It’s not just that Trump is deporting people without due process.
He’s deporting people without due process *because* he needs
to sustain false claims about them,
to sustain the myth about β€œinvasion” that Stephen Miller is promoting

Every MAGA asshole should be looking at this and ask themselves. Are you okay with this? No due process. No recourse. The administration just decided to murder this man.

Trump now wants these prisons for US citizens.

We are not powerless in the face of authoritarianism. We the people canβ€”and mustβ€”resist. And we must demand that the institutions we’re part of do the same. We do this for our own freedom, and for those who have less power to resist. So today, say fuck you to the regimeβ€”and to those who prop it up.

Who are you addressing here? The largely educated leftist and liberal user base of Bluesky who just want you - ANY OF YOU - to do something in response to illegal power grabs by a non-elected de facto member of government and the rapid dissolution of the administrative state?

@resist.bot makes it quick and easy to contact your representatives and let them know how you feel about Elon Musk & his β€œaides” having access to government payment systems.

more like: his remarks followed his reflex to seize on occasions of public distress and fear as opportunities to deny accountability through escalating racist and partisan demagoguery

@jimacosta.bsky.social Thanks for always asking the tough questions and not being afraid.

@cnn.com has taken the wrong path.

Journalism dies under media control from a tyrant dictator and his regime.

Indeed, we will. Who exactly is the unqualified DEI hire, Austin or Hegseth?

Progressives need to reform the tax code.I'm gonna let you in on a little secret... America doesn't have $36-Trillion in debt because humble, regular folks have Social Security and Medicare. It's because billionaires and millionaires don't pay enough in taxes.
