Ukrainian-American-Russian who worked on a propaganda project that was financed, in part, by Vladimir Putin's office." "Why this isn't a bigger story, I don't know."

The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. ---Alan M. Garber President of Harvard University #Voices4Victory #ONEV1

Trump’s ICE deported 3 American kids. One is 4 years old with stage four cancer.
Another’s mom is pregnant. No meds. No prenatal care. No due process. This ain’t “tough on immigration”—it’s sick.

CTV HAS DECLARED A LIBERAL GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Very strong letter should do the trick. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This story is so upsetting — we need to be shouting it from the rooftops. The more names and stories the general public can put to "238 detainees," the better.

Keep showing up!

NEW: A delegation of four House Democrats has traveled to El Salvador to push for the release of Kilmar Ábrego García. The official trip, including Representatives Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida, and Robert Garcia of California, comes after…

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

WARREN: If 700,000 Americans lose their jobs because of these tariffs, will the Trump administration suspend these tariffs? GREER: That's not going to happen WARREN: I take that as a no

I always look forward to funerals too. Good times.

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

Almost feel bad for Hegseth - once he is no longer at the Pentagon, he will be liable to be deported to El Salvador for his gang tats. On the positive side, the resignation party is going to be an epic three-day bender, the hottest ticket in DC.

By the way

I wish for only peace for Ben. Even relaxing moments like smoking a cigarette outside and getting donuts appear to be more emotionally taxing than they should. ❤

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Bought a passionfruit iced tea from a Starbucks inside a Barnes & Noble. I would definitely highly recommend it if you‘ve ever wondered what it would be like to drink a Christmas candle.

Much gratitude especially to Rabbi Laura Geller for making this happen. It's the lede in this piece:

If they’re arguing that Harvard hasn’t done enough “in the public interest” to deserve tax exempt status, wait until they get a look at evangelical megachurches!

You can support the local independent nonprofit news outlet that did the detailed reporting here. ❤️👇

Lmao extravagance, yes. But also totally pointless. What kid wants an actual fucking egg for Easter?

MAGA “constitutionalists” are big mad at Senator Chris Van Hollen going to El Salvador to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 🙄

*this is not sarcasm but a sincere plea* One way to emphasize it is to link to the actual story a) So people can read it beyond the headline and become better informed b) Pageviews are important as a measurable indication <to newsroom bosses> of reader interest in this kind of reporting!

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

I'm so incredibly proud of my Senator, @vanhollen.senate.gov and grateful for his courage, dedication, and patriotism in standing up for truth and justice. THAT'S the US I'm proud of! We are ALL Kilmar Abrego García. We're ALL deserve due process!

“Only completely deranged scum can act like this” Trump’s special envoy Kellogg said that the Kremlin’s attack on civilian targets in dummy  “crosses any line of decency. www.kyivpost.com/post/50709

☘️ Look, it's golf. I get it. ☘️ But Rory McIlroy's Masters victory was one for the truly good guys. He didn't take the Saudi's gruesome blood money to play on an odious tour endorsed by the world's most notorious, orange cheater. ☘️ He stayed loyal and true to who he is, and tonight he's the champ.

I can’t wait to the day we purge this administration from the history books

Musk is cuckoo — but Bessent, who is not, says the same.

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social

owning a small business in 2025…

“This is the Vichy moment. It’s a classic collaborationist dilemma. You can have preserved your school but you live in a sea of authoritarianism.” Wesleyan University President Michael Roth in @economist.com

NEWS: Chief Justice John Roberts *is* aware there is a matter before him about a man who was improperly sent to a prison in El Salvador. Per the court, Roberts has denied the request from Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers to file a sur-reply — a reply responding to DOJ's reply — in the matter.

She wrote an op-ed in her college paper. That's the pretext.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

I still can't get over how rapey the vibe of this tweet is from the White House, shocked it's still up. It sounds like trump wrote it.

Same same same

The Trump administration is moving to cancel lawfully obtained Social Security numbers in an effort to pressure immigrants to “self deport” by cutting people off from financial services like bank accounts and credit cards, along with access to government benefits. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Gretchen Whitmer has my complete respect, she stands up and gets shit done 🫶🏼💪🏼

They were paying people? I got nothing. Who’s writing checks!

No idea of how common this sort of treatment is in the immigration context, but definitely reminds me of certain aspects of detainee treatment during GWOT.
