(and then prosecute them)
I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

It will take health care from millions of people to fund tax cut for billionaires, secret police to arrest the President’s critics, and concentration camps.
It’s fascism.
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
Let's gooooooo. They are not unbeatable. They're only unchallenged.

The leadership of the Democratic Party is worse than useless.
at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

If they were, they would be talking about Israel's nuclear weapons too.
The White House is clearly scared of the power states have to build the clean energy economy and is resorting to blatantly unconstitutional tactics. The Trump administration is hoping that pro-climate state governments back down in fear. How should states respond? Simple. Ramp up instead. 🧵

It was cold and windy and rained and rained. No one around me cared.
"Universities can't survive without students" is an obvious fact that a lot of people have talked themselves into forgetting.

02.04.2025 02:10 — 👍 29 🔁 7 💬 1 📌 0Screenshot of Politico article. Text reads: "The dynamics at work in the Great Grovel reveal a paradox. In theory, wealthy institutions with more diverse revenue lines should be more insulated from outside pressure. In practice, the opposite seems true, since these wealthy interests perceive more points of vulnerability — and, from the other perspective, potential profit — they therefore have more incentive to get along and go along."
One of the big differences between this time & last time is the widespread surrender of powerful institutions: business, law, higher ed. Last time, they protected their agendas and created friction. Now they're collaborating.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take way their visas." The total # of revoked visas “might be more than 300 at this point"
A stunning assault on the First Amendment
Before Rubio's confirmation, senators and pundits acted as though he was a "sane," "rational," "normal," "moderate" nominee. He's constantly showing himself to be a right-wing extremist.
This is exactly right.
State & local leaders make the calls on our power mix, transit, and buildings, some of the biggest drivers of climate pollution. We can achieve 75% of our Paris climate commitments through state and local policy.
Serious about climate action? We’ve gotta show up down-ballot.
“If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.”

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others
