When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Trump team orders stop to new student visa interviews, as it weighs expanding social media vetting The directive came in a Tuesday cable obtained by POLITICO.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Told my parents that every time they see a report of a brown person disappeared to El Salvador they should tell themselves that, if the administration is left unchecked, will eventually be a story about their loud asshole white daughter.

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD.

This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

When this is over, U.S. rights abusers must be tried for crimes against humanity Escalating reports of human rights crimes from Kristi Noem's propaganda to ICE cruelty must be wiped clean with justice.

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal

Someday, there must be justice. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to visit White House Monday President Trump has praised El Salvador’s leader for being “very tough on crime.”

Bukele is coming to the White House on Monday.

Maybe Trump can ask him for help getting all the innocent people back from his ridiculous gulag?

Rubio on X: Last night, another 10 criminals from the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations arrived in El Salvador.  The alliance between @POTUS and President @nayibbukele has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.

This is not lawful.

Angelou is out, Hitler is in It's come to this. It's come to this. It's come to this.

"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

Sure, Kamala Harris would have have preserved our global power and domestic prosperity. But she would have done so as a Black woman.

by Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller

Dark stuff. The lack of evidence against the Salvadoran deported in "error" is appalling. And the implication of Trump's position really is that anyone removed in "error" might not have recourse.

YouTube video by CNN William Barr stumped by Kamala Harris' question

It's beyond bizarre that trump signs EOs directing DOJ investigations. Remember how nervous Bill Barr got when then-Senator Harris asked him if Trump even *suggested* he open an investigation? Now they're just televised executive orders. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktdi...

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Taniel, with the handle @Taniel . The post reads: "RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, were pushing anti-LGTB policies, incl. a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all 3 of these city councillors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by local LGBT group." The post reports on a local election outcome in Rolla, Missouri, where three city council members who supported anti-LGBT policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship, were voted out. The winning candidates were supported by a local LGBT group.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Evidence suggests the Trump admin is engaged in a broader practice of revoking student visas beyond just targeting people who expressed pro-Palestinian opinions. They are now seemingly going after people for any minor infractions. I heard that one student with a jaywalking ticket got a visa revoked.

A play in two acts.

In defense of hope.

38 international students’ immigration statuses revoked at three more Texas universities Nineteen students at the University of Texas at Dallas, 16 at the University of North Texas and three at Texas Tech now face uncertainty about their ability to stay in the U.S.

New: Nineteen international students at UT-Dallas, 16 at the University of North Texas and three at Texas Tech have had their legal status changed in a wave of removals from a federal database that have swept across the state and the nation.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

This is good news if you think our banking system is too secure.

Gabbard’s pick to run a counterterrorism center aided the start of a right-wing paramilitary group Joe Kent, a promoter of conspiracy theories, has long associated with extremists.

Who better to lead a counterterrorism center than someone who has aided and supported the right-wing paramilitary movement?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Your retirement account and Social Security benefits are at risk, you can be sent to a foreign prison for saying stuff he doesn't like, science is cancelled and books are banned, but chin up, ladies -- you can still die from a miscarriage.

Once again, Trump is abusing his power, targeting perceived enemies via executive order.

Susman Godfrey — the law firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems obtain a $787.5m settlement from Fox for lies about the 2020 election — has issued a statement in direct response to Trump's executive order…

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me.

FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Judge Xinis is sticking by her demand that Trump return a Maryland man erroneously sent to El Salvador, writing in a new order:

"Defendants seized Abrego Garcia without any lawful authority … and forcibly transported him to El Salvador in direct contravention of [immigration law]."
