Opinion | Trump, Juan Crow and Who Gets to Be an American The rights conferred to all by the Constitution are now subject to a sliding scale of extralegal violability depending on race, ethnicity or assumed immigration status.

Birtherism “was a mere curtain raiser for today’s campaign of racialized delegitimization aimed both at nonwhite elected officials and journalists as well as nonwhite immigrants, regardless of status, along with U.S. citizens and U.S. military service members,” Soraya Nadia McDonald writes.

They’ll have to reconcile the god that let this happen with the one that they claimed was punishing gays during the 1980s AIDS epidemic. Is this a new message? Perhaps natural selection against climate skeptics?

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

“Americans are being forced to accept masked paramilitary forces stopping you anytime, anywhere—demanding to know where people are from,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. “It is an assault on the idea of America itself.”

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.”

But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe.

With no apology or remorse.

Fake Christian, small man.

The fentanyl tariffs alone should bring in BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars!

Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

She’s trying to justify that DHS jet she has been requesting

Chicken-like wild bird (quail) with bold bar pattern on its breast and a tiny white crest atop its head

On my one day of NOT birding during my recent Santa Fe visit, I went for a morning run along a river trail. And added a new bird (“lifer”) to my list. Hello, scaled quail. Sometimes the birding comes AT you! #birding #nature

These are the same people saying Comey should be arrested for his cringey “Live laugh love” sea shell post. As if THAT were inciting violence!

NASHVILLE mayor Freddie O’Connell: “By ICE’s own admission, a large % of people caught up in this sweep had no criminal record.”

As @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn claim this is about violent criminals, DHS’ own release shows it’s just 5 of 196 (2%) www.wsmv.com/2025/05/14/n...

These are some badass birds

My poor boy has something wrong with his paw again. Twice-daily chlorhexidine rinse and the “cone”. #lagottoromagnolo #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Those Christian values come shining through

Marc, thank you for working to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. Unlike those in government who swore an oath to do the same.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Denmark never imposed any restrictions on American military presence in Greenland. This is clearly not about American security.

It’s easy enough to use Greenland for US security if that’s the goal: maintain and strengthen alliances with Denmark, the EU, and NATO. What a dummy!

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

The house revealed a budget plan that eliminates the Head Start program.

There are currently almost 780,000 children enrolled in Head Start who will suffer the loss of this program.

This shows republicans never cared about children but controlling women.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

Disbar them already!

$3 billion yanked from schools to help pay for Trump’s tax cuts At the end of March, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon sent a letter to state school officials across the country declaring that the federal government was abruptly ending pandemic-related relief f...

The Have Nots vs The Have Yachts:

Another $3 billion is being ripped away from schools to pay for more tax cuts for the super-rich that let them write off things like their private jets and yachts.

We’re just the piggy bank for billionaires.

Seems more important to hold a news conference on the measles breakout, but I guess that’s just me

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Wild that Rand Paul is out here making a clearer, more forceful case against Trump’s disastrous tariff policies than most Democrats eyeing a run for president.

For your enjoyment: here is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon talking about implementing AI in schools, but pronouncing it "A1," as in "A1 Steak Sauce"

These are the kind of memes currently circulating on Chinese social media.

Trump bringing manufacturing back to America…

Who owns this company?
