SCOTUS is illegitimate and corrupted. Time to tear it down and start over.

Yet another example of an ironclad journalistic rule: the first thing police say when their violence is questioned is a lie

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free PalestineπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

What I'm curious about is what all these goons were doing two years ago. Proud boys? Former police terminated for misconduct?

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

A note of caution to journalists: Don’t report ICE claims as fact. They lie all the time. And they have a huge propaganda apparatus to spread their lies. Don’t be part of it.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

UVA is one of nine schools to receive Trump's letter offering "preferred" funding status in exchange for, well, their souls and their dignity. Interim President Mahoney: under no circumstances can you accept this corrupt bargain.

The US is deporting a journalist today

Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities

They grabbed him

Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally

They’re attacking the free press

The Trump regime has ordered nine top universities to agree to its demands or lose access to federal funds.

Reminder for any school dealing with Trump's extortion: You can't appease a tyrant.

I can see how it’s tempting to sign an agreement to preserve an institution of higher ed, if you’re the one in charge. The problem is, once you sign that agreement, it’s no longer meaningfully a university. It’s a shell: a wood-paneled carapace protecting a rotten core.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation.

Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan MuΓ±oz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

loyalty oaths are McCarthyite bullshit

but I guess the silver lining is that oaths in contemporary America are manifestly meaningless to begin with
