i feel the same way

It turns out a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster does not make for a good President.

the most cruel administration of all time. them being this outwardly evil genuinely might be their downfall in the end

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

NOTE: There are more people *in this frame of television* than there are transgender athletes in the State of Maine

*All* of this is theater for stupid people

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy!

Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.

roberts et al have divined the Actual Intent of the constitution, which is to allow the government to exercise nearly unaccountable power to strip people of their rights. it is why we fought the revolution!

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

When we are talking about places like Zanesville, this is getting real. Thanks to Gov Walz and all those willing to talk.

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

well that’s it folks

Estimate of total protesting on 4/5 is now 5.2M, based on reports from over 1.6K events nationwide.

More than 21K volunteers traveled the country to monitor each location & work with authorities to assess & estimate crowd size from compilation of reports.

My guess is, it's still a low estimate.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Rural Americans Stand Up to Tom Homan, Stand With Immigrant Mom and Kids “I’ve driven them to their house after tutoring sessions,” said the Sackets Harbor Central School principal. "In this kind of town, this is a car pool town. I know them.”

“TOM HOMAN TOOK OUR KIDS.”

That’s what the signs read in Sackets Harbor, NY, where 1,000+ people rallied behind a local dairy worker and her three children after ICE detained them in a cruel enforcement action.

Now, thanks to the community, the family is finally coming home.

SCOTUS seems to think it's ok for the admin, without due process, to use a wartime law during a time when we are not at war, intended to target enemy aliens when in fact those targeted are not enemies. And the remedy for abuse of the law enables the govt to venue shop where challenges will be heard.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

America, people. Freedom and stuff.

make america great again means turning the clock on america’s political economy back to 1890, make america healthy again means doing the same for public health

The dumbest people are destroying us.

That makes it even more painful.

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House.

You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration.

Let me repeat that.

You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

“This is not what we voted for.” Yes, yes, it is. You just didn’t think it could destroy you, too.

I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604 U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See, e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With more and more of our most significant rulings taking place in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

i miss them so bad

So, according to SCOTUS, the Trump admin can ship a person to a foreign gulag w/o due process of any kind, just so long as they have “access to due process” while detained in said foreign gulag, which of course they won’t.

And MAGA actually thinks this shit will stop with people they don’t like?

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

This is absolutely horrifying. People can't afford to file Habeas petitions. And how is anyone going to enforce that this actually happens? And what about the people there that did NOT get due process?

House Speaker Johnson is eyeing big cuts to Medicaid. In his Louisiana district, it's a lifeline. Nearly 40% of the people in House Speaker Mike Johnson's district in Louisiana rely on Medicaid.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.
