Sadly, this is my fear as well. Pay attention to what @willbunch.bsky.social is saying here:

the salient point here is not who he is, but the fact that he did not commit any crime.

Democratic US Senator Padilla forced to ground, handcuffed by security agents Democratic U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was shoved out of a room, forced to the ground and handcuffed by security after attempting to ask a question at a Thursday press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

Buy books. But not from Amazon. Buy them from Bookshop.org, the independent site. This move by Amazon is shameful.

Here is a link to my book on Bookshop.org.

Republicans in Congress have done a lot wrong, but their unforgivable political sin, in my book, is their conscious decision that making every American's life worse is an acceptable price to pay for not being primaried.

They know what Trump is doing to America, and it doesn't matter to them.

White House tweet with Trump holding a clearly manipulated photo purportedly of Abrego Garcia’s hand. MS 13 is written on his knuckles (in what I believe to be the ios default photo editor font).

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

A tangible thing you can do today to fight Trump's takeover of the federal government Write a comment on a rule that will neuter Schedule F

here's what you can do to derail Schedule F and restore an independent civil service: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-tangible...

They spent the last four years telling us people who invaded the capital and beat police officers with flagpoles were unjustly persecuted civil rights heroes and now it’s taken about 45 minutes for them to be like “yeah if you write an op-ed you’re going to the blacksite that’s just common sense”

We are now at the point where the AP can write this as if its a simple background fact and it sparks no outrage: "Trump has made no secret of his plans to use the power of the federal government to target domestic political adversaries."

Amy Klobuchar demanding to speak at the massive Hands Off Rally in Saint Paul and then spending the next week confirming Trump appointees is amazing. Just tremendous contempt for her constituents.

First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

I highly recommend you watch this in its entirely. Imagine this was you or your loved one when you listen to the last quote. Absolutely chilling.

Trump Picks Golf Dinner Over Dignified Transfer of U.S. Troops’ Bodies Trump flew to the Saudi-funded event in Florida on Friday.

And despite a so-called “national emergency” 🙄

“Rather than attend the dignified transfer of the bodies of four U.S. Army soldiers who died on a training mission in Lithuania, Trump flew to Florida to watch a Saudi-funded LIV golf tournament at his own course."

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Booker's TikTok feed

Sen. @booker.senate.gov's speech on the Senate floor, now live for almost 25 hours, has been liked on TikTok a staggering 350 million times www.tiktok.com/@senbooker/l...

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

This is chilling. It is a national emergency. We are consigning this person to torture so Trump can further curry favor with Putin.

They Are Going to Take Everything If We Don't Stop Them The government is going to destroy unions if we don't fight now.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.

The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

If we didn’t laugh, we’d cry. @theonion.com

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.

But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

Make this go viral!

Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why.

What would you call that?

DHS detains grad student who advocated for Palestine and the "humanity of all people" Rumeysa Ozturk, a student at Tufts University, drew the attention of a pro-Israel group for co-auhtoring an op-ed

Apparently her crime consisted entirely of writing an oped that the people in power did not like.

If you're in or near Boston, there's a rally at Powderhouse Square in Somerville at 5:30.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

The Times has to issue a correction here. An Executive order can’t “require” any such thing. Calling it ‘an aggressive push to catch” fraud is bad editorial judgment. The first part is demonstrably false. Those who have any voice to the Times need to demand this. Might as well say pigs fly.
