One month ago, plainclothes officers detained Mahmoud Khalil.
With too little pushback, the Trump administration has expanded — now trying to deport people for the crime of being victims of domestic violence:

Today marks 300 days since Israeli forces killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the medics sent to save her in Gaza.

For months, I have pressed the US government again and again on the killing.

How they’ve responded is shocking.

Dissent Is Not Grounds For Deportation The unconscionable, illegal arrests of Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, Badar Khan Suri, and other international scholars should alarm every one of us. Tell Congress to defend our right to free speech ...

The Trump administration is threatening all of our First Amendment rights by punishing students and scholars like Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, and Badar Khan Suri for their protected speech.

Tell Congress: Our leaders must protect our right to free speech.

Trump Administration Aims to Eliminate E.P.A.’s Scientific Research Arm (Gift Article) More than 1,000 chemists, biologists and other scientists could be laid off under a plan to dismantle the Office of Research and Development.

Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all.

“The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists”

Trump is mentally unfit. Why won’t major media say so? As well as being a would-be dictator, he’s unhinged and incompetent.

In the wake of Trump supposedly "voiding" Biden pardons, I'm re-upping my recent newsletter asking why major media won't address Trump's mental unfitness. They had no problem going there with Biden, who was simply old, not deranged.

Tech's dystopian plans for "freedom cities" expose why Musk wants to end government by the people Tech's dystopian plans for "freedom cities" expose why Musk wants to end government by the people

Musk doesn't seem worried that he and Trump threaten social and economic collapse. On the contrary, it appears that's his goal.

Musk swims in a tech-fascist ideology that believes democracy should be replaced by billionaire dictators — like himself.

MAGA figures fuel idea of Derek Chauvin pardon Pardoning Chauvin would keep with MAGA's own-the-libs and anti-social justice mentality.

Prominent supporters of President Trump — led by Ben Shapiro — are fueling a major push to pardon Derek Chauvin, the white former Minnesota police officer convicted of killing George Floyd in 2020.

A reminder that a number of the attacks on the FAA so far appear to have been driven by Musk's anger at the agency for not approving SpaceX launches quickly enough.

14 flags again today. Nazi shit.

Please don't say that no one is doing anything. We're waiting for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov to catch up with their constituents.

Dying in a hideous plane crash because the world’s most racist and unlovable nerds couldn’t handle a 45 minute HR training.

The literal wealthiest man in the world donating hundreds of millions of dollars to a presidential campaign and getting rewarded with a government post where he can award his companies with contracts is the most cartoonish possible rendering of what people warned about after Citizens United.

A reporter for Politico writes an article primarily about how she never sees any Democrats on Twitter/X anymore. She never for a second questions whether she should be getting most of her political information from a website owned and operated by the administration and designed to manipulate her.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, during a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, rejected an offer by the Trump administration to relinquish half of the country’s mineral resources in exchange for U.S. support, according to people with knowledge of the talks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

Hilarious how in 2016, 2020 and 2024 they said “not everybody who voted for tr-mp is racist” and what’s the first thing he does back in the WH? “Everybody has to be racist again or else.”

For years it was considered gauche to call Trump’s guys Nazis and now his government is led by literal Nazis.

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

Staffer with Elon Musk's DOGE amplified white supremacists online One of the people working with billionaire Elon Musk in his efforts to overhaul the U.S. government is a Berkeley-educated computer scientist who has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online.

Remember when they claimed this was all about protecting free speech?

The irony of the same right that once screamed about cancel culture (“people are losing their jobs for saying the wrong thing!”) literally cancelling anyone who’s ever cared about diversity

Trump-voting states have more to lose if Education Department dismantled States that voted for Trump receive more federal education funds than those that voted for Harris.

Trump's promise to dismantle the Education Department will likely be more costly for red states than blue.

Trump states, on average, use more federal funding in their education apportions than states that voted for Vice President Harris. www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...

This is what happens when you elect a man who doesn’t believe in consent.

Ever since Barack Obama became the President, the prevailing rhetoric from the right wing was that the left is intentionally trying to destroy America.

Well, what the fuck would you call this?!
