"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

This is so sickening.

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

It’s despicable. I am also seething. As if our ancestors military service hasn’t been dishonored enough…

Prison deaths mount in El Salvador's gang crackdown On March 26, El Salvador’s street gangs had killed 62 people across the country, igniting a nationwide furor.

This is the notorious El Salvador prison where the Trump administration sent the Venezuelan migrants w/o due process. Judge Juan Antonio Durán said, “It makes you sad to see how they’re treating people, because there are a lot of innocent people locked up.” apnews.com/article/el-s...

First 250+ migrant gang members from US arrive in El Salvador — where they’ll be held in a notorious mega-prison The US has flown more than 250 accused migrant gang members to El Salvador, where they were sent to a notorious mega-prison — in direct defiance of a federal judge’s ruling against the Trump admini…

250 Venezuelans have been disappeared into one of the worst prisons in Central America based on Trump’s invocation of a law only used 3 times in our history - the last time resulted in the Japanese-American internment. These men have had no due process. It’s monstrous.

I’m not sure that the Trump Democrats strategy of letting the bully take their lunch money today in the hopes the bully will be nice to them tomorrow will be all that effective

It is actually very simple: What Trump and Musk are doing is worse than a shutdown.

Damn shame.

You must let the American people know you are resisting this coup every step of the way. That you stand behind them and the Federal workers . Hold up banners supporting DEI and the LGBTQ community.

Remembering Nina Simone on her birthday and thankful that I have kept this ticket stub from her concert back in 2000. #blackhistorymonth #memories

And for a Black History month program. We know what utter nonsense that will be.

WTF?

Ah, must be nice to be back home! I’ve been gone a long time.

It’s the kind of movie, you only need to see once or twice in a lifetime. It stays with you. Being from the Bay Area makes it hit even harder. The film really captures the specific sense of place.

This is definitely one of mine. Absolutely devastating.

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

Biologists Rip Trump’s 'Non-Sensical' Executive Order Declaring Only 2 Sexes “Clearly, this order is not fully informed by current biological science,” said Dr. Richard Bribiescas, president of the Human Biology Association.

ICYMI: I asked a bunch of biologists to weigh in on Trump's *official* definitions of "male" and "female" in his executive order declaring only 2 sexes.

They are as "nonsensical" as they are embarrassingly detached from basic human biology. www.huffpost.com/entry/biolog...

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals.

Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.
