im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.

Hegseth sent operational details - very closely held. He and Gabbard said otherwise to Senate Intel. BOTH must resign immediately. If not, file articles of impeachment.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Not a profound or nuanced observation, obviously, but I am really struggling with how fucking evil everything is every day. Everything I love and admire about this stupid and amazing country just constantly getting vandalized and brutalized by people who hate all those things. Not digging it.

Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself. Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture: www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D...

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

Trump's policies are about who gets to exist in public life and attempting to legally exclude or intimidate people out of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

The authoritarians & oligarchs benefit from us blaming eachother for the massive wealthy inequality in this country. Blame the corrupt billionaires, mega corporations, and big money in politics. Not your neighbor.

No truer words have been spoken. 🎯🎯🎯👇

We successfully fought to get incarcerated children out of the infamous Angola prison in Louisiana. Instead of getting kids the support they need, the state has moved some kids to another adult prison where they continue to face abuse. No prison is a safe place for children.

NOT NOW, MELVILLE. READ THE ROOM.

Stop what you’re doing and read this.
