Folks need to pause and put themselves in García’s shoes.

He fled El Salvador at 16—running from gangs, scared for his life. He didn’t risk it all just to join one of the most notorious gangs here.

Bukele cracked down—but as one local said: “We used to fear the gangs—now we fear the government.”

Morons Leak Their War Plans Whoops!

But her emails…

I heard Chris Sununu say that dissolving the Department of Education is a good thing because states know best what their students’ educational needs are. Any time someone like this spouts such drivel, they should be asked specifically what a child in Iowa should learn that one in Vermont should not.

On her way to an emergency medical checkup, a 10-year old little girl recovering from brain cancer surgery and her family were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

This is the heartbreaking story of a mixed-status family. Four American-born children and their undocumented parents were…

@dearlstephens.bsky.social I have to laugh when people concerned about human rights violations are being diagnosed with TDS by people walking around with a hardon for the guy.

Yay America…we have been added to the global human rights watchlist over declining civil liberties….joining Serbia, Italy, Pakistan and the DRC….so is America great yet? time.com/7266334/us-h...

This isn't private security. These are police officers. Why can't Tesla pay for its own security? This photo was taken in Chicago.
If you see this in your community, call your representative and tell them those offices should be in front of a school, not outside of a Tesla showroom.

Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

Hanging in there, right?

Keep it up 👊🏽

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy.

Nonetheless, holy shit.

What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

@bloomberg.com Total bullshit on BNN right now
trump has never and will never "continue to pressure putin"
you are vatniks pushing russian narrative
oil prices increasing are putin's main source of income (other than human trafficking, extortion, theft, and killing for hire); he sells crude

Why Corporate DEI Is Such a Perfect Target for Trump It’s an attack on labor. But he can frame it as something else.

"The fact is, the battle over “DEI” has always been a fight about labor, work, and who has access to the jobs and political institutions that build and protect wealth. If we ever forgot that, we’re learning it again now."

Rubio's gutting of USAID is illegal and unconstitutional. There is no form of democracy anywhere of any kind that would allow the executive branch to unilaterally cancel budgets and programs passed by the legislative branch and signed into law. It's utter lawlessness.

US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms — Guardian US Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia

Maybe the "dictator for a day" thing wasn't such a good idea.

We warned people, but too many stayed home, threw a protest vote, or didn’t think their vote mattered—or worse, voted for Trump.

If Democrats think the winning 2026 strategy is to just let Trump and the GOP hurt their own voters until they “wake up” — we’re screwed.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.

Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.

Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

A Suspicious Pattern Alarming the Ukrainian Military A Ukrainian military source believes that Russia’s long-range strikes are aimed using satellite imagery provided by U.S. companies.

"Russia’s long-range strikes, by cruise missiles that are among the most costly weapons in its nonnuclear arsenal, are aimed using satellite imagery provided by U.S. companies"

Wow. No one should have to work under these conditions. I hope they sue. This is straight-up authoritarian.

NEW: DHS is now forcing employees to take polygraph tests to hunt down leakers.

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist.

The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.”

The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

The MAGA regime has now Ukrainian blood on their hands.

Pentagon deputy press secretary Kingsley Wilson is a prolific purveyor of antisemitic conspiracy theories The Trump appointee compared the slaughter of Israeli babies by Hamas to abortion shortly after the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks

Some of the antisemitic conspiracy theories and associations the Pentagon’s new deputy press secretary, Kingsley Wilson, has amplified online:

🔎 Long-debunked lies about Leo Frank
🔎 Great Replacement theory
🔎 Celebrating Christian nationalism
🔎 Praising Germany's far-right AfD party

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

WE GOT THIS!
