This unprecedented corruption should be front-page news in every mainstream media outlet and it's mostly absent. Progressives should amplify this story --corruption resonates with GOP supporters more than almost any other issue and Trump's grifting is starting to get notice in right-wing media.

Brilliant work from @andertoon.bsky.social This image should show up everywhere one the Roberts Reactionaries does a public event.

If there was ever a moment that demanded Dems play hardball to defeat authoritarianism, it's now. And @yeargain.bsky.social presents a bat for them to grab.

It’s too easy for oligarchs like Jeff Bezos to exploit workers to enrich themselves. It’s time we say enough and make them pay their fair share #boycott

Prosecuting every one of the people involved in this is the moderate position and voters need to be reminding every single Democrat running that this is how it is.

Hegseth's repeal of universal flu vaccines is nonsense on so many levels, but his claim vaccine mandates were an "era of betrayal" irked me as a historian. Here's my response, in @thebulwark.com this morning; www.thebulwark.com/p/george-was...

The #BraveOfUS stand up and confront power and that's exactly what @vetsaboutface.bsky.social is doing with 150 veterans and active duty military in the Capitol rotunda right now to demand Congress end this criminal war on Iran.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Is the @washingtonpost.com editorial section anything more than a billionaire's personal propaganda organ now? @postopinions.bsky.social

For ideological reasons, I moved from Substack to beehiiv and couldn’t be happier. I’m happy to talk to anyone who wants to make a move. Leaving Substack is like planting a tree. The best day to do it was years ago. The second best day is today.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

The Mamdani administration today announced its own click to cancel rule, to make sure that every subscription transaction in the city is as easy to end as it is to start. The FTC did this in 2023, it was challenged in court & Trump's FTC wouldn't defend it. NYC is doing it themselves.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

NEW: Even by national standards, Pennsylvania has a sky-high rate of people serving life without parole. That's bc it mandates anyone convicted of 2nd-degree murder serve that sentence. The state supreme court just declared that to be cruel—a major ruling written by the Dem chief justice.

To be clear with how I feel about it. Anyone in the military who directs or carries out strikes on desalination plants should be in prison when this is over.

Important reporting by @coloradotimesrecorder.com on ICE facilities not considered official detention centers, but where people can be abducted and imprisoned for up to 3 days...in rooms with with no bed or toilet coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl... #AbolishICE

In VT, ICE instigated a chase causing multiple wrecks, abducted people not on a warrant, caused day-long chaos...based on ICE claiming to ID a man >50 yards away. vtdigger.org/2026/03/24/i... @interruptcrim.bsky.social @immjustice.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

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

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

Here's something I wrote in December about how immigration judges aren't real judges--a problem that (like many other problems) the Trump administration is making worse ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This is a REALLY big deal. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd: “…we are on the ground floor with this day in and day out — looking in the eyes of these folks that, yes, came here inappropriately. But some came here inappropriately only to do better for themselves and their family.”

The story of assaults on ICE officers, used to justify masks, is a complete lie www.wsj.com/us-news/immi...

The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention. But Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Trump’s second term. https://wapo.st/4lbpGYC

Would just remind folks that a GSA employee named Jeff Neely went to federal prison for throwing lavish parties during a 2010 government conference, then claiming it was all business. He was sentenced to 90 days. You can absolutely imprison dipshits for flamboyantly wasting taxpayer dollars.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.

This @cato.org report provides great data for one crucial front in defeating ant-immigrant hate. So many people wrongly believe immigrants drain wealth when, in fact, they pay far more in taxes than costs they generate. Immigrants provide a tremendous net boost to our national finances.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

The two CBP federal agents who murdered Alex Pretti have been on the job for 11 and 7 years respectively. It’s not a lack of training issue, it’s a culture of violence and lawlessness issue. If you’re still voting to fund this, you’re condoning it. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

1. We have a new tool for exploring how corporate concentration has hollowed out grocery access in your region: an interactive map that shows food deserts along with the location of every grocery store in the US by type — independent, small chain, large chain, or megachain like Walmart or Kroger.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

Westbrook, ME community members form a human wall to keep local workers safe from ICE www.mainepublic.org/maine/2026-0...

I said what I said.

The rule the Supreme Court appears to be settling on is that Trump CAN fire independent agency heads if the Court doesn't like the agency, but Trump CAN'T fire independent agency heads if it would wreck the global economy

A history lesson reminder to the conservative Dems planning to vote for additional ICE funding: The German elected officials who voted to fund the Gestapo were viewed as Nazi collaborators.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

If you believe ICE would heed any sort of restrictions on use of its funding, I've got a complete Epstein file to sell you. MAGA doesn't follow laws, including ones it passes. The ONLY option is for 41 Senate Dems to show 1/1000th the courage of Minnesotans and block cloture vote for funding.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Powell, showing more guts than almost any GOP legislators: "The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President." www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

Honestly I think this significant and incredibly damning

Next time you hear that "better training" is the answer to reckless violence or homicide by anyone given a badge and gun, remember this. @equalityalec.bsky.social @elizaorlins.bsky.social
