If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

A shorter version of my thread: for chrissakes can we pay attention to what fascism does instead of what it says? No, Trump isn’t trying stupidly and failing to revive U.S. industry. He’s trying quite effectively to burn it down so he can rule the ashes. Seriously. That’s the plan.

At least now I understand how he bankrupted a casino

Remember how during the campaign trump said Aurora, Colorado was a 'war zone' because it was overrun by migrant crime??

Well, 400 ICE agents were sent there this week and they only made ONE arrest.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Right-wing influencers didn’t "rise organically"—they were platformed & boosted by strategists & foreign actors.
Meanwhile pro-democracy voices are left to fend for themselves. We must invest in creators who will fight for democracy.

1️⃣ The right is winning the digital war.
They use AI & bot networks to manufacture consensus, manipulate algorithms, and flood social media with disinfo.

Meanwhile, we have no equivalent response. It’s time to change that. Here’s how we fight back. 🧵👇

7️⃣The stakes couldn’t be higher.
We are fighting for democracy itself.

We need funders, strategists & digital experts to step up NOW.
If you’re already working on this, let’s amplify it. If not, let’s build it.

📢 Who’s ready to fight back?

6️⃣ This isn’t about playing dirty—it’s about leveling the field.
The right has weaponized social media to create fake consensus & drown out reality.

If we don’t fight back with the same digital tools, we’ll keep losing elections before people even vote.

(@MeidasTouch, @PodSaveAmerica, @mcuban)

5️⃣ We need a fact-based digital strategy to counter disinfo & ensure truth reaches voters.

✅Use ethical AI tools to amplify facts & disrupt bad actors (@BotSentinel is tracking this).
✅Train activists on TikTok, Instagram & YouTube—@NextGenAmerica
✅Rapid-response teams—@MoveOn & @IndivisibleTeam

4️⃣ If We Don't Adapt We Lose

The right weaponized social media to create fake consensus & drown out reality.

@MeidasTouch & @slpng_giants prove digital activism works. Imagine the impact of a coordinated strategy.

If we don’t fight back with the same tools, we lose before votes are cast.

How Democrats Can Fight Back Jamie Raskin lays out the legal strategy to oppose Trump but says, “We’re not going to sue our way out of a political crisis”—Democrats need a political organizing strategy.

3️⃣ Jamie Raskin Knows We Need a Better Strategy
Rep. @RepRaskin has warned that Democrats are losing the social media war:
"The Democrats have to get a lot more sophisticated about social media and the entire information warfare that the radical right is engaging in."

2️⃣ The problem:
-Far-right bot networks flood social platforms, boosting propaganda.
-Algorithms reward engagement over truth.
-Fact-checking alone isn’t enough—bots keep lies trending.
-The left is playing defense while the right dominates the digital space.
This is an organized attack on democracy.

1️⃣ The right is winning the digital war.
They use AI & bot networks to manufacture consensus, manipulate algorithms, and flood social media with disinfo.

Middle school students hold walkout during Hegseth visit to US base in Germany

I can't imagine Fox News will be covering this. Someone stationed at the base wrote in a FB post "This was not the only pushback. There was a town hall too and people were NOT HAPPY."

We wrote this a few months ago, and I keep revisiting this question of how we can stop dehumanizing others, particularly the most marginalized among us. We have to see others’ full humanity to find liberation for all. #psychscisky

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Whoever was this reporter…. I’d like to buy them a drink. 🥃
