I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

El Salvador President Bukele says he won't be releasing a Maryland man back to the US Trump’s top advisers and Nayib Bukele say that they had no basis for the Central American nation to return a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there.

What do you know, President Trump is lockstep with a foreign dictator on detaining, shackling and deporting Trump’s deportee without any Due Process.

Trump must follow the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate the return of their illegal prisoner.

Trump is targeting US universities as never before. Here are four ways to help them | Cas Mudde Supporters in Europe can offer new opportunities and minimise the isolation. Certainly they can avoid making things worse, says political scientist Cas Mudde

A Guardian op-Ed based on an earlier Bluesky thread.

A second unvaccinated school-aged child in West Texas has died from a measles-related illness.

So, are we great again yet?

Sunday thought The importance of taking care of yourself

These are frightening times. Your courage and tenacity are desperately needed. They will be needed for the rest of this year and next, and the years thereafter. Which is why you must also take care of yourself. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

Do you feel it?
Do you feel the momentum shift?
The will of the people is strong.
And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together.
Resist.
Persist.
Standup.
Speak out.
Fight.
We can do this.
We WILL do this.
We ARE doing it.
And we will not stop.

Millions of people took to the streets yesterday to send a message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Even during these dark days, remember that you are not alone. Solidarity.

Hands Off! Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the stre...

If you’re upset about the chaos and corruption Trump is inflicting on your country—whether your focus is the nihilistic dismantling of government, the economy, our foreign relations, or his threats to the rule of law—please join the nationwide marches on April 5. Learn more here 👉

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

Countries, firms, states, universities:

Stop caving on individual points!

It is not about “antisemitism”, “DEI”,“trans athletes” or “wokeness”!

It is about complete submission!

Nothing else will be acceptable!

You cannot win alone!

United we stand a chance, divided we will fall!

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.

Taking back our power starts now.

The big idea: do we worry too much about misinformation? Seeing falsehoods everywhere is as damaging as believing too much. Our focus should be on helping people interpret information better

“There are two errors we must avoid if we want to get closer to the truth: we shouldn’t believe things that are false, and we shouldn’t discount things that are true.”

Excellent piece on “misinformation” 👇

Thank for your time and the rich conversation today. Super helpful to engage and get your thoughts. Cheers!

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

The Path to American Authoritarianism What comes after democratic breakdown.

This is the one article to read on contemporary (and future) U.S. politics. Laid out analytically and clearly. There is a hint of optimism (which I do not share but do appreciate).
