‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

Trump has never said anything as critical about Vladimir Putin or any Russian war criminal as he did today about the majority on the US Supreme Court.

“Rant angrily and…these f’ing courts took away my stick!” 😭 That’s how that quote goes, right?

Now he’s going to have to resort to angry bleating on Truth Social to settle wars!

Trump says he’s signing an executive order to implement a 10% global tariff after his Supreme Court loss.

Doubling down on stupid. Typical.

Trump’s “Board of Peace” includes 27 countries — 11 are authoritarian states: Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Egypt, UAE, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Kuwait

Peace by authoritarian regime — from the same folks who dismembered Khashoggi

March 27, 1936: Portraits of the Führer are raised on official buildings across Berlin. This one at the Potsdamer Railway Station reads "Freedom - Peace"

Perfect visual of a president who openly, flagrantly believes he is above the law.

I can’t wait to tell our kids about how we stopped the autocrats.

This just gave me a huge boost of new energy.

Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx I have an update on Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother. Me and my team have been in contact with Juan’s family. Juan has bronchitis—according to his mom—and at some point in the last several hours he was unresponsive. Juan was still discharged from the hospital despite that around midnight today. Juan’s mom went in front of an immigration judge this morning. She was told she will be deported, but was not told when or where. Both Juan and his mom are back at Dilley and their future remains uncertain. We are all deeply concerned that Juan and his mom will be deported and that Juan’s health will continue to deteriorate. His life is in danger because of ICE’s monstrous cruelty. I will continue to provide updates and we will keep fighting to protect them.

A two month old baby in one of the country's immigrant concentration camps is suffering from bronchitis and was recently unresponsive.

They are refusing him care.

A baby may be killed at the hands of ICE. Will we care about this as much as a white man being murdered?

AOC wins in a tight, relatively low turnout race. Vance lack of charisma, Trump admin baggage, mediocre Trump economy weighs him down w/ soft Republicans & Trump-only voters. Dems big motivation lead over many issues. Horseshoe effect for Manosphere, etc with progressive healthcare policy.

Me: Up and down the ticket, any Republican who supported Trump in any way post-January 6 has to go. I don’t care who the Democratic candidate is.

Some progressives that I know: That candidate supported private school vouchers so…

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

"The interview was conducted July 24, 2019, and entered into the FBI’s case files on August 9, the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell."

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Musk advocates white monoculturalism

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

Trump’s Relentless Self-Promotion Fosters an American Cult of Personality

Trump’s Relentless Self-Promotion Fosters an American Cult of Personality: President Trump has engaged in a spree of self-aggrandizement unlike any of his predecessors, fostering a mythologized superhuman persona and making himself the inescapable force at home and around the world. 🎁

All of this feels like common sense, but I guess that makes me woke too.

“But as the father of a daughter, I want you to know that I fully detest what you are doing to so many other people’s children right now.”

this continent long before. The man who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories and the traditions and the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new. We are part of one civilization - Western civilization. We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir.

The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

“Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future…” by going back to the pre-WWII status quo.

I will continue to beat this drum: this is not about what happens on Election Day, but afterwards.

The key tell is her articulation of the core MAGA belief that the legitimacy of elections is entirely determined by the results: if they win, it’s legitimate; if they lose, it’s not.

My initial thought: Zoolander sequel where Derek Jr. is now 20 and this is the plot.

Trump's former attorney. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Putting this wild RedHawks basketball season into perspective - they won 41 games total in my 3.5 years there. The football team won 9. I don’t miss my college days often, but man it would be fun to be there for this.

Here in (unfortunately) red Ohio. Jon Husted might not need his Senate seat soon though 👀

ICE has forfeited that claim thanks to its own behavior and leadership. It’s not a “legitimate law enforcement agency.” Defund ICE.
