Since when did "this person is deportable" become "we can send this person to a hell hole prison in a 3rd country for an indefinite period of time"?

Anyone have that sinking feeling happening?

Trump’s goal all along was to end military aid to Ukraine. That’s why he offered a “peace deal” with no security guarantees and set up that fight with President Zelenskyy knowing no sane leader would accept it.

Dear universities, scientists, lawyers, farmers, workers, artists, doctors...

Being silent won't protect you.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

This is the story.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Democratic leaders! It’s fine to hold out for the legal system (slow moving) to pull us out of this nightmare but it’s not enough. Get out and interview actual people who have been hurt by his slaughter of democracy.
Show Devastation, fear and pain of real people because of his cruel policies.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Federal funding makes up 33% of U.S. nonprofit revenue. A freeze could cripple essential services like foster care, disaster relief and homeless shelters. Two nonprofit scholars explain: https://buff.ly/3Q5q24j

USDA detects second bird flu strain in dairy cows The strain was detected through the agency's national milk testing efforts, which began in December.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it has detected a bird flu strain in dairy cattle that previously had not been seen in cows.

Hi! I’m finally here.

This is the moment we’ve always been headed towards. If the President refuses to follow a court’s order we are in deep crisis. The GOP has courted this disaster.

The county library system just put out a hell of a statement about the EOs, telling us they're bullshit and the libraries are here for the whole community no matter what.

I am so proud of them. Goddamn I love librarians.

I used to try to avoid posting about politics too much, because I know people followed me for art and comic stuff.

But politics are affecting my ability to exist and create art, so I'm going to keep posting about politics until it gets better.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

📌From Timothy Snyder:

Perfect! Hope there’s a lot more damage coming,

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

What happens after you ask Trump to ‘have mercy’? Threats, praise and hope. It had been 12 days since the Episcopal bishop of Washington pleaded with President Donald Trump to “have mercy” on immigrants, LGBTQ children and others.

“the applause grew louder and louder until hundreds were standing and clapping: the crowd, the choir, the bishops, all on their feet..."
